Invasion of the soot sprites!

With my craft show schedule behind me I'm loving spending my spare time working on personal crafty projects for a change! The other day I shared a tutorial with you about making your very own studio ghibli soot sprites and even though I didn't really follow the paper crane's directions, I did make some super fun pom pom sprites:


Pretty cute hey? Fraser picked me up some ultra soft black yarn and using my lovely clover pom pom makers I whipped up a bunch of sprites! Then I just cut out some white circles from felt, added a little french knot, and sewed them onto each pom. Simple as can be! Check out my soot sprite invasion:


Ahaha! I love them! Next I found some thin floss thread, strung them up, and taped them to the corner of the room. Just take a peek at the view of my living room/front door:


What's that in the corner there? Some cuteness! Let's look closer:


Hehe! I may have just provided further evidence that I am indeed a very odd person. Fraser told me that as long as he doesn't catch me trying to feed soot to the little happy pom poms that I'll stay clear of the crazy list but I'm not totally convinced of that. I also put a few soot sprite pom poms up in the corner of my crafting nook to keep me company when I'm working on projects or blogging:


Adorable! Now to go watch more spirited away and my neighbor totoro to see what other fun craft projects I can come up with! What do you think of them? Have I crossed the line to crazy-ville or am I still safe in the "endearingly quirky but sane" area?
