About Me
- Jodie
- Hi, I am Jodie Carleton. I started this blog in 2007 and somehow a tiny business grew from it. So now when I am not at my regular job I can be found happily making toys in my sewing room or swearing at the computer as I try and write the patterns. I am obsessed with foxes, pinnochio, Red Riding Hood and mechanical toys- actually pretty much any toys. Say Hi if you have time, feel free to email me with any questions you have, I'm always happy to procrastinate by answering emails.

And how old was Spock? You are but a babe in comparison. Go for it.
signed, Spock's great aunt.
Happy birthday! Hope it's a great one.
Happy birthday Jodie! And about that question: Too old? I'd say you are finally old enough to wear those spock ears to work ;-)
Oh, happy birthday. Never too old for spock ears. Could be too young though - you know, they could suffocate babies, that sort of thing!
It's my birthday tomorrow. Seems lots of nutters are born in late July ;.P
Happy 40th Jodie. Hope you have a fantastic birthday. Welcome to the 40's club too, it isnt too bad you know.
Happy 40th Birthday awesome lady!! Still young enough to wear what you want, 40 is the new 30! Have a good one xox
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I had to shout, I am all the way over in Engerland, you know.
Happy 40th Birthday..........can't wait til we celebrate together........wear the spock ears and make sure Annie gets a pic......have a great day..........
I'm two years of turning 40 and I'm still asking the big questions, like 'should I have children'??!! Eek!
Wear spock ears to work, YES I think you should!! : )
Happy Birthday!!!!!!!!!
xx
Oh YAY! Happy Birthday to you Jodie! May it be an excellent 40th. And yes, go Spock!
God, no. Apparently the older you get, the more eccentric (Spocky) you're allowed to be. So says my 88 year old granny - so it's gotta be true.
Happy Birthday Jodie!!! I'm singing - can you hear me???? You can't? What a blessing for you!!!
The spock ears are great! Much more flattering than a Klingon-forehead, I find! :-)
Have a great birthday sweetheart!
Hugs!!!
Vikki xoxo
wow Jodie! My daughter's b'day is today too! Happy birthday, hope you've had a great day!
Hang on - too speedy for myself - HAPPY BIRTHDAY MRS!
Yah! Happy Birthday Jodie....and I double dare you to do it.. hee hee
Happy Birthday Jodie. Hell no, you are only as old as your spock ears so you're never too old to wear them to work!
GINORMOUS Happy Birthday Jodie!
But fancy calling it 40! Honestly woman! Haven't you heard the recent Thirty-Ten (Rosalie Quinlan) and Twenty-Twenty (Jo in Tas) - much nicer sounding!
Hope you have the most amazing time and enjoy wearing your Spock Ears!
Lots of love, Locket xxx
Jodie, Jodie, Jodie!
Happy Birthday!
... from a forty-five year old... sigh! May you, er, live long and prosper... and the same to the Spock ears too!
And there I was thinking you were a Jodie Knight! May the Farce be with you!
To my dear friend - Happy Birthday _ wondering if you DID wear those Spock ears, would have been very appropriate - sorry to miss your special day Oink Oink
Happy birthday!
happy birthday to one of the world's great thinkers!!!
you go for it girl, I like Rosalie Quinlan;s interpretation, 30ten, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Go on, wear the spock ears ... unless the kids hide them before you get out the door. Happy 40th Birthday Jod from all of us xx
Happy birthday Jodie, hope you have/had a wonderful day. Great ears, dare you to wear them in the liberry - the kids will love them.
Oh you spring chicken you....
I will rewind and be 40 with you again...
and no you are never too old...you
trekkie you...
Happy Birthday Jodie...Have a great one...
No!! You are never too old for such things. Crazy glasses with googly eyes are good for wearing in the car too. Casually turn your head and smile at people at the lights. Trust me, it's a blast. Hope your birthday is too!xo
lordy no! except if you work where I do and you just can't wear that sort of thing at all....
happy birthday and welcome to the freedoms and unexpected delights of the middle years!
You can never be too old for that! Happy Birthday.
Wear what you want, just make sure you don't skimp on the cake! Chocolate, of course. Happy 40th to you, and may the next forty be even more fun. :>}
Happy Birthday! I think 40 gives you the excuse to wear spock ears to work. :o) I'm wondering what is appropriate for turning 50! I'm looking that number straight in the eyes!!!
No way! All the more reason to wear them I'd say!!
