    Hey artydoll, just bumped into you in the sewing thread!

    As said in sewing thread, i personally like it as a garland hung gorgeously in the kitchen, think it would look lovely on crusty's dresser!

    But, also can see it turned into a HM clock!

    We must be following each other around,lol.
    How could I turn it into a clock?
    I really like that suggestion.anyone know anyone who has made home made clocks ?

    Oh the sewing room is fab jennyjelly :) Hope you found it

    Yes, think we are following each other around artydoll! I love both these threads : )

    Not sure how to make it into a clock - i didnt think that far!!! hahahaha sorry. You can buy the clock back that battery goes into etc,and the hands from here for example.

    You could get a piece of MDF or something, cut it out into a circle, paste some nice cath kidston type wallpaper on and the put ya hearts around the edges - bot sure how yet, but its an idea! hahaha.

    What about using a heart for each of the hours, with the number embroidered on it? Stick them around a fabric-covered circle of mdf, drill a hole in the middle for the clock mechanism, bobs your uncle. I think it would look lovely.
