Weekend Round-up

full readable version!!
I got a little crafty this weekend and made a few pompom hair ties after seeing this little tutorial in CUTiE 
I don’t have the same pom pom makers but any will do. There’s a bunch of different ways to create pom poms 
I made 4 pom pom hair ties in all
I attempted the crochet シュシュ but I didn’t have any bulky enough yarn. I have a few crochet hooks but I just went ahead and did the crochet using my fingers (what how!?)
Pretty much FAIL
I also did some light shopping. Laila Rowe basically had 75% off EVERYTHING so I picked up a few! I LOVE the bracelets! One has gold lines throughout while the other has “Take Chances. Find Your Passion!” written on it. The over-sized heart necklace is a great basic too! They also had some boots including fringe boots 75% and really worth it! I didn’t buy any because it was warm and my mind is set on SPRING BOOTS ONLY now. 
Also got some Victoria’s Secret Body Mist 75% off. Mmm coconut sugar scent!
I had a really great Saturday but Sunday I just didn’t feel like myself~ same for this morning. I was being really … well, emo and difficult. Thinking “Oh woe is me” and all that crap. Then at work someone sweetly surprised me with a “thank you” gift full of chocolates and garden things and a little cute card. I was just stunned. A THANK YOU?!?!? But I was just doing my job!! It’s nothing special really, “you didn’t have to!” I said it and I still think it. I mean, how considerate is this person?! And here I was being a selfish little down-in-the-dumps jerk all weekend. I was greeted with smiles from familar faces all morning so I decided to change my attitude right then & there! Really… sometimes you just need a kick in the face to straighten you up and make you stop being so selfish, ya know? THANK YOU UNIVERSE. :happycrying:

How sweet of them and lucky of you! Don’t you love when you get a little pick me up randomly?
Well, first off, it’s OK to feel “down-in-the-dumps”. IT’S NOT SELFISH AT ALL! It’s what makes us human. We can’t be happy 24/7. I’m glad someone was considerate enough to show their gratitude for your help. Everyone deserves a thank you
Awh! Those pom pom’s are too cute!!!
And yeah, I know how you feel! Sometimes I go around being selfish and moping around about something not even important, and then something comes up which makes me turn my attitude around. TY UNIVERSE AS WELL
OOO! I tried making them too when I saw the article! It’s the pink one in Poupee
Like you said 
nyam~
Did you put two threads at once for the purple and pink one? Cuute! :3
I think I’ve told you about me getting selfish and such but we just have to stay positive
I used to make pom poms in primary school! We did it out of these cardboard rings, ahhhh! So fun! Life was waaaay simpler back then
The HUGGGGGE necklace is way cute! Oversized things are always the best ♥
Surprises are so great especially if you’re feeling down! Some people are just so nice!
Aww~ I’m sorry to hear you’ve been feeling down, but glad that you had someone to cheer you up♥ You seem like a really awesome person, & I’m sure you’re loved by many, so try not to forget! p(^-^)q
Your haie ties came out awesome, btw! If you ever decide to sell them, I’d definitely buy from you! (^人^) lol
& I’d love to raid your closet asdfghjkl@#$&!!♥
I love the bracelets - they are all so cute!
Cute outfits, as always. I *still* haven’t got round to doing that yet. I must get on to taking pictures of my outfits!
Those are nice! I mean, I wouldn’t have any kind of patience to do that kind of stuff, LOL. Maybe you could try making some extra ones and selling them?
they are so cute!
i’ll make them~
i love your outfits!
OMG. THAT’S SO CUTE! Thanks for posting this. I’m going to try to make some pom poms myself.
Btw, I love your outfits. You always look so good!
the pompoms are adorable!
they look just like the ones on the magazine =D
i like the pink & white one *O*
& you look so cute in your weekend outifts! =3
Ooo I see Kimura Kaela on one of your magazines! (bottom right corner
I LOVE her 
I’d never even heard of Laila Rowe before but they have a store at Tyson’s- right near me! Amazing! lol
Glad you’re feeling better
I love the sweater one-piece! It’s fantastic.
Nice to know you’re feeling a bit better. ^^ It usually is just one’s attitude anyhow. Guess karma came back to you or something on this one. :O I want someone to give me a thank you card for something… that’d be nice right about now, haha.
Hi! It’s also my first comment, but I’ve been reading your blog for sooo many years! I think before 9/11! You still had everything separated, I started with your knit blog
Anyway
, the Christmas before last I bought those Clover ponpon makers (in 4 sizes) and they are really worth the buy. I’ve never made such beautiful ponpons and it’s much easier and quicker!
You haven’t been very crafty lately, so its nice to have you post some of your stuff here again!
Awe thank you! I miss my knit blog~ I miss knitting~ wish I was still obsessed with it
ah i saw a kit with the supplies to make those pom poms in chinatown! i want to try it ;D and it’s great when people appreciate you, especially on days when you just feel crummy.
hey wow
they came out really well (not that i wasn’t expecting them to..)
but yeah sometimes you feel in the dumps really small things make u feel GREAT
saying thank you isn’t hard at all i wish ppl did it more often!
ps. WANT UR PLAID TOP NOWW
ooooo i know about the pom pom thing ! theyreee so kawaii ~
and i love your outfitsss
A few months ago on UK TV this show called ‘Frock Me’ showed pom poms and how easy and ‘on trend’ they were to make (credit crunch tv ね！）. I just find it funny how FOR ONCE Japan wasn’t ahead on that. BUT UNFORTUNATELY the UK ones looked so dull in comparison to yours! (and CUTiE’s
)
I don’t know why but since I can remember I’ve always had a complex about certain woolly things, especially pom poms, I avoid them like… bees… bees! Maybe it’s because of fearing them?!
Oh my! You should definitely start an Etsy shop! I would never have the patience to do something like that >.
Those hair thingers look great ;D You’re the opposite of me (I’m lazy)
I love the second outfit btw =o especially the tights!
hey
