Darn that Martha Stewart! What were we thinking? We spotted an awesome wedding picture in Martha’s latest wedding magazine and decided “we can do that”! This isn’t the exact picture, but one from Martha’s site:
Martha Stewart Pom-poms
No, we’re not decorating for a wedding. We’re decorating for Shea’s Grade 12 Graduation. We are making over 300 of these pompoms… I think we have over 75 so far. It’s been a marathon of girls and tissue paper this past week. The pom-poms have taken over the main floor of our house and chased us out to the porch for meals. I think we will have to start hanging them upstairs next.
Our attempt at Martha Pom-poms
Did I mention they’re taking over the house?
And more pom-poms!
And did I mention that we’re starting to pack up our house (see boxes on the right above), that we’re into the last two crazy weeks of school and the last couple weeks of our new build?
Now would be a good time to say that the June redwork pattern will be late – sorry! It’s drawn but not stitched. I’ll be on it as soon as I help make another 225 or so pompoms (and get the tissue paper dye off my hands)!
I do hope all that work was appreciated. It looks wonderful.
The girls think they’re pretty fun – and they’re doing a lot of the work themselves! Hopefully they will look good in the banquet hall. I am having visions of the string not being strong enough and strings of pom-poms falling on people and tables, though!
