I whipped up this little yo-yo brooch in minutes and all the while i was thinking...yo-yo's aren't always for your grandma! This hip little number combines Rhinestone brads, may arts ribbon, and some great fabric bits from JoAnn's...turned out pretty yummy!
It's been a while since I have broken out my needle and thread. I use my sewing machine alot, but i don't hand sew as much as I used to. I entirly handstictched both stockings and was amazed at how fast it went, and how relaxing it was. Both of these stockings were made from wool felt and the entire stocking and all of its apliques were die cut using my AccuCut Machine and Dies...Seriously even the stocking itself is a die! How cool is that? The circles are from a penny quilt die, but i am not too into penny quilts...so i thought i'd make groovy circles instead.
