Where am I ?

You may be forgiven for thinking I am over at The Drapers of Mt. Macedon, swanning about a-la-trunk-show


or you may think I am living in the cutest online magazine. (With Kate and Fiona, two awesome Australian softie designers).

but I'm at home, in the dressing gown, coughing.... with less vigour than I was a week ago, but coughing nonetheless.

and yes I am having a trunk show , you know, just like Amy butler...if she were shorter, older, fatter, less talented and living at my house coughing up internal organs .........

yep ! Exactly the same

Glad you're feeling marginally better, there's certainly no fun in coughing! Hope you're staying warm...

I was just wondering about you lastnight. I hope you're on the mend and will be back to your old self very very soon. We miss you!

Jo in TAS said...

I think I've gone out in Sympathy for you, I kept my DH awake last night coughing and now my head hurts. I want to go home and curl up in bed! As for the trunk show your gorgeousness and creativity far outshine Amy Butler's any day of the week, even a sick one!!
Hugs
Jo

Talent is just like beauty - it's in the eye of the beholder! And YOU'VE GOT IT GOING ON, GAL!!!

So glad you are feeling a tad better Jod, and delighted that you haven't lost your wit along with those vital organs! LOL

Congrats on the trunk show! Having seen your marvelous creations in the flesh a couple of times, I know Australia is in for a treat! :-)

Hugs! Vikki xoxo

Hi there - hope the improvement continues. If you get all this happening while you are sick you are definitely a whirlwind when well!!

Take Care

simplestitches said...

Just thinking about you earlier....and here you are. Glad you feel a tad better...at least you haven't lost your wit (just internal organs...they are replaceable, aren't they?)
Can you have a trunk show on this side of Melbourne sometime, please...pretty please? Cos I would love to see ALL of your stuff.
keep on getting betterer!

I hope all iinternal organs have stayed intact with that horrible cough lovey. have been thinking of you. xx

Farmyard Crafts said...

I hope you're starting to feel heaps better really soon. :(

AnnieO said...

Well, if you have to cough up something, choose your spleen--you prolly won't miss it! I have no idea what a spleen even looks like, so take pics when it does come up, won't you?

Love the selvage chair!

Bearly Sane said...

Hope there's no fur balls in there with the organs!
Nuthin' worse than a lurgy...get better soon.
Warmest Hugs,
Sandi @ Bearly Sane

jojoebi said...

Glad to hear you are feeling a wee bit better, I hope you manage to shake it or cough it all out soon,
take care xx

m.e (Cathie) said...

i hope you have a few organs still left in there.
wishing you get better soon

Locket Pocket said...

I have actually met amy butler and she was lovely but I'd so much prefer to meet you Jod! So hurry up and get better, buy that winning lottery ticket and get yourself over here for your UK tour! Your adoring fans await you! Locket xxx

Clair said...

Pheuy, who needs internal organs! You cough 'em up, girl.
And no disrespect intended but if I had to choose betweeen you and Amy........
......sorry Amy, it was nice knowing you.

trash said...

Well Locket, having actually met both Jodie AND Amy (first name terms with both of them me ;-) I suggest that one of them would be more funnerer than the other on a girls' night out (or in) (or somewhere in the middle) (or ...)

Annie said...

Yeah for the trunk show - what a star!

Copper Patch said...

Sending healthy thoughts your way. Take care and tell Ernst to look after you.
Ab x

Gina said...

Eeeek Jodie. Should I be sending the infectious diseases doc your way? He specialises in TB... perhaps you could just post one of your lungs in for examination next time you cough it up.

Get well, dear thing.

Kitty said...

Seriously gorgeous chair Jodie. So sorry to read you're still really poorly ... sending UK-flavoured get well vibes by the dozen. x

Tanya said...

Unlike Trash, I haven't met 'em both but I reckon the short (er) one is pretty fun and lovely despite currently coughing her guts out xx

ladydi said...

Glad to hear you're on the mend. I'm still saving selvedges for you if you change your mind and decide to make another chair or something equally gorgeous.

Sue said...

Even coughing you shine! Hope you're feeling much better very soon.

susan said...

I really miss your cheerful inspiring posts....Like many others I am hoping that you recover quickly. Take care.

Susan

Emma said...

Cough up all the organs you want but keep your liver...it means that you can still drink alcohol. LOL
Get well soon
Rebecca

Nanette Merrill and daughters said...

Oh my gosh. I can't believe that chair! You totally outdoo yourself every time.

Jody Herbert said...

Hope you feel much better really soon....it's not nice being sick!

clare's craftroom said...

Glad to hear you're feeling a tad better , poor thing .

Fer said...

Nice to see you've still got your sense of humour though. Hopefully the trunk show will help continue to lift your spirits. :)

Jindi's Cottage said...

Hi Amy, oops! I mean Jodie - he he he
Glad the cough has abated even if it is only a little, hope you are generally feeling less crap.
Congrats on the trunk show.

SewObsession said...

Get Weller ^_^ soon
that chair is very neat......

Charlotte said...

My three kids all had whooping cough last fall and it SUCKED. There's just no other way to say it. My youngest was 9 months old so there was a whole other level of fear and scariness than just the horrible coughing. The kids would cough so hard that they would vomit. So much for that series of four vaccinations, eh? It was awful.

Also, not to rain on your parade, but the cough lingered for MONTHS even after they were feeling fine. Mentally prepare yourself to be headed into October with a touch of this still hanging on.

I really, really sympathize with what you're going through. If there's anything this Stateside Mama can do for you, well, you just let me know.

Thimbleanna said...

Oh Jodieeeee! I'm sorry to hear you're still sick -- but glad it's getting better. Hope there's not much left of it in you!

Kerri said...

Good to see you are out and about again getting your creative juices together. Hope your coughing gets better soon

Kim D. said...

The chair is adorable. Hope you're feeling better soon.

Tine said...

I'm sorry you're feeling bad...but...wait....go sit in your chair!! It's so flippin' gorgeous I'm sure it has healing powers ;)

Michelle said...

Oh Jodie...
I can't believe that horrid lurgy is still visiting you...
I wish it would just get on it's bike and take a ride...
Doesn't it realize that you have projects to do...places to go and people to visit...
Regards...and get well soon...

jenny said...

Poor you, I had the whooping cough last year and it takes a while to get over. Look after your self!

Robyn said...

Take care Jod... my adult son had it in 2008 and it took quite a while... I know you don't want to hear that.
Get better properly.
..and yep I see what you mean about you and Amy ;P

hugs to you,
Robyn xx
