The last part of July and early August was a fun time for me as I fulfilled a small dream I've had of entering exhibits in a fair for display and also competition...yes, I'm a competitive type! :-) The California Mid-State Fair was the venue, and I have a couple of friends who especially encouraged and inspired me to participate this year. So I did! I crocheted and rubber stamped to my heart's content for a couple of weeks after Spring quarter ended, and this is what I came up with...
My medium sized afghan (approx. 36"x 50"):
A pillow, inspired by my sister, Amy:
A handy, dandy potholder (Thanks for showing me how, Renee!):
A notecard:
And...my Greeting Card:
Then...I had to drop off my projects late in June and didn't see them again until we went to the fair to find out how I did in the competitions. The displays were awesome, well organized by theme and color. They were, however, difficult to find things by competition category, so that made it like a scavenger hunt~fun! :-) I did look for the winners in all the categories I entered, but didn't find all of them.
I was so excited to see what comes next...here they are in the order I found them:
I especially enjoy the time to be creative, but it is fun and exciting to see...5 (FIVE!) RED RIBBONS!!! Yippee!!!
