Pom-pom's

I love Pom-poms, easy to make and cheerful too, like fairy lights, I just get enough! A few years ago I scored a pom-pom maker from a car boot sale, new in its box, never used, such waste. I used to make poms the old school way,  two circles of card with small balls of wool from mum and nans scraps. Now I have scrap's of my own to turn into things of beauty…well that might be over doing it just a little bit…

My little white bird is made from air dry clay, I pushed him onto a clear drinking straw so I could stick him in to the foliage of pot plants such as herbs. Now all my herbs are dead  *ekk! So he's in with the twigs!

**This would be a simple easter project with or without little ones, you could make bunnies from clay or little eggs which you could then paint, or why not make Pom-Pom Bunnies????! Why didn't I think of that before...

Loose ends...


A while ago when we had sun (!) I spent the afternoon wallpapering a wall in our dining room with this paper, it was a hot steamy day, and I lost the will to live, a quick picture was posted and that was that. I've been waiting for some decent light to show you the finished wall with all the furniture and stuff back in situe,

We also moved the bookcases to the other side of the room, sold our dresser and found the red cupboard in the above photo on ebay. It didn't look like that went we got it…but that's another post!


That's it, a nice quick post!
