New Projects, and some Old ones too.

Maybe everyone else has the attention span to work on one project until it's done and then move on to another one, but I don't.  I like to have several projects going so that if I get tired of one, I can work on something else for a while...Enter Yo-Yo's...not these kind:


These kind:

I have a million scraps of fabric that are just a little to small to make clothing for Brooklyn (Unless I want her to have patchwork clothing), so they are perfect for making yo-yo's, fabric style.  

I've decided that I'm going to make a quilt top with them...someday...years from now....because I need 500 for a twin size quilt top.

I have 4.

So, I'll be giving you a yo-yo count update as they come...and someday I'll be showing you the quilt...Maybe by the time Brooklyn heads off to college...

Despite these distractions, I have managed to get some of Brooklyn's book done:




Yes, the "rough" page turned out look a little rough itself...
....Coincidence?

    I wanna know whose pants you stole to make these pages.

    Did you embroider those words free hand or did you use a pen or something to write on them first? I need to show you my embroidery project I did last summer. I feel like showing you and possibly wowing you a little will make me feel better.

    Will you teach me how to do geneology too? I have a lot of time at a computer and I want to do that. You know everything so I thought I'd ask you.

    I love your craftiness. And I love yoyo's - i helped make about 200 for my sister's wedding - we stacked smaller ones on top of big ones, glued an old fashioned button on top, and whammy, a cute pin for each guest to wear! And do you make those appliques for the onesies, or do you buy them?
