fun stuff!
What a week! I am so pleased to have sent off my fabric for Bitter Betty’s swap. And I have been cleaning up a storm in preparation for my workshop tomorrow.
When I got back from vacation last Saturday, there was a notice from the post office that I had a package from China. I couldn’t imagine what it was. When I went to get it on Monday, here is what I found-
Noah, the traveling gnome! Mary has organized a trip around the world for this fellow- a Rosa Pomar gnome. Shula knitted him a sweater when he was in Australia, but he must be dying of the heat now- it is hot and humid as anything here in Boston! Next week, I will take him around Arlington for some photos and will post them on his Flickr site.
And sweet Elia has named me a-
Yep, ME- a Rockin’ Girl Blogger! That has had this 50+ blogger smiling all week, every time I think about it. This is a project started by Roberta- what a great idea! Now I am suppose to name 5 people. That is the hard part because it is always leaving out some totally fantastic people. Eek, I tried and I just can’t do it right now- I will try again next week.
And speaking of 50 plus- next week is my birthday and I am going to give out some presents. Let’s say 4 presents. I’ll wrap up some of the fabric I printed and if I have any idea who you are, via a blog or flickr or something, I try to pick out some stuff from my stash that you’d like. Leave me a comment or email me – mimik(at)pobox.com. I will pick out my giftees at random next Thursday- Happy Birthday me!

Thanks for sharing your work with all of us in the internet craft community. I know I’m not alone in finding inspiration from your art.

Happy Birthday in advance, if I’m reading the post correctly? I love all of your fabric! If Noah doesn’t have a fixed agenda I’d be happy to show him around Seattle.

Happy Birthday! You have been such an inspiration to me! I love all of your work. I always enjoy seeing what new ideas you come up with.
August 2nd, 2007 at 7:39 am
Happy Birthday! I LOVE your new tiki faces!
August 2nd, 2007 at 3:16 pm
I get your newsletter and really enjoy seeing what you are working on… inspirational for me!
I’m a greeting card designer/illustrator working at home here in Southern CA for 15+ years now and miss working with other creative types. Blogs are a really nice way for me to keep “tapped in”. “Watching” you doing what you love and others makes me continually want to do personal pleasure art away from what I do to earn income right now. Someday–just gotta start and relearn “for pleasure only”–not: “Maybe I can sell this!!”.
Happy Birthday!

A braziliam happy hug on your birthday, Mimi!
Naked robot will never ever be forgotten. Either will the tikies. But I must tell you that I felt in love for the boyfriend guy I found at Etsy. Don’t let my husband know about that, but fact is that if there was a frog in front of me and I to kiss it, I would really like it to become him… You are the best!
