Blue Ribbons Everywhere!

Well not everywhere, but I got 5! Yeah! On everything I entered I got a blue ribbon, granted it's a small county fair and there were not many entries but still, I conquered my fear of being judged and my work being substandard. I am sure there are alot of people out there in craft land that have the same fears.

On the schedule for this week is helping my hubby get ready for the races. He loves Nascar and is going to the Bristol TN race for a few days. I made him hot dog chili, sausage dip, no bake cookies and cake for his trip and have embroidered a bag for him and hoping to get to the cover for a cooler thingy. I messed it up so I am trying to get it right but the bag turned out great! WVU none the less! I will post pictures as soon as I can fix my mistakes! LOL! Stay tuned!

County Fair Anyone?

Well, it's that time of year again, is anyone going to your county or state fairs? I decided to enter a couple of items in the fair this year. I wanted to get my nerve up and just do it, ya know! I have this thing about being judged so it was a big step for me, I hope people like what I entered and it gets my name out there. Here are a couple of things I entered, mostly in vintage sewing but a couple were machine embroidery and then I also entered my pumpkin mesh wreath!

Now I need to get ready for fall festivals everywhere! Looking forward to making some new things for fall and the holidays! It's always a busy time of the year around here!

Mesh Pumpkin Wreath

Haven't posted in a long time but boy have I been busy this summer!!!! I am dabbling in so many crafts this summer, it's hard to pick just one, I love doing so many but with the hot summer days I long for fall weather and decorating!!!! I recently saw a mesh pumpkin wreath I fell in love with and decided to make one and add my own spin to it! I really love how it turned out! It is really very easy although time consuming rolling all of the ribbons but I completed it in one evening! I hope you enjoy!!!!! If you would like to purchase one like this one please contact me at loveonaneedle@gmail.com. $99.99 for 18" x 18" completed plus actual shipping.
I am going to add simple directions in case you would like to try your hand at it too!

It took a total of 6 rolls of 5.5" x 30 feet of ribbon (I purchased mine at Hobby Lobby). I cut lengths of ribbon and rolled it and attached it to the stryrofoam base. I am posting a picture of the process too, in case you might need a visual of the process. Happy crafting everyone!
