Miss E was delighted to find that she had won prizes for all her entries and mr A also took home a place for his saucer. Miss E took home a grand total of $10 in prize money which she was super excited by. I also took home a few prizes :) 3 firsts a second and a third. I was very surprised! Especially with my first place for spinning! I've only been spinning for a short time and didn't expect to win.
I had made some baby shoes from some woollen men's trousers and added some crocheted flowers using Jessicah's beautiful silk/merino yarn (colourway Hydrangea - 2ply). I crocheted lots of individual flowers and stitched them close together in the hope they'd look a bit like hydrangeas. The have leather soles too. I'm hoping that once I've finished all this market crafting I'll get a chance to make some more.
well i must admit that your prizes don't surprise me at all. what beautiful work you do! congratulations on the ribbons (a + p shows are so old school and cool and those ladies know what they're talking about when they give out awards.)
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your wins! Those baby shoes are simply adorable, I love your crochet flowers - they really do look like hydrangeas :) I haven't been to an A&P show since I left home all those years ago. I remember they always had candy floss which was a novelty when you lived in a very small country town! x
