I don't mean to rub it in - but have you guys been over and checked out the show guide?
Far out there is some stuff going on .........
Anyway at the show I will be talking about blogging. I won't be getting technical at all. Basically I am going to talk about my experience of blogging and why I do it. I will definitely go off tangent, I may drop in a few swear words (I am worse when I am nervous) and if Annie keeps me to time , then there will be lots of opportunity for people to ask me questions of the non-technical variety. Its completely free, (as all useless information should be) and I'll be talking the talk on Friday Saturday and Sunday while my mum runs the stall.
Without further ado, the ticket winners are Linda of Gum Valley Patchwork
and Kate of One flew Over . )
Now for those of you in Australia who cannot get to the show- I have another giveaway but you'll have to be patient. At this stage it looks like I will have 3 new patterns to release at the show (maybe more but I'm not promising) so I'll give a copy of each new pattern to someone plus I'll buy them a little present from the show as well....So knock yourselves out in the comment box below and I'll be back with an international giveaway as soon as soon.
And my wisdom after 4 days back at work?
(and I am not ignoring you, blogger is no longer forwarding comments to my inbox , this means replying has become a bloody eighty step process....If you need me just email through my profile)

Ohhh I wish I could get to the show BOO HOO
but I hope you will fill us all in on the goss when you get back
please enter me in the draw hugs Beth [going of to sulk now}
Yep good move Clare whinging about not being able to go to the show .
Thanks Jodie really looking forward to hearing all about it 1
*sniffs*
I was just happily trawiling through the show guide & came accross the unwelcome news that I will miss your session on craft blogging because I'm going on a decidedly 'uncool' day.
*double sniffs*
Zippy is exactly right - work sucks and craft rules! ;-)
I wish I could make it to the show, but I can't make it to everything, right? I'm so excited about SIT, it's getter closer everyday.
I'd love to win your lovely patterns and a little gift from the show, fingers crossed that I might be the lucky winner. If not, I'll just have to stalk your Etsy shop and pounce on the patterns when they go up for sale. Pretty please have some Hedgie kits for sale too.
Good luck with your show prep and surviving work - "you can do it!".
Hugs
Kelly :-)
Woo so exciting! W have to wait till 2011 here in Adelaide boohoo! I wouldhave loved to hear you talk about your blog! Good luck, can't wait to see photos!!
sigh, if only i could go instead of working
Have a great time - wish I could hear you babbling about blogging :) And love the zip message!
Oh, it sounds good! Please count me in too on your giveaway!
Thanks for the chance,
Edit from Hungary
I so wish I could go. I was tempted to head over for a few days from Adelaide but I don't think I could leave my daughter :(
I hope one year I can get to the show it sounds like so much fun, but what a fabulous generous giveaway Jodie yipppeeeee
that zoe-jane comment is me Jodie...I was on Zoe's laptop and it was signed into her blogger account!!!!! I am a ning I know
hear, bloody, hear. Sorry, I was nervous.
Does Bass Strait count as international waters??
Good Luck Jod, I know you'll knock 'em dead!!!
Count me in for this one please Jodie. And as term has commenced and I am back at the 2 jobs, I definitely NEED one of those zippy zipper monsters! PS: the verification word this time round is "cheezi"!! who, me??
I'm so jealous (especially since the one in Sydney was cancelled this week).
I wonder why Blogger stopped forwarding your comments? I get very few but still seem to be having them emailed. I know it's bleeding obvious, but have you checked your settings just to make sure you haven't accidentally changed something? (just a thought).
Thanks Mate! See you there xx
I wish I could go! Sounds fun!
sadly i will be stuck at the coalface and unable to attend the show which, quite frankly, sucks. i also live in Adelaide which is great most of hte time but is decidedly lacking in stitches and craft shows. so obviously i would love to live vicariously through you! fingers crossed and have a fantastic time!!
ooo oo OO me too, i would love to be 'in'
have a blast at the show!
Oh, new release patterns - lovely! And I love that zipper mouthed monster, I think I need one of those for my desk.
Good luck! But I know you'll do fine. I went to your blogging session at the last Stitches and Craft show in Sydney and it was great! I would really recommend going along if you could!
Jodie, you are teh awesome :)
Oh fun! Thanks for the giveaway! Hope you have fun at the show!
