Blue ribbons!

We won! I got a red ribbon for Kate's green sweater...




...and a blue ribbon for my red sweater! Wheee!




(They buttoned it crooked.) Doug just pointed out that there's a yellow ribbon on the sweater, too. Neither of us noticed it while we were there. I have no idea what it says! (Edit:) Zoomed in on the original photo--it says "Best in Category." Surprise!





Doug also won a blue ribbon, for his leather pouch.




Doug originally made this hoping to sell it. He has some detailed photos and comments here.



Andy checks me out while Doug checks out the other leather pieces.

I have more pictures from the fair, but just wanted to get these up tonight!

Congratulations to both of you on your wins!

Our county fair is coming up; maybe I'll get brave enough to enter some photos or a scrapbook page.

Heidi said...

That is SO cool! I hope to be brave enough to enter something into the fair someday.

The sweater is beautiful!

You guys are one big bucketload of talent! Congratulations on your prizes! And knowing that's just a sliver of your talent? Amazing!

Kathey said...

WOW! I'm so glad you both entered the fair. So with the best in category, does that mean you get to go to the state fair? I regret that we didn't make the effort to take your puppets up to Columbus to the state fair when you were in 6th grade, or whatever year that was. If you have that opportunity, GO FOR IT!

Love, Mom

Great job! You are so talented!

I don't think we exactly have a state fair. This is the big fair for this area.

Mega Friends said...

Yay! Congratulations. Although I have to say it's no surprise, you are so darn talented at everything you try.(This is Bronwyn by the way, I just noticed it's Townsend who's signed in)

Congratulations! Obviously, you should enter stuff in the fair more often. :)

Congratulations on all your winnings! Another example of how talented your family is! Just wait until the kids are old enough to enter their creations.

Well done, guys. What fantastic creations.

Betsey said...

Yay for blue ribbons! Now the sweaters will not be jealous of the bag and vice versa.

Becky said...

How exciting!! I can't wait to see how creative Kate and Andy are!! It's in their genes.

Kirsten said...

Congrats to both you and Doug! It is such a thrill to see that little ribbon on your item, isn't it? I've entered photographs in the past and it is such a rush!
