The Ekka is on at the moment (our local country comes to the city show in Brisbane, Australia) and so we took the boys down last weekend for a day of fun!
First stop was to visit the craft section and see how we fared with our entries this year. My 6 year old son has entered his owl in the under 16 years machine sewing section - unfortunately they only awarded 1st and 2nd, and his entry was the only other one - a bit mean I thought given it's a kids section. But we told him he obviously came third - which is a great achievement!

My Burlap Owl was pipped at the post in the Toys section for some really lovely and very detailed fabric toys, this was quite a competitive section.

But my Hessian and Ticking cape won second place in the 'Wearable Art' category. Unforutnately the photos don't do it justice so when I get it back I will photograph it properly to show you. First place went to a very creative handbag made of old vinyl records and ribbons - wearable art indeed!
