And so many more on the way.  I love making scrappy poms (above)! I don't like them tight and fluffy, but you can easily trim these and make them that way. I prefer this loose and floppy look, because it reminds me of a cute cartoon character, or an adorable sea creature. Maybe a hybrid combination of cartoons, creatures, and characters. 😄 Here's a whole folder with pictures of how cute these colorful critters look, plus several shots of the easy process to make one: Scruffy Poms Anot...
