mostly about ghosts and zombies
Today, I hit 400 sales on Etsy! I wanted to make 400 sales by the end of May, so the goal was met a little early. And the best thing, sale number 400 was for a pair of "Sometimes I Worry about Zombies" underwear!
This makes me the etsy featured seller for today!
The post office clerk said to me yesterday, "You are doing well," as I put 8 packages up on the counter. I try to avoid this conversation by helping Ani put her sun hat back on.
"8 packages today and 10 a few days ago," she says.
I know that she is going to want to know what is in them. And I dread this.
"I am doing ok," I say.
"Very good, I think," she says.
She really wants to know what is in the packages. "You are in here twice a week with this many packages," she says.
"Putting alot out into the world," she says.
"I silk screen t-shirts," I say. She is surprised by this.
"Mostly about, um... ghosts and zombies," I say.
"Mostly about ghosts and zombies?" she repeats with a question.
Yep.

Our seasonal allergies have turned into bad asthma attacks. I never even thought about this, but here we are. So now, asthma meds have been added to our day, which makes certain little girls a little more wild than usual. Ani hasn't felt well, so hasn't been eating much. A weigh in at the doctor this week shows that Ani is 24 pounds and 2 ounces while Rachi is 24 pounds even. The near same weight is making Ani look a lot like Rachi.
Here are the girls in the garden, pretending to be in a boat:
I love the dress with pants look. Tie dye dress was a gift from blog reader, Pagan Moon. She sent this a long time ago and it finally fits!

Congratulations on hitting 400! :)
And so sorry to hear about the asthma. How very scary.

Congrats on the Etsy milestone! Your products are adoreable and that's why they are selling so well!
I love seeing pictures of your girls. They are precious and it makes me really want a girl, though one sweet but energetic little boy is all I can handle for right now! But come on, there is nothing as cute as dresses with jeans that you can put on boys! :-)

Tina I totally relate to the whole conversation thing with postal workers. I do a lot of mailart and always try my best to drop them in mailboxes but one time I had to get postage on packages, mail some bills and drop off netflix so I thought one of my postcards would just get lost in the mix. But no, the postal worker had to pull it out and look at it, comment and THEN proceed to pass it to all the other people working at the counter.
I kind of like the idea of the postal workers' days being livened by some artwork that passes through their hands but I don't want to have to be present while it happens, and I don't want to have to hear they commentary on it. Now I've grown to LOVE the automatic machines.
