GREAT WEEKEND

The weekend turned out really great. I entered the Village Show ~ Handcraft section for the first time. Was so suprised to win three classes and recieved a Highly Commended in a fourth !

Winning classes
Cross Stitch - Stretch from TW
Needlepoint - A piece canvas work piece based on blues and gold
Patchwork - A crazy patchwork cushion ... Gone a little mad on this and embroidered over the fabric.

By coming first in three of the five classes I also won the Handcraft Cup , although this turned out to be a tankard which amused the chairman of the counci who was handing out the prizes.
The tankard will be with me soon after my name has been engraved ;)


On Sunday spent time helping DH with his German railroad layout all based round a fictious area of the Mosel Valley. We both enjoy our visits to Germany so spent time talking about how it should look, the elements which it needs to give the right feel.

We also went for a stash buying session at DH's favourite european train store ... It was a short drive down to the coast !!!

It is currently standing in our kichen while DH starts laying the cork and track. He would like to get this to exhibition standard. I have agreed to spend weekends going round exhibiting it with him :)
