Well hello my bloggy chums and how are we all? Ticketyboo and hunkydory in equal measure I hope and may I say you are looking particularly splendiferous!



Right I'm straight in with the giveaway today!
A while back I started a project involving budgies and cushion covers...(the mind boggles dunnit?!)...and came up with this fella


He's hand painted and surrounded by a machine stitched "cage" and swathe of flowers, hand stitched in pinks, reds and oranges with sequin flowers and glass beads and metallic glitter paint extra for bling power and even has a jingly bell to keep him amused


He's hanging with his hand stitched homies and their cages and could be adorning your sofa in 2 weeks time!


To be in with a chance of winning just leave a comment below on what your favourite item in my Etsy shop is.
I'll give extra entries - one each for:

Comments close on the 19th March 2011 so approx 2 weeks Mimi-Time and so I don't get any moaning for interupting Mr.Mimi's nap time, I will choose the winner via Random.org

Winner will be announced on 20th March 2011 and I will post as soon as I have your details. I will post internationally too cos I'm lovely like that x;0)

Big loves to you all my homies!

Mimi, he is just so gorgeous. Love the colours and lines, yum! Can he come to Sweden to live with me? I'm a follower of your blog + flickr of course, you're on my link love list and in your etsy shop I dig EVERYTHING, hehe. though I think I would choose one of the sparrow pillows, they are so cute!

take care!
A big howdy from Dallas! I've followed your Flickr and Etsy shop for ages and am such a fan. I'm partial to your pets and lyrics pieces. Right now, I think my favorite Etsy look is your Donny Osmond dachshund. Poppies, dachy, and Donnie- makes the little girl of the 70's still hiding inside of me smile!

Cheers!

"Flowery Budgie" makes me sigh with happiness. Tiny bell, sweet flowers, and bird most blue.

I 'like' you on Facebook, and follow your blog.

I'm a fan of all your work, but if pressed to say which is my favourite, it'd have to be the cockney sparrows, er or the budgies, or Gnorman.
Giggly said…
Is it unfair to say they are all my favorite? :) XOXOXOX
Jo said…
Oh, Mimi! This darling would look so good in my art room! I want it. I am also a follower of your blog, you know. So put me in there twice. And for the record, I think my fave in the shop right now is the Beaded Budgie. I have a soft spot for those guys.
Elsa said…
Well, it was a very hard choice, but loved the postcard of the mouse, mostly because of the poem and getting his arse spanked! very sweet! and I do love all the birds and everything else too.
Elsa said…
oh, and I'm following you now and like you on facebook too!
Carina said…
Oh Ms Mimi, you know I love your gnome fella. Oh yes.

..and I follow you everywhere I can, like a good little stalker. I mean, fan. ;-)

Please impress on Mr Random that I am ill and could really need a pick-me-up. Not pathetic at all, me. ;-)
I didn't even know you had a facebook page, dearie, or I would have loved it long ago. So that's done!

My favorite thing in the shop (at the moment) is the grumpy budgie, and since today is my birthday, I just went ahead and bought it!

It would be lovely to have a more cheerful companion piece ^_~.
Jo Ashcroft said…
Hey Mimi, I follow your blog and LOVE you on Facebook! I also spend tonnes of time on Flickr loving your work there too!
My fave thing on etsy is Flea ( of course coz it has Zebedee on it) though I equally love the GArfield one too!!
Sigh...one day I will win a giveaway
Lisa said…

Big love all the way from California! I'm following you here there and everywhere, is that creepy? Right!

So gorgeous! Of the designs on Etsy I'm in love with the Laughing Budgie and also adore the "Please don't eat the daisies' cow, though I don't think she's for sale.
They're all amazing though!

awesome giveaway!
the bunny rabbit postcard is too cute to not frame!
i've been following your blog for a bit now :)
Hi ... I'm here! Over here! (waving). Well, I really love "glittering budgie" because it reminds me of our childhood budgie that sat on the top of the mirror and loved looking at himself and telling himself what a good looker he was!

I'm following on your blog and facebook and will blab about your giveaway next time I'm posting on my blog or twitter

We've got the funeral tomorrow so won't be around for a few days

Good luck with your paper stitchin'

You can do it!

Tyggereye said…
Ooh lovely!! A giveaway so much fun! I am following you on facebook now, follow your blog, and of course already did on flickr. This is such a lovely pillow. Ooh who ever wins it is going to be so psyched!! I would be. ;)
Tyggereye said…
Oops forgot to add my fav in your Etsy is the pug dog canvas painting. SO great!!! Pug who woulda thought I'd pick that?? hehe
Unknown said…
Your bunny postcard has just the sweetest little nose. Thanks for being so generous, I would take very good care of your darling budgie too.
olisa said…
Your work is so fresh and beautiful and totally unlike anything else, I'm not sure how I can choose one item in you etsy shop. Everything is so lovely!! I especially like the Carmen Miranda British Bulldog portrait. But Shazam, I also love your sleeping gnome. I follow your blog and every so sweetly stalk you online... Peace, doll!
Kate Danley said…
HOW DO YOU EXPECT US TO CHOOSE A FAVORITE?!?! This is like Sophie's Choice. But prettier. I luuuurve your budgie stuff, but I'm a sucker for those feathery little beasties. I also ADORE your gnome pieces. Gnomes hit their stride when I was a kid and hold a special little place in my heard.
andrea said…
oops-i don't think my comment went through-
