Over the past few evenings I have been busy making fabric yo-yos.

Miss Clare has had a lovely time sorting them into different groups according to shape, then according to size, then according to colour, then according to those she likes and dislikes.  She likes to categorise and organise – like mother, like daughter!  I used the Clover yo-yo makers – they do make it a little faster and simpler to make yo-yos and ensure that the sizes and gathers are nice and even.  Hopefully I’ll be able to blog what I’ve done with them in the next few days!

I did stick to my “no online fabric shopping in December” vow – but instead mooched on over to Amazon and purchased a couple more crochet books.

I’ve only had a quick flick through them thus far, but all contain some terrific projects.  Everyday Crochet in particular has brilliant tops – I’m looking forward to making some of them for myself!

As you can imagine, my to-do list is absurdly long again.  I need to write it all down but I think it might scare me!  My biggest problem at the moment is deciding what to do next – there is so much I’d like to tackle.  I only have a couple of hours each evening to crochet or sew or read and at times I am almost paralysed with indecision because of too many choices!  Fingers crossed that I may manage to get a few projects completed this weekend – it’s going to be another scorcher so staying inside with the air-con on is a great option.
