Yo-Yo Love

My grandmother taught me how to make yo-yo's - something that she has made a lot of into quilts, pillows, etc. She and I started on a project together, and while she has made probably over 10 of these, I have finished two so far. My goal is to have one more made by the end of the month so I can have a set of three out for Christmas.










From there, the yo-yo love continued. I made some two different yo-yo crafts for Christmas gift which are a secret (sorry, no picture yet).

And lastly, my newest yo-yo love! And they are so cute. Got the idea here. This is basically a giant yo-yo that before you tie them off, you stuff, then tie off, add a stem, some leaves and a vine curl. I think they turned out pretty darn cute! I made three bigger ones and three tiny ones. Too bad it's almost too late to have them out as decorations. Oh well at least there's next year.
And this is my favorite one! :)






**Sorry for the not so good photography...need to work on the lighting or staging area for pictures of all my crafts.
