A plague on pompoms

[mandie_rw]

Working on my stripes still, but I've come here to complain about pompoms, not stripes. Besides sewing down the trim bit, I have to go around all the trim I've already sewn again and tack down every damn ball, because if I don't it flops around and looks generally stupid. Shame I did the bit around the bottom of the spencer first, because that was the easy part; no tacking of balls required! *grumble*

(ETA: Annnnd I managed to pull a pompom off completely. Not even because of the chopping of pompom strings - it was just the ball, which I hadn't tampered with. Have decided that pompoms totally hate me and that I should ignore them in favour of velveteen strips from now on.)

How can something so cute be so evil??

It's always the cute things! I should know to expect it by now, but they consistently surprise me, always outdoing themselves in new, evil ways to misbehave!
