Rediscovered
When I was emptying my sewing room of all the Christmas related stuff I rediscovered these tiny yo-yo's I had stuck in a jar when I bought them at the flea market this summer.
Since I was on a "finish it up" sewing kick, I spent some time putting them together into a little mat.
They are tiny things, she made them not much bigger than a quarter. And I love the 1930's-1940's prints. 
A happy little mat in the winter sunshine.P.S. Did you hear that Country Home is the latest magazine to stop publishing as of March 2009? Major bummer. And the February issue was so good too. Sigh.

NOooooooo! I did not know that. I am so sad now. I am loving the Feb issue.
ard it this morning on our local news. Meredith Publishing makes it, right here in Des Moines and 100 local folks are losing there jobs because of it. So, so sad. Meredith's products are all so awesome (Better Homes & Gardens, American Patchwork & Quilting, Good Housekeeping, etc.) it's so sad to see the economy bring any of them to an end!
Oh no, I also heard that Mary Engelbreit's Home Companion is also ceasing publicaton.
Say it isnt so! I had no idea about Country Home *frown* Guess it is a good thing I hadnt sent in my paperwork for renewal just yet.
Oh no! I had no idea!
That is terrible news. I do love your little yoyo mat, though. Very cute.
Country Home??? I'd heard about Mary and Cottage Living, but Country Home??? How very sad! Love the little yoyo mad -- very sweet!
Country Home is leaving? I thought I just got my renewal a couple of weeks ago. How sad.
I have a bunch of yo-yo's from a broken clown. I could make them into a mat too. Thanks for the thought.

Lovin' the yo-yo "doily"!
That little mat looks so sweet under the lamp!
Oh, I'll miss that mag. I'd rather they give up Better Homes than Country Homes.
The yo-yo's look great. I hate the thought of all the inspiration we will be missing out on because of this wretched economy....Sigh
Super cute! makes me want to get my yoyo's back out.
You're always taunting me with cute stuff I want to make, Sarah. Ok, this is doable for me. I love both sides - super, super cute!
So sad about the mags. Sad, sad, sad!
I love the yo-yo's.
Country Home?! Seriously?! I.am.so.bummed. I'm a subscriber and I didn't know that! I love Country Home.
Hi there!! I saw these mushroom ornaments in an Etsy shop today and thought of you! http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?ref=vl_other_2&listing_id=18590826
Hope that your Monday is going well!
Love the yo yo mat-such a good idea for using them-I'm going to remember it too!
I also loved all the loot you got with the 13.00-man you lucked out that day!
ooo. love what you did with the yoyos.
So sad about the magazine.
