My beading at the Royal Queensland Show

We visited the Royal Queensland Show (EKKA) on Saturday to check out my two pieces I had entered in the Creative Art & Craft competition. 

A friend who had also entered had already told me that the winners had been announced on the show's website so I already knew that my pieces had received 
2nd (Treasures of the North Sea) and 4th (Fingal Frolics).

However when we arrived my pieces were displayed with Fingal Frolics coming second and Treasures of the North Sea receiving a Highly Commended. I am not sure which is correct but I'll happily take both!

So here are my pieces on display. 
Sorry about the picture quality but it was difficult to get a decent photo through the glass cabinet. 




For some reason they had taken my Treasures of the North Sea piece off my black bust and displayed it on someone else's red bust... and then placed someone else's piece on my black bust (which you can see behind Fingal Frolics)...ahhh who knows! 

I just hope I get my black bust back as it's the only one I own!!

They are both first place in my book! Congrats on the ribbons and I am still waiting on pins and needles for them both to come back safely (the black bust too)

Hugs