No way...40 is the new 30 x Happy Birthday x
I think once you have turned 40 you are old enough not to have to ask others for their opinion!!
Hope you had a wonderful day and the bestest birthday ever - you really are a spring chicken you know!!!!
xxx
Never! Happy Birthday! You know what they say about turning 40 !
Happy 40th you young thing you!! Hope you had a super fun day in your spock ears! xx
you are only as old as you feel, or as young as the man you are feeling, or something like that! Happy birthday xx
Never! Live long and prosper.
40? No, 40's the new 20. Get those ears on ;)
Hi Jodie...
Happy happy Birthday!!
Wear whatever ears you like girl... You deserve it!!
Thanks again for the laugh, even if it was a serious question...lol
Hope you had a wonderful day!!
hugs Robyn xx
Happy 40th Birthday, Jodie! Welcome to the 40 and over club! When you reach this age you just must wear your Spock ears!
Yay, I was the 40th comment on your 40th birthday.
Sure you can wear the Spock ears, tell everyone they're "Vintage" and you'll be totally in vogue LOL.
Happy Birthday Jodie, hope it was fabulous!!!!!
happy birthday jodie hope you had a great day. 40 is not too old for anything ESPECIALLY wearing Spock ears
Have a very happy birthday Jodie,
No you are never to old to wear Spock ears!
Live long and Prosper
If you can't wear Spock Ears at 40 when can you wear them???? Go for it Birthday Girl. Hope you had a fabulous birthday.
I'm turning 40 in a couple of months, and I want to borrow those ears!
Happy birthday, dear girl!
Well, if you wear your Spock ears you'll have to 'do' your eyebrows too...
Live long and prosper...
Happy Birthday!!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JODIE, you gorgeous girl!! I say have as many childish regressions as you like, it's your birthday after all.
Happy Birthday Jodie, I'm older than you so I think you can definitely wear the ears but I don't think I could!
Never, Nemoy is still wearing the eyes and he is in his 70's!! If not 80's!! hahaha!! Happy 40th!!
"We don't stop playing because we get old, we get old because we stop playing!"
ears...sorry!
Happy birthday!!!
At 45, I have not yet stopped wearing my (sparkly, because I'm that kind of girl) spock ears to work, or anywhere else.
We're young and happy and living our life to its fullest. :)
happy birthday! go ahead and wear the ears... i wore snakes in my hair to work once and my boss took me out for lunch that day. i don't think he expected the snakes when he planned it... :)
Ah 40 ... I can confidently say that its life Jim, but not as you know it. Apparently short skirts and sparkly eye makeup are no-nos, but Spock ears are fine!
Wishing you a very happy and special birthday, Jodie.
Liesl xx
Love the Spock Ears! It was lovely to catch up with you last weekend. Remember.... 40 is the new 30. xxx
Live Long and Prosper... er Happy Birthday!!!!!!!!!!... you are never too old to wear spock ears....Vulcan is the new black you know!
HEHEHE... Happy Birthday. I love the way you look at things :-)
Happy Happy Day... did you wear them then??!
Never!! Happy Birthday! :)
Happy Birthday! What a neat hat!
Micki
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR RICRAC,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!
Hope you have an awesome birthday and wear your spock ears with pride!!!
Happy Birthday. Have a wonderful day. Your spock ears will go with any outfit.
Heck, I'm well over 50 and I still wear my Star Trek watch(es). And today I'm wearing the earrings DH purchased for me made of fused glass (the stuff they use in astronaut's helmets) ;-)
So - I'd say - happy birthday - and keep on doing what you love!
Happy Birthday...you're only thirty ten or twenty twenty to look at it differently...enjoy your day....and wear those Spock ears!
cheers Julz
Happy Birthday!!!!! :o)
Well, Spock wore them into his triple figures and I think you should too!
Happy birthday.
Happy birthday, Jodie. Have a great day and you could wear the ears, for sure! Just take heart, you are not as old as me!!!! Love your softies too.
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY JODIE" you are only as old as you feel.....40's are Good.!!
Enjoy.
cheers
Happy Birthday Awesome Woman. I hope you and your spock ears had a fabulous day.
Happy Birthday!! Hope you did wear the spock ears!!
You should wear them. All the better to hear those birthday wishes with!
(I only hope with ears like that, that you don't hear something you shouldn't!)
Happy 40th Ms Ric Rac xxx
Hope you have the best birthday ever.Life begins at forty WOO HOO.
