Yay! I finished the quilts/wall hangings, the photoshoot AND the photoshopping of the slides! They’re at Citizen’s Photo in Portland as we speak and they should be done tomorrow at noon which leaves me just enough time to overnight them to Eugene and have them there by the deadline!
For those of you who just tuned in, I’ve been working on my application to vend at Oregon Country Fair this summer. It’s super competitive, this is my second try at getting in. If you don’t know what Oregon Country Fair is, you should totally check out their website! You can find it here. It’s this awesome yearly event that happens in the woods of Veneta, OR….arts, crafts, music, vaudville, everything. Best festival I’ve ever been to EVER. Hands down. In past years, I’ve worked at the fruit booth in community village and also at the smoothie booth by the main stage but I’ve always wanted to have a little booth of my own.
K….here’s my slides in the order they’re gonna appear. They’ll project these up on the wall for a panel of judges and read a little description I’ve written of each one to explain what the heck is going on.
Ok. Slide #1
Slide #2
Slide #3
The End.
Fingers crossed for getting in this year!!!!!!! Send good vibes if you have any to spare. =)

I’ve been a busy bee working on my application for Oregon Country Fair this year!!!
My application is due in the office in Eugene, OR by Wednesday of next week…so I have to be done on Friday, take pics on Sat and have it out that same day. Yikes!!!!! Just like me to procrastinate to the last minute. I plan on making this one big one and 2-3 smaller ones. Anybody know a good (cheap) photographer in Portland? Here’s the start of the “big one”…..
Taken from this sketch….which was taken from one of my woodcuts I posted on here ages ago….
I think I like it so far….still debating on what kind of framing/border it needs. I’m thinking a solid dark thick border with a thin line of crazy patchwork running through it…
My sewing room is looking a lot more lived in…
I even hung some things on the wall, like this awesome vintage fold-out for broomstick lace projects. I like to imagine what these ladies’ lives are like. (The two college girls on the right are totally lesbians, right?)
Unpacking my stuff, I found this little felty virgin I made 2 x-mases ago….I hung her in the corner of the room that kinda freaks me out. I think her red eyes will scare any nasties away!
