LOOK WHO WENT TO THE FAIR!!!!!

Last Friday evening Baby Cat and I went down to the Multnomah County Fair, and we took a few of our friends with us.  We didn't go down for the rides or the food, the fair hadn't even started yet!  We went down to enter some of our handmade stuff in the Fair to see if we could win some prize ribbons.  

I entered several of my dolls including Kaari, Hiapo, Caolainn, Eulalia, and Lena, with all of her clothes.  

Kaari and Caolainn were much admired and got high scores, but alas, no ribbons.  

Hiapo won a First Premium blue ribbon

My ribbon says "Youth" on it.  Now I don't know if that's because I look so young (har-har), or if the judges just made a mistake?  Anyway, I'm keeping it!  Hiapo is very excited!

Eulalia came home with a Second Premium red ribbon.

  Eulalia is so happy, because red is her favorite color, just like Momma Cat!

Lena's Christmas outfit also won a First Premium blue ribbon

If you think this is exciting, just wait until you see what happened to Baby Cat!

Captain Jack won a First Premium blue ribbon and a Best of Show rosette! Not bad for a pirate, eh?

Baby Cat also entered her special new doll in the fair. Her name is Queen Lorena, and she was finished on the bus on the way back to Portland! Baby Cat will write a longer blog post on the Queen later, because she has a lot of detailed features that Baby Cat just made for the first time on this doll, and she is completely hand-knit on double pointed needles!

Queen Lorena won a first premium blue ribbon and a Best of Division royal purple ribbon. Her Highness looks very pleased with her success at the fair.

In addition to all of the ribbons and rosette, we each got a check, a gift card from Montavilla Sewing Center, and Baby Cat got a gift certificate for The Mill End Store!  Not bad for a couple of Cats, huh?
