We had a great day at the Fair! I love the fair & we go every year, but this year was super special. It was the first time that we had ever entered the Tapestry Competition. They have a huge Arts, Crafts, & Photography display that takes up a whole building. They have everything from painting, costumes, felting, pottery, to furniture, decorated Christmas Tress, to decorated themed table settings.
It was such a nice surprise to see that the two pieces that I entered won PRIZES!! The Sugar skull I made won First Place & The Giant Koi Fish won First Place & BEST IN SHOW for felting!! My husband also enter his first Photography competition & he won 3rd place! It was a winning day for the Mahuna household!
Felted Chicken Head was very proud of himself…. yea, right!
Won First Place… in POTTERY?!?!?! I’ll take it
The real reason I was there was to do a Demo of Needle Felting. It was so great to meet the lovely ladies that work for the Fair & I also got to meet and introduce tons of people to the craft. It’s easy to talk about & explain your passion! I just hung out & worked on my new Peacock piece. Definitely doing it again next year!
There was also a ton of Fun Stuff that I had to snap a pict of! There was a whole section of “Traditional Crafts” that had felting, needle felting, and yarn spinning! It was nice to see the craft represented!
Same Facts that I always share!! Good to know I know my stuff!
Some cute Needle Felted Pieces in the “Traditional Crafts” section!

Felted Chicken Head’s family reunion
Hello There… I’m Felted Chicken Head… Who are you?
And finally I couldn’t finish this post today with out mentioning 911. I remember exactly where I was & what I did the entire day those long 11 years ago. Just wanted to remember and offer prayers to all those who lost friends & family that terrible day, & to thank all the First Responders who risked and lost theirs lives to help save others. We Remember….
