Making a Yo-Yo Egg


This is an egg I made by covering Styrofoam eggs with Yo-Yo's. 
They are so cute.

You make a lot of Yo-Yo's and I did used the Clover Yo-Yo maker. I really like using it because to me it is easier and faster. So when making a lot of these it helps.

Then you attach them with straight pins. I did not try a hot glue gun, because I could not remember if you can use hot glue on Styrofoam. 

Overlap the Yo-Yo's 
Now you can add small buttons when pinning the Yo- Yo's on like this one.

This is how all of these are done.

I love eggs, you think.

    Now those are darling! I'll have to give it a whirl before Easter...not much time, though, for someone who doesn't have a Clover yo-yo maker! Well, maybe one small one, anyway. Thanks for the directions. I really like these!

    What a fun and cute idea. I know I will not have time for anything this week but I will put this idea in my notebook. I must get myself one of those yo yo makers. I always seem to do things the hard way.

    They are gorgeous! Thank you for sharing. I had seen these somewhere when out shopping and was going to make some, but couldn't remember how they were done...I forgot to take a picture.

Countdown to Autumn. 18 days

  After some thought I came up with a general "get to" list for a pre - Autumn preparation. I had mentioned a couple in the last post. I will keep those and have added a few more. I needed to remind myself that a lot of my ideas are a little premature hance the pre autumn and will be better done next month. So here is what I came up with... Deep cleaning is still on Planning activity for next month Decorating inside and out.   Making a fall outfit, sewing and knitting Find some new recipes to try Make a pair of fall or Halloween socks I will be focus on journaling with Autumn being the present subject.  Making sourdough bread again This one I have already started, Watching a cozy, feel good show. So "the man of the place" and are rewatching PBS All Creatures Great and Small. In a matter of a couple days we have watched season 1.

How to Make a Portable Design Wall

I had wanted to get a portable design wall to take to retreats but did not want to pay the price. Looked at various pins on pinterest and took ideas from more than one to come up with my verison. It worked out great and only cost a fraction of the price. The PVC pipes, joints and 2 yards of felt cost under $22.00 My design wall is 4' x 4' which stands approximately 5 1/5' tall. For this size need 2 - 10ft length of 3/4" PVC pipe for the frame and 4ft of 1" PVC pipe for the feet Cut the 3/4" PVC into 4 - 4' section                                                                                       2 - 1' section              Cut the 1"  PVC into 4 - 1' section        ...
