blue ribbon day

I won first prize! At the State Fair! in class 102D77. Woohoo!
(More details when I can actually check out the scene properly, as opposed to sneaking in to look at stuff while everyone else is paying attention to the Open Pantry judging.)

the bloo ribbon in question

It was awarded for a cross-stitch (about 18"X12"), of which a fuzzy picture may be seen here. Maybe I'll get randomdreams to go a-fairing with me; if so, count on seeing a picture of the framed piece, complete with SHINY RIBBON. Ahem. Sorry. Just can't remember the last time I came *first* in anything. I generally avoid such direct competition.
