The fair opened











I got my fair entry results and was pleased with most of the wins. My pink Scottie dog got a blue, the sewn Barbie cape and pants got a blue, my blue doily got a blue, the small white doily got a blue, Snow bunny got a red, and the white crochet Barbie dress got a blue! I will post some more photos later AND show what didn't win a thing...LOL!

Fair entries










Here's one of my fair entries, for the crochet animal or toy category. I found this Snow Bunny pattern for free on Ravelry. I added a fluffy pom pom for the tail, a little pink chalk inside the ears and on the cheeks, and I added a little green basket for it to sit in. Turned in my entries on Wed and should find out Frinday how I did! (Mom is doing much better since her fall, although she still is in bed most of the day, it will take some time for the fractures to heal.)

Mom

Mom took a fall at home Sept 13 and has a couple of pelvic fractures. She was in the hospital a week and now my sister and I are taking care of her at her home. Hopefully she will be able to regain her mobility, but it is a struggle. Anyway, I don't have much time for blogging for a while!

Not a success...








I'm entering a catagory in our local fair for doll clothes and I wanted some pretty shoes for a Barbie doll. I don't want to pay a fortune for the shoes and I don't like the plastic ones I have so I attempted to make shoes....but I wasn't successful. Barbie's foot is so darn small and she has no toes to speak of, and the shoes won't fit. And they don't look so good anyway. Oh well, I tried!
