If you're on Facebook, please friend me (inc. a note of where I know you from!). Here are my show pics. I didn't take pics of every piece in competition, I confess, just some of my favorites.

These are mine before they got to the show. The dragon got a first, and the butterfly a third.

Some belts

That beautiful bike seat

Some binders and such

Other items

Those chaps were INCREDIBLE! I can't imagine working with something that furry! At first, I thought the leather strips were just sitting on top of a rug, then someone pointed out they were chaps! LOL, shows you what I know!

Pictures

Silva raffled off that pic with the birds...unfortunately I didn't get it! I liked the WTC Memorial though. It was one of my two favorite pieces in the show. My absolute favorite was this:

Here are some "people pics". No one better give me a rough time for how they look! I do wish I had a picture of "Santa" the tool sharpener. Ethan was amazed that Santa was in Chicago!

Me with Allan

with Blanche

happy to meet you Brent!

with George Hurst

with Pat Goodman

With Silva Fox and Johanna. I'd not seen Silva for many years, it was great to meet her again.

Of course I have to have an Ethan pic in here...he was totally fascinated by this "fountain" in the hotel lobby.

We had a great time at the show. We got there early on Friday, giving us time to relax (flew in from Charlotte, NC to O'Hare). Our only complaint of the weekend was the lack of reliable shuttle service from the hotel. They did take us back and forth to the local train station for free, at least. I enjoyed the chance to meet up with people I'd not seen in a while, and the banquet was wonderful. PSLG ran a fun show.
