The Fair!!

Today, I went to the fair to look at the needlework (and to see how I did!). There were less than 2 dozen afghans, but most other categories had even less than that.

Doilies - 2nd, and 3rd
Polish Star potholder - 2nd
Tunisian pillow - 2nd
Sweater - 1st
Baby dress - 1st

I made a pair of booties to match the baby dress, and couldn't find a place to enter them. There was a sweater, hat and booties category. Anyway, when I dropped things off I asked for them to be displayed with the dress, which they did. And today I found booties with placement ribbons. So I went back through the many pages of Department, Section, Class and found them under Socks, Slippers & Booties. Ah, well, I know for next year.

I entered 8 items in the fair this year. Last year I had plenty of projects around and I just had to gather them up. This year most of my crocheting was sale items, or for classes, and had very little ready to go to the fair. So I found myself in the last few weeks trying to complete items for the fair, while starting back teaching and working. So today it came to me that I could plan on making 1 item per month, and by next September I'd have plenty of things all ready for the fair!
I should start this week, because I'd like to enter some things in the State Farm Show again this January.

Great experience!
