2014 Evergreen State Fair

This year's Evergreen State Fair went well. I thought I wouldn't have as many entries in the Food Preservation category because I hadn't done as much canning because I am serving a Family History mission for my church (LDS/Mormon) which takes a lot of time. But I was wrong...









All of my entries in the Baking Department did well:


I didn't make a new doll this year for the fair but entered my mermaid doll in a fish bowl with a story:


This is Arianna...I'm sure you've always thought it would be fun to have your own mermaid - especially a green mermaid like Arianna. But it isn't actually as fun as you might think. She doesn't seem pleased with anything we do for her. She has a lovely aquarium at home (this is her travel fish bowl) and we've filled it with seashells from the Atlantic to remind her of her home. And we even buy expensive frozen Mermaid food for her. She does sing for us but all of the songs are sad songs about lost love and faraway places. Lately she's been moping more than ever and she never even braids her hair anymore...









This year's theme was Animal Magnetism so I added some large farm animals that I ordered from Amazon.com to my dragon doll.

I took an online class through Doll Street Dreamers taught by Dawn M Schiller. This Pocket Fae is my first attempt to sculpt anything.

We entered photos, scarecrows, produce, and more:













And my name is engraved on the Pearl Hall trophy from last year:



Chienyi - Hoffman Challenge Doll 2014

In July 2014 I made and entered Chienyi in the 2014 Hoffman Challenge.
I made her in remembrance of the 230 School girls who were kidnapped from the Chibok Government Secondary School by Boko Haram Terrorists in Nigeria on 14 April 2014.. All 230 are still missing. #BringBackourGirls!
Here is a link to their Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/bringbackourgirls

The shawl is made from the Challenge fabric

Chienyi is a Nigerian activist hoping to make a difference.

I am proud that Chienyi made the Hoffman traveling group and is traveling in Trunk #C.
