Questionable love affair
So I just may or may not be having a love affair with the great outdoors this year. That may seem like a weird thing for those of you spending your weekends on sun soaked adventures camping, rock climbing, and/or kayaking away (see I really have no clue what goes on out there). I'll rock a porch chair and glass of iced tea like no other, but that's it really, or rather that was it.
Now I can't seem to stay inside, especially around meal times. So I wanted to share some of my fav outdoor eating finds.
This Kissing Bunnies picnic blanket pictured above was too cute not to share, and since we all know that balancing a paper plate on your lap via a lawn chair is way over rated, this spread is perfect for nibbling outside.
This cheery little tiffin lunch pail stopped me dead in my tracks, with it's bento styled shape and bright colors. I've always loved the idea of these stackable lunchboxes, that keep everything separate and in their place. This little guy makes transporting my fruits, salads and sandwiches or anything else I wish drama free. Anyhoo, happy picnic'n my lovelies!

Farmers Market I've missed you so.
Yes, it's almost time for Bruno and I to wake up way earlier then one should on a Saturday, pour our coffee to go and leisurely stroll about our downtown area getting the lay of the land and keeping our eyes peeled for something we didn't know we couldn't live without.
I'm talking about the opening of the farmers market of course!
I can almost smell the freshly baked pastry fumes wavering in the streets. Hear the foodies out in full force perusing fresh veggies and chatting with their favorite farmers. Ah yes, it's been tooo long farmers market.
This year we're celebrating the arrival of grocery shopping being fun again with these limited editon fabric produce bags. The perfect way to bring your haul home in style.
We've obtained a community garden plot this year (more on that later) and while we're looking forward to growing a lot of our own veggies, we'll still frequent the market looking for new favorites. I'm especially day dreaming about heirloom lettuce and tomatoes. I've never thought so much about produce since I was a kid and wanted nothing to do with it.
We'd love to hear about your growing plans or favorite farmers market finds!
Over and and out.
XO-

Mad about Yerba Mate
Mad I tell ya! Most people that know me know that coffee is my poison of choice, but Yerba Mate comes in at a realllly close second. I found this yummy stuff when the wonderful Tea Noir included a sample of her magnificent Mocha Mate in one of my orders and I've been smitten ever since. While I still love her Mates (pronounced Mot-tay) I've been dabbling with a few other brews like that are sooo good including my new favorite Cocoa Mint Mate which is what's brewing in my french press above. For those not in the know Mate is a South American herb that's a great alternative to teas and is most popular in Argentina, while my preferred method to brew it is my french press (surprise surprise) the traditional way to drink it is in a small hollowed out gourd with a long filter straw made of metal called a bombilla.
It is available in tea bags my favorite is Pixie Mate if your on the go and can't be bothered with brewing it the traditional way, I must say that it is soooo much better the traditional way though. One thing I love about this stuff is it really packs a punch that lasts without the jitters that it's cohort coffee tends to hash out. I could seriously drink this stuff all day long and the best part? There's no headaches or addiction when you don't drink it, unlike my beloved coffee. So if your looking for an alternative to coffee or green tea, or just wanna try something new I urge you to give it a go. It's known for it's euphoric effects and I can honestly say it makes you feel pretty darn good. Go ahead and try and frown when you have a nice steamy cup this stuff....go ahead I dare ya.

Zombie Fest
It's that time of year again. Days are shorter, nights are longer and zombies are everywhere! Halloween is by far me and Bruno's favorite holiday and we usually celebrate for weeks leading up to the big day. Has anyone heard of or better yet actually done the Run For Your Lives 5K?
It pairs my love of 5k's and zombies, I mean what could be better? Bruno and I have wanted to participate in one of these since finding out they existed last year, but always miss the date in our area. I've been looking for a nice test run of my zombie escape plan, to work out any kinks.

So I got my act together
and created a newsletter with the help of the good peeps at Mad Mimi. For the longest time I read about the importance of newsletters and keeping your audience connected. For almost a year now "create newsletter" has been on my to-do list. Had I known how easy it was, I would have crossed it off ages ago.
Mad Mimi makes it easy with customizable templates and makes it easy to share via emails or twitter. Not to mention rocking customer service if any questions should arise. If your interested in creating your own check them out, there's really no need to put it off like I did. Or if your interested in signing up for mine, please do! You'll find the handy dandy sign up button on the left hand colum.
Anyhoo, I'm pleased as punch with the outcome and am already diligently planning future issues.
Which may or may not include these new Derby Girl Christmas Ornaments I've been working on for the holidays. Be on the look out for Gnomes, Sewing Machines and Camera ornaments as well or sign up for my newsletter (shameless plug I know) if you'd like to know when they'll hit the
Shop.
Happy Wednesday all!

I haven't owned a cape since I was 8
And at 32 I'm having a bit of a issue with that. This cooler weather means one of my favorite things, baking? Sure. What I really mean is the understated charm that is dressing in layers. Esspecially when a unexpected pop of color is thrown in.
These four are my top contenders. If anyone knows of any other cutesy capes please feel free to share. I'm off to press a few of these guys on some tops I just finished for the Shop.
Pictures coming soon. Cheers my lovlies, X.O. -M.M.

