I have been busy, getting things ready for the Craft and Quilt fair in about 10 days time. At this point I am about as done as done can be, and nothing else will get added to the to-do list.
Darla & Bean will make their debut at the show and are quietly nervous about the whole event.
The show is the starting point of craziness for me with a visit to Tassie to teach at Frangipani fabrics followed by two days teaching at Quilters Harvest in Warracknabeal (all before school goes back). It will be a crazy two weeks !
In contrast my sewing room is an oasis of calm - it had to be cleaned in readiness for a newspaper interview (and subsequent painful photo shoot). Connor was a little incredulous at the idea that the paper wanted to interview me and suggested the headline : "Middle aged woman does craft"
and indeed the middle aged woman does do craft.
Hi Jodie! I am soooo looking forward to seeing you! xxx Your sewing room is a wonderful place! Love the colour pops, the carpet is fantastic! Looking forward to seeing it in print!
ReplyDeletethat disrespectful boy wants a slap. You are a RockStar!
ReplyDeletewitness that awesome stripey awesomeness.
wow your room is clean and tidy. hope you haven't lost anything in the shifting, I always forget where I put things when I tidy.
oh I wish I was coming to your show! Hoping you have sufficient groupies for pictures of it in all stages.
all the crap got shoved in another room for the day ....
Deletearen't closets great :)
DeleteHow about, "Middle aged woman impales heads with impunity"?
ReplyDeleteHa ha that Connor made me laugh! You also deserve a medal for the state of that room.
ReplyDeleteI'd totally read that article!
ReplyDeleteSee you at Frangipani Jod! I'll always be a groupie so I'll get plenty of photos x
ReplyDeleteI'd have to work fast ditching my "stuff" for an interview/photo shoot. You're a star. :o) Well deserved too. I love the red/white striped platform for you display. You are Queen of Tools. I believe Darla and Bean will have very many fans!
ReplyDeleteYou are to young to be called middle aged, Connor needs glasses...
ReplyDeleteLol how cheeky is Connery and you will be awesome at them all Jods.xx
ReplyDeleteDamn auto correct that was suppose to be Conner
ReplyDeleteDarn right that's a story! good on you!
ReplyDeleteMiddle age woman does craft indeed... what's he like! I have tidy room envy

ReplyDeleteSeeing I couldn't edit, I deleted : Well done to you, Jodie! Connor is a wee bit cheeky.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you are going to have a great time with all your activities coming up over the holidays. But you will probably want another one before you get back into your day job.
A friend of mine bought Arthur Cabbage over the weekend. Her husband was quite taken with him. He will be dressed in blue to represent the mechanics who built the cars of the car club we both belong to. :) As someone who is not a regular machinist, I look forward to her comments on Arthur's footwear. :)
Ooh, looking forward to that article, Jodie! The state of your sewing room is amazing, even if all the crap is temporarily in a cupboard - my sewing room cupboard is full of crap and the room is still a mess. As for Connor - I'd be sticking a pin in him. You are a young thing still.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure Darla and Bean have no reason to be quietly nervous - I think they should be quietly confident instead.
ReplyDeleteDespite the fact that there appears to be a mole's head impaled on a spike on top of it - I recognise the pincushion as the same one I have - must be a favourite amongst the middle aged crafting community!
Hahaha -- I'm inclined to agree with Ms. Peppermint -- a slap may be in order LOL!
