Yo Yo quilt

I found this photo of this lovely yo-yo quilt while I was exploring flickr. Looking at it I wish I could touch it.  The maker of this quilt must have put a lot of care into it's creation.  It looks to me like tiny little flowers laid perfectly on the bed.                                                                   I recently found a real bargain at my local Tuesday Morning Shop on a set of Clover Yo-Yo Makers. The set included a large and a small Heart shaped and Flower shaped yo-yo maker. I have plans to make a flower yo-yo border to add to a ready made curtain.

Now I just need to make my color and fabric choices.  When the project is finished, I'm hanging the curtain in my craft room.
I'm also hoping to make a Yo-Yo throw.  I do have a collection of tiny yo-yo s waiting to be put together, but not sure yet what to make...maybe a pillow cover.

I love working on small take and make projects.  Looks like I'll be happily occupied at Starbucks while sipping my Green Tea.

Lisa's work is so stunning.

Something New

As I explore flickr I'm finding some really awesome art that is being submitted by some very creative people.  So I'm starting a new label titled "Artsy Favorites".  This label will include photo submissions of all kinds of artsy work, including Artist Trading Cards, Journal Pages, Altered Art, Digital Art, Home Decor, Jewelry, and so much more.  I love sharing and flickr makes it so easy.

I love how the little flowers underneath this image came through, like a tattoo on her cheek.

I created a series of ATCs using images from the Graphics Fairy and plain old packing tape. I love the this type of image transfer, it's fast and easy.

I was recently invited to join a fickr group,"Let's Swap ATCs", and I signed up for my first group challenge. Creating cards for the letters P, Q and R was fast, fun and the inspiration came so easily. I had all the little bits and pieces all cut out, except for the crown, in my collection of papers and clip art ephemera. I hope the next challenge I join is just as enjoyable. I can't wait to see all the submissions for this challenge.
