paper, lace and pom poms

Late night embroidery on a scrap of lace attached to an piece of stitched paper......with added pom poms. In the dimness of my midnight oil, my nocturnal embroidery hours these pom poms looked amazing. In the light of day, when photographed, not so amazing. Too white....

They don't look dreadful, I could actually live with this, leave it as it is. Trouble is I have more pom poms, more suitable pom poms and I can't ignore them, can't ignore them saying ''I would look so much better on there''. It's not a huge chore to remove five white pom poms and replace them with old, aged, vintage, (quite possibly grubby looking) pom poms. 

I am mindlessly playing with bits of paper a lot recently. I have no idea what I am going to do with all my finished sampling from this. Initially this play was supposed to inform contents of workshop packs for a London cake day which is fast approaching. Has it? Not that I'm aware....it's time to get the playtime head off and replace it with the workshop pack head.
