Friday is here!!

Woot! I always look forward to the weekend, but today I am doubly looking forward to it. I have been sick all week (nothing too serious, just an annoying cough) and staying home on the couch and crafting sounds like bliss. I have a few fresh sewing projects to work on too!


about to make yo yos for the first time - any tips?


The tree in the magazine photo is made up of yo-yos! I have never made a yo-yo before but I think I will get the hang of it; I have to sew 75 of them! All my fabric circles are cut so I am all set, just dragging my feet now :)

And I am going to sew a Ramona Rose Sock Sack!! (finally, hehe) I am so late coming to the party, but I've finally built up my courage to try it. I found some really cute Thanksgiving prints and I am excited! Vanessa from Instagram turned the dividing section into a zippered pocket, and Ramona Rose made a tutorial for it! So I will try to make one too.


What are you guys planning to do this weekend?
Hope you have a good one!

      Thanks, Katie! I am feeling better, thank goodness! It's been almost two weeks of feeling blah.

    hope you feel much better soon, Jesse!

    good luck with the yo-yo's...I had a grand vision of a yo-yo calico quilt for our bed when we first got married (ahem, 19 years ago) ~ I bought yards and yards of beautiful yellow based prints and 19 years later I'm slowly purging the fabric to people that sew and using it for linings in knitting projects
    (WHAT was I thinking???)

    have fun :)

    Oh coughs suck. The last time I had one I finally learned how to get the phlegm up the old man way. Do you sleep upon propped pillows? I heard a humidifier helps at night. I hope you kick that soon.
    However, hooray for crafting. Wow, yo-yos?
    The ohana will be making a trip to Trader Joe's tomorrow and my bro, sil, and adorable baby niece will visit for dinner.

      I am trying to do it the old man way, but I'm not very good at it! I have been propping my pillows up, but I don't have a humidifier. I think it would have helped a lot, so I might get one. It's so dry here in the winter anyway that it would be good to have.

      I wish we had a Trader Joes!! Your weekend sounds like a good time :)

    I love to spend the start of the weekend reading blogs, knitting, update my blog sometimes!, with a nice comforting cup of coffee. Then, most of the rest of the weekend are chores! Have a good one and get well!
