Can it be that the Deerfield Fair has come and gone so quickly?
Most of the things I entered have been on the blog before: Rainbow Geese, Sashiko Pillow, Baby Hungry Caterpillar, and Improve Curves Table Runner all won blue {1st place} ribbons. The only needlecraft item I entered that hasn't been on the blog before is also somehow the only thing I didn't get a picture of. You'll just have to trust me that it also got a blue ribbon ;) {when I get it back I'll take pictures and post it properly. In the meantime, you can admire the pink tractor instead}
Underneath the red second place ribbon up there in the collage is a plate of pumpkin biscotti. Lesson learned - baking in the dark while trying a brand new recipe for a competition probably won't get you a blue ribbon, but the results are still good dipped in coffee. ;)
My boys brought home their fair share of ribbons, too. Son #1 earned a 2nd and 3rd for his photographs, son #2 earned a 1st for his pumpkin face and a 2nd for his snickerdoodle cookies, and son #3 earned a 1st for his pumpkin face and a 1st for his peanut butter cookies.
The four of us got our fried Oreo fix, and I found a new food love - chocolate covered bacon. Oh my, it was heavenly!

Congratulations on all of your ribbons. I think the Improv curves is my favourite bit.

I have a blue ribbon winning friend. I feel like a name dropper. I'm going to tweet this. :)
Interesting read thanks for sharing
