In the fullness of time it happened that my workaholic ways were noticed and a holiday was ordered.
So that's how I now find myself the subject of a SHOWCASE !!!!
(Why yes I did organise a little bit of teaching during the aforementioned holiday).
Whilst the whole come and hear me talk and sign things makes me absolutely snort with laughter and look around to see if anyone has figured out what a doofus I am yet - I am totally looking forward to meeting Briony of Frangipani Fabrics for the first time, catching up with longstanding blog friends and pulling off the great "craft time while on holiday"swindle.
If you want to be part of the swindle you can go to the Frangipani Fabrics website and book online.
You can come and do some foxy sewing with me on Friday or come and hang out on Thursday night . I'll be bringing some stuff to show you and might bring a few disasters-in-progress. I'll dust off the frock and bring her along as well.
I have to admit to being a bit incredulous when Briony first suggested the Thursday night thing.... I am seriously the most boring homebody in the world and I find it hard to imagine people want to come and listen to me talk about myself.... Unfortunately I've been hanging around online for so long that adopting a new and exciting persona, complete with awesome accent is out of the question so I guess it'll just be me, being me.
If you were coming to chat with me about me being me and my making, is there anything you would want to know?
Whoo hoo!! A working holiday. Sounds wonderful. I hope all of Tassie turns up to see you.
ReplyDeleteIf I was to come and listen to you talk about yourself, it would just be nice to hear you talk - you know like you do here on the blog.
Have a great time.
It will be a sellout! I hope you enjoy Tas, we bought a block of land there on our first trip and are building a house on it at the moment.
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking you need a working holiday to the states .... ;-D
ReplyDeletealready in the works...... next year for spring quilt market with all my extremities crossed.
DeleteI am so excited, I'm doing your workshop at Frangipani and can't wait to meet you! All three of my kids are arguing over who gets the first fox ;o)
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to meeting you Jess - you'll need to make a little den of foxes...
DeleteI thought that said "pattern singing". you should do that.
ReplyDeleteI'd mainly want to hug you if I was going to be there. would totally get in the way of standing up the front giving a talk, having a lunatic Scot hanging off you, but you'd just have to put up with that.
If I was going to try and appear semi-normal and sit in the audience, I'd probably want to ask you about knickers. but that would be pants.
so I'd just ask you about the awesome backgrounds for the stories. and the heads on sticks. and how many lumpy horrors you made at the beginning before you got the awesome softies you get now. cos you know, you're awesome and all.
RockStar Jodie, the Tasmanian Tour.
bahahahha, I still make lumpy horrors - I just don't show them anymore.
Deletecongrats! you deserve a showcase! ta da!
ReplyDeleteYou'll have a fabulous time!
ReplyDeleteYou Rock! Have a wonderful time.
ReplyDeleteNow more people will discover what you're REALLY like, ha ha! Seriously, it all sounds great - you and everyone else will have such fun. How about a showcase in Ballarat someday?
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing boring about your talks, I have been to 2 and everyone will enjoy what you have to say get to know you! I hope a few more this time know what a blog is!!
ReplyDeleteI want to know when you will have a holiday in Perth so you can do it over here too!
ReplyDeleteHave a great trip - those lucky Taswegians!
Are people from Tasmania really known as Taswegians? As Glaswegian, from Glasgow I think I should know this!
DeleteWhen are you come to the Seattle, Wa. area so I can meet you and hear about you being you?
ReplyDeleteIt's all so exciting Jodie...you,ll rock the Apple Isle. I should tell Lanie
ReplyDeleteHow cool is that! (you couldn't sneak in a little detour to Launceston? he he he...)
