It was rainy and grey on Sunday, so Buddy and I stayed in and made these (Buddy provided the names).
And these.
Speaking of ponpoms, have you seen this? And this? Some amazing stuff by Theresa, made from homemade ponpoms. Which really makes me want to get this.
(Added: I just realized I spelled 'pompons' wrong. Even though I was trying to be careful after Heidi posted about it a while back. It's pompon, not ponpom. But that's how I've been saying it all these years - ponnnnnpommmm!)
Wow, Myra, these are so cute! The pom pom's are perfect. Are they pre-made? I love the froggy pencil topper!

And I always thought is was "pom pom"
So cute. Love the googly eyes too. I don't know which is my favorite. Alex...no, Mommy Chickie...no wait, Babie Chickie...oh no, just saw the pencil toppers!

Those are cute, Myra! And re: Theresa's pieces, I was the lucky recipient of the frog pincushion and the *real thing* is even more incredible than it looks. A treasure!
Molly brought me my own set of ponpom makers on her recent trip home. Another thing to add to my long list of one-of-these-days projects.
