Welcome to a slow stitcher and vintage lovers blog where all things are possible and whimsical. Creating is in my soul and so is treasure hunting for gorgeous old fabrics, buttons, linens & threads. There is something about truffling at vintage fairs for beautiful haberdashery and fabric. I adore the seasons, the hygge & cosy of Winter, the awakening of Spring, the changes of colours and crunching of leaves in Autumn and the bees, butterflies and ocean sounds of Summer. Enjoy XX

Pom Pom maker ...... Oh this is amazing!
Good morning all and Happy Weekend!
I just wanted to show you my new gadget! I bought this beauty in Arundel when I was in West Sussex last weekend.
There is a little Victorian enclosed shopping mall in Arundel and along with a bear shop and antique shop and lots more there is a little stitching shop. I went in and saw this great device. The lady in the shop explained to me how it works so that you can make up to 20 at a time..... the more you make the smaller they are but you can make 4 large ones in one go too.
You choose your wool and tie it onto the frame and wrap the wool around. Then you divide the sections with wool and cut them off and fluff them up
to make wonderful pom poms! oh joy....
It is such a clever invention and such a simple design and idea I am just surprised no one has thought about it before but I am glad that they have.
I will let you know how I get on after Christmas when I make some and take photos as I go along....
Have any of you seen these before? and if so what do you think?
Have a great day and Happy Stitching!
