Well, It's that time of year again. The Topsfield Fair is coming. This is a tradition in my family since before I was born. We go every year. I think in all my 33 years I've only missed it twice. That was during those teenage years when you are too cool to be seen with your family. Anyway, I just received my entry book. Yes, it's a book about the size of a small novel. I have been entering things in the fair for the last 10 years. I have even placed 1st twice, 2nd twice, and 3rd twice. I usually enter knitted and beaded objects. The first year I entered it was crochet. I had made everyone in my family afghans and my brother let me enter the one I made him. I am still looking for the pictures of them. If I find them I will post some. This year I have a felted purse and a bracelet that I am hoping to have finished by the deadline. I have to have the entry form in by Sept. 8th. The finish piece has to be in on the 27th. I am also debating on whether or not to enter the apple pie contest this year. I make them every year for thanksgiving and everyone says they are yummy.
My boys even get into the fair spirit. Soccer boy has entered the pumpkin decorating contest for the last 4 years. He has place 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. He loves doing it. He says he even doesn't care if he doesn't win anything. This year actor boy is old enough to enter one. He is already starting to think of what to make his pumpkin. The rules state that the only one allowed to decorate the pumpkins is the kids. They can not have any help from anyone.
When I get everything finished I will post some pictures.
On other knitting news. I still working on that kimono. I have one side of the front done. I haven't been working on it because I want to get my MasonDixon swapcloth knitting finished. I've finished one but I decided that I wanted to make at least one more. I can't post any pics until I send and out and know my partner has gotten it. After that I will post pics.
O.k. well, I gotta get back to my knitting. Hope everyone is enjoying the end of the summer.
