The local hospital sponsors 'special' awards for three categories. One, is making either a New Baby card or a Get Well card. I chose baby. I used Jane Eborall's baby carriage motif, in pink and blue, and I won the sweepstakes prize! Thanks for the great pattern Jane!
I also won Sweepstakes and 1st prize in the shawl category with my Chinese Dragon Shawl.
The pattern is in an Interweave Crochet magazine.
I won 1st prize for my Tatted Hummingbird necklace!! YAY!
1st place for my 3D tatted Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer ornament. He is part of my Misfit Toys collection.
I didn't win any 2nd place ribbons. But, I did win 3rd place on my Bunny Slipper Girl Zombie doll! (she was a character from The Walking Dead TV show)
I was really happy she won. I made her because of a group I am in on Ravelry. We have a different Bunny Slipper Girl doll that we send around, member to member, and take photo diaries of her visit. I wanted my own, and I made this one. This picture is part of the photo diary I posted in that group.
I also won 3rd place on my Dalek (from Doctor Who) crocheted purse
I was very very happy with my fair wins this year. Though, evidently the judges didn't like my beading (how are the edges supposed to be perfectly even when beads are not uniform in size?).
I didn't enter any photos this year as my computer was broken, and it would have been a pain to try to find good photos in my records. But, maybe next year!

Congratulations. Your items are very nice.
thank you,
Phyllis!
Congratulations! Very well done. You've put tatting on the map, and shown that the judges don't only favour conventional items. Have to say that the dragon shawl is my favourite item - wow!!
thanks Jane.
Yes.. I absolutely LOVE this shawl. I had to learn to filet crochet to make it, and it was my very first filet crocheted item. I can't believe it won, but I am so happy it did!
Well done and megga congratulations - I feel like a winner too with my small contribution. Thanks for using the pattern.
Lots of talent on display here! Congratulations!
Congrats on your awards!!!!
I have been waiting to hear how Bunny Slipper doll fared - congratulations! And, like Jane, I love the Dragon shawl. Must check Ravelry to see if the pattern is listed there.
Thanks Jane! And thanks so much for the pattern!
Thanks Kathy and Lelia
Thanks Maureen. They show the shawl on Ravelry, but you have to get it from Interweave.
Congratulations on all the wins! I really adore the tatted items, especially the hummingbird necklace.
Congratulations! All of your pieces are fantasic.
Thanks so much Singtatter and JB!
Now to think of something for next year. Oh, I already have something I have started on...
