Yo...Yo...You Could Be This Crafty

On the way to Blackberry Farm a couple months ago my friend Liz got very crafty. 

She went through her little's baby clothes and picked out particular items that were sentimental to her.

She then made them into an amazing Yo Yo wall hanging. 

For instance, the fabric from the out grown car seat became a Yo Yo that made up lots of Yo Yo's for the Yo Yo Wall Hanging. 

At least, I think it's called a Yo Yo quilt.

*Googling*

Yep, yo yo.

Yo yo is one of those terms that sounds really weird the more times you say it. 

Go on. 

Try it.

yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo

Weird.

I wasn't being crafty on that trip but I was glad she was because it allowed me to play with her groovy magnetized pin holder.

Oooh! Ooooh! I was cleaning out a drawer at my Mom's house a couple days ago and found this...um...awesome...craft. 

It's vintage even.

Yes, I made this ceramic Guess symbol at camp in 1986.

I was clearly...

Materialistic? Uncrafty?

...a Professor of pop culture.

Judging by this early attempt it's best that I leave the crafting to other people.

Because, really, how many ceramic Guess symbols do we really need?

Here is the finished Yo Yo quilt project. 

She uses it as a wall hanging. 

It turned out amazing and is such a great thing to do if you:

A. Aren't a quilter - it's really not hard!

and 

B. Have items of baby clothes you are too sentimental to give away but don't want to rot away in an attic. 

So, go search your baby clothes boxes and get cracking!
