My Creative Space

This week I was lucky enough to have one WHOLE day to myself. Yes. A whole day. Wow! I  had to decide between sleeping or sewing... and what do you think I chose? I'll give you a hint... my eyes were not closed!

I put on girly movies (The Princess Bride and Legally Blonde) and sewed away to my heart's content. Without interuption. What bliss! I made the shells of 20 tote bags for my next market. 20! I felt such achievement for that day. And very relaxed.

Here's some of the totes. They just need finishing and handles.

Also this week I've been making up mini yo yo clips. I made big ones for my last market and I had people comment that they'd love smaller ones. So, I've been making some up and I really like them.

My Creative Space - yo yo, yo yo, yo yo!

This week I've become addicted to making yo yos. I discovered them last week and now I just want to make more and more!

Here they are hanging out together before Mister 3 year old took them to play with them!

And here is a finished one with a covered button in the middle

And here's some cut out and ready to be worked on tonight when my sister comes over for craft night!

Have a fun, creative day! For more creative spaces, go to Kirsty's blog..... here!

Cute yo yo hair clips

I went to the Craft and Quilting show earlier this week and saw a kit and pattern to make up yo yos. I love the look of them but thought I would google how to do it instead. What did people do before google???

They are so simple! And so beautiful! I've made up 2 so far and sewed them to hair clips. I'm going to add them to my stall at my market next month. I'm going to get some bigger buttons to try too. Loving the look :)
