giveaway and internship

Posted on by

Everything I am working on needs blue lately. I did a morning of dyeing when the weather was truely miserable, one day last week.

My birthday is coming up at the end of the week- Saturday. So…. I had so much fun last year, I decided to do another birthday giveaway. Just leave me a Happy Birthday on any of the posts between now and Saturday and you are entered. I am not going to make it hard for anybody.

I made this needlebook for the prize-

Actually, I turned a piece of applique that I’d already done into a needlebook. I might find some other prizes before Saturday. If I do, I’ll post them.

Another bit of business- I am looking for an intern if there is anybody in the Boston area who might be interested. I have contacted MassArt, but figured I mention it here too. Email me if you are interested- mimik(at)pobox(dot)com.

  2. Dear Mimi – Have a wonderful birthday! I do love your dolls and enjoy your blog. I’d love to enter your birthday draw (though understand if my being in New Zealand precludes me.)

  3. love your blog – your work is wonderful. I didn’t realize you dyed the material as well. Fun to do in small quantities at your leasure but not when you have to I am sure. Beautiful needlecase – please pick me!

  15. Hi Mimi
    Happy Birthday! I saw that you were in Chicago again awhile back and visited the Tony Fitzpatrick exhibit at the Cultural Center. I missed the exhibit but went looking on the web for his work. I really liked it and am very sorry I missed seeing it in person. He has a couple books out I noticed. I have been enjoying your tatooed men and your grandmothers.

  21. Oh, Mimi, I hope that you have a wonderful birthday!!! Of course the needlebook embroidery is lovely, as are the owl and luna moth babies that you have been working on. If I didn’t have a million other responsibilities (and live in Louisiana!), I would so be applying for the job. How exciting for you! xoxo, Cathy

    More than you can imagine !
