Pat has shown us a wonderful idea with yoyos i would have never of thought of this..Pat is so talented...

Found some colorful pot holders at the $1 store....

2 for $1...Had to dress them up with some yoyos..

here is what I did...crocheted a edge around the outside in orange...started off with a blanket stitch..a row sc..next row 3DC in sc of previous row..sc..etc 3DC 1 sc all around.

blind stitiched yoyos in the shape of a flower onto both pot holders.....they are so colorfull........and in the fall spirit.....

will spray them with scotchguard frabic spray to protect them a bit from getting dirty fast when used....

thought you would like to see what I have been up to..

Keep on Yoyo ing......

Pat from NY

Don't worry Pat i think my mind is always on vacation... heehhe

Sorry to take so long to write...Busy making yoyos LOL...

I did almost finish my second quilt and cutting up the denim from jeans for the third...I have 6 grandchildren and want to make one for each of them....the older boys will get sports designs appliqued on...

I do have a picture of the second quilt to show off...I hung it on the clothesline and took a picture....

I still need to tack it in places..might add a few buttons...it is 48" X 64"

and heavy....used no batting just a double knit material for the backing.

I will try to figure out what size circles or about I used on the clown doll....give me a day or two.....my brain took a vacation....LOL

I have Fibromyalgia....and you get these days when you feel like your living in a fog...and can't concentrate.....had a bad week of being in a flare...and each day feel a bit better......you have to bare with me..........for I love yoyoing and keeping the hands busy..

HUgs...and thanks for sharing all the patterns and ideas....

I love your blog...

Pat.....
