Yes I know there is still stuff to do, but with every blogger saying "see you next week" and every email talking about what day people will be visiting and what classes they have booked in for and who they are excited to meet or catch up with, I can't help but get increasingly excited. Heaps of people are taking advantage of the two day ticket offer for $15 so they can fit in everything they want to do...
Can I ask a favour ?
If you do come to the show , please come and say hi. Please don't do that freaky weird thing where you email me a week later and tell me you came and hung out and visited me but didn't say hi 'cause you were too scared to talk to me....
I mean look, yes I seem to be smiling in a weird lop-sided village idiot kind of way....but I won't bite you and won't try and sell you stuff , I might ask you to play shopkeeper while I run off to the toilet, I may hug you , I may already know you through your blog, or I might have no idea who you are and will need your card so I can look up your blog after the show....
For me, the meeting-people-bit was one of the very best things about last years show, and lets be honest is also one of the great bits about this community, so come on just walk right up and say Hi there Jod !
I promise I'll be on my very best non-freaky behavior!

hahahahahahahaha - best non-freaky behaviour. As if!
Hahahaha.. on your best behaviour .. at the show! I look forward to seeing that. But honestly Jod, have a great time x
You are so awesome it makes me almost cry. Have a wonderful time! x
You are the best Jodes! Can't wait to see you Friday, no chance of me playing miss shy!
Gee jod, this post makes me want to jump right in and go and purchase some tickets. Bugger it no money in the piggie....I'll just have to gate crash a ballarat blogger gig. I wonder if ro would still like to come?
xx
I second that: go up to Jodie and talk to her because she is lovely and funny and friendly and top value.
Hi there, Jod! Can you see me waving from over here in Southern California?
have a fab time :)))) x
Have a fabulous time at Stitches! And I will meet you at Sew It and I will say hi and hug and possibly squeal. See you then xox
Hi Jodie,
Can't wait to come see you at the show! Thinking about doing the two day ticket as well. Do you need me to bring snacks for you?!
My alter ego makes bunting flags love yours........are they easy to clean.....look great on the clothes line ^_^....might see you at the show...have fun...
crazy laDY - i'll be there on Thursday with baby Daisy in tow and I'm expecting a BIG hug from you xx
I'm flying over from Perth just to meet you. Hope I'm not too shy to say hello!
Looking forward to all of the above! xx
I'm getting excited now!! Best I try and be non freaky too.
I just told Hubby that everyone in Melbourne and Sydney are going and he said go on get the tickets....he knows how to fuel my dreams xx
I'm coming to visit you on Friday especially so I can sit in on your blogging session. Can't wait!
stop it stop it your making me sad...........wished I could come too........wonder if you will have anyone running and screaming to meet up????lol........
Oh, Jodie, it would be such fun. If it weren't for the time and money thing I'd be there in a minute. I hope you'll take lots of photos so we can visit by way of your blog.
Wish I could be there to say Hi, give you a hug and buy some of your wonderful kits.
Have a great time.
ps love your bunting.
Rebecca.
Wishing I could be there but my private jet is booked. :o)
Geez... wish I could be there. Maybe next time....
Get. Out. Of. Here. You have one of those mini hills hoists. You lucky gal. I've coveted one of those for a very long time. VERY.
Good luck Mrs and I'm sure you will be a major hit with all involved. And I would be disappointed, people, if you meet Jod and she's not in the least freaky. That would be a damn shame!
HI Jodie, I did just that last year, came and said hi and thought you were very friendly, lucky I didn't know you were big bad scary impressive lady of blog world fame. I just loved your teapot and selvedge dress! I wanted to take you home and have you as my new best friend!!
You're hysterical! I'm always one of those stalker/lurkers who never wants to bother the famous person. But after that post, if only I could be there -- I'd be clinging to your skirts whimpering "Meet Me...Meet Me". Great pic Jodi -- you're a cutie!!!
I just had to come in and encourage everyone to say hi to Jodie. She is not weird at all but don't be alarmed if she screams like a banshee when she meets you. Or was that me screaming?
