pom poms | A Conversation with Moo

A different kind of Advent

I was reading over at Meet Me at Mikes, home of the lovely Pip Lincolne of Blog with Pip fame. Pip is making A Pom Pom a Day in December. She is hanging them on a special re-purposed stick from her local park, and is her special kind of Advent Calendar.

I thought this was a lovely idea. Of course, we can’t possibly hang them on a stick in this house ~ Moo would not understand the idea of miscellaneous sticks that did not belong to her ~ but I’m sure we will come up with Plan B very quickly.

I guess we’re stretching the truth a little to call this an advent “calendar”, but once we take into account the Important Facts (IF), I think we will all agree that it’s just the right thing to do.

IF No. 1: Pom poms are easy, quick, and so much fun to make.
IF No. 2: Pom poms use up left-over yarn stash at an alarmingly speedy rate.
IF No. 3: You can never have too many pom poms.
IF No. 4. Pom poms are just so much fun to photograph!
IF No 5: Moo loves pom poms!

I hope you’re all having a splendid Monday.

Love Terri and Moo xxx

I stumbled across a new blog today. I can’t remember how I got there – I never quite can – but I think reading about Matt and his life is going to be fun… and he hands down has the cutest blog header I’ve seen (I’m a little focused on blog header pictures at the moment)!

Anyway, what struck me was this post, where he talks about not being able to write a blog post until he’s finished a project – e.g. “each blog post MUST contain a perfectly photographed newly finished not-seen-before project”.

Yes, you’ve guessed it – no finished project here today 😀

I do have these rather scrumptious little pom poms though. They are my guilty pleasure… so easily whipped up in a few seconds, instead of emptying the dishwasher, doing the ironing, washing my hair….
