Grace is Ready for the Schaghticoke Fair!

Here is Grace with all her "creations: for the fair. We're hoping for at least one BLUE RIBBON!
You can see her first knitting project over her shoulder. She uses it for a rug in her Littlest Petshop House. She is holdinig her Cape Cod Beaded Chocker Necklace. It has a little silver whale we got 2 years ago on Cape Cod after going on a Whale Watch. She just re-made it for th 3rd time (the plastic elastic thread keeps breaking). She wore it EVERY DAY of 2nd grade - really LOVES it. In her other hand is an acrylic painting she did with her best friends' Grandma. It is a husky and her puppy in the snow. There are paw-prints all over! Then, kind of draped over the picture is her first macreme project - a bookmark. The top of it has a little silver angel pendant that her Grandma Engel gave her. She is very proud of this bookmark. Later this afternoon she will do one more project - a pencil drawing - another "animal study". So she has five things to enter in the fair... Ingrid is working on Grandma Engel's HUGE Sugar Cookies (ala Kansas City Star). She as a number of crafts and 4H entries too. I have a bunch of crafts, preserves and baked items to enter as well. More "RESULTS" to be "posted" later in the week.
