A Bunch of Cherry Pom Pom Flowers

Phew! It takes longer than it looks but I finished five stalks of cherry pom pom flowers (three flowers each stalk). And it made a nice gift for my friend who had a new office which had no personal touch to it....

Carnations and Droopy Cherry Pom-Poms

With my Macbook in ICU, I finally took a break from staring at the monitor and getting my hands dirty again. My half finished carnations are finally finished. And I even made little, droopy cherry pom-pom flowers. Something about droopy flowers, plants and trees (like the weeping willows) are endearing. ...

Pixie Cap with Bluebell

Many pictures for this entry just because one can never get enough of baby pictures! I made a pixie cap for my niece who is going to go for holiday in the cold highlands soon.I found a pattern in Sweaterbabe.com that I based this pattern on.

Keepsake Crafts