Head Over Wheels
Hiatus might be the wrong word to use for the super long break I've had from blogging, but I'm back and head over wheels in love!! With roller derby that is.
I recently joined the newly formed leauge in my town (The McLean County Missfits)I finally decided on the derby name "9 Milly" after countless weeks of diliberating and am so excited/borderlined obbessed it's not even funny. I think if I could figure out how to sew in my skates I would, but in the mean time I'll settle for screen printing in them.
It's a wonderful release and a killer workout, but has done nothing to curb my sock obbession. Of course I have used derby as a valid excuse to hit up my most fav sock site Sock Dreams. I adore these nerd socks and of course the crafty socks are already tucked in my sock drawer. And by "tucked" I mean crammed, as the afore mentioned sock obbession is visablily taking it's toll. They seem to be having a sale over at SD soooo many cute socks and only these 2 feet. Sigh.
Speaking of sales, this week most of the limited edtion clothes in the shop will be on sale for $18 or $20 to make room for new fall designs.
Happy Monday all!

B&W Goodness.
As promised, here's a pic of my new workbench/shipping station, it's perfect for holding all my packing supplies and makes getting orders out a breeze.
It's been painted and screen printed with my sprocket design, but it's still not done. Eventually a super large scooter will grace the peg board as well as the table part. I love how it's coming along and wanted to show it off. I also wanted to remind you all of the "New Studio Celebration Sale" that I'll be having in the Shop all of next week with a special deal each day.
This includes my limited edition goods as well like this new sew a go shirt now in black and white. So stop by on Monday and take a peep lovelies.

I've moved!
Follow my blog with Bloglovin
I've been away for sometime but not without good reason, Andy and I have just wrapped up a move to the new M.M. studio, a small carriage house right behind my house. True it wasn't as easy peasy as I thought it'd be. But two weeks, several break downs, and bags upon bags of fabric (seriously where did it come from?!) later and we're all moved in, not quite work ready but damn it we're IN! Hopefully I'll have more workspace pics up soon and new designs even sooner. I'm off to finish working on this really fun idea I have for my workbench, pics coming soon.
Signing off for now but not long,
X.O.-

Wait what?!
It's New Years Day some how. I have no clue how this happened it kinda snuck up on me. So guess who had no plans for last night? That might have bothered me a few years ago but after the holidays that kicked my ass (in the best way possible) I guess I was looking forward to a not so quiet night home. I'm also looking forward to my usual calendar hunt, and there are so many fun ones on my radar.
Not only does this cutie from Mod Cloth reek of retro goodness it also pairs my love of corn dogs and Carmel apples (never in that order, not since the state fair of 98) and features the cutest version of the two all dolled up and proclaiming their "Careless love".
I also really love this Saffrom Universal art filled planner, from
An Artful Agenda
It features hand-drawn images and lettering on each page. I love the free form that allows you to feel like your writing in a journal that someone has already kindly illustrated for you.
Hope everyone had a safe and happy New Year! May this one be even better.

I am so feeling the luv...
I'm pleased as punch to announce that fabric napkins from Moxie Madness were chosen to be featured in Chow.com's Holiday Gift Guide Woot!
Making their debut are the latest design from the shop , The Switchblade Silverware Set. Which started as a joke between Andy and I. I pressed a few for us and decided we might not be the only ones with a little dinner time argo.
I also received some love from one of the sweetest girls on the east coast, my new pal Darcy Danger. She sent me not one but two of the cutest mini notebooks from the The Black Apple.
I have been coveting these lovelies for ages now and after coming clean to DD that I have a collection of journals that I'm scared to "ruin" with my serial killerish handwriting, she sent them my way and I'm SO very grateful. Not only do they have uber cool graphics, but also a sweet little poem on the back about how important it is to fill up your notebooks. Something that I'm slowly learning to do. Thanks for the lesson Darcy and happy Tuesday all!

So last night I had some beers
while poking around one of my Nigella cookbooks and found a recipe for hasselback
potatoes, but figured I would improvise with larger potatoes, garlic olive oil and some rosemary.
Now we use ALOT of potatoes here in the land of madness and these are becoming a fast favorite. Not only are they the perfect savory, herb infused fix but they are so dang fun to eat. For serious.
Anyhoo, I recently got my hands on some kick ass rubber stamps recently and decided to use my favorite on these tiny envelopes I acquired for thank yous to include in orders and such. I love this wide eyed cat, it totally reminds me of those old kitty wall clocks where the eyes and tail would tick back and forth. Member those?
In other news, there's a new design in the shop and a few new limited edition styles as well with more to come.
Off to make breakfast for dinner. My ABSOLUTE favorite!!

