Minnesota State Fair

~Minnesota Great Get Together~
D and I went to the first day of Minnesota State Fair today.
This was my first time to go there on the first day.
This year was special for me because I entered my SAORI piece for the "creative activities".
Almost every year, we go to the fair and I thought "Some day, I will enter mine."
And I did this year. Thanks to "S" from the Weavers Guild of MN. She told me to enter my work at the fair.
I entered "weaving shawl category". There are many categories you can choose from.
Since I entered at the end of last month, I didn't enter something big.
Anyway, the first place we visited was of course "Creative Activities" hall.
Wow, there are so many crafts, cannings and bakings as usual... You can spend a half day here. There were so many of them!
I found a show case that had woven stuff in it. And here is mine...
Red Ribbon!! "Second Premium" Yeah! I got a ribbon for my first entry.
Not only that, I also got Weavers Guild of Minnesota Award that is "Best use of colors." Wow! Two awards. I almost screamed right in front of my piece!
I got so excited.
I feel like I am now 100% Minnesotan?!
Anyway, that made my day. I didn't want to move from the show case, but well, I enjoyed the rest of the fair might as well. We walked a lot...
I feel so GOOD! Getting awards like this give me so much energy.
I fell like "I am going to enter more pieces next year!".
Let's be in touch and happy weaving to all the weavers.
