My Wife and Fly Tying

For what it is worth, my wife is very supportive of my tying.  She is the one who pushed me to sell my poppers to the two fly shops.  Anyways, she also ties flies at times.  I have asked her to tie more.  She was going to enter the Fly Tyer of the Year contest over on the flytyingforum but she didnt.  Well she started tying again and the other night she tied this guy up.  She wanted to work with epoxy so I had her give a go with the Megans Minnow.  Its not bad.  Actually for her first time, I think it is pretty good.  Here it is:
