Yo-Yo Challenge

Good afternoon! Here is a challenge I've been working on hosted by DONNA'S-In The Attic, go check it out! This is my kind of sewing...all by hand!!! I am HOPELESS with a sewing machine! I have made 90 yo-yo's using the large yo-yo maker and now I will apply them to my project. I hope it looks good when I'm done! I will post a photo later...good or not so good! ;-)

Hope you are all having a great summery day! The weather is beautiful here! Hugs and happy treasure hunting!

We have a lot in common. I love to make yo-yos and cards. I will have to checkout the yo-yo challenge. I need a few ideas for my yo-yos. I can not wait to see what you make with your yo-yos.
Take care.....denise

Hi Kim!
The yo-yos are beautiful. Gosh, until they end up in your final project they would look great piled up in a pretty basket somewhere. I love the colors. I can't wait to see what you do with them.

Happy Friday!
Kim

Your yo-yos are looking great! I don't have that many. I made 12 moraree yesterday. I still have NO IDEA what I am going to make. I do know that they look pretty being stored in my mason jar! I can't wait to see what you do with yours.

take care,
Dawn

pretty neat. I just ran across Donna's yo-yo post yesterday. Not sure that I can sit down & make 90 yo-yo's. But it definitely sounds like my kind of sewing. I have not learned to use the machine either. can't wait to see how your project turns out. xoxo, Joanna

I have never made yo yo's . I think I will do that as my winter project . Show us what you do with them , when you get them done .

Barb said...

You have been busy. The yo-yo's look marvelous. Can't wait to see your finished project.

Also, thank you for your thoughts and prayers during the past couple weeks.
They mean so much to us.

How fun! I'm like you! When I get going on something, I make them until I can make no more!

Yes, husbands and kitties have a secret society, so they think! Thanks for stopping by.

Hi Kim ~ I love the look of yo-yo's but I'm better with my sewing machine than I am by hand! LOL

Just wanted to drop by for a visit and thank you so much for the sweet, encouraging comments you left on my blog. I'm still pretty much in a fog after hearing the news, but God is so good and we're gonna get through this!

Have a wonderful weekend!!!

Blessings,
~Michelle

I make yoyos when I travel by car. I've even managed to art journal with paint while going 70mph (in the passengers seat of course!). Love your pic!

The yo-yo's are lovely! What is a yo-yo maker? I'm with you on the hand sewing. I love to sew by hand, but have a fear of the sewing machine, which I plan to overcome. I've bought a machine several months ago, but have yet to put thread in it!
