Remember this mystery WIP from last week that I entered into a competition?
Well I won second prize!
For those of you who were intrigued as to what it might be (Caren), I can now reveal that is is a….
…..CLOCK!
Based on a design by Matt, I made it much simpler as my clock hands were too large to include many flowers which would obstruct the movement.
I crocheted the butterfly instead of using a wooden one and used a wire tie to create the antennae. I also glued on felt numerals instead of wooden ones.
Various sizes of brightly coloured flowers adorn the perimeter.
The centre of each flower features a different button from my stash.
Eight little ladybird buttons mark the hour.
Some of the ladybirds are peeking out from amongst the flowers!
The best part for me is the rainbow – I just love all those bright colours!
The plywood we had lying about was too thick for the clock movement so I used some mounting card which was substantial enough for the job.
And here’s my prize….
…..vouchers for Ottery Garden Centre which I have already spent part of on……………………………………………………………………………………………….
……………………you guessed it, another Santa!
Have you won any crafting competitions?

Welcome home! It’s true that I don’t feel so frivolous buying a second Santa as I used my prize vouchers and not cash:)

Congratulations on your second prize, personally I think it is definitely worthy of a first prize though, its absolutely wonderful!!!! I never would have guessed it would become a clock 🙂
LOL! Love that you invested your winnings in another Santa, now you will remember that little crocheted clock every year No2 makes a seasonal appearance 😉

I must find out only the display had been dismantled by the time I collected my entries. As soon as I saw a crochet clock on Pinterest I knew I had to make one!
