Greetings to all my dear friends in Bloglane: I hope you can forgive me for not sending thank-you's for your comments, it is so busy here with such a short season of warm weather, we try to get loads of stuff done, plus some things going on with my father in law.
Well I entered five items in the County fair last weekend, I did well at least I think I did.
I won First Place Grand Champion with my stitched With Thy Needle And Thread Birds Of A Feather, I did not expect to win anything above first or second place, I cried a little I was so happy.
One other Lady won Grand Champion but in a quilting division, her quilt was positively amazing.
I won first place for With Thy Needle And thread Cutting Paper Snowflakes. I won this ribbon in the senior division.
I also won first place for two beaded crystal balls, one in the Senior division and one in the regular division.
I won a first place for a purple bracelet, this was also in the regular division.
I will enter the two beaded Crystal Balls into the state fair and the two stitched pictures also this year.
I did have a finish I stitched the very small 40 count Tiny Treasures from Jeannette Douglas, ( it is a mini and I mean mini) last weekend, I bought a vintage looking chain to put it on.
Well tomorrow we are hosting a Priest from Iringa Tanzania Africa, we host him every two years, he comes to raise money for the School, Dorms for Boys and Girls so they may go to school, a clinic and a small hospital, we are very lucky to have him as a guest, Father Augustine Mbeche.
Well folks its time to walk the dog and get to bed.
I hope you are all having good weather.

Congratulations my friend. How proud you must be. Your work is superior so I am not surprised at all.
Wow Catherine...CONGRATULATIONS!!! That is wonderful. You did such a great job on all your entered pieces that I can easily see why you won so many ribbons. They were all so well deserved. I love all of your stitches especially Paper Snowflakes. That one speaks to my heart. I've been wanting to stitch it for a long time. Your jewelry is always so pretty and I can easily see why you won so many ribbons in that division too. Great job my dear friend.

Catherine, you have certainly been missed!! I'm happy to hear your keeping yourself busy during the summer. Congratulations on all your wins!! How exciting to receive Grand Champion, both WTNT stitches are gorgeous. The framing is so well done and really shows them off. I'm amazed at how you work with the tiny beads and that bracelet is gorgeous. Sweet new tiny stitch too!! I hope you enjoy the rest of the summer and it's not all work but lots of play too!
