Village Show update, the nation expects.

Who am I kidding? The nation expects nothing but the pressure here in the village is rising inexorably towards the annual gladiatorial conflict that is the Village Show.
Last year for the first time it would seem since 500BC the date was moved to early September from early July.There was uproar, inter-cottage conflict and and mutterings of boycotts.It was all about giving those of us who need time to gather ourselves a chance to think about it over the summer months and it seemed to do the trick. Lots of family input and a bit of a resurrection for something that was in danger of dying out.
I need to borrow some children,don't you just love the miniature gardens with the mirrors for ponds and everything looking a bit limp and wilty, and the animal made from a vegetable.The kayaker stormed home one year with his marrowsaurus.
Now to update on the state of play for this year's dovegreyreader entries.Three weeks to go and sock one is complete and hybrid version aka sock two is coming along nicely.They look short and broad and oddly random but then so do my feet.These will be the prototype Croc-Socks.
The quilting entry remains in a parlous and very unquilted state because, to be honest, I can piece all year round but hand quilting is a winter occupation.I plan to exhibit a past endeavour, probably my MacKenzie Star quilt or a Colourwash wallhanging.
I'll be up against some stiff competition to retain the W.I. silver salver awarded for highest points in Handicraft Classes 67-75 and am wondering if I can muster up something for another class to bolster my chances,
Class 71 Any hand made article...plenty of scope there
Class 74 Item of papier-mache...too messy
Class 75 Wrap a present for a lady on her 80th birthday, size of a child's shoe box...
am I taking this too seriously?
