Every three years, there's a juried show called 'Threadworks' out of Ontario. The first time I heard of it, I had missed the deadline - not that it mattered as I had barely learned to thread a needle. Three years ago, I was a big scaredy cat and didn't even consider entering. THIS year, with a little coaxing, I worked on a fairly big project for me, and entered it! There's always a theme and the show entries go through two rounds of jurying before being selected. ie: 'scary'
Guess what? I did it. One day before the deadline I entered the first round of jurying. Lookie what I just got!!
I bounced around the house exclaiming 'yippee!!! I did it! woohoo!!! I did it! Yahoooo!!! Woopeee!! I did it!' AI don't know why it's do darned exciting, but it really is a thrill. Now, I will pack it up and ship it to Ontario for the next round of the jurying process. I'll find out the results around the beginning of next month. I will show you photos of the piece then.

Congratulations! This is always a great show, and the best part is that some of the pieces travel around Ontario to select museums and galleries for a couple of years. Hope I'll soon be seeing your work in person.
