Just call me Bandit

So this weekend was the Santa Clara County Fair. I entered 6 stitched items. A friend of mine from the Embroidery Guild was nice enough to not only turn them in, but pick them up and return them. She came by this afternoon with my stash. Out of the 6 entered items, I won:

1 First place ribbon for a stumpwork dragonfly
3 Second place ribbons for: Ike's Xmas stocking, a autumnal themed spot sampler, and a silk and metal work sampler
1 Fourth place ribbon for a Xmas Doily
1 Fifth place ribbon for Joe's Penguin Xmas Ornament.

Not Bad!

I just thought this had to be shared:

This Friday night. We'll bring an entree of some kind. You'll need to make up salad only if you want some. We'll figure out what to make or bring with us later in the week. 8:00 PM work for you?

Joe's (psi_star_psi) response:
That sounds like a great idea. Jenny has a doctor's appointment tomorrow afternoon, where they will discuss induction, so we need to wait until then to make more likely plans.

Randy's Response:
Well, that's the last straw... I know that Army enlistment is down, but if W thinks he can get away with drafting pregnant mothers, it's time to move to Canada! (although I hear that Tikrit is lovely this time of year)

Needless to say I was greatly amused by Randy's response! And I really needed the laugh!
