Plate Clock

It's true that I've been missing for months now. I don't know what happened. It could have been the kitchen remodel, then a busy summer playing with our three kids, then school starting, and finally finishing our kitchen remodel. Needless to say I'm back. Over the weekend I visited my sister in Arizona. While dining out I came upon a beautiful display of plate clocks. I gushed over them for a couple of days. Aren't they pretty?

Then I told my sis I had to try and copy it. Granted mine is a simplified version, but hey, it works I'd say! I found my plate at Home Goods for $3.99 My brother in law kindly drilled a hole in the center with a diamond bit. Whew, it didn't crack. Finding the clock mechanism was handled with a simple search at our local thrift store (Deseret Industries). They had a whole pile of old clocks to choose from. After applying vinyl numbers I was set. I Can't wait to hang it.
