Hey! It’s a Giveaway!

Posted on by

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.

  4. Wow 6 years of blogging! That’s awesome! I love your dolls and find you so inspiring. Hope I win one of your fish!

  5. OMG!!! Please enter me in your generous giveaway. I would prolly pee my pants if i won a fish!
    THANKS!

  6. February is the month of the fish (Pisces) – and being a Pisces myself, I couldn’t think of a more perfect birthday present. Thanks for your generous offer and Happy Birthday to you – six years is a long time – love your work.

  7. 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. obviously you are just itching to mail a fish out of town as in over here in Canada, and it would be my pleasure to add to the shipping cost
    so…
    if you wish to wish a wish, you may swish for fish ~ as in one fish two fish red fish blue fish ooh I spy a herringbone fish!

  9. Happy Blogiversary, Mimi!

    Thanks for sharing your work with us. I always look forward to seeing the visual results of your imagination!

    May the creative muse forever whisper!

  12. I usually don’t comment, but your giveaway made me come out of lurkdom. Owning one of your fish would be great. I love your blog and I love your work. You brighten my day! Should have told you sooner.

  14. 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. 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!
    If wishes were fishes … thanks for sharing your wonderful work!

  21. Happy Blogiversary, or as we say in Holland gefeliciflapstaart! I never before entered a giveaway but this one is not to be missed.

  24. I hope I win because I think these are adorable, and it would find a very happy home here in the Pacific Northwest! Happy Blogiversary!

  25. Six years – Awesome! Happy Blog Birthday! I’m from the “land of 10,000 lakes” and fish are way cool. Fiber fish are even better…love your fish!

  27. Congrats on the blog birthday!!!

    I LOVE the fish and would love to see one on my bed or couch! lol We are Alaskans stuck in Texas so the fish would fit in our hosue just perfect! Thanks for the chance to win one!

  28. I think I’ve been reading your blog for four years! Yowza. Thank you for providing me with inspiration and guidance over the inter-waves of the web. Much appreciated.

  29. 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.

  31. Those fish are outstanding ~ just grand! I love that they are a BIG huggable size! Great giveaway ~ I hope to be lucky!

  34. Happy Blog Birthday Mimi, I love your work, and have enjoyed seeing how it progresses through the years. Thanks for the faithful postings and I look forward to many more!

  35. What an extraordinary giveaway! I love, love, love your work — all of it — it would be wonderful to have one of your fish to call my own.

  38. Mimi, I am so glad my sister (Amy, Life in the Lyons Den) introduced me to your work. I would love to win one of these fabulous fish.

  39. I love those fish Mimi. The striped wool fish look like they are wearing sweaters. I want the pattern when it is ready.

  40. Wish I was close enough for the meet and greet. California is just too far away. Happy blog birthday! You are quite inspiring- I can’t tell you how much enjoyment I get out of following your projects! I’d love to win a fish.

  41. Happy Anniversary! My favorite picture of the fish was the one of the pile of them in the chair. That made me laugh. I always enjoy seeing your work. Thanks for the chance to win one of your wonderful fish.

  42. I would be so happy to have one of your awesome pieces. I’m very good with fish…I once had a goldfish for over seven years so you can bet I’d take very good care of one of your beautiful fish!

  44. I am good at fishing…sometimes….I would love to have one of your piece…..those fish are making my kids dreaming…alittle more…. from this side of the world !!!!

  45. Happy Blog Birthday! I love your work and would enjoy owning an original! I thought your tattoo dolls were great. What a wonderful imagination you have! And now you’ve reinvented the fish. I wonder what you’ll thu k of next. I can hardly wait to see!!

  48. Happy Blogday!!

    I would love a fish!!! Either way, I will be buying a pattern. With a family of commercial fisherman, I have a feeling that I couldn’t make enough for them!

    But, most of all Happy Blogday…I’ve been with you for about 3 years now – mostly a lurker, sometimes an occasional commenter

  50. 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!!
