there was a tiny little project that drove a woman nuts. It was not her best work nor her best finishing, but it was over and done. The little pom started life as a Christmas ornament turned Valentine design as an offer to her friends. It ended as a tiny little pillow that went through many struggles, finished rehab, and is looking for a new home. She's hoping that the poor little pom's past history and condition will not deter entries.
Please leave your initials or email address in the comments on this post and I will draw a name on Friday at 8 pm.

Oh I absolutely adore this. It is beautiful in every way: in sentiment and in execution although you probably felt like executing it by the time it had metamorphasised so many times.
If I am unlucky and do not win this then can you please tell me the designer :-)
Thanks so much for your generous gesture. Keeping my fingers and toes crossed.
I check your blog daily but my email is:

It's lovely and I give you so much credit for sticking with it. I totally understand since I am a founding member of the "I Am My Own Worst Critic Club". It would be a wonderful addition to someone's home. Thanks for thinking of your readers.
I think it came out lovely. So sorry it gave you such a hard time.

its sweet, doesn't matter what it was suppose to be or started out as but that it ended a finished project and not stuck lonely in the back of some closet discarded waiting to be picked up again thanks for the opportunity to wion
Loving this sweet little stitch !!

I love it!!! It would be so cute in my bowl!! Cricketbug33@gmail.com
Well, that turned out to be adorable. There is a spot here waiting for it. istitch2@yahoo.com
So how did you end up finishing the trim... (sewing or gluing?) However you finished it, it looks great! Guess I should consider some pom pom trim... other than the crap I got at Hobby Lobby? It is on a roll, like ribbon, and will NOT fluff up! Glad it was on sale, so I didn't waste that much money!! Hugs!
Love it. And's it always nice to have something someone else has cross stitched in with your own stitching so it would be a great addition.
