Crafter's Corner

At the weekend Mrs Shiney entered seven items in a flower show near us. She won three firsts and a two second(s) (EDITED)

The standard was extremely high and we're both very pleased with the result. They had lots of different categories and very many for children.

A first for this painting


First for an arrangement in a teacup


A first for 'Three cut stems'


Those stems are from 'Annabelle' who always gives us a wonderful display and this next photo is just a quarter of the plant


And a second for her 'Beachcomber' entry

 

Whoops! She also won a second for the knitted scarf section


The other two entries received very good written comments but weren't in the prizes.

The amount of categories and entries from children was enormous. These are just a few of them as they were still bringing them in (we were there quite early on setting up day).




Only a few of the scarecrows had been brought in at that time

 

One of her arrangements that didn't a prize was entered in the 'Garden Party' section. The judges like it but said that the flowers were not a large enough part of the display!





Mrs Shiney made the base of the 'hat'.

 

The judges suggested that she should have made a further arrangement of flowers on the base board. I think that was a fair comment and everything increase her knowledge as she's only been competing for just over a year.
