After coming up with the idea in 2009, I finally acted upon it in 2010. I was determined to have a scarecrow in the Willoughby Scarecrow Contest. As luck would have it, my artistic sister was in town for 4 long weeks in the spring and she needed a creative outlet. So...I made the dress and Judith decorated it with the Celtic design. Then it all sat in a closet until the beginning of October when our Irish dancer began to come to life. I needed to reach back to my other-craftly ways to embroider the face and then, I needed to learn a new craft to create the hair. A pair of tights from Target and Maria's first pair of ghillies and we were ready to go! Our girl is strategically placed rather close to Burgers 'n Beer (wonder what that means). I do not know who won the contest (there are 3 divisions-family, business, & organization), but I shall claim victory just for getting it done!Monday, October 18, 2010

ReplyDeleteTop'o'the'Evening to ya, McPellie! She looks like a winner, if I do say myself! Your crafty ways should be deserving of that $50, but I agree, completion is a winning in and of itself! And you've moved on to the Prairie Girl, so success breeds success! Personally, I think the proximity to Burgers'n'Beer is so Mama can find her from heaven!
