I made a record clock a few months ago and it’s one of my favorite projects.

For the center I decoupaged a flower picture from a magazine.

The clock mechanism was bought at a craft store. Just slide it through the record hole, insert a battery and set the time.

I wanted to keep the numbers simple to show off the record. I used marble magnets for the 4 time marks.

To affix the marble magnets I put another magnet on the other side. Though they’re held in place they are not permanent. If I every want to change them for another design I can.

Not Martha has an excellent tutorial on making marble magnets.

I finished my wine cork board and am really happy with how it turned out. The corks don’t fit snugly; there’s a space around all the sides. If I would have arranged them differently and cut some corks I could have had a tighter fit. But I thought half corks would disrupt the pattern so I left it as is.

A side look at the board-

I want to make wine bottle shrinky dinks for tacks.

Since I’ve successfully knit the back of my Eyelet Pullover I’m taking a break and starting on a new project. For awhile now I’ve wanted to make a wine cork bullentin board. A poster on Craftster gave the link to The Wine Enthusiast where I bought my cork board kit.

Luckily I have several friends who have been collecting corks for me because I don’t drink wine that fast. A sampling of my cork collection:
