It's bitterly cold & very frosty in Inverness, but no snow yet. I have made some decorations using 224 craft pompoms and cotton sewing thread, to make my own decorative pre-Xmas snowfall. Roughly 9 pompoms per string = 24 strings. An evening's sewing and quite a lot of 'snowfall'. Festive!! I think it was worth it. What do you think?
