Here is the Daisy dress with the blue pinafore option. The blue one was dirty, so the yellow one went to the fair.
Little tid-bits from the daily hum-drum of life ... snippets that would otherwise most likely be forgotten.

Kosciusko County Fair
On a whim, at the last minute I decided to enter some of my handiwork at the local fair, in the Open Class. I entered a dress with pinafore I made earlier this summer for Isabele, a Irish Lace Scarf that I knitted during this past winter and a little smocked bishop style dress that I made late last summer for Isabele. I didn't think I'd place or win anything. I was wrong. I got a First Prize (blue ribbon) on each of my entries and the Daisy Dress with Pinafore also won Grand Champion (a purple ribbon). I'll be sure to photograph these items when I bring them home on Monday - that way I'll have a permanent example (as I'm sure that at least the dresses will be well worn and passed on to my sister for her kids).
If you know anyone who does any needlecraft, it would be great to see some more entries in the Open Class at the fair next year. It's free to enter.
