Have a great week everybody!

I took a lot of photos of our veggies garden last Wednesday, August 12, so I can show them to my family back home. I'll share some of them in my next post so you can see our "Christmas Tree Eggplants" and "Christmas Tree Tomatoes"... as in we had to put rods and sticks on them so they won't fall on the ground.
I have some stitching works to do so I better go back to work now. Have a great week everybody!
And of course, Needlepoint entries are must-look pieces.
The Counted Thread Embroidery category is one of my favorite.
I so enjoyed looking at these handmade purses, as part of Sewing Category. They're way better up close and personal. And there were purses i n the Crochet and Knitting Catogories as well, unfortunately, I didn't able to take pics of them. That's something I have to remind myself on friday.
I had so much fun on my "Finishing Techniques for Stitchery" class. I met wonderful stitchers,!Some of the students are not stitchers but were brave enough to enroll in the class. There were a set of friends (quilters) and sisters (one of which is into crochet). Thank you so much for enrolling in the class ladies. I hope you had fun too, and will manage to use what you learned when you get home. I can't wait to see your completed pieces so please don't forget to send me a photo or 2.
DH ate more than I did... of course, as he had a lot of time to kill while I was in the class. I had "pork chop on a stick" and a big cup of iced tea for lunch... my favorite at the Fair. After eating, I managed to take a glimpse of my 2 jewelry entries at the Creative Arts & Crafts Division. My piece for the "Needle Constructed Jewelry" won 3rd place, while for the "Stringing Technique" won 4th place. I was extremely happy with the result coz I know how talented the jewelry designers in Des Moines are. I was just expecting my pieces to be displayed (not rejected), yet they'll go home with a ribbon. I'll just share the photos next time as the pieces were all displayed under a glass... inside the cabinets.
