Happy Easter

This is a picture of my yo-yo chick. I am including the funny story that goes with this yo-yo project. Today an idea about an Easter chick popped into my head, and I couldn't stop thinking about this project. Therefore, I decided to make one while at work teaching my class. Remember, I am an excellent multi-tasker. When I finished, I went to show our secretary that answers the phones in the main office; she loved it. She loved it so much, she thought I was giving it to her. She smiled really big and giggled too. I ended up totally making her day. Standing there in a bit of shock, I remembered I had given her a snowmen, yo-yo, ornament for Christmas. Thinking, giggling and smiling, I didn't say anything to her, and I let her keep it. I didn't have the heart to tell her; I really wanted it for myself. An awkward moment was evaded because I didn't want to explain away any hurt feelings by telling her no. Rushing back to my room during my break time, I quickly made another one. Five minutes later my second chick was completed.

No Easter is complete unless you have bunny napkin rings. Hope you are as blessed as I am?

Best Wishes. http://www.flickr.com/photos/25159120@N04/show/

Baby It's Cold Outside

Merry Christmas. I made two yo-yo scarves out of a cake layer. The cake layer I used was "Nest" by Tula Pink. The first scarf I am wearing is the dark side of the spectrum. I kept this one and sent the other one as a present to my friend Jamie in Missouri. She got the one I am wearing in the next picture which is the lighter side of the spectrum. Each scarf took twenty yo-yos, and I used the Clover JUMBO yo-yo maker. Hopefully you know someone that needs a new scarf?

See the lighter colors in this scarf? Each scarf took one day to make, so if you still need a last minute gift. Why not try to make one of these fun scarves? Happy New Year, too.

Isn't this to cute Leslie has come up with more darling yoyo patterns.

They are so neat i cant stand it lol . The detail is so neat but she makes it easy in her instructions you can get all 4 in a set or you can get them by twos.

I just love these they would look good by my tree or even on my table but wait look what she all so have designed its so precious and sooooooooooooooooooo cool.. yes a darling navity set soooooooooooooooooo neat i bet they would look good next to animals wise men and a barn. You could replace that old navity set you have an put them in it lol..and the last one i want to share with you is her antique Santa You can get these patterns here at my online store.

I finished my wreath today it was very easy and fun . Leslie instructions were very easy to follow and even tho i changed the ribbons and since we have a window on our door i had to felt the back because thru the window you can see all my stitches and plastic canvas. I have many ideas now since i have made one you should make one it was fun the bells in the middle are great imagination .

Just wanted to share my christmas wreath. Happy thanksgiving!!!!
