That photo in the upper left corner is my pile of State Fair entires, turned in on Monday. As expected, my sewing entries were pretty much an utter failure. I got nothing accomplished. Well, that’s not true either.
Things I accomplished instead of sewing dresses:
1. Ran a half marathon. Over the course of four days. I know, BFD.
2. I found some amazing cheese. Really, that should have been number 1.
3. Had a really short Vic Mizzy shoot in the blistering heat in the middle of a field in the Kettle Moraine. It was almost like being under that dastardly Tuscan sun.
4. I paid some kid at Kinkos $5 to cut 10 pieces of black foam board into 12×14″ rectangles. I know I only paid him $5, but I would have been willing to pay A LOT MORE for pieces that were ACTUALLY 12×14″ and, you know, not crooked.
5. Set a 2010 record for dollaz at the East Side Green Market, which is still pittance compared even to a so/so week at the Market last year.
6. Managed to turn in 11 of the 13 pieces for State Fair. 10 photos and one dress.
7. Got Vic Mizzy and BoltedMKE stickers made! Spend some money at the Market this weekend and you’ll get a few!
Some of the State Fair-entered photos are below. First two are my best shot at a ribbon!
