Globes of Beauty

Love these - from Utterly Engaged - yarn balls, paper doily balls, lace doily balls - great character.

The colors and the textures combine for a beautiful look.

Coffee Filter Flowers from U-Create

Because I don't drink coffee, I don't use filters, and I don't know if this is an expensive or inexpensive thing to do, but it looks pretty.  The colors are great - if you like those colors ;) and I do.

Claim your glass or dessert cups with sweet little tags tied with slim ribbon like these from The Party Dress.  I don't do wine, but I do use stemware, so this look would work.

I imagine using this type of tag when large groups of stemware (including dessert cups) are needed and borrowed from several owners.  These little tags add color and character (even some charm) to the finished look and could be used to designate which glass should be returned to which owner (by using pre-determined colors or numbers or letters, or words, of course).

What do you do with a fork. A fork?

Silly question isn't it?

We eat with a fork!

You can press the crust of a pie with a fork.

You can mash things
or stir things
or pull things apart
and sometimes it can even cut things.

But don't stop there ...


I have used a fork to take out a knot.  It works nicely. 
Just push one of the end tines into the knotted area, hold the shoe lace (or whatever is knotted) between the tine and your thumb and try to pull it apart.  Try several places and soon it loosens and it's not a knot any more!

Google even supplied me with a photo (kind of) so I didn't have to take one myself.

I don't get the fork stuck through the knot the first time like this photo shows, but eventually I have always gotten the knot undone.  Some have been pretty hard, but I just had to be persistent. Baby steps ...


Maybe you want to tie a knot ... or a bow -  a tiny bow like this from Operation Write Home.
It looks like a fork can help you do that.



or use a fork to make a pom pom like this from Vivid Please

One last idea for a fork ...


this idea comes from Ariel ...


but you might have to call it a dinglehopper if you want it to work.

image from here

I'll bet a fork, when used as a dinglehopper might not perform as well as it does for making poms, but I haven't tried it for either ..., yet!

Wedding Ideas

This post includes several ideas for weddings, most would fit in with any theme.

I love the idea of having 3 layer cakes - on tiers instead of stacked on top of each other. 
This is a lovely idea from The Cake Diva

Here is another lighting idea using tulle or other sheer fabric to soften the look.

The colored poms assortment is pretty too.

Most everyone has strands of lights with their Christmas décor.

Dixie Cup Lighting Garland from Hey Gorgeous Events
I love this look! 

Pom Filled Bulb

I was looking at the tree and cute bulbs at I Heart Organizing ..., checking out each individually decorated bulb ..., and found this one ..., it's my favorite of all.

 

 

I love pom poms ...,  these look like they might have the silvery threads ..., that would add some sparkle when the lights glow ...,

 

 

She has several different bulbs - 40 or 50 ..., no two alike ..., and close-up photos to show a few of them.  A few more can be seen here.

Yarn and Pom Decor

This fun look adds warmth to the occasion.  I love this look from Ruffled, but don't need to save it for a wedding. It could be great decor for several occasions and/or seasonal gatherings. 

The yarn and pom door is so fun ...



The covered big balls are awesome...



The yarn pom garland wrapped around the silverware is awesome ...



The pom hanging on the wall and the large pom rug are awesome ...



The table covering, yarn wrapped heart, and scattered poms are awesome ...



There are more photos on their site, take a look to see them all ..., they are awesome.
