Big fat nothin'

Elephants still naked?
yep!

Dollies still disjointed in plastic bags?
yep.

disembodied softie heads still impaled on knitting needles ?

yep.
That's right - nothing to see here folks, move along - nothing to see.

It reminds me more of Seinfeld.. the show about nothing :)

One Flew Over said...

You crack me up...especially the softies on needles. Priceless

Andi said...

That last shot is rather macabre!
But that's why we love you Jodie.
Your hysterically black sense of homour.
Andi :-)

PaisleyJade said...

Sounds so much like my life at the moment..

Michelle said...

and really the elephants may catch a cold...all naked and all...
there really is a nasty cold going around...maybe elephants can catch swine flu too?

Bec said...

Sarah said...

CurlyPops said...

Damn that lurgy! It's interrupting the show.

Michelle said...

Love the last shot of all the disembodied heads.

Polka Dot Daze said...

LOL - Made me smile :)
If you are up for a swap check out my blog - would love to have you join along.

beck said...

There's simething very spooky going on at your place...those fleshy limbs (?) in plastic were particularly unnerving. As for those impaled heads...hmmm.
On a different note I am SO sorry to have missed you at the market the other day, what a bummer! Hope you had a fun day and hopefully we will cross paths another time x

Jackie said...

Hmmmmm... naked elephants on a sewing machine?!? There's a site that is not seen very often.

Moogsmum said...

Ha - call that nothing?! At least you have heads on your knitting sticks! Mine are bare. Nor do I have bags of arms and legs to show for my nothingness or indeed a naked pachyderm.

You'll have to try harder than that if you want to impress us with your inactivity ;-)

Kim said...

Your sense of humor made me laugh. Thank you for the smile. I often feel like I'm accomplishing nothing or at least very little. Here's wishing for a productive week for you.

Yours Truly said...

The elephants are so cute.

Anonymous said...

Lucy Locket-Pocket said...

Dolly limbs in plastic bags?

Next we'll be seeing whole bodies wrapped up in bits of carpet and dumped by the side of the road!

Don't go there Jodie!

Jenny said...

Get well Jodie-hope you get your mojo back real soon

Nikki @ My Black Cardigan said...

I love MIchelle's comment - CSI Softie. Very funny.

Given the state of your craft.... I'm scared to ask... where are your children!

Cass said...

Those heads are kind of freaking me out

Kerryanne English said...

tsk... tsk.... Miss Jodie.
Pavlova is peeking over my shoulder and is shaking her head in disbelief - where are their clothes????

You must have had a great long weekend Jodie. Hopefully you will make it back to the craft room this week.
Hugs ~ Kerryanne

Affordable homes said...

felt sorry for the disembodied heads.

ladydi said...

Oh, Miss Jodie, even when you're not feeling well you make us laugh. I hope you're on the mend - the elephants look a bit embarrassed being naked and all.

Bernadette said...

love love love the green quilt! Still sulking about Sewjourn but got over it a bit being in NZ. Leaving Christchurch in the morning for home unfortunately. I think the max in Queenstown was about 5 so home is going to be warm!! Hope this doesn't mean you have been sick...just taking a blogging break?

our shabby cottage said...

That happens when you're a sicko....Are you any better?

sewkalico said...

LOL!!! You are a hoot, besides elephants don't really wear clothes at least not in Africa where I come from!!!

Sew Useful Designs said...

Jodie - you should be on stage! I would pay to watch your show! LOL... even your blog titles make me laugh, because I know there's going to be a punchline to follow.

You're a crack up!

I mean that in the nicest possible way... moving along...

Vikki :-)

Stomper Girl said...

Geez Jodie, it's bloody freezing in Victoria at the moment would ya get those poor nekkid elephants a blanket at least?

calicodaisy said...

Except it's kind of frightening to see all those unattached body parts -- there's something to see!

fiberdoodles said...

They're still cute whether they are unfinished, naked or disjointed! You are too funny!

Sharon

jacquie said...

big fat nothing at my place too...except photos of boxes, half unpacked don't make cute pictures.

Jelly Wares said...

Everything sure does look super cute...
There's nothing wrong with a bit of nothingness every now and then... *^_^*

Take Care
Jodie :)

Sarah said...

It's the softie house of horrors!

amandajean said...

the elephants are do darn cute. and i love your use of knitting needles. gory and good all at once. :)

sue said...

Hi Jodie, love those naked elephants. Are they a new pattern of yours. I would love to buy one if you sell them, so adorable. As for the disembodied ones, well I hope they can be brought to life soon.

Christine said...

The elephants might be naked but they look FANTASTIC. Hope you are feeling better.

Sharon said...

Personally I love naked elephants!

Bec @ honi design said...

Oh, I HAVE to show this to the husbie. He thinks that I am the ONLY person in the world that have multiple unfinished projects around the house!!!

The elephants look gorgeous - specially the little one who's looking right at the camera

Liesl (Hoppo Bumpo) said...

I am enjoying catching up on all my blog reading here - this one's a goodie. Though I do have to say the last photo is a bit gruesome in a Middle Ages off-with-their-heads-and-stick-em-on-stakes kind of way. Let that be a warning to all the other softies.

Hope you are feeling better!

Leanne said...

That impaled softies photo is very disturbing.

thea said...

my mom just sent me the link to your site, and I'm nearly having a panic attack from craft excitement!!
LOVE what you make! completely magic!

thea.
