Call me Elastic woman

OK, so although I am the first to say that I am no superwoman - I have decided that I am in fact ...."elastic woman".
I just keep on stretching, and fitting in more stuff. The list is keeping me in line, if not quite up-to-date. There is so very much to do between now and May 5th and of course I have just performed the biggest stretch of all, and gone back to the day job.
(sheesh it takes up some time).

But you know, all the busyness is fun in that kind of crazy way - I don't do so well with nothing to do -and the librarian in me revels in the lists and checklists, and ticking boxes nature of it all.

and now I am ticking the give away box.

I have two tickets to the show in Melbourne to give away.

The Stitches and Craft show is in Caulfield may 5 - 9th, so if you are planning on going or if a free ticket will help you make up your mind-please leave a comment(and make sure I can reply to you). I think I'll give two people one ticket each...

(I'll be doing another giveaway for people who can't make the show soon as well I promise)

Give-away one ....... Tick !

Selina said...

hehe! If you can supply the room and board for the time I'll be there, then yes, send me the ticket!! Still deciding.... might have to check Tiger airways, see if they have any of those $10 plane tickets!

Claire - Matching Pegs said...

I love love love the little jacket.

I have not made it to the Stitches and Craft Show before, but have read such good things - count me in to the draw!

Brianna said...

Just decide which day I wanted to go! What stall will you be at because I'm coming to visit! Love the little characters at the top as well. Love to see you there too Selina.

Vic said...

Oh oh oh!

COUNT ME IN for the ticket draw - a free ticket could mean extra sushi or extra fabric or more buttons or another pattern or a better rotary cutter or a better breakie to keep my energy up or some stamps or an embroidery hoop or two or some wool for my Gran to make Punky something or... or... or....!

Counting down the days now... wheeeeeeeee!

(PS, now that my totally selfish rant is over - LOVE the wee red coat!)

little women said...

ohhhh pick me, pick me, pick me, PLEEEAAASSE mummy - nagging seems to work for my children, thought I might give it a try :)
I can't wait for all that motivation and inspiration of THE show.
Keep on stretching Jodie, just don't snap!

Steph said...

Would love a ticket...if I lived down your way :( That little jacket is gorgeous! I have awarded you a Sunshine Blog Award (think you have already received one since) but maybe I should have called it Elastic Woman Stretch Award. Pop into my blog when you have a chance to check it out (may have to scroll down a bit). Hope all is well Stretchy :)

Kate said...

Not needing a ticket, but could do with a red jacket in my size!

Jan said...

Love that little red jacket, Jodie. BTW, are you having trouble getting your head through the door these days now that the Homespun ed. has described your work as "exquisite" and "divine"? No ticket thanks; OS visitors and such in May so not sure if I'll be going. Let me know if I can help out with packing kits or whatever.

Vireya said...

Please put me in your draw! Thanks for the chance to win a ticket.

Jodie said...

testing again ...gggrrrr

sooz said...

The
Red
Coat
Seriously
Makes
Me
All
Melty.

And I am wondering who (or what) will be wearing it at the show? I am very very curious.

And I am pretty sure that Elastic Woman is a member of the superhero council (and much preferred over super woman whose boobs are too pointy and hair too big and somewhat self-absorbed).

Trudi - Me and Ewe said...

I am exhausted just reading about how busy you are!
I would love to come to the stitches & craft show - thanks for the giveaway x

Kerryanne English said...

I love busyness too!!

Love that red coat.

Unfortunately I can't join in the draw now that I have moved to the coast but I just wanted to comment anyway.
Hugs ~ Kerryanne

Thimbleanna said...

One Flew Over said...

Melissa Antolovic said...

ohjoh said...

Dear Elastic Woman
PLEASE add me to you list - yes I have a fabric addiction but I'm sure I'll be fine surrounded by stalls and stalls of it and ideas and creative people and..... Therapy can come later!
Thanks
Not-So-Elastic Woman

Bridget said...

I am coming to the stitches & craft show, I'm even coming over from New Zealand! Well, I was coming to melbourne to visit anyway so I figured I may as well schedule my visit for that weekend.

I can't get the guide to download off the website :-( do you know if its available anywhere else?

beck said...

Hey Jod, I'd love to win a ticket. I haven't been to this before and am planning to go this year. Hope you aren't stretching tooooo much, xo

Hi Jodie,

The bots and the jacket are just gorgeous. Are you allowed time off from being a librarian and will you be at the show everyday?

Bev

clare's craftroom said...

Would love a chance to win a ticket to meet y'all!

Lynne said...

I wish I could make it because the Sydney Stitches and Craft Show that was supposed to be in February and was postponed and then supposed to start tomorrow has been cancelled! (with no explanation) Boo-hoo!!

SewObsession said...

okays adding comment here.......

I would love tremendously please to win a ticket to the Stitches and Craft show.

I need inspiration and i think along with you blog the show would help.

BTW who is that cute little red coat for, maybe that duck you were working on?

SewObsession said...

one more thing jodie what on earth are you testing for??? a bit of a mystery????

Jodie said...

