So I entered a couple of my crochet projects in the local county fair this year--first time participant.

Won a blue ribbon for the afghan I made for my hubby. The photo doesn't do it justice, and my husband even complained that they did a poor job of putting it on display...that's when I knew he was proud of my work.

In the close-up you can make out some of the leaves in the border. It actually has roses and our names written in a 3-D stitch. Guess I'll have to get a better picture after I bring it home.



Then there was my 'also-ran' entry of my kitty's couch.



Ironically, I believe the winner in that category are the Pooh and Friends that are sitting on MY afghan. Disney out-cuted me!!!
