Blowing my own trumpet!!!!!

Forgive me for "blowing my own trumpet" but I was tickled pink yesterday.  I had entered some of my goodies in the Queen Camel & District Horticultural Society's Annual Show.  When we went along yesterday afternoon I was amazed to find that I had won four 1st prizes, one third prize, two "best in show" rosettes and two silver cups.................. you could have blown me down with a feather!!

I had entered my nuno felting on silk scarf, a free machine embroidered bag, a mixed media painting of a sunflower, a dish of cherry tomatoes (all of these got 1st prizes) and a Dorset apple cake (3rd).  Here's a photo of my certificates and rosettes - I have to wait for the silver cups as they have gone away to be engraved.

Well, I won't be posting much over the next seven days as I am off on a week's course to learn how to make stained glass at a lovely place called Dillington House........... hopefully will be able to show you a finished project at the end of the week.

Thanks for stopping by.
