Yo-YO....It's yo-yo time. When Lark came to visit the first of March she bought a kit called Yo-Yo Monkey. She did the actual kit - it was browns, golds and greens. Well I can't make anything BROWN. I need a COLOR. I combed through my stash of fabrics that I have been collecting for about five years. All my favorite colors. So I finally finished the yo-yo part of it - 16 large and 104 baby yo-yo's. YES I SAID 104. Whoooooo I'm tired. Thank goodness for the clover yo-yo maker or I would have hated every step of it. What a great invention. Now onto making the head and tail. OMG this is going to take me a while because I don't know how to sew really. I'm not a good pattern person. I SO WISH I KNEW SOMEONE WHO SEWED. More later when I actually finish it. I don't get much done in a hurry because I have to go to WORK. UGH!!! AND Artiscape is coming up really fast. So I need to prepare kits. LOVE Artiscape. It is a great Art Retreat and put on by the best organizer in the world - Lisa Ohmer of European Papers. I have a sold out class to teach and can't wait to spend one-on-one time with Paige. It will be bittersweet because Mike Meador won't be there. Now I'm gonna cry.
oh my, these look good enough to eat!! And they definitely scream Paula's Colors... And you can too sew! Anyone who can make a quilted bag with a functioning zipper Can sew!

ReplyDeleteYes! Paula's colors! So vibrant and beautiful! I'm thrilled that you got to spend time with your sister. Looking forward to seeing the monkey head!?!
ReplyDeleteI was in your class last Saturday and it was terrific! Answer to question above - my favorite picture to put in glass - a photo of one of my kittens, of course. I made a nice pendant in your class. You are such a great teacher... thanks so much!
