On the very off-chance that I venture further than the sewing room for the next five weeks, Mr Gocco and I have have got the postcards totally sorted. I'll be sure to send you one!
Cool postcards! Just wanted to let you know that my neice was the lucky recipient of Pepper the Elephant - she absolutely loved it - thanks for being such a sewing genius! Nic xx
They look great Jodie. Love the red post mark. And I'm not even going to try and imagine what they are for. I will wait and watch... Just don't forget to keep me posted!
Oooh very cool ! :) Where did you buy your Gocco from - I've seen something similar in a WA art store but it wass very $$$$$- about $1000 to set up. Does it use film sheets that you expose or do you need to apply something to the screen and then expose it? I have an old-fashioned silk screen I plan to use (one day) but this looks much more user friendly!
LOVE LOVE... So gorgeous!!! I wanted to ask... Are you stocking any of your robots etc in your etsy shop? I do think they are gorgeous!!! And I love the Thaw magazine... Great read...And loved the swimwear... great pics and articles...
oh you clever thing! I'm so embarrassed to say I've used my gocco once! oh dear and I insisted on bringing it home from japan much to my husband's annoyance that it was carry on luggage!
Jodie, happy early new year, first of all (before I forget). You make such beautiful and ingenious things. I wish I commented more but am always reading your blog when the kids are all over me. It is 2 am now and finally some peace and quiet! Thank you for what you make and for sharing it with us so we can all be inspired/lose hope of ever making anything decent forever. No, I jest. I am so glad I found your blog when I did months ago. Those robots! The story! The elephants! But my favorite has to be those craft clocks. Brilliant, funny and slightly twisted - love it all. Thank you!
They look great Jod. Nice to see that being locked away in your jammies has a good end result .. We have a camcorder here if you ever need a lend. No trouble!
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.
These tutorials are here for you to have a try. Please feel free to make any number of these items for your own use or gift-giving but please do not make items to sell using these instructions.

Oh these are too cool Jodie... I have to do bloomin' siggy squares for our retreat, and had been thinking along these lines (but too lazy to do!)
take care and I might have to send out a search party for my Mr Gocco :O) aren't you glad I told you about Mr Gocco????

They look terrific. The girls arrived safely and we're all heading out to tea shortly. Great to have company from my "other" life.
Love 'em! Have fun on your sewing holiday.
So what are you up too now Miss Jodie? You have me intrigued with the postcards.
Happy New Year,
Kerryanne
That is the best use of a Gocco I have seen in a long time! Haha!

Seriously, is there no end to your creative genius? They're wonderful! Are you planning to sell them?
Just when we think you've done it all, you astound with yet another brilliant idea! Very cool.

Dying to know what you'll do with them. And in the meantime, I'm enjoying what my imagination is coming up with..........

I have dreamt of my very own Mr Gocco for quite a while now, but if I had one, when am i going to find time to play with it?
Nice postcards...perhaps they could be sent from the sewing room?

Very cool Jodie! So much for having a rest over the holidays! Though I guess this is the perfect time to do lots of creative things... lucky you!
Wow -- that looks like a super fun project! I hope you've had a grand New Year's Eve -- Happy New Year!!!
That is definitely very neat! Happy New Year!
