    I just got back from a long weekend at the BF's family compound in the woods of Wisconsin. So beautiful but the misquitos were crazy bad so I stayed indoors and made lots of yo- yos. Now I am wondering what I should do with them - care to share any ideas or pics??
    Thanks - Patti

    I had some jeans that were too short so I sewed yo-yos together in a strip and attached them to the hems. I get many compliments when I wear the pants.

    I enjoy making yo-yo dolls! I've made two clowns using various sizes of standard yo-yos, and two bigger baby dolls made with large padded yo-yos. Very cute!