I am totally going to ditch the kids and go to the show this year!!!! Yeah!! who wants to work when there's crafting to do :)
Bonjour cher Jodie, j'mapelle La Stomper Fil et j'habitee Souf of France? Voulez vous? Sil vous plait entree le competition?
Non?
Bugger it!
gah, I wish I could go to the show. Love your wisdom on work.
Hi! I live across the Earth from you in Portugal: international and VERY far from the show! Love your work and would love even more to win one of those patterns!
Good luck with your talks!
I'm just going to move down under so I can go to all these wonderful shows and visit these wonderful shops you have there. I'm so jealous :)
Ooooh what a fabulous giveaway!! I'm from rural West Oz - in other words a loooong way away :)
You are so rubbing it in, although I am thinking of passing some of the blame to Sheridan for organising Sew it Together a week later!
Until 2 days ago I WAS going to the show until my husband reminded me that he is working all that weekend !
"booked it in weeks ago..you remember...blah blah blah"
Caught out...wasn't listening...that'll teach me!
Best of luck with it all...

Great give away - hope the show goes fabulous for you - I am sure it will!
I love that 'work sucks, lets craft' doll! So funny! I love the surprise of not knowing what they're going to say until you unzip them.
I'm intrigued by those boxes...wishing I could see them on display at the show. Damn all you Australians and your crafty Godliness! You're making me jealous and making wish I lived on the other side of the earth...and that's a lot to make a person wish for.
Can't wait to hear about the new patterns though :) Best of luck at the show
Enough of all that! Lets get down to the important questions...... who or what are all those boxes for??? L x
Hi from Canada! Totally love your blog and your creations. May I be in the draw? Thanks!
Work sucks, let's craft - so true! I hope you have a LOVELY time at the show, I can't wait to read all about it!
I need that monster - at the very least I need permission to share him on my blog, too!
Oh do have fun at the fair won't you!? xxx
There is something ODD going on for the Sydney Stitches and Craft Show THIS WEEK - there isn't any show guide available that I am aware of - the correct dates aren't even showing up on their website - any Sydney people have any ideas? Ha! Word Verification is BABLEFLA - I like it!!
Good luck at the show......
Oh, and I'd love to enter your giveaway....
What do you mean you're having a giveaway and all we have to do is comment??! We don't have to follow you, tweet/facebook/blog it, or give you our first born??!! Wow! Count me in!
oh I am going to miss those talks.....hilarious...........lol.......bummer
I am knocking myself out (hope a pattern of the masked bandit cat is on offer???) I will miss your replies to my random comments :-) I see you are next to Claire and her lovely little owls at the show, I told her you would keep her in Stitches ;-) Watching from afar, FNQ!!
Three new patterns!! Woo Hoo. I cannot wait to see them.
Have fun at the show, alas, I will not be able to attend. So a giveaway would be nice.! Pick me!! Pick me!!
Have fun at the show and don't get too nervous.
Cannot.believe.they.CANCELLED.Sydney.show.....
I wonder if a ticket from the US to Australia would be totally worth it just to come to the craft show? Probably. Oh well. At least your pictures are good. :) Have fun!
See you at the show Jod! I won't be missing it, you'll know me... I'll be the one giggling away like a schoolgirl - that's what usually happens when I read your posts! :-)
Looking forward to seeing your new patterns! :-)
Hugs n' mushy stuff!
Vikki x
I just discovered blogs about a month or so ago, and you are amazing!!! I am so amazed at the brilliant things you do and come up with. I look forward to getting online each day to see if you have posted anything new!
I absolutely love your zipper-mouth softies! And you always get the comments spot on! Great job Jodie!
still testing.............
me again.. Just ignore me as I shuffle about in the corner with the dustpan and broom...
You just don't care about us minions.
Hi Jodie,
Look forward to seeing you at the show.
Hugs, Sharon
Am I allowed to win? Oh please..!
Gosh, that little monster is clever isn't he?
I'm very much looking forward to the Brissie S&C show - though they are making us hang an awfully long time till it comes here (it will be about 18 months between visits). I SO enjoyed seeing your selvedge creations - I blogged about them. And it was just wonderful to meet many other fantastic bloggers and amazing crafters too...are you coming up our neck of the woods this year?
