The frock has been included in the 2009 Whip-up calendar.
(How awesome is this guy on the cover?)
Little did I know how deliciously gorgeous this calendar was going to look, or how amazing (and scarily talented) the other projects and contributors are.
I feel so honoured (and a bit of a fraud) to be included with such people to be honest. I nearly died as I flicked through the preview and realised I was in a calendar with Mimi Kirchner - Mimi is my total crafting goddess, the person I most want to be able to craft like one day. Her recent sad girl and boy with the black eye have left little haunting ghosts in my craft psyche-they are so beautiful. Her beautiful biker/pirate is Mr April.
The calendar is available from Redbubble and given the shocking value of the Australian dollar these days you international folk could probably just send us some beads and mirrors and get yourself a copy.
It's a great way of supporting Whip-Up and saying thanks for all the support they give to both blogland and crafters of all persuasions. I have ordered my (and my mums Christmas present )copy already so once it is here in the flesh I'll let you know!
Thanks Kathreen for inviting me to join in, and as ever, thankyou to Whip-up for all the support they give to all us crafters.
AYKM???? I'm betting they are honored to be included with YOU! YOU are my crafting goddess and I want to be like you when I grow up.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!!!
OMG, the Crazy Selvedge Freak Woman is published!! How absolutely fitting for The Frock to be in this showcase of such amazing talent. I'll be owning a copy just so I can say, 'see i 'know' that artist who created that work'!.
ReplyDeleteCongrats and can't wait to see the whole thing.

Congratulations Jodie! It's such a stunner and a true work of art.
ReplyDeleteHow cool are you!! Very nice. I'm sure they are all honored to share calendar space with the amazing Jodie.
ReplyDeleteOh Geesh! Now I am totally blushing as I read this! You, with the 50 comments on every post ;-)
ReplyDeleteAnyway- I am thrilled to be part of this project too- and for all the same reasons as you!
I absolutely don't tink you should be feeling a fraud. I was coming home from the quilt shop yesterday with my two tiny pieces of material and wondered to myself whether I should start collecting selvedges and where do you (ric-rac) get so much from, etc. I decided it wasn't worth it for me as I already have too much of a mess and anyway I could never come up with such beauties as you do. In the end I decided that your pieces, especially THAT dress are museum worthy and I might actually be encroaching on your artistic license - a bit like copying Picasso or Rembrandt. So ther you have it. You have created a masterpiece and are not a fraud at all. Cherrie
ReplyDeleteCongratu-bladdy-lations!! You're a calendar girl now!!!
ReplyDeleteHow awesome for you!! And well deserved I might add. Your frock was absolutely gorgeous and you should be proud.
ReplyDeleteWhat a thrill! Congratulations. That dress is a stunner, just amazing. The calender looks great.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Jodie!! You deserve to be there, you're a creative genius and I have loved your stuff since the day I first bloghopped here. If I get a copy will you sign it for me?
ReplyDeleteI could have a shrine to you on my office desk!!Hee! Hee!
Well done Jodie
ReplyDeleteBIG congrats & so you should be published you crazy crafty lady!
ReplyDeletethat is such wonderful news Jodie! congratulations!!!!
ReplyDeleteOh Hoorah, I think perhaps for 2010 you could do a selvedge bikini for Pam Anderson or such and then perhaps you could have two calander appearences at once.
ReplyDeleteThat dress was devine, congratulations on well deserved recognition.
That's a beautiful calendar - congratulations on being featured! Your selvedge frock was one of the most innovative projects I have ever seen.
ReplyDeleteThree cheers for you Jod.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to get one for sure. And of course they wanted your fabulous your frock!
ReplyDeleteI hope the picture isn't the last one you took!
ReplyDeleteWell done Jodie, it's very well deserved. However, now you will need to celebrate... lunch out, bottle of wine, possibly get the 'kid' to wear the dress so others can admire her in it?
How cool are you!? Congratulations! The only thing that surprises me, is that you have not been published before....?! You are the queen of craftiness!
ReplyDeleteI'm right there with you - one day someone is going to find out just how big a fraud you are. And then they are going to come take your sewing machine away and everything and all you will have left are those little boys in a box and some selvedge scraps and wondering why a life of crime just doesn't pay.
ReplyDeleteBut make sure they keep the dress until after my wedding ;-)
no fraud here my dear!
ReplyDeleteyou are the real thing!
congratulations!
How exciting!!! I always knew you were destined for great things!
ReplyDeleteAlso just be thankful you weren't asked to pose for a naked crafty bloggers calendar!!

Congratulations on being included in Whip-Up. From looking at your blog, it is a well-deserved honor! Keep up the good work! I love your selvage projects. I'm been saving mine during 14 years of quilting, and keep thinking I'll make something--one of these days! I actually have them sorted by color! LOL

P.S. in order to win the lotto and bring everyone over to visit you, do you think it would help if I bought a ticket???
that's awesome.
ReplyDelete:D
Go Jodie, How fab.That dress should go in the Victorian Craft Hall of Fame!!!
ReplyDeleteWell done you! And dont put yourself down - I look at what I achieve and think I am a fraud! LOL
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! You are a well-deserved inclusion!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! I hope they send you some free copies as well, a calender girl shouldn't have to pay! :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats! I can't wait to check out the calendar. Whip is one of my favorite sites.
ReplyDeleteWell done Jodie on the calendar. Your work is gorgeous, Keep on creating!
ReplyDeleteI love your snail.
Warmly Lenna
I think a standing ovation is in order! BRAVO and three cheers!!!!
ReplyDeleteYou are no fraud, my dear Jodie. You are one of the most honest and kind people I have ever known and one of my favourite people to be blessed with knowing. Well deserved hugs and kisses to you. xox
Goodness isn't that wonderful. You needed to be there last night to hear Amy Butler speak - we all think we're frauds! You are so innovative and interesting when it comes to crafting and creating - and we love it all!!
ReplyDeleteSo very exciting, and well deserved. I will want it to be January all year.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Jodie...how cool!! now your in print and famous!! Cathy
