fifa...thanks for posting that bag...really cute and fun...wow...pompoms are even bigger than iever thought they'd be...i thought i was kinda pushing it with the pomoms...i had no idea they would be so mainstream!!!... i'm loving it...!!

hanne...i think that looks so pretty...but i like subdued elegant colours...so it will of course appeal to me...the only thing i might add is some hint of black or some silver to punctuate it...

Let me know how it works out, Ale & Jennifer. I wanted the black pair but they were sold out of my size. If you can make them, I'll pay for your supplies and hardwork to make me a black pair. B)

I made a white pom pom ribbon and a mixed white/grey/charcoal pom poms tied to a thin white twisted ribbon as well..but when I put all of the ribbons together it was too much..and not very subdued more like overload..the mixed one is actually long enough for me to use it as a belt once I regain my waist.

hanne ...you give new meaning to 'idle hands are the devil's playground'...
you have been very busy with all these pompoms...so creative...

 

[Hanne]

No..just goes to show what not having a television set will do to you

 

[softgrey]

wow...i'm shutting mine off immediately...

Pom Poms have reached the NY Times...

Text:
The holiday hurly-burly of Fifth Avenue from Rockefeller Center to 59th Street left no room for loneliness. Strolling about were throngs of tourists, some in native costume, speaking many languages; top-hatted ushers leaving St. Thomas Church; and little girls wearing tiaras or carrying their dolls. Visitors and New Yorkers alike sported fur pompom scarves, sold by sidewalk vendors for about $15. The festive parade included a romantic tableau on the steps of St. Patrick's Cathedral.

I was organizing my messy needlework box and to my surprise found the address for that amazing haberdashery on Lower East Side that I was talking about aeons ago in this thread..it was cheap and a real treasure trove..Softie if you get anywhere near 114 Stanton Street you need to visit Trim Land ! (open 10:00am-5:00pm saturdays closed).
