There are ten sleeps until I head off to Minneapolis for Spring Market. Did I tell you that Mr Ric Rac is coming along ? I can't help a little sneaky smirk as I type this. He has NO IDEA !!! I keep trying to warn him of the magnitude of the whole event, and the squealiness of the blog friends and the feeling of exhaustion/exciting and the hit-the-ground-running nature of things.
When I told him today that I was excited to be getting into Minneapolis at 3pm because that meant I would be able to go to Joann's to get some stuffing and stuff some cushions on the first night - he honestly thought I was joking.
I also told him about the strange toilets, the upside down light switches and Maple Bacon flavoured milkshakes. He assured me he would take it all in his stride.
I'll keep you posted.
you plan to sleep? like every night? what a concept.
ReplyDeleteIt's all looking fabulous, you Rockstar you. Your roadie sounds very green. poor thing. as long as he keeps up!
He'll be fine - and so will you. I would like to be there though when he realises what a ton of stuffing looks like. Best of luck with everything and have fun.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like it will be a big learning curve for him but you'll be there to guide him every step (or stride) of the way.
ReplyDeleteMany congratulations on the fabric! Have a great trip.
ReplyDeleteWishing you all the best at Minneapolis Quilt Market. As a long time fan, I do wish that I could be there. You are one of my idols. Have fun and make a million!
ReplyDeleteJust fabulous! Wishing you the BEST....because you deserve it. Hope you have time to actually enjoy your time in the US. Post often....your fans love to hear from you!
ReplyDeleteLOL...........he has no idea poor bugger but I am sure he will survive.......how many years has he survived with you...........lol.....cyclone Jodie.....instead of a path of destruction it's a path of creativeness......have the most fabulous time and I can't wait to hear more on the blog.............
ReplyDeleteReally strange toilets, I had no idea. Oh well, its all for a good cause, so long as he avoids the dodgy flavoured milkshakes you are likely to only have good experiences...happy travelling.
ReplyDeleteHow exciting! Your panel dolls are so exciting! and the elephants, so cute too. AWESOME! Beautiful stuff. Looking forward to reading about your adventures.
ReplyDeleteThis makes me laugh as I live 70 miles from Minneapolis and I don't know about the weird toilets or light switches (I think they must be normal for me)...have a wonderful time...I'll have to look for you. ;)

ReplyDeleteSo exciting.... so exciting.... I sew understand the going to buy stuffing on arrival. that sounds like me on holidays just not at the biggest crafting gig in the universe.
ReplyDeleteThe dolls panels look wonderful too.
Weird toilets? I know the food is weird, super-sized and full of sugar, so maple bacon milkshakes do not surprise me (I would still have to have no other options and be starving to have one), but what is with the toilets?
ReplyDeleteOh Oh Ooohh! How cute are those panels - LOVE their little elephants. Hope you and Mr Ric Rac have fun even if it will be full on!

ReplyDeleteHow wonderful! You'll have a great time and Mr RR will have an experience. Yes! And the toilets! What the what!?! ~Carolyn
ReplyDeleteYou will have a ball and hope Mr RR survives it all.
ReplyDeleteWish I was going to I can finally say Hi! and gush at your genius in person! So happy for you!! My husband found Quilt Market very enjoyable, I just had to make sure he had good eats. :D
ReplyDeleteStrange toilets? I can hardly wait to get to Minneapolis. I am most certainly NOT bringing Mr. Poppyprint. I promise to squeal (you know, just to validate your point).
ReplyDeletelove love love the fabric,s...do you want fry's with that? and those supper size drink's, and yes the toilets that you b-m is soooo close to the water, all of these things will keep your husband, with a smile on his face, yes give us a home among the gum tree's......
ReplyDeleteHi Jodes, first Mr RicRac has to endure The Flight! Everything after that would have to be considered a doddle.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait for your fabric to hit the shelves. For a first timer, it is looking remarkably fabulous. And your dolly panels!!!!!! :)
We look forward to the Stories from Over the Seas!
He's in for quite a shock! Have a great time, sad I can't get there this time...
ReplyDeleteI hope you both have an absolutely wonderful time!
ReplyDeleteHubby and I spent a week in Minneapolis last spring and I can't say the toilets looked any different but then I'm from North America. Makes one wonder what toilets look like downunder that make ours seem strange?! lol.
