Busy time of year....

I entered 15 things in the Central Washington Fair this year.  I was a little disappointed that I didn't get all blue ribbons this year, but there was some good competition.  All of my hats received 3rd place ribbons and my felted bowl also.  The purses received 1st, 2nd, and 3rd.  But the most exciting thing was that my crazy woven, freeform knitted and crocheted purse won Best of Show.  Yay!!  I've always wanted to win something like that so it was very cool.  You can see the purse in my first blog post.  Now I just have to decide if I am going to put this purse in the Holy Family Show or the Allied Arts Holiday Show?  I have a month to decide.  I need to get moving on my stuff.  I have a lot of purses to make before my shows. 

I am working on some rag dolls right now.  I have two of them hand stitched together and just need to finish them by machine sewing them and stuffing the darlings.  I will post pics tonight or tomorrow if I get them finished today.

Posting of my 9/11 display....

Well.....I can't say it exactly turned out the way I wanted it to, but I was in the middle of a time crunch so went with what I had.  I think it's okay but two of my people have very white faces which bugged me of course.  Here are my photos of the display I put up at school.  There are tags by each grouping explaining who or what was being depicted.

I've been working on some large flags for marching band so haven't had any time or energy for anything creative.  Today I am going to work on a quilted chair pad for my Mom's birthday present.  It's late of course but she understands.

I got accepted into the Holiday Art Show and Sale at the Peggy Lewis Gallery.  So I will be working on pieces for this and for the bazaar in November.  Busy, busy times.
