#57 - Show an item at the County Fair
Thank you for your comments about my 1001 list. I agree that it is time to put that list aside. I think I need it to be finished...what is done is done and what is unfinished can stay that way. If something is important enough, it will appear on another list somewhere.
Never-the-less, there are a few outstanding items that I would like to finish-up...show-off. Ahhh, the self-indulgance of the blog-world.
Last week I finally submitted my entry form to put something in the County Fair. Did you know that the book of things you can enter into a fair is called a "Permium Book?" And there are an insane number of entry options! I wish I had something really interesting like a sheep or a queen sized quilt or homemade jelly. Or maybe something I've never even heard of like a Duroc swine, or tole painting or lapidary or tatting.
I settled on two things I sewed and that were Fair-worthy, in my opinion.
Though not technically difficult, I believe my Mama's bag with the birds is well sewn with a lining and blind-stitched handles. It's also super cute, if I do say so myself.
I'm also going to submit one of these Reading Pillows. They have been used and loved and jumped-half-to-death. But I am going to re-iron and re-stuff one of them to put on display.
That's it for this year. Next year....cavys!
