Contest Results

Good Morning, Well I put the dress in for the contest and the contest was cancelled due to lack of interest... I was the only one that bothered..so the lady at the show put my dress in the the regular part of the show and I got 2nd place.... thanks for everyone's nice comments on the dress. I was rather disappointed that no one bothered It does seem as if the show is getting smaller every year.. I hope more people take an interest next year.

New Day

Well it is Monday and I am I happy to be back at work after a VERY busy weekend... first it was my wedding anniversary and due to a new car and a few kangaroos and lots of complaints from my husband I have finished moving into a room here in Forbes so I dont have to drive through the gauntlet each night when I work, it was also the Forbes show weekend and lets not forget we had to go to the polls . We have gotten a beautiful new cheveron fabric in today and the weather is terrific... who could ask for more... I have the dress almost done for the show in Eugowra this weekend...  I will have to find another personal project and will also have to finish a couple of others around the shop when this is done and off the table. Well I wish everyone a very happy spring day.. Cheers

Well it is Tuesday and as of yesterday the contest is well under way. I have printed the photos and put them up in the shop and have had customers off and on all day voting for their favourite. The weather is still beautiful out side and I even walked to work this morning. I got so much done yesterday I was amazed. I even got the instructions done and printed for our new stitchery kit as well as getting them cut and packaged.I am including a photo of the new kit with this post. I didnt do much at home yesterday after work but I have good intentions for the work to get done tonight. Well I will go for now and wish every one a very happy day.
