Physician, heal thyself........

Yesterday, on my day off I had to buy a new pair of work pants.
This was before the vomiting in the street incident. (Don't stress, It was discreet, in a cough cough cough vomit kind of way)
So, not wishing to sacrifice one of my few remaining brain cells to the chore of clothes shopping- I planned a super quick visit. Get in grab the most boring pair of pants you can see - and get out.
As I headed in I passed a coat /hoodie /hybrid - truly one of the most impractical, synthetic horrors I have seen in quite a while. Not surprisingly it was drastically reduced !

It has not stopped baaaaaaaing since I brought it home.

I totally buy clothes like that to cut up and make into soft little things! It looks like the perfect little sheep.... or an abominable snowman! (with a cute wife to keep him in line.)

Kate said...

Oh no the vomiting in the street sounds awful, that is perfect sheep fabric.

Clair said...

Bet you feel a little sheepish!

hehehe

one of my boys was given a little lamb with which you could unzip his fleece so he was either wooly or shawn. Quite cute really.

And dude, if I catch you wearing that at Craft Camp I'm totally putting you in the naughty corner and denying you alcohol for all of at least an hour.

Oh Jodie, vomiting in the street is no dood! Poor love.

Fer said...

You'll be a snuggly little lamb then!

Vomiting in the street, you poor thing!

Vicky said...

I would dye it hot pink and wear it with pride LOL

Sorry to hear about the vomiting in the street>

Melanie said...

Ok, I have officially read 'vomiting in the street' too many times - it has turned itself into a song in my head, a la 'dancing in the street', only grosser.

Tanya said...

Thanks to Melanie, I have got 'vomiting in the street' to the tune of dancing in the street going round my head now too! So, did you get the pants? I hate clothes shopping! Hey, and by the way, I'll give you sympathy if you give me some...poor sick me (sore throat, headache- aren't I a poor love??). Hope you are better now, and that hoodie has given me a smile!

It must have been a real baaaaargin Jodie.

Cass said...

Oh no vomiting in the street, I hope you weren't seen by any of the school kids. As long as you aren't wearing that jacket it will be great.

Brenda said...

Atleast it's only baaaaaing and not baaaaarfing......like it's new owner!

Hope you are feeling much better soon.

Baa-Me Kniits said...

Oh God I just about wet myself reading those comments....not laughing at you just with you lovey :-) Hey that sheep with a removable coat sounds too cute and pink too ;-)

Catherine said...

ah, the cough, cough, vomit... I remember that well ... hoping things pick up soon (and hoping that the "vomiting in the street song" and "baarfing" jokes haven't prompted too many "laugh, cough, cough, vomit" episodes!)

clare's craftroom said...

Chuck it out in the backyard on the grass so "ewe" can't hear it anymore . Sorry maybe I shouldn't have said chuck , oops !
Get better very soon .

Was it the sight of that jacket that brought on the vomiting in the street?!

Cath @ chunkychooky said...

never shop when unwell. you cannot be blamed for the decisons made. It will make great softies. I would have boight it for that reason too... whciih I am assuming you bought it to chop right?????

Stephanie said...

At least you weren't food shopping! Wondering if synthetic sheep thing will remain a jacket/hoodie or become repurposed for perhaps a sheep?

Creative disorganization said...

I think it is great....just hope that if you have any pets...well...umm...ok next point...I'd wear it.
cheers Nic

Lisar said...

You totally crack me up...I have had a really good chuckle at this one...I can't wait to see what this gorgeous hoodie is transformed into....hopign you're feeling heaps better soon too..

Stacey said...

Was it seeing that abomonination in the window of the shop that caused you to lose your lunch in the street?
Tell me please you bought it to chop up and repurpose, otherwise I shall have to think your illness caused delirium.

beck said...

I'm not sure you should be let out yet....x

Little Kitty pink said...

Well Jodie i will not even mention about you barrffing in the street as i've don't it too many times,chest infections just love me, but will mention what way cool little lambs with attitude could be jumbing out of that jacket, my daughter has a little lamb that gets into all sorts of adventures, he even got lost in a toy store for three weeks, imagine the tails he could tell.baaaa i meant tales.
get well soon, love ya blog and craft.

Bleeting fabulous. Love Posie

Jo in TAS said...

That's a hoodie that deserves to be chopped into pieces and sewn back together!

Brianna said...

Well, you need to hold a dress-up party where everyone has to come as a farm animal and then you are set! Or you can just cut it up like everyone else has suggested.

Griffin said...

Ahem, I'm with beck, I don't think you should be let out yet either. Your shopping shows woolly thinking...

Still at least you can get a sheep out of it if not actually wearing it, which would most likely be criminal and you might get mistaken for a were-sheep.

sue niven said...

clothes shopping is the worst even when you are not sick, i always think, this will make a nice toy! Have fun cutting it up! Get better soon, warmer weather should help.

Tracey Petersen said...

A public chuck, no matter how discreet, is never a boost to the self-esteem. I hope you had some water to sip afterwards.

May your fleecy hoodie warm you well.

brown robin said...

Oh my! How you made me laugh. Thanks for stopping by my blog and giving me some well wishes and sympathy about my dog bite/attack. Looks like you've had a rough month as well. Hang in there! My best friend is an Aussie/Canadian and she comes in Dec... woo hoo! Love your country!

shula said...

Almost vomited at the plastic sheep,

but kept it together...

What possessed you, or was it just the delirium?

Jan said...

Baaa humbug! Hope there were no school kids around to witness your loss of dignity (I mean puking, not looking sheepish) - it would have made their day!Hope you are feeling a whole lot better today, Jodie.