CRAFT SHOW!! aaah man South africa needs to get its act together, we dont have a single one here!! NO FAIR *sulk sulk*. But im sure that I will live vicariously through all the photos that you will post and the stories that you will tell so i will just have to hold out for that!!
I went to etsy to get your elephant pattern and HORROR of HORRORS you shop is temporarily closed!! I will just have to hold out and let the anticipation build up!!
have a awesome time!!
Cleo
Truer words, my dear, were never spoken.
Or zippered. Ach, you know what I mean!
Yay, giveaway! :D
(Totally agree with those words of wisdom too)
Hope it all goes well for you. Bah humbug from Adelaide too! Better put me in the draw- I could do with some consoling!
You do such a fantastic job of your softies Jodie and I can't wait to read about the show....good luck with your talk.....public speaking ...hhmmm...glad it's you.
Cheers Michelle :-)
I won't be working at the show this time but wouldn't miss catching up with you for the world. Good luck with all the final preps!!
I have been following your blog for a while, and am always delighted by what I see. I especially love when you make up stories with your softies as characters!
Oh bum! I would have been there. Got my flight booked and everything. Got time off work. Childcare organised. Clean pamts packed. Then wouldn't you bloomin' know it - a stoopid volcano goes and erupts in Iceland and all the stoopid planes are grounded for like ever.
Bloody typical!!
Have a great time without me :o)

Of course - I don't actually wear 'pamts' - I much prefer 'pants'.
Moogs xxx
I'm still trying to work out which day I could make it there - not enough hours in the day!
New patterns? Message bots? please?
I so want my own little message bot!
Lucky peeps that get to hear you in person, Jodie. Have a great time at the show!
Oh, how I would love to a chance to win but if not, I'm still happily looking forward to reading about your adventures right here.
Good luck!
I really do WANT to go to the show :( I hope you have a marvellous time! WA is so lacking in facilities and the one crafty show we get is still too far away for me to attend. PS. Do you think my boss would mind if I put that "Work sucks" plushie front and centre on my desk? hehe
So ... If I do win, I'll use your message bots to deliver inappropriate and risqué messages to people camouflaged as a cuddly toy, and you will likely get sued. But if I don't win you may find yourself permanently scarred in a 'freak zipper accident'. Just sayin'
He he he, what a way to keep people guessing, imagine the dud people out there who never think to unzip to reveal a message!! Good luck, love your complete modesty, love Posie
wow, haven't you been cooking up a whole lot of goodness!
I'm definitely gonna try to tee up a visit on Friday so I can come along to your bloggy session. What a hoot!
Yay! I can't wait to see the new patterns. And thanks for thinking of us readers who can't travel to the show. Have fun and I hope you sell everything!
Zipper mouth has got it right! Now if I only could get that quote on a pendant for my necklace (it would go so well with the one I have, which says : "I tried to be reasonable - I didn't like it").
Best of luck with the show and your lectures!
Wow, that is generous of you. Have fun at the show!
Fantastic, I love a giveaway...especially one of your give aways. Can't wait to see my name in your blog as the winner LOL
Hope that you can make the Sydney show..that would be "cool".
Love your work
Rebecca
Excited it's back on - can't wait!
Hope you have a lovely time at the show. I can't make it but look forward to hearing all about it after you have been. Can't wait to see your new patterns !! xx
I love EVERYTHING you make so I'm soooo hoping I'll win a pattern.
Completely love the "Work sucks. Let's craft" softie doodad guy. Superb.
how good is the showguide! i love it!!!!! still working on my hubby to get down there but short on the papercraft on sunday so looks like I 'have' to go!
Corrie;)
Hello Jodie, I wouldn't have a chance to get across the other side of Australia to hear you talk about blogging. I am sure you will do well. Have fun.
Happy days.
Bev.xoxo
Hope your blog talk goes well. I would love to go to Stitches and Craft but it is a bit far away. I look forward to stitches and craft coming to Canberra next year.

It will be so nice to see you at Stitches and Craft. I'll be wandering around (when not teaching folk to knit on the Pear Tree Yarn stall) on Wednesday and Friday, so if you need coffee or a toilet break or something, I'm your man.
I miss going to all the shows :( but love reading blogs to keep me in touch
