Hey, I won this third place ribbon at the Washington State Fair. Third place in a category with three entries + a participant ribbon? Pride of the Nicolai sisters. Well. Now that we have an idea of the competition, we're going to bring it next year.
Just a stormy, lovely day outside a hardware store in Tacoma.
Our chicken-raising neighbors keep us supplied with the most beautiful eggs. It's almost a shame to eat them.
I've been cat/housesitting for a friend way out in the sticks. It's been so stormy that I think this was the first night I saw an actual clearish sky sunset. Not too shabby, Yelm, not too shabby.
What category... Vague editorials that leave the judges wanting more, to choose from?

Ha! Yeah, I should have mentioned the category. It was needle felting, and I entered a felted narwhal I'd made for Catherine. It was a very last minute decision, and I didn't anticipate the judges very well. I don't think people really knew what it was, and the narwhal looked sort of sad and tiny in the case next to the other entries. But I have learned and will apply my new knowledge to next year!
DeleteAnd it is very pretty here this time of year. :)
Good jjob
