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!

Celebration Sale and Darling New Duds
Just a quick post to announce the celebration sale going on over at the Shop.
*All kitchen towels are now $6.50.
*Most limited edition clothing is $20.00.
*Most T-Shirts are now $18.00.
I decided against doing a different sale everyday and just went with 3 deals that will run all week.
There's also a few new styles coming this week which are included in the aforementioned sale. Words can't express just how I feel about this lovely yellow ditty.
There's also a pink version that I'm equally speechless over.
Happy shopping lovelies and have a great Tuesday!

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.
Tah,

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.-
