Montana Winter Fair

HAZAH! So for the first time ever, I decided to enter something I made in a fair. Today and yesterday, Lewistown hosted the Montana Winter Fair. I entered Matilda's blessing dress into the Fiber Arts competition. I also had a little booth of things for sale. I made a few sales and special orders. Best of all, I won "Best in Show" for the dress, and received as my prize an AWESOME wool (local sheep) rug that is crocheted and felted. All of the spectators were also invited to vote for their favorite entry for the "People Choice Award" which I was also very fortunate to receive! The prize was an adorable basket with several skeins of wool yarn, and lots of little sheep-themed goodies. I had a wonderful time and feel more "Montanan" than ever! :)

So a year ago it was cakes, then baby crafties, then just baby. Well, no cake here, but a new little baby crafty. :)

Photo update

Hi Matilda fans! I thought you might be interested in some of her latest photos. I've added them to an old album, so skip what you've seen. Thanks for all the love!!! Album here.

Christmas

We all had a really nice little Christmas this year. It was the first year ever that I didn't open presents until the PM hours!! Tilly had a nice day, and we all enjoyed talking to family. Here's a few pictures:

YAY! New toys! (She's pretty coordinated, she can play the piano with her feet!)

Matilda's Blessing Day

Our little Matilda was a perfect angel for her blessing today. We were so happy that Grandma and Grandpa could come. I was so happy the dress I slaved over for days and days fit. And we were all glad to enjoy some pinochle, even Tilly. It was a great weekend!! See blessing pictures here.

Catching Some ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ......

"Whoa..I ate a lot..."

"I don't want to have a nap."

And this pretty much speaks for itself...
