Competition entries

For the first time I plucked up courage to enter some of my handicrafts in the local Agricultural Show. And i picked up 2nd prize for a crocheted article. I'm well chuffed. It's from a vintage pattern. I made the Bon Bon dish  last year.  Here is the link to that previous blog



I also entered:-

A pincushion

A cross stitch hanging

Jessie mouse

And a crocheted cushion

It was great fun and I think I will enter next year too.

    OH well done S, I am so happy for you and the basket is really beautifully done! All your other entries are cute and lovely too but Jessie Mouse steals my heart:)
    Have a wonderful Sunday, and happy crafting! xoJoy

      Thank you Joy. I thought the mouse was good too, but having seen the other entries I can see why it didn't get a prize. Some categories had only a few entries, others quite a lot, I will do again next year.

    Well done! All your items are lovely but the crochet basket is particularly lovely, beautiful colour. As my Great Granny used to say, you've got to be in it to win it!

      Hi Helen, thank you for your kind comments. I thought a different colour would give it a modern twist. Wonder what I should make for next year, I've certainly got a taste for it now.

      Thank you. For a 25p entry fee I didn't think it was too bad a return and it was great fun.

    Thank you, yes I was chuffed. I see in our local paper that one other person took the 1st and 3rd prize, so mine must have compared very well with theirs. A challenge for next year, perhaps!
