County Fair Fun

I always enjoy entering sewing items in our local county fair. And I love to walk around looking at the textile displays to see what other people have been sewing and knitting. I feel so honored this year to have received 6 blue ribbons on 9 of the items I entered, including 2 "best of show" ribbons. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with the "woolen article" trophy that I received for my blue socks, but someone did suggest using it for a bookend. :-)

One thing I've never done is to enter any sewing projects at the state fair. Our state fair is going on right now, and I hope to visit it one day next week. I'm sure to find lots of inspiration for future projects!

    I'm unable to update it because I don't know HTML and I'm not able to get front page to upload for me any longer. I thought about just deleting the page all together, but if you want to see it, I'll leave it up. My e-mail has changed. It's now thepalmerpeople at verizon dot net.

    Micki
