Friday night we enjoyed the county fair and waited all week with anticipation to see how the girls entries did this year. I’d say we did really well. Below is Pixie’s mouse she made with the fabric she won last year at the fair for her apron entry. She won first place plus a special ribbon plus 4 donations from local fabric stores.
Princess also won first place for her skirt and 5 donations from local fabric stores. Needless to say we were thrilled.
Princess also won a third place award for her black and white pencil drawing. Now before you think we are not thankful let me assure you that we are very thankful for this third place award. I just thought that the judging was a bit strange on this. Below you will see the first place winner and even more bewildering is the second place winner. What do you think? The only thing I can think of is that the judges thought Princess traced this drawing. She did not. She did however use another drawing as the basis for this. After all, isn’t that what most artists do, copy something else they see? Or at least that is how they learn.
And finally some clowning around for your viewing pleasure.
Good job girls!

Awesome job by the girls, congratulations!
Hmmmm, is all I will say about the art work judging criteria. 
those other drawings were odd. hmmm very strange.
i love the sewing your girls’ did. very talented group i see.
Amazing sewing skills. So cool that you had them enter them at the fair. And I love the goofy picture. What a bunch of fun girls!
Congratulations Pixie and Princess! You did a awesome job. I am sure you are excited to “play” with all that new fabric you two won.
Have a GREAT day!

Those are AMAZING. I loved the skirt. It’s one I’d BUY for my girls. and I happen to have a 7yo who is crazy about mice, so she’d want that in a heartbeat.
and I agree with the question on the 3rd place. I bet they thought she traced it. But, you know in your heart she should of won, right?
Maybe they were going for a “different” kind of drawing (not a person, more boy-ish, etc)? I’m still trying to figure out that 2nd place one though…
No matter the place, all of your girls are VERY talented!
And the most adorable clowns EVER.
Hi,
Your girls are so talented. We’re lucky to color here…
