Show and Tell Monday at Make Mine Pink

Well it is Monday again. Time to show off what we have been working on at http://makeminepink.com/

I finished 1 side of the Shoe and Roses table scarf and 1/2 finished the other side. So I'll post a pic when done.

This week I have been working on a secret. The Make Mine Pink "Getting Down to Business" Retreat is coming up next month and I am one of the sponsors. As a sponsor I get to display my business in a 2x2 foot table top. So I am working on something really interesting to show case my embroidery. You will have to be there to see it though. No peeks till then.

Also this week my cousin came by to show off her new puppy. Her name is Bella and she is a Morky. A Morky is a breed from a Yorky and a Maltese. You can't tell now but Bell as a cute little dress on and she did have bows on her ears. I gave my cousin some mini-yo-yo's to make hair clips for her and she has promised pictures of them.

More Yo-Yo's for Baby Quilt

I have purchased some more of the darker pink and will use some white yo-yo's to finish the quilt. I sure takes a bunch of those little yo-yo's to make a baby quilt.

So get in line yo-yo's, it's time to make a quilt!

How to make a yo-yo

I use a cd - like a music cd to draw circles on fabric

Cut out the circles

Thread your needle with matching thread

Turn about 1/4 inch under to wrong side and stitch all around the circle

Pull the thread to gather

Tie off the thread

And Wala you have a yo-yo

Show and Tell Monday

Join me and all the ladies at Make Mine Pink for another fun creativity filled Monday! I have added tea napkins and dinner napkins that can be monogrammed. I have also added a yo-yo angel.

Finally added yo-yo's to my website

This is a project for yo-yo's I am adding to my web site under Prim, Yo-Yo, and Bowlies http://www.beloved-creations.com/catalog.php?item=240. There are enough quarter and dime size yo-yo's to add a border around jeans from a child's size to an adult size. In the kit there will be buttons, extra yo-yo, some hair do-dads, and vintage lace to embellish and shabby decorate your favorite things.
