I decided to enter some of my items from my shop into our county fair. I entered my red Faire Isle hat, a blue and white Christmas stocking (to be added to my shop very soon) and my Ligonberry Estonian Lace shawl. I am very happy as each earned a first place. But I was estatic to learn that my shawl had also won County Best in Show for Needlework AND qualified to enter in the Nebraska State Fair!! :) This is a first for me so please forgive my boasting.

My six year old granddaughter placed third in her age group for the pedal tractor pulling which also qualfied her to compete at the state faiir. I have never been to the state fair, so it should be very exciting...as well as very crowded! Keeping my fingers crossed that we both do well at the state level. As for my entry, I know that there are MANY beautiful items entered from across the state. I am just thankful to get the chance to enter! I will post here with an update. Thanks for allowing me to brag!!
