Oops I’ve pretty much fallen off the Blogtoberfest wagon……… Well done to all those who have managed to post each day. And a huge WELL DONE to Tinniegirl and Curly Pops for their initiative, organisation and hard work!
And what have I been doing? Well I had a FABULOUS weekend away at Sewjourn with some girlfriends from church. There was much chatter, lots of laughter, eating, sharing……and a bit of creating as well.
It was a glorious day for the Farmers Market on Saturday.
Followed by a frantic week of car buying (yes, I finally have my dream car – a Honda Odyssey!! I figure it’s the people mover we need without being a bus) and holiday organising (off to Byron Bay tomorrow in the NEW CAR – just as well don’t think the other one would have made it that far!) and work (still so far behind) and well…….no blogging.
But, I do have a giveaway! In September I had a giveaway to celebrate one year of Sewjourn and four girls won the chance to come with a friend and spend a day sewing at Sewjourn on Saturday January 30th. Unfortunately one of the winners emailed me to say that she can no longer come along on that date (she was extremely keen to be travelling down from NSW anyway!) SO there is now ONE MORE SPOT AVAILABLE. Simply leave me a comment on this post if you are interested in coming to spend the day crafting awayand relaxing and enjoying with like-minded souls on 30 January. And you can even bring a friend. It’s sure to be fun…….last year we had a ball. Leave your comment by 1st November but I can’t promise when I will draw a winner – it will depend on internet access availability…….and if I can drag myself away from the beach to the computer!
Now must go and pack, and finish that last overdue block for Around the Block……..and get some sleep before the big drive.

Have a great trip, great car it looks fantastic, I am running a book on how many patchwork shops you will visit on your road trip, looking forward to seeing all the new fabrics. PS did you do the blocks in this post. I love the effect and in particular the colours

Best wishes from one Jan to another.

I laughed that ‘creating’ was fifth on the list of what you did on your weekend at Sewjourn. I guess it is all about priorities!
I think falling off the bandwagon and into a new car and off on holidays is completely OK! Have a great trip.
And I am definately interested in a day of creating or chatter or lots of laughter or eating or sharing at Sewjourn. What a shame that someone had to pull out and miss out.

Oh you DID get the Odyssey! What colour? (I’m all about the priorities too).
