Sale time ...

Gotta love a pom pom ...

Ever since my mum taught me to make pom poms as a little girl with her left-over wool from the knitting box I have had a fascination with the fluffy little balls.  I once used them to decorate a store window display at christmas time using all sizes from tiny wool ones to super huge pom poms made with ribbons & fabrics.  Have a go yourself and gets the kids involved.  Here are a few ideas from Living website ...

These pom pom cushions are great from Martha Stewart I might make these for the tidlers rooms.

Soft Gallery ...

I have a huge love for Soft Gallery.  Both the children's wear and women's wear collections are beautiful.  The illustrations used within their prints are whimsical and reminiscent of old style story books but transferable for both the kids & adults clothing.  Take a look. . .
