Lock me up....please..

Seriously I have so much stuff to get ready before I go away in......13 days... I probably do need locking up. I seem to be using avoidance tactics to get out of doing what needs to be done, like today when I went out with mum for the afternoon but was in no rush to come home....hmmm well we were trying to find me some clothes.... I am a hopeless clothes shopper as I really love my jeans and a t-shirt. Its Ok though as we found a great new pair of jeans and some wonderful t-shirt type tops that are just a bit more interesting than a t-shirt. Yes, I am excited and very nervous, its been three years since I took my patterns and books to the USA and .....well, what if they hate me....
I guess you would all like me finish off the instructions for the May Noahs Ark Free pattern??? Keep your eyes posted, its not too far away... now I am going back to look at my suitcase and try to decide what I actaully need rather than what I have already got in it!
I took this photo of Vince the other afternoon when he got back from his wednesday morning ride. I was so pleased with the picture that I have had it printed onto a huge canvas for him to hang in the office, it looks really good. Cute knees dont you think!

Yes, I know I can hear you.....I am off to my workshop to finish the '_ _ _ _ _' block, there you almost made me say what the block for May was....naughty!
See you soon

yep nice knees.. I like men in lycra except in proper bike pants, dags always looks like he has a nappy on with the padded seat thing they have happening in proper bike pants! LOL what you actually need to take to the US is ME! LOL I told you the other day, they apparently have shops in the US and lots of them, so if you forget something (and you have been clothes shopping here) you can get it there! apparently there are lots of shops over there I have heard *W*
take care and can't wait for the next instalment of the ARK...

Forget the knees how thin are those legs perhaps I should take up bike riding now that would be a funny photo. Packing is best done the night before you leave other wise you change your mind to many times. Have fun.

Great guy with excellent knees. :-)
Hope you find time to have some fun before you goes... I love jeans and T-shirts too. Do you realy need anything else? LOL
And I will be back and look for the next block....I love them. Hugs.

Don't be nervous, how could they not like your designs!
Packing is such a pain, I always pack too much and then get there to find I've left something important at home - like my contact lenses!

OMG are you kidding me!! We, in the US love your designs!! Where will you be? I hope the weather co-operates for you while you are here.

Hey Lynette! I'm with Leanne - you pack just as you're ready to leave, or you change your mind too many times and take too much of what you don't need and forget the things you DO need! And you can always buy some new jeans and T-shirts in the US!!! Tee! Hee! Hee! Looking forward to the new block! Bear Hugs! KRIS (Tag Along Teddies)

lynette, your patterns and designs are SO beautiful, they will be a HUGE hit in the states. i for one want to carry them in my shop. there are 6 of us here doing the noah's ark block of the month and i have promised, promised, promised to get your patterns into the shop. if you ever need to set up stocking patterns here and distributing them i'd be happy to help and have a good background for it. waiting to hear where you are going in the states, have a safe, happy and wonderful trip. patti

We in the states LOVE YOU!! (and all the other Aussie designers as well). Wish I could come to one of your shows....

Lynette I don't think there is an American stitcher who wouldn't kill for an Aussie pattern. Yours and those from the other designers are treasured here, like gold. Hope you have a wonderfully productive and business growing time in the States.

Lynette, don't fret, your designs are lovely, and the North American shops will love your stuff. How can they not. Hopefully I will see you there.

Clothes shopping - oh Yak, I hate looking for clothes as well cos I just like T-shirt and Jeans too. Fabric shopping is another story! I could live in my local quilt shop.
'USA - here she comes' - who wouldn't love you - your designs are fab. Have a great time away,
Quilty Hugs to you

Me too - I hate clothes shopping and I hate packing. I'm going back to making my own clothes so I can get them right and I agree - pack at the last minute, it's such a waste of time otherwise. Have a great trip.
