soo.. those little pom pom thingies I was making..

All finished with the little project, and I loooooove how it turned out!  I made 11 pom pom flower thingies in total.. and it didn't take near as long as I thought it would. ;)

 

I added this garland to the garland that I already had on my craft room window.  The extra dimension is so so so pretty. 

I wanted to make a little something with some colour for this end of my room.. since all the other really pretty pretties in the room, are on the other end.. so I see them when I am at my work desk looking out.  This end was just begging for some equal opportunity.  It wanted to feel just as pretty.. it was begging, really!  So I had to help it out a little right? 

 

I used fabrics from Amy Butler (Love) and Heather Bailey (Nicey Jane) and Jennifer Paganelli.. all so very very pretty.

 

Oh and in the attempt to pretty up the view from the doorway.. I may or may not have stole some pom poms from the play room!  Yes.. I definitely may have done that! ha ha  I had bought the package of Martha Stewart pom poms, and had originally split them between the 2 rooms.. I like them all in here more. :)  The kids didn't even notice them gone.. I told Laine I took the pom poms out of the playroom and she was like 'pom poms? what pom poms!?" ha ha ha!  

 

I tried to find the link.. because I know I had seen how to make the fabric flowers online ages ago.. and for the pom pom style, I pretty much just doubled the flower (back to back).. but I am thinking I may just have to do a tutorial to share here!  Yes.. I think that may be tomorrow's project!! 

Long weekend here again (2 weekends in a row!).. perfect weekend for some crafting I would say! ;)  Now though, I need to go clean my house.. I can only ignore it for so long, it is in need.  I did the entire downstairs yesterday.. now it is time to deep clean the upstairs.  And to tackle Laine's room.. that is whole entire project in itself! ha ha!  OK.. better run!  Happy Friday!!!

I made a garland of the Martha Stewart pompoms not too long ago for our kitchen. We don't have drapes and I wanted a little extra something for the sad kitchen window. I love the look of them!
You can see them here:

I like them, I think that I want to make some this weekend. I some of the sample fabric things that I bought a garage sale for .10 each I was wondering what to do with them. Are there instructions some place?
