I worked my tuckus off and this is my entry. It is quite a large piece...about 3 feet wide. In retrospect it looks a bit bare to me. Due to lack of time I had to cut some elements out. When the State Fair is over I will finish this by adding more animals and a garden and maybe a few puffy clouds here and there. This will hang in Picadilly's room. It is the very first thing I have made for her so far. I hope she likes it!
I entered several other items but didn't have time to photograph them. As I turned in my tatted pieces a crowd of ladies gathered to oohh and ahhh. Some of them had never seen tatting in "real" life before. Between the tatting and my ever blossoming belly, we were quite the spectacle.
I will know if I have won any ribbons by this weekend. It is all so exciting!
Here is my most recent belly picture. It is getting bigger everyday and I can almost hear my skin stretching...eeww!

Your tatted barnyard is wonderful!! And your belly is cute!
I hope you win a big ribbon and your little one will be even prouder of you!
Wow! Both for the tatting, and the belly :)
It's good to see you're looking so healthy!
I'm sure you'll inspire a lot of new interest in tatting at the fair, and get some well deserved blue ribbons to take home, too.
Oh, how precious! The hanging for Picadilly and your belly picture. My first glimpse of the long awaited baby. I know you have had a very difficult time and that you are anxious for Picadilly to make her appearance - outside of your belly! I know she will be perfect and lovely as you are. Love you, Lala
I think the picture looks good as it is. There is definitely such a thing as too much "stuff" in a tatted picture. Picadilly will love it.
How are you feeling these days?
I love your fair entry! Puffy little clouds will look wonderful.
It's good to se that Picadilly is growing so well! I hope you're feeling better.
It must be amazing to see this fabulous barn scene in person! I LOVE how you have put it all together. You somehow came up with this concept and this ambitious project in spite of feeling very much under par.
This definitely will cause a 'stir' at the fair, and will make many aware of a new 'era' in tatted lace. I fully expect a big ribbon on it!
It's also wonderful to see how Picadilly is growing!
Wow!!! Out-standing work on all your projects!!! Seen and not seen!! LOL
Beautiful Belly and Wow on the project. Perhaps you could add some of Martha's new block animals. Just thinking out loud.
I've been considering doing a scene for some time now. Haven't quite decided on What yet…Perhaps based on a poem.."Let me live in a house, by the side of the road, and be a friend to man." (my Mom's favorite poems were this one and one about Daffodils"
I'm glad you are doing better and I pray for you and Picadilly every morning and evening…
love you, Grams
The farm picture is just perfect -- for the fair and for Picadilly! You'll have to let her have the ribbon as well (it's bound to be a big fancy one!).
I'll be interested to see what else you entered -- I hope you're entering a rendition of your Royal Diadem -- that's knock-your-eyes-out tatting!
I think your baby photo is charming -- getting a nice round belly is a GOOD thing!
How wonderful to see Picadilly popping!
♥ Fox : ))
It's so good to "hear" you sounding better! - a few more weeks and your babe will be able to see the picture herself, that is exciting!
That Tatted Farm is sure to be a winner. And what a cute belly!!!
What a beautiful baby belly! Isn't it an amazing thing?
:)

Oh, AWESOME, Honey! Great for you...your little belly is so PRETTY!!
And I think that your barnyard is just perfect too. Of course you will fill it right up, and Picadilly is going to just love it...
The barnyard tatting is going to be very special for Picadilly. Wonderful news to hear from you.
I hope you are feeling much better and I just grinned from ear to ear at your belly picture. Glad to see the little one growing so well.
What a great tatting project for the fair - good luck!
Sherry,
You have nailed the farm perfect! I'm sure your little one will love it too. Thanks for putting me on your blog list. I have been following you from the start of my blog.
Lovely barnyard! And charming belly :)
I would give you a ribbon for that entry (if I were a judge)
that's a yucky thought *cringing... to hear the skin stretching... LOL
So glad to see you and the wee 'one though.
So pleased for you and your growing family! Your tatting is great and deserves a ribbon. Don't overdo it and end up back on bed rest.
Amazing. What an awesome heirloom piece. And you can just keep adding to it as the whimsy hits you! The baby will love it and so will her babies!
They are very qute!!!!!
Your barn yard is super cute!
(Cute belly too)
