In my world

One day a few years ago I "met" a woman called Vic when she won a giveaway on my blog, we once got to hangout for a little bit while I played hooky from my stall at the craft show. We laughed, with Jess and Kate and talked Teddy bears and hugging and food and kids and craft and preserved bread rolls
I read Vic's blog and she reads mine and we chat and we sometimes hello or "like' on bookface. In my mind Vic is one of my friends - she is just one I don't see very often.
Recently on my blog I mentioned my obsession with Little Red Riding Hood .

Badabing badaboom !

So Vic, just whips up a work of art....does the redbubble thing and has it sent to me! I was (and still am) totally floored. I have no concept of how works like this are created and you all know I have no drawing genes at all, but you know, the time folks and the effort and the thought-that's what kills me. And yes I do tend to get a bit Oprah when talking about blogging and blog community , and yes I know the shitty bits, but on most days, blogland and the people in it and their complete unbound generositywill go a bloody long way to curing what ails you.

Vic, you are a damn fine egg .

Thank you, I adore it. It elicits smiles every time I look at it and today it is off to the framers!

A wee favour.....

Hey guys, I was wondering if you might help me out a bit ..... In Sydney I met the awesomely fabulously talented Kate and was thrilled to find she is just as wonderful as her blog suggests. As an added bonus I also met her husband Mr Banshee.

Mr Banshee is totally husband-tastic ! He even came along to my little talky thingo and allowed me to make lots of jokes at his expense - what a guy !

( How gorgeous is this quilt pattern of Kate's?????)

Now, it would seem that Mr Banshee has written (a guest blog post) about how he found the Stitches and Craft show. He has some great man-ideas for improvement as well. Now I may or may not have promised Mr banshee that if he managed to write a guest post I would ask people to pop over and read it.... so if you have a few minutes why not pop over and leave him a comment - tell him Jodie sent you ........

(In fact add Kate's blog to your reader while you are there - you will not be disappointed)

In local news, Daylesford Makers market is looking for stallholders. This market is awesome.

It hosts great local (and Melbourne ) talent and is really impressive.

The next market is at the end of November so get in and apply if you want a stall -

Actually it sounds like the perfect place for a blogmeet ??? A bit of morning market shopping followed by a bit of lunchy / cafe time..... yes????

and me? Well I am doing the one and half weeks from performance craziness that involves lists and touch-ups and finishing off ......... and some total costume disasters.

So if you have a minute, pop on over to Mr banshee's post and give him hell !!!

Psst...... and one of my favourite places is having a giveaway ...
