Recently, I sewed some pom pom trim onto my girls' cheap white curtains. I did it by hand. Stitch by stitch.
It seems like a slightly frivolous use of my time, attaching pink pom poms. Just the title to this post makes me feel a little trivial. And the endeavor was not even all that creative. I connected things. I didn't make anything up. And the lives surrounding these pom poms are busy. I can barely feed everyone, let alone sew them pom pom curtains!
Still, it gives me such a sense of satisfaction to have "girls' curtains" on my to do list. And holding a needle and thread can make me feel right with the world.
So now that the pom poms are done, I am ready to put something new on my list. Something equally... small.
Maybe I'll try ric rac.
Don't you think sewing on those pom poms which are darling...who wudda thunk it...was meditative. I just sewed a mattress cover on a piece of foam for a big doll bed. It doesn't take too long and is a short respite from go go. Now for the 2nd doll bed...