Hugs Mary.
Happy Birthday!
I think spock ears are a perfect way to celebrate.
May West once said that a women is only as old as her knees!
40 is freedom, 40 is "I'll do exactly what I want to do and wear exactly what I want to wear" 40 is always fun! trust me - I'm there!
go the spock ears - happy birthday, you are still making us all smile.
Happy Birthday my sweet friend Jod! Love the spock ears, can't wait to see more of your costumes!!
Gees I forgot Jodie - I had it on the calander and everything! Happy Birthday. And no way are you too old to wear the Spock ears.
Nahhh! Go for it. Happy birthday.
Most definitley not, in fact I think it's mandatory!!

Hippo Birdy- mine was last wed- another July baby... no never to old to be silly.
Happy Happy Birthday Jodie! You're but a youngster! And you're NEVER too old to wear spock ears to work. Ever!
Funny, funny, funny! Happy Birthday! (Maybe save the Spock ears for Bookweek Dress Up Day. Then everyone looks a bit silly. I'm deciding whether to be Alice in Wonderland or Dorothy this year. We'll see...)
Happy Birthday Happy birthday Hip Hip Hooray have a nice day.
Fairy Girl!!!!!!
xxxooo
Happy Birthday Jodie! Surely never too old? (Actually do you have to be closer to 40 than 20 to know who Spock is??!) Hope you have a great celebration. x
Never!! wear your spock ears with pride, and congrats on your 40th!!!
Happy Birthday!
ciao ciao
Forty too old to wear spock ears to work??? No way - 40 is the age you can get away with anything! Go for it I say! Happy happy birthday to you and welcome to the club!
Happy Birthday darling Jodie.
And no - one but you could wear the Spock hat with as much joy and love of life!
x
She stitched herself a crate of beers,
And donned her stylish vulcan's ears.
Hip hip hooray (or as they say in Holland hiperdeepeep ooorah!)
just a babe you are! hope it was fabulous!!!
Happy Birthday Jodie!!!
Many happy returns.
NEVER!
No!!! I'm 50 and I think I young enough to wear them. I believe your not old tell you die!!!But then it does depend on when you die. Ok that does sound a litte weird.
wear them and people will just think 'old age madness' has set in..
Lissa
who's computer is FINALLY recovered and is home from hospital!
Happy Birthday Spocky!
Forty isn't that bad, I've managed to survive the first 8 months of it!
Having already got there before you, I can tell you with great authority that 'LIFE BEGINS AT FORTY'. You gotta wear them spock ears now. Have a great 40th birthday sweet Jodie.
Hugs ~ Kerryanne
Oh, is it your birthday?? If so, Happy Birthday!!! Never too old to have fun!
Happy Birthday Sweet Cheeks!
You have to wait like everyone else for a present.... mmmmmwwwahhhhh
Happy birthday Jodie. I'm -sure- you will never be too old to wear your spock ears to work.
I just wanted to pop in to say what a pleasure it was to bump into you in Ballarat, and finally meet you in person!
Gosh look at your comments, you are a (well deserved) superstar blogger!
Happy Birthday Jodie! And, forty is when you start to be able to do what ever you want :-)
There are no rulez!!!!!Enjoy and I hope you did wear those ears to work!! Hope you had a super wonderful day and may your year ahead be fabulous:)
Definately not too old, infact I believe spock ears are compulsory (in certain galaxies anyway) Happy Birthday!!
Happy Birthday Jodie - sorry a bit slow off the mark at the moment due to the craziness of life! Hope you celebrated in style.
Apologies that I didn't get to catch up with you in Ballarat - good intentions but with 6 kids in tow it was probably never going to happen. Next time....
Oooh...a very belated but very very happy 40th Birthday to you Jodie!!!
I do hope you went with the spock ears - I'd say they're even more necessary now you're forty....and I can say that 'cos I'm in the 40+ club too :)
xxx
Hey! Me too! Snap. 40 is totally extremely very good. It is. You'll see. Happy Belated Birthday. xx
Belated Happy Birthday!! I am not quite there yet so I'm not qualified to answer that question, but I'm sure your children would know the answer ;-)
Having just encountered the big 4-0 myself last month, I must answer your question: "HELL NO!" (pardon the potty mouth). I think it's all the more reason to have fun and enjoy life for the next 40-plus years!
PS: Happy Birthday to you!
