The winner takes the fall

I have been meaning to blog the results of the Village Show, but I forgot ot take my camera to the show and somehow I've just been feeling really weird about the whole event...

I won 'Best Exhibit in Show' and a trophy which is currently being engraved with my name.



But not for my pie...



which came second out of 2!

And not for Ted, or my pincushions, or my knitting (which came 2nd again out of 2!) or my bag (which came 3rd!). No, I won 'best in show' for a painting! And another 'First' for a drawing!!

My little boy won a few prizes for his paintings too!


This has sent me into a little bit of self-doubt about my creativity and whether I should be sewing at all... Obvioulsy having a 'sewing room' and lots of fabric adds an extra guilt factor to any doubt I may have.

I bought myself a sketch book and some fabric paints yesterday (to cheer myself up) and thought wouldn't it be nice if I could combine my interests?


(the boys chose the stencils BTW! - I prefer free hand painting)

So I made these t-shirts for a birthday party for twin boys we're going to tomorrow..


Hope the recipients like them...

If not, my boys do!
