Hey! It’s a Giveaway!

Do you know what day it is today? It is my BLOG BIRTHDAY! !6! Oh the places I’ve been, the people I’ve met, the friends I have made, um, the stats I have gotten totally obsessed with. Yes, six years. I won’t be linking back to early posts though. Somewhere along the way, during some computer or server change-over, the early years posts are a big mess so I try to ignore them.

In celebration of 6 years of blogging and launching the fish pattern out into the world- I hope it will be finished in the next few days- I’m having a giveaway. Pick a fish! Any fish!

My school of fish is growing even larger as I work on the pattern. The winner of the giveaway will get to choose whichever one they want before I list the rest in my Etsy shop. All you need to do is leave a comment of any kind on this post. The giveaway will close on Wednesday night 2/17 midnight est. Random number generator, announce on Thursday, you know the drill. Anyone can enter the give-away, but if you win and are not in the US, I will need to ask for a contribution towards shipping which might be around $32.

Here is my desk now, as I work on the pattern-

Still taking Photoshop baby-steps.

Other news of the week- the second meet-up was just as fun as the first. There were dire predictions of snow, but none materialized. There were 2 new people- Hi Linda and Trisha! As always, all are welcome- 2nd Wed, Starbucks, Davis Sq. Somerville, 10am. Kerry’s report here.

  7. TanyaJS Says:

    Mimi, congrats on your blog birthday! I am anxiously awaiting the fish pattern. I know my young girls would love to have one, and then they would fight over it so making another one would be ideal as well as winning one.
    Thanks

  8. Lisa Says:

  14. alison Says:

    Happy Blogiversary! many happy returns of the day…your sharing of glimpses into your life is priceless. I think that your blog was one of the very first I ever found, back when I had no real idea what a blog was, and I was impressed, not only with your work, but with the idea that art-makers, usually so isolated, could find one another through the “electronic window”

  15. elsa Says:

    Congratulations on 6 years! to have anything you’ve made would be wonderful and I just happen to love the fish! my favorite is the striped fish with the red face and tail!

  29. Edythe Heilner Says:

    I follow along on this blog faithfully and always enjoy your new offerings.
    Florida would be a good place for a tropical fish and now that we can actually claim to have had snow twice this year, a fish with a sweater coat seems even more appropriate.

  30. Miriam Levine Says:

    Call it a “Swim Away.”

    Yours for bright fish!

  49. Beth in Seattle Says:

    Congrats on your 6 years of blogging. Your art inspires me.

  50. stephanie Says:

    This is the right kind of fish for me! A LONG time ago, before we were married, my husband and I were backpacking…he was trying to teach me how to fish, but when I caught a little brook trout, it tried to get away…I told my husband, “It’s fighting!!” He said to pull it in, but I just couldn’t do it. It had never occured to me that a fish would fight for it’s life!! I threw down the pole and I’ve never fished again!

    (More than you wanted to know!!) But happy blog birthday, and I LOVE your work!!

  51. Sarah Says:

  78. sunshineyrain Says:

    Happy anniversary, it must feel great to have come so far. I am so loveing the fish, i even tried my own version but when my kids gave me the” what is that” i thought i would leave the fishies to you. It was fun to try and even thought mine didn’t work out quite as well as yours, thank you for the inspiration i was in a rut.

  79. Julia Says:

    Would one of your fishies like to swim across the USA to live in the Pacific Northwest? I promise we’d give him or her a good home, and we’d promise to take him to see the Puget Sound on a regular basis – you know, so he wouldn’t feel homesick. Maybe we’d even send you a picture! We don’t own any cats (so he probably wouldn’t feel threatened) and we have a nice couch for him to lounge upon too.

    I’m so glad I found your blog! And you Etsy shop. All of your creations really inspire me, and I’m super inspired by how dedicated to blogging you are.

    Julia

    what can I say?
    Your fish would look perfect in my classroom, or in my bedroom or in the kids playroom.
    But I don’t mind if I just get to look at it on the internet!

    Although I am just nuts about the tatooed people – they really talk to me – I have a huge smile on my face when I see the fish. I can imagine holding him in my arms! I so enjoy being on the distribution and seeing Doll in my email box – it’s the first message I open.