Hip-Hip Hooray...
It's sewing machine day! Well it was yesterday but this post got eaten. But even if your calendar company is like mine and made the foolish mistake not to include this holiday, it's not too late to celebrate.
Although I didn't have any sewing originally planned for today, there's no way I can sit idlely by. Oh and to share the love I'm giving away a nice fat pack of my sewing machine patches to a random commenter on Saturday the 12th, so get to stitching...and commenting! You all can thank the awesome Creative Jar who not only informed me of national sewing machine day but also featured me on her blog and put a bug in my ear to offer a giveaway. She's having two great giveaways herself in honor of this dandy of a day so make sure to check her Blog
out. Good luck lovelies!

This just in...
Does anyone remember these things? Ahhh...80's technology at it's finest. A friend picked this up for me at a thrift in PA and I adore it. And yes, it still works. That'll teach me to make fun of her and what I thought was her ancient calculator.
There are oodles of new designs and shirt styles available in the shop
The above design "Threads" is part of the Sewing Circle line I mentioned a few posts ago, and is one of my personal favorites.
I found a new supplier that has amazing duds so be expecting something a little out of the ordinary from now on. Here are a few more of the newest styling's.
I especially love this squirrel tunic top with it's slight cowl neck and the heart shaped buttons and all. There is plenty more coming but not before I relax for this long weekend. Surely lazy days are ahead, hope you all have plenty of perfectly lazy moments.

The Protector
Just a quick post to show off the newest design in the land of madness "The Protector". My homage to the remarkable art of sewing by hand.
The tunics are now avaliable in the Shop with T-Shirts soon to follow. This is the first design in a new line called "The Sewing Circle". I have a real soft spot for thimbles, they recall memories of my grandma's sewing basket and of her fretting when her tiny protector went missing. This designs for her and I'm oh so fond of it and hope you are too.
Ciao!

I'm a bit of a magazine whore.
There I said it. From over sized glossy fashion rags to tiny hand bound zines, monthly or bi-monthly they arrive to be cherished for the next week or so then set aside to be forgotten, retrieved occasionally for a forgotten article or recipe. While I enjoy them, it feels like such a waste. So with most of my subscriptions coming to a end I've chosen to do without all but my beloveds Croq, Bust and my new favorite Wired (Which at only $10 for a year wasn't a hard choice). Insert clever way to still get my fashioney, crafty, grass roots goodness without the clutter and well the hefty subscription rates. I'm talking about N.E.E.T. of course.
Filled with amazing treasures from indie businesses, dreamy fashions, D.I.Y projects and eye popping photos. Not to mention interesting articles with neet peeps. One thing I really love and find slightly dangerous about this online mag is when you see a uber cute item featured you just click on it and it takes you to the site that sells them. Another online read that I always look forward to is Craftier, a bi-monthly jaunt of tutorials, artist spotlights and up and coming projects and events.
Not to be missed my lovelies. So now that I will have a slightly smaller stack of magazines I've been on the look out for a unique rack to put them in. I've never actually owned a mag rack mainly because I've never been to impressed with the boring bulky builds that I always associate with keeping my rags neat and tidy.
This ditty is a serious contender in my search. I adore the tea pot shape and the good folks at paper doll wood shop Paper Doll Wood Shop just happen to offer this beauty in turquoise. How can I resist? No seriously.
Here's to happy reading and less clutter!

It's no secret
That I love to sew. Which is why when a friend came across this insanely cute brooch he knew it would have a good home with me. I've been meaning to share this little ditty for quite awhile actually. I've seen these pins before but never one so detailed. My favorite part is the tiny eye glasses and thimble. Swoon.
Anyhoo, Andy and finally saw Grey Gardens this weekend. It's the riches to rags story of reclusive mother and daughter, Big Edie and Little Edie Beale. The pair shared witty banter, bizarre antics, and a overly dependant relationship in a decaying mansion filled with squalor and cats, lots of cats. The Edie's also happened to be aunt and cousin to first lady Jackie O, which caused quite a stir with the press when photos of their home were released.
The dialogue captured my attention the most as well as the costumes. When Little Edie declares that "one must have the right costume for the day", I was instantly spellbound by these women and their bizarre existence. Seriously worth checking out if you have a soft spot for eccentric characters, as I tend to. Before I sign off on this post I wanted to show off the newest color available in the golden poppy tunics.
I do lots of custom orders for the black and gold and it just occurred to me to offer them in the Shop. Sometimes the obvious escapes me. Happy Tuesday all!

Kitchen Threats
I seem to be obsessed with all things kitchen lately, which is why the dinner table just got a little more dangerous. As promised fabric napkins and place mat sets are making their way into the shop, aprons and table runners are soon to follow. Summer has this way of keeping food on my mind at all times, I'm either hungry, scouring for a new recipe to take to get together's or giving my veggies a pep talk so they'll grow faster (You too basil, I want pesto NOW!) Salads are my weakness at the moment so when I found THIS I haven't even thought about buying salad dressing. I'm not even a buttermilk fan but this has changed that, let me tell you.
It would seem that I'm one step closer to the grandma kitchen-ish feel I'm going for now that there's always' buttermilk in the fridge. Just to make sure I finished the mini table runner for my kitchen table from my gram's scraps of feed sack material that I've been hoarding away forever. I've since added trim but couldn't resist snapping these shots before it was officially finished.
Time for me to turn off the food network and get back to work already.
Tah!
