dot points

Today was hysterical - it was like the festival of the blogs (man we should really start that !)...so many bloggers, so many hugs, so much laughing my face is aching....
(OK, this is foxy perfection...look at that little head tilt - again Winterwood)

Tomorrow night I am staying in Melbourne (so far, I have been up bright and early on the 7.45 train from ballarat each day) so I won't be posting. Then Sunday after the show (5pm) we pack up and drive home (about 1 1/2 hrs) so chances are there won't be a post then either as I'll be unpacking the man-car when I get home and then collapsing !

(Nikki (of course) from You sew girl) The woman is simply brilliant !

Yes, I will try and get some Bigger photos- like of the aisles and things tomorrow !



My across the road neighbour Wrens Nest studios - so delicate and the NICEST people you will ever ever meet)

The funniest ever thing today ??? Claire from craft shmaft taking her sausage roller dog (see last post) for a little walk up the aisle on his lead.... I love wacko softie people !!!

and this is Pauline and me . Pauline is from Funky friends and she does softies too and is my other across the road neighbour. She is an awesome neighbour as well

I just have to say I really lucked out with my neighbours - they are all awesome...in fact the whole incubator is full of really fun, crafty , kind of crazy people............... I feel right at home!

(and today I think I met almost every blogger in Australia - at least it felt like it.... Hello Everyone !) My face is sore from laughing, my feet are sore from standing and arms are sore from hugging !!! What a great way to feel so tired !

I just love the goodies you've posted and the little dragon on your previous post has captured a little bit of my heart.

Jodie, love the look of your stall. You look like you are having the time of your life! I could not get down there to see you this time around *sigh* That work thing got in the way. Will see you anyway at the stitching fiesta in Daylesford. I live in Ballarat so it will be good to have more stitching buddies.

Loads of fun visiting your stall today at Stitches. (I was the one who wanted "one of everything".) Consider me a new fan. Can't wait to get stuck into putting together my hedgehogs. :)

silverpebble said...

Sounds as though you had a total blast. Fairs can be just the best can't they? Goodness that fair lady seems to have made a Jodie.

Carolyn said...

HI- thank you for your session today. I know I am exausted after being there for 1 day- I can appreciate how much more tired you must be feeling!
Arnt those paper crafts just divine... yet another craft to get my hands onto LOL!

Jodie, you inspire me. You're one of the most dynamic people I've ever met (only once, at Sewjourn, see what an impression you made!).
Have really enjoyed these Stitches and Craft Show posts, and your leading-up-to posts.
