This year, I decided to set myself a little rule for my Agricultural Society Fair entries:
All entries must begin with the letter “P”.
The idea was to make myself focus. Instead of a vast endless array of possibilities, I would make myself focus on just those entries that began with P and fit into the entry categories.
- Parasol
- Petticoat
- Pellise
- Purse
- Paltot
- Pink
- Pinking
- Purple
- Pocketbook
- Pumpkin
Before I knew it, focusing on “P” entries became a mental game of finding all the things that could begin with “P” and how many things could I make that began with “P”.
Kinda counter-productive.
But, Fun!
Friday afternoon I dropped off the “P” entries of:
- Pieced Pocket (Pieced article of clothing) (DM-2A)
- Appliqued Pocket (Appliqued article of clothing) (DM-4A)
- Quilted Pocket (Hand-quilted article of clothing) (DM-6A)
- Embroidered Pocket (Embroidery: Embellished Article of Clothing) (DM-35)
- Pieced Pocket of Pockets (Pieced household article) (DM-1A)
- Quilted Pocketbook (Hand-quilted household article) (DM-5A)
- Corded Petticoat (doll) (Handsewn article of clothing – corded) (DM-17A)
- Petticoat (doll) (Handsewn article of clothing) (DM-18A)
- Penwipes: Doll, Parasol, and a trio (Handsewn household articles) (DM-19) (5)
- Doll Pincushion with Parasol Pin Keep (Handsewn Fancy articles) (DM-19)
- Pink and Purple Corded Pinball (Display of Domestic Manufacture (DM-37A) (which I forgot at home.)
There were a number of P items on my entry form I aspired to make when I sent it in a month previous, but I simply ran out of time to make….
- A Pink Plaid Pinked Parasol (Display of Domestic Manufacture)
- Purse (Crochet household goods) (DM-11)
- Pocketbook (Appliqued household article) (DM-3A)
- Embroidered Pocket of Pockets (Embroidery – Embellished household article) (DM-34)

If I Had My Own Blue Box: 
Anna these are fantastic. Are you offering any for holidays in your shop? Think I just have to have a beaded parasol pen wipe.
I will do a few of the circle penwipers. I will need to find more handles to do the parasol penwiper or the parasol pin-keep.
Thanks for letting me know there would be interest.
