    There is one more that is a bed spread that when I find it I will post it for you. It is very nice.

    We made a wallhanging at retreat my picture is in webshots & not sure how to put it on here because it says something about embedding it in the message ?? I don't have it saved to my computer but if I can figure out how to post it, maybe you can come up with something from it.

    One of the blogs they had put some on a little girls headband then a few more to match on her dress. It looked adorable. Wish I could find it now.

    A quilting club in my area made a beautiful quilt with appliqued vines and leaves and they used the yo yo's for the flowers. It was breathtaking.

    Buy a bigger yo-yo maker. I got one that's about 6" unfinished.

    This is so pretty! And how special it must be to you and your husband. I don't know that I would have the patience to do all of these yo-yos but I sure like the results!

    I saw in a magazine they took a styrafoam cone and with different color green yo yo's pinned them on the cone with little pearls and made a christmas tree. Now that I think about it a red wreath would be great. Also they purchased styrafoam eggs and covered them with pastels and put them in a basket or glass bow. Hows that? Good luck. Jean
