I am surprised they let me enter the crafty people building. I know that all of the members of the crafty people sisterhood could tell I didn’t belong but luckily crafty people are usually nice to the craft-challenged and often take it one unnecessary step forward telling us how easy and fun crafty things are and that we should try them. I don’t think those people realize a) how bad I suck at crafts and b) how impatient I am. But it’s a good thing crafty people exist because look at some of the cool things they make!
I love this cake but for some reason it reminds me of Alice in Wonderland.
I thought this quilt was really cool, but my mom who is a really into quilting (and works at a quilt store and sells $10,000 embroidery sewing machines) commented that the quilt display was apparently disappointing. Maybe crafty people aren’t so nice after all.
Um, I don’t even know what to say about this display? Is it a “Whose Got The Coolest Knickknack” Contest? And why do half of the entries have a blue ribbon. I thought only one entry won the blue ribbon? Maybe fair contests are like little kid contests where everybody wins?
Sign me up for judging this contest next year!

I’ve considered entering this before, but then time sneaks up on me and I forget. Next thing you know it is the week of the fair.
I think you took my comment out of context about the the quilt display being disappointing. I love to see the quilts at the fair, it’s one of my favorite part of the exhibits and it is great to see all the different interpretations of classic patterns, etc. I was disappointed in how they were displayed this year. Some of the nicer quilts were too crowded together and, therefore, not showcased well and others difficult to see. I imagine it is difficult with the volume of traffic that flows through the fair and the fact that space is limited, but the local quilt shows do a better job of displaying the quilts.
