Hi, it's Mini~Dee, blogging for mom.  We just returned from spending the afternoon at the Bridgewater Fair.  We had a fun time!

Mom said I should tell you all about the project I submitted to the fair this year.  I crocheted a jumper for a doll my Grammie gave to me.  (She wrote about her love for me all over the doll's back and tummy!)

Mom asked me when we got home from the Conference a few weeks ago if I was going to enter anything into the Bridgewater Fair this year.  I wasn't sure.  I was still working on a poncho that has a lot of little squares that need to be sewn together.  Since that project wasn't complete, I really didn't have anything ready where I could say, "Yeah, sure mom, I'll enter whatevertheprojectnameis," I had to think if I could create something in time.

Mom asked me again as she was preparing her entry forms for the Bridgewater Fair.  I said no.  I still had nothing. 

When Mom went to the FEZA Trunk Show our crochet club had, I decided to stay home and work on surprising my Mom.  I rummaged through the goodie bags I received from the Conference and found two pretty colors of Creme de la Creme yarn by Coats. I grabbed my crochet hook and made the shirt first, then the jumper (complete with pocket), and then the hat.  Designing as I went, it took me about five hours to make the whole outfit.

When mom came home that day, she was happy!  And she liked what I had created.  She talked to the coordinator and asked if there was still time for me to enter into the Fair's competition, and she said yes.  So I did.  And I won a Blue Ribbon in the juniors division!