Grrr...I am testing to try and figure out why all of a sudden blogger has stopped sending comments to my inbox- It is driving me mental !!!

Calidore said...

I'm not sure if you are Elastic Woman or Super Woman or a combination of both to get everything done that you do. Either way I'm in awe of your achievements and will bow down before your organisational genuis next time I see you...vbg.

Liam's Mummy said...

I can't believe you are fitting all of this around a day job. I will see you there!

Rina said...

I'd love a chance to win a ticket but will be coming to say hi no matter. Hope things are good Mrs Elastic woman.

Mandy M said...

Love to win a ticket to the show. I haven't been fro about 5 years and I think it's about time I ventured back with my wallet glued shut!! I always spend waaay too much there!! LOL

Mandy M said...

Gosh Jodie, You would think I would have spell checked my previous comment prior to posting...hehehe.

Partito y Monito said...

Count me in please! Another order for an adult sized little red jacket that is the cutiest patootiest thing I've seen in ages!

Jodie said...

and me again - my head is about to explode...

ladydi said...

I can't make it to your part of the world this year, but I would ADORE to have the pattern for that most exquisite red coat and purse. I love the toggle button closings, and I will be first in line to buy the pattern when it becomes available. Not that I'm trying to add to your already lengthy list of things to do!

CurlyPops said...

I have a ticket so I'm not entering the giveaway, but I have to say that that's the sweetest little duffle coat I ever did see. Do you think you could make one in my size???

Katrina said...

Lucy Locket-Pocket said...

Um Jod, you don't need to leave yourself comments you know! You've ALREADY GOT YOUR TICKET!!!! ;o)

But I'm not at all surprised that you have discovered your new status as Elastic-Girl - we've all known you were a super-hero for years!

I quite often get called Lucy Lastic but not for the same reasons (just say it outloud to yourself........)

Locket xx

Sew It To Me said...

That jacket is too precious!

Griffin said...

That little red coat and the handbag are gorgeous. Now all they need is a little someone to wear them!

Ta for the passing by nod too! I really needed that.

Andi said...

Janine said...

teddybearswednesday said...

I'm definitely coming. You are very sweet to do this give away

Tui said...

Last year's show was the best I've been to. It was so great to see "funky" where I normally see "fusty". Looking forward to this year's.

Michelle Whyte said...

Hi Jodie. Would love a ticket to the stitches and craft show *grin* pretty, pretty please! Being crafty busy is such good fun. I am currently stitching ladybugs and quilting a quilt for my bed. Heaven!

Linda said...

I haven't been able to go to the Stitches & Craft Show for a few years.......but this year is it....it would be great to win a ticket - a day away from cows and calves would be fantastic!
Cheers Linda :)

beeware said...

Oh Jodie..you have hit the jackpot with those photos. That red jacket, the Pocket-bots. Ahh..Don't count me in on the giveaway as I can't be there but I do so look forward to catching up at SIT.
All the best with elasticating!!

Blonde One (Deb) said...

It is amazing how much one women can fit into their day! I am so impressed and overwhelmed. KEEP going you are doing an amazing job!

CreationsBySBDesigns said...

i do hope your in-box is not full you may need to empty dont know just a suggestion...... so do boxes get full......well maybe that was a dumb suggestion by me sorry.....

Kirsty said...

Jod...blogger is stoopid. There is nothing good about the comment system in my opinion.

I'm very much enjoying the vision of you all stretchy like.

Jenny said...

That darned day job in the way again! Love your elasticity Ms RicRac-such clever cuteness all round. Would love to go to the craft show but alas not this year:(

The Essess said...

I am not entering but just admiring your handy work once again! Phew I don't know how you get the time, maybe another Super Ric Rac!

Anonymous said...

The amazing "Elastic woman" I like that, just imagine teaming up with "Super Pops" (any more out there?) for a league of crafty superheroes!
I am booked in to get my tonsils out on the 27th April (yes I am a grown up!And I know it could be 10 days of hell) but my aim is to be recovered enough to make it to Stitches and Craft - I have to have something to look forward to after going through that. So a free ticket would be lovely - and more motivation to recover!

cassiescuddles said...

I would love to win a free ticket to the craft show, I haven't been for 10 years! i never have a day to myself, but maybe this could be the exception. Thanks for the opportunity.

upstateLisa said...

Elastic woman!!! I love that name!!!

Catherine said...

Please count me in! I would love to meet the amazing elastic woman, and get some inspiration to turn my elephant coloured op shop fabric into one of your creations.
Thank you!

nathalie said...

if only i lived closer! i would so go to the show! and how about this red little coat? way to cute!!!!

Linda said...

As a fellow librarian, ex-resident of Ballarat and crafter (although on a much smaller less professional level than your amazing and inspiring efforts) I am planning on going to the Stitches and Craft Show anyway, but a free ticket would certainly be appreciated.

Susan said...

I'm not going, but that little red jacket caught my eye! And the baby bots- tooooooo cute!

Daphne said...

Since I am up here in Seattle, I'm not entering for this draw but instead much remark on HOW CUTE the bots are. Love them so much.

kate said...

looking forward to it.......... saving saving....
