Yo-Yo dolls

Spring is definitely here,

and it does feel good.

The plum trees blossoms look astonishing, don't they?

In a effort to dig myself out from the hole I buried myself in,

I will try to post at least every couple of days... and I hope that might keep my days more energized.

I do have been doing something, the essential at least,

but in my own defense

I have to say that I've been fighting some kind of bug

or maybe even a respiratory infection for almost two weeks now.

Today it's all about yo-yo's.

In the past

I've made some clown dolls with fleece yo-yo's,

like this one here.

Lately I got inspired by Artemelza blog,  

a very nice Brazilian blog about handmade crafts

(the blog is written both in Brazilian Portuguese and English,

at least the instructions are).

She has a whole lot of possibilities for creations with fabric yo-yo's

(fuxicos, in Brazilian Portuguese)

and it's well worth to check it out.

I fell in love with one of the dolls featured

and made a few...

 I need to get new fabric markers

and get better drawings for the faces,

but still I think they came out really cute, don't you?

Still inspired by the same blog,

I also made the cutie bellow...

I hope you too will feel inspired and want to try some yo-yo making,

it is indeed relaxing...

I'll see you all later!
