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.

  3. I am so in love with all your dolls. I have made your little girl. I am looking forward to the fish pattern. I would love to own one. They bring back memories of fishing with my dad.

  6. Happy Anniversary! Whether I win a fish or not, I’m so glad I discovered your blog a few months ago. It is always an enriching read. :)

  9. Cheers to you, Mimi! It’s a blog birthday we share one week apart, and it’s been fun being your blogging buddy all that time.

  14. Happy Blog Birthday! I would love to win one of your fish. I am (im)patiently waiting for you to do the pattern as there are many fish lovers in my family and I think these would be great gifts to make!

  15. Happy Blog Birthday Mimi!!! I have been loving your fish. I would love to give one of them a home. I have been looking forward to the pattern but having an original Mimi would be incredible… Thanks for the opportunity.

  17. Happy Blog Birthday! Your blog is wonderful, and so is your work! I love love love my Owl Baby.

  18. Yay! I don’t usually leave comments but have enjoyed watching your work evolve and inspire for as long as I’ve known about you these past couple of years. Some day I’d love to own one of your dolls. Your talent and eye for the creative is wonderful. Have another terrific year blogging!

  24. I can’t be “koi”…I LOVE those fish! Happy Blogiversary and thank you for all the years of inspiration!

  25. Let me add my congratulations on your 6th blog anniversary! I’m so glad you have a presence on the web. Your work is pure inspiration. Thank you.

  27. Congratulations! I have been lurking on your site since the beginning! Your six blogday is probably a good time to say hello! And to let you know how much I enjoy watching you work! Keep it up!!

  28. 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.

  29. 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.

  47. Congrats on 6 years! That shows real commitment! I lurk around your blog and follow you by email because I adore your tattoo people! But the fish have really grabbed me too. I would love to win! A fish in my favorite reading/ stitching chair would make my day.
