This website gave an idea to do with my pom pom balls I did long ago. Thank you!
That’s great to hear! I’m so happy we offered a bit of inspiration! 🙂
Too many options….I don’t know to pick just two.
That’s funny… maybe that’s a good thing! Do one this month and another next month! Best, Nancy
Great ideas! I really like your blog and I saved several links to come back later! Keep up the good work!
That’s SO good to hear! Glad you found a few ideas you liked!
Love the nightstand idea. I’ve had two crates in my garage for years , but haven’t done anything with them and love the beachy vibe of the twine wrapped handles. I could also use a nightstand that will hold my bedside reading and not look messy.
I’m SO happy you found a few ideas you loved, Cheryl! Sometimes, all it takes is a little inspiration! xo
