Pompom...?

I tried to make a pompom to trim my hat, but I was using cotton embroidery floss that I separated and it just wasn't fluffy enough. Not a total loss though. I turned the sad pompom into a flat pom-rosette-hybrid thingie/dohicky and sewed it to my hat. Now it has a decoration. :)

Too late for tassels though. That's ok. Next time.

And speaking of next time, I've been looking at fashion plates and think that a ridiculous, over-the-top, froofy, silly, what-were-they-thinking 18-teens hat is in my future. ;)
