The county fair!

Hi Ya'll. You know I don't think I've ever used the word ya'll. This whole county fair thing has me being a real country gal. Last night we went to the Ozarks Empire Fair. We had a ball. I thought I would show you some pics of the exhibits we enjoyed. Mostly rugs, some quilts and cross stitching, etc.

This next quilt blew my husband away! He's still talking about it this morning. We can't tell exactly how she did the faces. Are they printed on the farbic, like a transfer?

Do you recognize her? She's mine and she got a second place ribbon!! Talk about humbling.

We loved the cardinal. Hmm... that would go in my house. I'm so sorry the names of the artists didn't show up in the photos.

We've got talent in these Ozarks hills...

This is Renee's from our hooking group. I love proddy but haven't done it yet.This is hers too. A girl after my heart... a pink lamby. I'm such a girl. LOL

Best primitive design. I love it!

OK, this blew ME away.... my dh (Mickey) said, "hey Sheri come down here and look at this rug... it has three ribbons on it.......... AND IT'S YOURS!!!!" Really, I almost fell over when I saw it. I totally did this for fun with NO expectations of a ribbon. This rug hangs in our living room and I told him I'm keeping the ribbons on it when we hang it back up!

A lady in a nearby booth heard me squealing and offered to take our picture.

Ok no more bragging, but I've never won anything in my life. Back to the other talented artists......the next group is collage and painting.

We ate foot long corndogs..with a diet coke ...it cancels out the calories you know. Then I had to have a funnel cake, but we ordered it on the way out of the fair. It was too hot to sit on my lap, but I managed.

Great fun for a couple of old folks on a Friday night. If you have a county fair near you, by all means go. If nothing else to look at the people. That's a whole other story!!

Take care and...

Let the beauty we love be what we do.
