Milestone 5,000

Woke up yesterday to a new milestone achieved--5,000 sales on Etsy! It's amazing to think that all of these 'art objects' have made their way to every state and numerous countries around the globe--literally every continent excepting of course the Antarctica. We went out to dinner to celebrate where Patrick and I toasted 'to the next 5,000' over the best margaritas The Little Apple has to offer. Thank you to each and every Sushipot patron who has been a part of growing our business--it means the world to us...literally!

Aren't Resolutions Fun?

Ok...so I know it's already the 3rd of January but I had made a few resolutions for the year (mostly business related) and decided I'd better share them publicly to keep my butt on track!

1. Make a Kiva loan to a fellow artisan on the first day of every month for 12 months. I set up my account on January 1st and have made my first loan.
   
2. Get Sushipot more involved via social media. I've set up a Twitter account (yay!). You can now follow or tweet me @SushipotArt. Next up Tumblr and maybe (??) Facebook.
   
3. Do my very best to use this every day. I remembered on the 30th and 31st of December but forgot on the 1st and remembered again yesterday.
   

As you can see I'm on track with number 1 and 2 but that 3rd one will most likely die an early death. Aren't resolutions fun?
