I'm Co-Co for Yo-Yo Puffs!

Hey y'all!
 Before I do ANYTHING, I want to thank all of y'all for the comments you sent me last week.  I was really having a hard time and it means so much when you have people taking you to the Throne of God in prayer when you need it.
The women's program went fine.  We had a wonderful time together!  26 women were there--that's a good sized crowd!
So again, thanks y'all!  I love my bloggin' friends!
~~~ XOXOXOXOXOXOX ~~~
While browsing the internet this weekend during some down-time, I found a website called Craft Passion.  She has some WONDERFUL tutorials and how-to's (wait---aren't those the same thing??!!) on her site.
I found something called a YO-YO PUFF and was like, "Oh...I SO have to learn how to make this!"
So, I grabbed my new FAVORITE crochet hook,
Size G, by ADDI



(Hurry over HERE to get yours) and some yarn, and followed her directions and ended up making one really quickly.
Here it is:

So then I got to thinking....These would be so cute as a "flower" and I could use some buttons for the centers.  They'd also be good hot glued on a headband, made into a hair bow, a brooch.
Also, they could be crocheted with cotton yarn and would make great baby washies and also little facial cloths to take your make up off with. 
So I played a little bit, dressed her up a little bit, and here she is now:


Simple, yet dah-ling!  Wouldn't you say?  I say!
If you have any creativity to you, you're thinking other things that could be made using these, right?

So...let me know what you're thinking and I'll make YOU one--any color you want!  If you don't have a color choice or preference, just leave me a comment to be entered.  Drawing will take place Friday afternoon and I'll notify the winner via email and here on Saturday morning!
Tell all of your friends...send them my way!

I am not sure what I would do or what color but I would want one jusst because it was handmade by someone. I am so happy your Women's meeting went so well. Satan always tries to stir things up when something good is going to happen. That was a great group of women too. Blessings!

Glad things went well for you! It never hurts to "pour out your heart"...sometimes that in itself helps!!

Love the Yo You Puffs!!
