New to me
So hey, I bet this is a surprise, I actually made some yo yo's at the show this past weekend. I can't even believe it myself. I was sure that I'd bring the bag back home, unopened, just like after market. I'm really handwork-challenged... I have a hard time settling down some place, particularly when I'm not at home. I have bad concentration I guess. Sometimes I don't even read my book. This time though, I had no phone service, so consequently I couldn't check my email or my Bloglines.. so I had to do something! And making yo yo's seemed pretty good. And wow, way more fun that I imagined they'd be. You know. Past the first couple of yo yo's. I'm not a yo yo genius though, I didn't bring blue thread, so my white shows up in a rather bold way on those blue ones. But I don't care, I had a blast. And amazingly, the people at the show hadn't seen the Clover Yo Yo makers. I KNOW! They loved it!! So yeah, I have yo yo's. Now to get cracking on some more!
This week I'm doing some stunt work. I wish I could show it off, I could just eat it up! I will say it's using more Mary Engelbreit fabric and you know how yummy that stuff is. Anyhoo.. ran up to Quilter's Inn to grab some more of the Lecien that I needed and look who I ran into !!!! This woman kills me. Anyway, I might be scarce a couple of days while I work. In the meantime, I'll be checking on Bloglines, I'M STILL BEHIND and I'm feeling the pressure to catch up. So pardon the crappy commenting, you guys are having fun faster than I can read about it!!!

Pam.....
Don't worry about commenting, just do it when you can.I'm interested to see what secret projects you have going. Oh the drama....
You can't be held accountable for NOT doing handwork at shows. You have PEOPLE to meet! I just got some of that Lecien in the mail. HAD TO HAVE IT. MIGHT HAVE TO HAVE MORE. I'm 1115 blog posts behind in my blog reading. I used to give up and clear them out way before that, now I just think it's funny to see the number keep going up. Another side effect of summer.
Love the Yo Yo's! They look like candy! I need a second opinion on a quilt I'm putting together. It's iwth ME fab I picked up at Sample Spree. Since you're workin on some of that fab yourself, perhaps I'll email ya later on, and see whatcha ya think.
Have a Terrific Tuesday! Happy Sewing.
Omigosh, yo-yo's. I've made thousands of them in my day. I've got bags of them somewhere. Hope you have a great Fourth of July.
And HEY...I count on you to be my crappy commenter so don't let me down.

I've had so many ideas using yo-yo's but I can't sew them worth a damn! Maybe I need the yo-yo maker? Those are sweet - I love little crafts like that
I'm a huge fan of that yoyo gadget! I think I churned out about a zillion and a half yoyos in white, red and aqua before Christmas last year. I love your primary color palette, especially the soft yellow. And I have some of that blue fabric, I wish I had more, its the perfect shade of blue, and it has cherries, too!
Don't you just love Clover's yo'yo maker?! I just got the one that makes little flower shaped yo-yo's. . . Now to sit down & make a few. . . !
xo, Bren
(p.s. Glad you survived no internet connection. . . whew!) ;-)
Aren't those yoyos fun! I must have made 100 of them since April. Good hand work at Lake Shasta. You gave me my first yoyo maker & I've since bought other sizes. Thanks.
You make me cocoa for yo-yo puffs!
You always pick the best fabrics! Will I be seeing you in San Francisco? Blogher?
aaahhh yo-yo's. another addiction! have fun!!
YOU AND ALEX JUST MADE A MYSPACE PICTURE!
I'm so relieved to know I'm not the only one who has never made yo-yo's! Now I'm thinking I should try it, just to join the yo-yo crowd!
You are lucky! I have always wanted to meet Alex Anderson!
Love your yoyos PKM! I still need to try out my yoyo gadget -- someday LOL. And I know all about being behind on bloglines -- that's why I just had fun catching up on all of your posts!
Yo-yo..wuz up??? Checking in to marvel over your yo-yo's! String them together for a fun necklace!! Happy new week to you, Pam. Oh, and lucky you to run into Alex!
