Weekend Happenings

I hope you all had a great weekend. On Saturday morning we headed to our county fair, where Mike was participating in a 5K run...I went along to cheer him on and had a look around at the fair exhibits and animals.
In the afternoon, we cheered Stephanie and Sparky on at their competition...we were happy for them when they received a 1st place blue ribbon in their division...

Sunday, we took a trip to the Sterling Renaissance Festival and had loads of fun watching the stage and street performances such as Daniel, Duke of Danger and his balancing acts...

We loved the full-armoured joust and swordplay performance...one of the horses below waiting in costume...

...comedy and juggling by The London Broil Show was our favorite...

We also saw the pirate show, Johnny Fox the sword swallower, a knife throwing show, and a presentation of Shakespeare's Taming of the Shrew. There were dozens of artisans there demonstrating their craft and wonderful foods, including huge turkey legs! Great fun!

Yesterday I started on a camisole...I'm using the fabric from two vintage pillowcases...

...and I am just about finished with the bag I've been working on...maybe some pictures tomorrow.

Have a great day!
