I have always wanted to be crafty.
I have always wanted to be able to make something for someone that they would gasp at. 
I found these yo-yosthis mobile, and this quilt and knew I had to make them.

I made the mobile for my sister-in-law who found out she's having a girl
And I made the quilt for my other sister-in-law.

The quilt was a huge project, about 5 months time. But it was definitely worth it. I might even make and sell them. 

I loved seeing my sisters-in-law's faces and smiles when they opened their presents for Christmas.

Amber, I made the Yo-yos individually, then hand stitched them together. Once they were stitched together, I stitched them to the blanket(fleece)itself.

I probably should have taken pictures during the process. It was long and hard but so fun.
