Hello my friends,
have you seen the new 'Peter Rabbit' movie?
We just got home from taking one of our granddaughters to see it. A bit corny in places, but the kid in me loved it!

Pom Poms and Roses. . .
Friday, February 9, 2018
Hello my friends,
I'm not sure what it is, but big fluffy pom poms and pretty roses make me ever so happy!
I had a couple of skeins of pink yarn that I had saved from one of the estate sales. I added an aqua color from Hobby Lobby and then picked up a white from our local thrift.
Give a Cheer for Pom Poms!
Friday, January 20, 2017
What is it about pom poms that makes us want to stand up and give a big cheer?
Perhaps they take us back to our younger days as a cheerleader, :) or maybe it's just because they are so darn cute!!
Not only cute, but easy and fun to make. Especially if you have this handy dandy gadget.
So easy I made them while out of town celebrating my oldest sister's 80th birthday. Wrap a little eat a little, wrap a little , eat a little more.
What grandma doesn't love giving hugs and kisses? The chicken wire crown was a craft I made with my sil a few years ago as well. I threw in one of my old radios for a touch of aqua.
Carefully pull maker apart and voila!
A perfect (same size every time) pom pom!
You can just tie these to string or whatever with the little pieces left from tying off if you want. I chose to cut them off and to thread them into a garland with a needle.
Hip, Hip, Hurray!
What can I say? I love pom poms!
hugs,
Jann

$6.99 at Joannes's, but I snagged mine with a 50 percent off coupon. Sure you can wrap yarn around cardboard, but this (in my opinion) was worth every penny. Pom poms all turn out the same size and it was easy to use. That is after my engineer hubby figured it out for me. lol! Truth be told!
This is the yarn I used. Both on sale. I made one pom pom with the red and cream but didn't care how there were longs strips of plain cream. After that I cut it and wrapped the stripe and the cream separately.

I could hardly wait to string them and hang them up. Sometimes I laugh at myself about how silly I am! I strung and hung them the night we got home and in the morning I just HAD to decorate my living room mantle. I won't be pulling out the rest of the Valentines until next week. But I just couldn't wait! That kid in a candy store syndrome. lol!
Using a large needle and crochet thread I strung them leaving space in between.
New found love for a simple scrubbing brush. Loved the red bristles!
The marquee letter 'V' came off of a theater in a nearby town. It remains one of my favorite Valentine décor items.
I made the wool blocks quite a few years ago, but they still hold a special place in my heart!

In case your interested, here's how that little gadget works. You wrap the yarn around the half circles.
Then you close it and snip all around the circle.
This is what it will look like after you have clipped it. Next cut a small piece of yarn and wrap around the circle twice and tie off.
