Last Saturday was the annual Rangeworthy Women's Institute Flower Show where villagers can show off their gardening & creative skills. Once again I was asked to judge the art & craft categories which is always interesting. Unfortunately, this year the fruit & vegetable entries were way down due to the awful weather we have had & a distinct lack of produce. Still, there were plenty of cakes, preserves, photographs, crafts & children's entries. I took a few photos to show you all - I was rather taken by the Swedish cross stitch picture, the patriotic quilt & the patchwork hen!
The scarves will all be donated to a homeless charity.
Beautifully hand knitted cardigans.
Jewellery & glass crafts.
Lots of artwork.
Veggie cup cakes!
Little wooden mice made by a 10 year old!
Fruit & veg animals.
Herbs & flowers.
creativity abounds

Well it looks an excellent turnout to me. The weather has certainly made things difficult in the garden this year, but on the plus side I have still got loads of colour in my garden, much more than previous years.
ReplyDeleteSuch lovely things - especially those hand-knits.

ReplyDeleteoh those cup cakes!
ReplyDeleteso much creativity going on everywhere, I know the financial situation has caused much hardship but on the plus side its really made everyone dig a bit deeper and achieve things I'm sure they never thought they'd be able to do (me especially).
Have a great w.e Jayne- hope the horses are well
