Even though I have made plenty of Yo-Yos from “scratch”…without a Yo-Yo maker… I must say this little gadget is amazing! I was able to show my ChicaBean how to use it and she made these:

Yo-Yo Pattern

June 27, 2011

If you are taking part in Penny’s Yo-Yo-Along… or even if you aren’t… I thought I would provide a pattern for those who wish to make their Yo-Yo s without using a Yo-Yo maker. This pattern will yield the 60mm / 2.25in yo-yo. I was going to make a tutorial but there are so many [...]

Yo!

June 24, 2011

Not as in Yo! Ma!… and not Yo-Yo Ma – although he is my favorite cellist… as in Yo! {Oy! backwards}… you really need to either throw out those chairs or make ‘em purty. I have 2 IKEA barrel type chairs that are embarrassing. I decided to give them another chance at life. Just call [...]

June 6, 2011

In the BUGghetto

June 3, 2011

I am a fairly new resident of Texas…ok almost 5 years but I’m still adapting. It’s BIG. It’s hot. The area I live in is gorgeous with all its greenbelts and hills and rivers and wildflowers. I just moved into a house that sits next to a creek that is dry except when it rains. [...]
