OK, so our 2nd Anniversary was actually on May 20th but that was my first day back from Portland so I don't think I was in any shape or mood to do much but sleep. So, here we are... better late than never, eh?I have decided to celebrate our 2nd Anniversary by having a HUGE SALE on our Etsy store. I just finished listing several ready-made items and I have priced them really low. But the catch is that once they're gone, they're gone and there's only 1 of each design in small & large sizes.
As of right now, I have 92 sales on Etsy and I've been told that hitting your 100th sale is a big deal over there, so what I am gonna do is reward the buyer of my 100th item with a special matching surprise item. Since I don't
know which will be my 100th item sold, this surprise item will be custom-made after the sale, so please allow an extra couple days for completion. :)And since I am feeling happy & generous, I will also reward one lucky blog reader with a surprise package in the mail from moi. Since I know some of you don't have small children (or girls), I will give the lucky winner their choice of: a sewing/crafting care package from my extensive collection of fabric/notions OR a custom-made MODKID surprise item.
All you have to do is leave a comment below this post and let me know what your plans are for this Summer. Are you traveling, hanging out at home, taking on a new project, learning a new skill, sleeping a lot??? Tell me, tell me, tell me.
I will draw the winner in 1 week.
Hi there! Let me start off by saying that I've admired your work for so long. I've seen your designs first on Ebay!! So, I'm commenting on here for your "prize"..lol. Well, I do have kids (five of them), and this summer I plan on just hanging out with them and keeping them BUSY! We are a homeschooling family, so this summer is a much needed break! I don't have anything scheduled yet, but the majority of the time will be outside!! Blessings, Alicia
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your anniversary! I'll be checking out your store shortly. I plan to spend a quiet Summer at home with the kids... if you can call that quiet! hahaha

Hey Patty! Congrats on your second year! LOVE your designs!! This summer for us will be spent not only working, but ex-Dh and I are getting remarried, so we will be doing a little remodeling to our home in preparation for the kids and I to move back in. Hoping that in between we can sneak in a few trips to the beach!
ReplyDeleteHave a great summer!

Congrats on your anniversary! I discovered MODKID last March and have been hooked ever since! I am currently not working and enjoying my free time with Emma*Cakes. :) We were in Indiana last week with family and this weekend is Emma's 2nd birthday party! Busy, busy! I just had an interview this week so my time at home may be coming to an end soon! I just pulled up the Etsy store and Emma's been going Ooh, ooh, aww over the skirts. lol I really want to get her the set so if its still there when Jon gives the ok to spend then its ours in the 3T! Thanks for another awesome sale and blog contest. You rock!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your anniversary. Your designs are always so beautiful. This summer I plan to practice my outdoor photography and hopefully take a lot of outdoor pictures.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the opportunity to enter your blog contest.

HI, I'm new to your blog and I'm thinking we must be kindred seamstresses (Smith's, The Cure)So here are my summer plans- Sleeping more? Yes please! Also maybe a little travel. Cleaning out the craft room and sewing (now that you've got me inspired)! Thanks for the opportunity.
ReplyDeleteI love your blog and your designs. My 3 grandgirls would love anything you make.
ReplyDeleteOops, forgot to tell my summer plans. We plan to camp and hangout more with the grandkids this summer. We live near Seattle and are just praying for some summer like weather to arrive.
ReplyDeleteOnly two years, it seems I have been following your career/designs forever. Such great work, congrats Patty.
ReplyDeleteThis summer has already flown past. I leave Sunday to counsel at a church camp (120 teenagers)this is my 8th year counseling. Then 4th of July, hometown festival, camping. Oh yeah, I am also taking a summer college course.
I love your designs! I feel very blessed that I will get to spend almost a month in Florida between July/August and then my husband and I are off to Antigua for a surprise trip that he doesn't know about in September!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your summer!
Happy Anniversary! This summer I am determined to start a scrapbook of my daughter's princess adventures.
ReplyDeleteWow...2yrs already? Congrats, I discovered you about 1 yr ago & now with the blog...I check it at least every other day!:) I don't have much plans for the Summer but I do want to spend alot of time with my 2 kids...whether it's just hanging out at home or going to the movies, swimming, park, zoo, etc...

