Pom Pom Cowl

I wanted to share what I made this week!  I found a great tutorial of how to make a long pom pom cowl at purlbee.com and it turned out great!  I actually ended up throwing it together before work and it took about a half an hour.  The only things I did differently is used cotton instead of linen and only put pom poms on one side of the cowl (so I just hemmed up the other side).  You should really check out the tutorial because I'm even going to make another one because it was so simple!

Floral Design

I just finished my 5 week floral design class and when i first started I was a bit worried because we had to buy all of our own artificial flowers and supplies.  We also had 3 hours a week to fill with arranging flowers and I had no idea how I would use that time!  But as I went along I realized I needed all the time I could get.  I had so much fun those 5 weeks, I wish we had the opportunity to do more arrangements.

We had to a traditional arrangement even on all sides for the first arrangement.  My arrangement is on the left and the inspiration on the right.  This one sits on my nightstand.
