Fair fun!

Well I had a great fair this year! 

We demonstrated Handspinning and Knitting on Sunday.

This is last years pic as I forgot my camera. Gwen was ill and couldn't come and it was nice and warm, so no sweaters. Otherwise everything is the same ;0)

    I love the fair! Always envious of those who can create/craft. I like to think I craft with words on my blog. 😉

    Visiting from the Wonderful Wednesday blog hop!

    Congratulations on all those ribbons. Our local fair limits our craft entries so you can’t win that many. I am not even entered this year.

      At our fair you can enter as many in any class you like but only one in each category, and there are so many to choose from. Actually these are the fewest I have entered in years :0)
