Orange County Fair 2016

The Orange County Fair has is coming to town! This year is a little different from previous years. They've been getting so many entries they've had to add a whole extra round of judging just to decide which stuff will be shown at the fair.

 I got my results back and here is what I will be showing:

 My crocheted rose and cactus made it into the fair...

So did the dress I made back in December...

And my knit lace shawl...

Lastly, you may remember these two little guys from the Newport Beach Art Exhibition last year. I decided to give them another shot by entering them in the fair, but alas, they didn't make it. I tried entering them in the Visual Arts category, which had over 6,000 entries. I'm not too disappointed, given how tough the competition is this year.

I'll let you all know what the final results of the fair are. Happy summer!

Orange County Fair Results!

My Sweetie and I had a chance to go to the fair this weekend and here is what we found in the craft and hobby department!

My wedding dress won second place in its division!

Here it is with some of the other dresses that were entered. I especially love the Day of the Dead and Oogie Boogie costumes on the far left!

My ruby slippers and Cinderella shoes got 3rd place and honorable mention!

I'm really happy with how well I did, especially beacause of how good the competition was and how many entries there were!

The whole fair was huge and there were so many cool things, we want to go back again!

With cotton candy wishes,