Thank you to all who have commented and shared your Summer plans so far! It has been so much fun to read them all. It's so nice to see some new faces accompanied by old friends. Welcome all!
ReplyDeleteHappy anniversary! I've been following your work almost from the beginning & just love what you do - such great color combos and fun designs! My summer is pretty packed with grad school classes, full time work, shuffling little girl to montessori school and less little girl to various art, gymnastics, & church camps. And of course, sewing & designing whenever (and where ever!) I can fit it in!
ReplyDeleteThanks for being such an ispiration!

Hmmm this summer I am hoping to sew a lot and spend time around home. With the cost of everything going up we are planning to do a lot more in the local area. Oh and strawberry picking there must be strawberry picking!

New to your blog, but winning would make my day. I will be spending as much time indulging my only little one in whatever she wants mama to do with her because she has a new little sister coming at Christmas!
ReplyDeleteWe're going to rent a cabin in Gatlinburg for a few days at the end of the month. We've never been there, but were looking for a place with activities for our kids who range in age from 3 months to 15.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the ceviche instructions. My husband's been asking me to make it and I was a bit intimidated, but I think I will try it now. Thanks for the inspiration!
Hello Patty! Congrats on your 2nd anniversary!! I'm so glad to see you being so successful over the past year, so happy for you too! Kyle is going to Kindergarten in the fall and Ava is 90% potty trained!! Nothing big or special has been planned for the summer yet, but you know, with 2 little ones around, everyday is special and fun!! Congratulations again! You ROCK, girl!! Have a great summer!!

Wow congratulations on 2 years. You have come a long way in a short time. I am hopping over to etsy now to see what is left. ;)
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the aniversary! I just wandered over here from JCaroline. What a cute shop you have! Plans for the summer...well, I just finished one of them, which was a long overdue painting of our bedroom. Other plans include gardening, hopefully camping and lots of catching up with sewing.

Patty, I cannot think of anyone else who has earned their success more!
ReplyDeleteThis summer we are doing a big, fat NOTHING! Lol! I may take the kids to an amusement park or something but with gas prices so high, we most likely will just be hanging out at home and at the beach :)
Angie
we're playing ball, playing ball and playing ball. All 3 kiddos are on teams and so we have practices, league games and weekend tournaments. We love it! We'll work in a couple of camps, a couple of trips back home to KS, and a little time of sorting through drawers, cabinets, under beds, etc......so we can repaint their rooms.
ReplyDeleteFUN! FUN!! FUN!!!
P
Woohoo!!! on reaching the 2 year mark! It is only the beginning for you my dear, you are going to go great & far.

Happy 2nd Birthday to your blog! Our summer includes a trip to Colorado for the week of July 4 and then my kids' school is on a year 'round calendar, so they'll be starting back up on 7/14. It actually has been nice - 3 weeks off in the fall, 2 weeks at Christmas, 2 in the spring and 7 for summer. We went to Flagstaff last weekend for my cousin's wedding, so the kids are getting used to road trips.
ReplyDeleteWe are headed to Telluride for the 4th. We are so excited since it's over 110 degrees here. I am planning on knitting more but haven't had the time. In July I should be free to do a lot more. I also just reserved a lot of Photoshop books at the library to pick up some new skills. I just got my Nikon D300 and having a blast with it.
ReplyDeleteI love your work. I have 3 girls and they love when I knit their hats. Thanks for your inspiration!
Happy anniversary. I love your blog. This summer I am trying to keep my 4 kids busy and improve my sewing skills! The longer daylight hours seem to work in my favor.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on Two Years! I've not been reading quite that long, but have enjoyed the inspiration! :)
ReplyDeleteThis summer, I plan to enjoy our backyard with my five children. I want to cook with them (a different supper "helper" each evening) and encourage their creativity with craft/sewing projects of their choosing.
And, I hope, once everyone is down for the night, to spend a little time on my own projects, mainly quilting.
Here's to summer! Blessings!
