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.

Show and Tell Monday at Make Mine Pink

Join us for Show and Tell Monday at Make Mine Pink at http://makeminepink.com/

I am working on a Christmas Yo-Yo Table Runner. It is not quite finished, but as you can see it is coming along. The Yo-Yo Table Runner is 5 yo-yo's wide and will be about 18-20 rows long. I'll have it finished for the MMP Christmas In July Shop Hop so stay tuned.

Wednesday's Child is Full of Grace

What nursery would be complete without a yo-yo wall hanging. Each of these little circles has either polka dots or pins with a button on the bottom. This would make a very unique gift for new parents or to dress up a little girl's room. http://www.beloved-creations.com/catalog.php?category=5

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 at Make Mine Pink

A few weeks ago I showed off two yo-yo's I made -- I now have over 300 and am ready to turn all these little yo-yo's into a yo-yo quilt. It will be a small quilt because 300 sounds like a lot but it really does take a lot of yo-yo to make one.

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.

Show and Tell Monday

I love show and tell Mondays because it gives me a chance to share with everyone what I'm working on, new products and to celebrate with all my pink sisters at Make Mine Pink.

Besides adding some vintage handkerchiefs, a vintage dresser scarf, and a feed sack I have finished these products myself.

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.

Yo-Yo Garland

I am listing this yo-yo garland made from Christmas fabrics on my website http://beloved-creations.com/ under the Christmas and Winter Category. It measures 107 inches, which is almost 9 feet.

I will be adding some additional yo-yo garlands next week, after I come back from Virginia on Holiday.

Yo-Yo Quilt Table Runner

Here is my very first project with all those yo-yo's I have made. It is a table runner and I have made two squares to set dishes on like bowls, etc. I do love make these yo-yo's and over the winter months I hope to make a bed quilt or at least a lap quilt.
