Here are some (estimated) statistics:
- Year I first started obsessing about Etsy: 2010
- Hours per week I spend browsing Etsy: 20
- Hours per week I spend writing Etsomnia: 7
- Average number of Etsy-related posts I write per month: 10
In other words, I’ve spent approximately 7,000 hours on Etsy. Personally, I think that number looks a little low, but I digress.
In all my thousands of hours on Etsy, and in spite of all the stellar Etsy sellers I’ve profiled, I’ve never, ever come across something this fantastic. Are you ready? Continue reading
Etsomnia™ 94: Rainbows and Peace
It’s not that I don’t find it hilarious (I do) or that the makers aren’t in on the joke (They are). It’s that I’ve reached an age where people might think I’m serious. By GoodieTees

Etsomnia™ Volume 89: Bringing Up Baby
Story time: My daughter once loaded up her diaper so enthusiastically, poop shot up her back and bounced off her head. Mercifully, the cleanup is a blur (at one point we were both in the bathtub crying), but I’m sure I didn’t stop to shape the stuff into bunny ears.