Proper village idiots have loam-soaked hats with holes in and only three teeth. I presume you're in training. I can lend you some pliers to address the teeth issue.
I only wish I could be there to give you a pee-break, Jodie! I'd sell all your remaining stuff, too, while the masses queued up to say hi when you got back.
I am sure you're going to have the BEST time. You've worked hard enough for it, you deserve it!
Now my head is all done in. Whixh is freakier: to say hello in pure terror, just to prove that you're not weird, or to lurk at the actual show but then never admit that you admired the blogger and stall, because such behaviour has been bloggily described as weird?
Unfortunately I can not make the distance...
So I will say "HI Jodie"...
Would love to meet you one day...
Big hug...
and I am sure you will have a great time at the show...
Regards sweetie...
I'll be there in spirit and my spirit will definitely come up and say hello and will bring cake!!
I've decided that rather than fly 10,000+ miles for the weekend, I'm going to sit in a chilly field in a chilly tent and knit socks.
You'd only be swamped anyway, after making your heartfelt appeal for company and I'd hate to fly all that way and not get your undivided attention ;o)
Have a fantastic time!!

I wish I could come over and say hello! Hope it goes well... have fun!
I'm so excited, it's a little bit frightening. And I'm totes happy to be a shop minder while you visit the ladies ( I've have a small bladder, so I have huge understanding) and well to warn you I may hug you , and I will prbably be grinning like an idiot. xo
Please put up pictures of your booth and tell us all about it so those of us who live interstate can come by and visit and say "Hi there Jod!"
Geez, wish I could be there!
I would come by and say "Hi" but, according to a comment on my wife's blog, apparently I'm craftarded and therefore I've decided to seriously spend my time taking some craft lessons at the show to become more craftastic... so that I can hang with the "in" crowd. It's so hard not being able to fit in with the popular people... Maybe it's a Y chromosome thing? ;-) See you there!
Hiya Jod!
I'll be sure to come and say hello and will probably instigate one of those hugs!
Looking forward to the show!!!!
Vikki xoxo :-)
Oh my gosh, looks like you are going to have a busy and fun weekend! If I was there I would totally stop by and holler! Good luck!
I'll be there on Friday.
Need a lunch break person?
Andi x
Can only say - I wish I was going to be there. I'll just have to suffice with photos from last year.
Love this lopsided smile photo Jodie - you crack me up!!
Seriously, best of luck for a very successful show.
Hugs ~ Kerryanne
Oh I want to come even more now!!
I would say hi and you would most probably think "freaky blog stalker!" Love and hugs for the show.
Hope you enjoyed your day at AQC.
Will see you at the next show. Hope it's a good one for you.
Wish I could have one of those hugs! Have a wonderful time
Oh BUM. This post just makes me even more sad that I can't come and see you too! :o(
I'd encourage you to be as freaky-mad as possible.
Locket xx
If you insist. I won't hang around hiding in the background. I'll come and say hi!!
I will definitely be dropping by to say hi. I'm there for 2 days - Friday and Saturday - and plan to come and listen to your talk about blogging too!
Looking forward to catching up.
Have fun... see you there!
Hey, u look nice, id love to come to the show and meet u if i was in the area.
Sounds like ure having fun. Have a great show!:)
I hope you'll be a little bit freaky. Just a wee bit. Please...
I wish I lived closer! I would run up and introduce myself! You are so sweet! I am always so surprized by how thoughtful and generous the blog world is! You are the bee's knees my friend :)
well I have to say you were the highlight for me last year Jodie - hope you have a great time and meet lots of wonderful people.
Of course I'll say hello. I'll probably even give you a bit hug. Then who'll be the freaky one??
Oh this is so awful sitting on the other side of the country wishing that I could be there... I feel like Dolly Parton singing "two doors down" ... but it is more like on "two states over" :(
Hi Jodie, Loved the write up in the Melbourne Weekly! Looking forward to seeing you at S&C on Saturday!
I had hoped to meet you, but someone else was holding fort when I dropped by! Next year. I loved seeing Ernst in person :)
