Don’t go to the Puyallup Fair with me.
I’m that person who wants to go to the photography exhibit and check out every last photo, and then I have to go see the quilts and afghans.
I know the fair is usually about the rides and livestock and pig races and scones, but for me, it’s not The Fair if I haven’t checked out the handiwork that some individual created meticulously out of scraps of fabric, a labor of love that’s sometimes misguided and horribly dire in its outcome.
The thing of it is, I love to take pictures, to sew and to crochet, though I don’t get time to do the last two much, and I soak up all kinds of inspiration from what I see.
Unfortunately, it takes me time to get inspired, and in terms of the kid, that’s time that could be spent on kiddie rides after getting sugar and fat overloaded.
Maybe I’ll take a day to go alone this year? â€" Jessica Corey-Butler
