Craft afternoon

I had the afternoon off today and instead of doing housework, which I should have been doing I crafted and watched the 'prisoner' on dvd. I'd never seen the classic show but it is interesting and is fun to watch 30 years after it was made.

Back to craft updates. The pop-up card is from the canon website. Fun , tricky to cut out but goes together easily is a cute card and will be given out soon to a lucky birthday someone.
This little 1.5 inch pendant is my first attempt at knotwork. It went well but there is so much backround that the bee design is somewhat obscured overall. I enjoyed making this tiny project but would not do a miniature rug or larger project.

This little yo-yo bunny is the newest creation. I seem to remember these from long ago but have made a resurgance of late with the 'clover' yo-yo maker. It makes them all equal sizes and does cut down the work in getting them done faster. I tried use scraps of prints but I think the one I saw made up used coordinating prints all in one color family for a harmonius look. This little bunny will go live with my mom and could go to a good home from the local church fair. The yo-yo maker is put away for now.
