August Contest- Copper Celtic Interlace Butterfly Shawl Pin

by Noreen on August 7th, 2007

Just wanted to remind everyone that the contest for Clancy’s gorgeous copper shuttle is still running……

  • Note: THIS contest finished on the 15th of August….
  • the butterfly pin has been awarded……… but more contests will be unfolding, so do keep checking for them, and take the poll to help me decide what you’d like to win!

And since Jim and I are in the process of radically downsizing in preparation for a whale of a move…..

I  decided to have another celebratory contest.

This time, the contest WAS to win

copper-celtic-butterfly-shawl-pin-qs.jpg

The Celtic interlace butterfly shawl pin that I designed and made for my book: Creative Crocheted Dolls. The wings are copper backed with wood and the body is crocheted. Because it is so big,(it’s 7 1/2 inches wide by 2 1/4 inches tall) there is a pin on the back of each wing.

The Celtic Interlace Butterfly  contest ended on the 15th of August and the winner was Susan Johnson. Thank you so much to everyone who entered!

Please click on the poll at the lower right hand side of the page to help me decide what the prize for the September contest should be….

hugs all round,Noreen

    Hi Noreen,

    What a beautiful pin. Please do not enter me in the contest unless you are willing to be flexible on how fast I send the $$ for shipping.

    The $ itself is not a problem, but timing might be. I will be having major surgery on August 23, but could move up if I have problems before then.

    Where are you moving? I almost dread the time when my hubby and I will need to move.

    Thanks so much for the directions for the weaving loom. I hope to put it to use soon. Our AC went out and it is not terribly comfortable to do anything with “yarn in my lap”. Maybe this will be time to get that little loom working.

    Since I’ve just completed my first 2 shawls, one all white and one all black, that beautiful butterfly really needs to sit on my shoulder holding my shawls closed. Especially, since Butterflies in any form are my “thing”. Here’s hoping you draw my name for your lovely creation.

    I truly love the originality in your work. It is fanciful & inspirational. Never boring. Thanks for throwing my name in the basket. I don’t envy the DOWNSIZING ROUTINE. I am in the process of working my way through it myself. (it is a forced downsize as we had to buy a much smaller house than we have had for some time. (realestate here is out of this world) Cheers & good luck to me.
