Pompon madness

My pompon making madness has a purpose. Here it is. 

A pompon pillow cover. It took me almost one week to create it. 

And frankly I had to think about the price really carefully. 

Making pompons is a great fun but also is time consuming! Especially hard for mum with startig-crawling-very energetic 8 months M. I hope it does not sound pitiful. I am just stating a fact. Handmade things are time consuming :) And good that they are. 

 I love to receive handmade gifts especially when they are made especially for me. It is wonderful to think that somebody actually had to decide about a gift and then sacrificed some time to make it. I feel special. 

I feel exceptional.

On Christmas day one of my friends gave me a gift he bought on the petrol station just before he arrived to our place. How do I know? My partner found a receipt in the gift bag. Ha ha! Why bother? I understand that people are busy. However I bet that eighty percent of individuals who are claiming to  be the most busy have time to watch TV for two hours a day minimum But it does not matter really. 

What matters is the fact that people expect to buy handmade things as cheap as if they were made in China. 

But that does not work  like that. I have designed something, spent my time making it. It is a unique piece. I would like to be paid for my work fairly.

FAIR TRADE 

That is why to make living out of crafting is so difficult.

Pillow case is made from natural quality linen and pompons  from acrylic yarn.
