Yes, I am a Yo-Yo....

....well yo-yo maker that is. If you have never seen the wonderful yo-yo makers made by Clover you simply MUST check them out. They come in circles, hearts, flowers, butterflies, shamrocks and my new fave that I intend to add to my collection: an oval. They make creating yo-yo's easy peasy!!




Anywho.....I have found some new patterns to make. I found this one online that makes the cutest monkey ever? Is he not adorable? I bought this awesome purple fabric for him for an friend's upcoming baby.

The second one, ironically has a monkey but no where near as cute as my other one. But the lion and hippo and super cute, don't you think?? I especially LOVE the hippo.

The 3rd pattern is a very cool collection of brooch, belt, necklace, headband, scarf and bags. Pretty funky!! Oh, and by the way....WHEN did sewing patterns become $15.95?? Holy Cow Batman!! I nearly passed out!! Good thing one was on sale for $1.99 and I had a coupon for the other. I nearly needed oxygen....geesh!!

I have one other pattern on my wish list by Indygo Junction for these pincushions......just LOVE them. I think they might be great for Mother's Day gifts.

I LOVE making yo-yo's because it is portable and quick. It is very travel and "waiting" friendly.

On my bucket list is making a yo-yo quilt.....but hey.....that's not starting today.

That's my yo-yo story and I'm sticking to it!! :)

Cuffs, cuffs everywhere...

.....cuffs, cuffs in my hair......LOL

I have become hooked (hee hee hee - pun intended) on crocheting these cuff bracelets. I have been using Lion brand Incredible ribbon yarn. I LOVE working with this. I wanted quick and mindless projects for TV time with the guys. I can complete one is 2 hours or so. I have finished them off with fabric yo-yos, silk flowers, buttons and various lace trims. I have listed several of these in my Etsy shop. If you would like to customize one just give me a holler at ShellyRaeWood@aol.com or convo me on Etsy www.shellyraewood.etsy.com . More to come......
