you know how it is

 
I first heard about The Umbrella Prints Trimming Competition in March.
 
Wow I thought I'll have a go at that !
 
The idea is you buy a pack of gorgeous trimmings , make something
from them , put them up and wait for thousands of people
to repin them from pinterest as each pin counts as a vote.
 
Sounds so easy doesn't it.......
 
I stuffed around for ages and never got to it but I 
finally glued my trimmings
around little sewing spools a few weeks ago....
.....and then left them.
 
I then decided this morning I'd better do something with them
so I strung the spools onto thread with some lovely wooden beads.
 
Of course no one was home to take a photo for me so
I took one myself and you can see all my junk in the background.
 

 
Tough luck I thought .... I'll just get my entry in anyway.
So then I went to The Umbrella Prints Blog to get the address
to email my details to and discovered



 
entries closed four days ago !
 
This was all totally my own fault but I still had fun anyway.
(and I now have a pretty cool necklace)
 
Visit the pinterest board and pin your favourites and
see the talent that did get their act together in time .

An uber cool necklace indeed - who cares about deadlines - you're a winner all the same.

What a shame - I think your creative use of the trims would have been a real winner! :)
