Yaaay for prizes!!
I just got back from this state-wide fiber arts convention. My class was small (only four people signed up!) but they did well and I think learned a lot. I’ve forgotten how draining it can be to stand up and talk for hours and hours. A lot of people expressed interest, and some of them are talking about hosting me for workshops, which is very pleasing. I enjoy teaching.
The Orangeganzine took First Place in its category, Handspun. And the medallion ribbon took BEST IN SHOW!!
It was not a tiny show. I was floored. There was some amazing stuff there.
And, on an also-very-cool note – they were CASH PRIZES. The coordinator was handing out the envelopes, and I didn’t realize they were checks – she said to the crowd at large, “And if any of you were wondering if Best in Show is like another first place, or if it’s more… it’s more.” I thought she was talking about how it was decided, like if it ranked with the others… but it was more, in the envelope. Wow. I’ve never won a cash prize for my weaving work before. Of course, I promptly spent most of it on books, tools, and prezzies. And cocoons!
wow. that orange skein is gorgeous!
congratulations on all the winning. you deserve it.
Congratulations! What a great weekend for you all around there.
And spending those well-gotten gains on more of your hobby is probably part of the point.
Congratulations!
Oh my gosh, how exciting! Congratulations.
Okay, I just clapped my hands and squealed in pleasure for your wins!!
So VERY pleased to hear of your good fortune!!!!!!!
Congratulations!!! 🙂

I never did hear how it went with the microscope and the book – things going along alright with that?
Woohoo!
Congrats! You certainly deserve it!!
*sigh* It’s been put on indefinite hold. The school has already paid probably thousands of dollars on the equipment but they’re waiting until they can afford a graduate student to monitor the use. Until then only the professor is allowed to use it even though it was supposed to be a major part of our exam. 🙁 I’m sorry.
Ah, bummer! I do hope they get someone in there to work with you on it. It sure sounds like it would be fascinating!
Mazeltov, handsome!
Three cheers for the king!
Hurrah! Hurrah! Hurrah! I know that orange would do well.I’m happy it went so well.
Way to GO! =) Fabulous!
