yo-yo making

I'm yo- yo crazy right now. It's simple and cute and oh so easy to make. I've found that a 5 inch circle makes the perfect size yo-yo!











Heather Bailey has an awesome yo-yo tutorial here.

There is so many things you can make with them ...

I made some simple brooches by adding a pin back to the backside of a yo-yo.

These will be avaliable soon at MyMy!

I also turned a yo-yo into a posy on these little pouches.




Made with denim, corduroy, and cotton lining with felt "leaves".

Now lets see what you come up with.

Happy yo-yo making! :)

Bazaar Bizarre & the Maker Faire

Bazaar Bizarre & the Maker Faire was amazing!

The weather at the Bazaar Bizarre was perfect, I had all the intentions of making more stuff but in the end I didn't have time, so my booth was a little sparse. To sum it up, I made all of my expenses back and had some left over to buy new goodies! So it was good learning experience, to say the least!

Here is the front of my booth, isn't my sign cute?



These are the badges my husband and I wore during the show!



Here are all of my guys packed away to make the trek to the Bazaar.
Having rolling suitcases for shows makes life so much easier!




Here are the rest of my booth pics.
I had a lot of people come up and tell me that they had bought stuff from my site and were big fans, haha that always makes me feel good! :)







I met so many wonderful people! It was worth it just for that. Everyone was so nice, I was kind of frazzled so I hope I didn't babble on or seem weird!

I was so very excited to meet you all, you really have no idea! :0)

Bazaar Bizarre SF!

I 'll be here this weekend. Please come out and show your support! :)

Just wanted to let you know that Heyday Fashion will be temporally,

Sunday April 23, 2006 10:00-5:00

What is the Maker Faire you ask? The creators of Make Magazine, Robot Magazine, the MythBusters, and thousands of tech DIY enthusiasts, crafters, educators, tinkerers, hobbyists, science clubs, students, and authors will all be flocking to the San Mateo Fairgrounds to share inspiration, know-how, and spirited mischief-making.

... And Bazaar Bizarre will be right smack on the middle of it all!

All of our inventory will be there with discounted prices, so if you live in the area stop by and check out the goods!
