My family went to the state fair every year. I always loved it. I liked the footlong hotdogs. We could only get them at fair time then.
I used to compete in the home and family arts, which is food. My specialties from scratch: angel food cake, sponge cake, cherry pie, pumpkin pie, old fashioned sugar cookies, baking powder biscuits, and cinnamon rolls. I also do jellies and pickles.
I've only been entering gourds for two years. I kept growing them (a habit my grandfather started) and my husband said I needed to do something with them. So I've been looking for my nitch.
I'm glad you like the earrings. They turned out better than I thought they would. They are very light in weight.
The paper filigree (quilling) hasn't been mixed with gourds that I can see and the judges were a bit baffled by it.
Victorian meets Native.
Thanks to all for the compliments.
