suffolk puffs or yo-yo's

i've been meaning to try making these for AGES
and today was the day
i followed this lovely clear tutorial

here's my first attempt which i made into a hair clip
using a clip i got as part of a giveaway i won from
Gone to Earth

http://www.gonetoearth.co.uk/primrosecorner/


then i made this
i'd already made the lace and duck button part
but it needed something else so i made a puff with one
of the fat quarters i'd won in the same giveaway


then i added another vintage doily from my stash
and a brooch pin on the back


here's a brooch i'd made awhile ago
but i've finally added a brooch pin

i'll be adding these to my Folksy shop today


********

look what i found in the charity shop
oh so fragile vintage glass baubles
they were a complete steal at 50p

yes really 50p !
i'm so pleased with my thrifting skills right now!

I've already told you I like the puffs! But OMG at the baubles - I am so envious I can't tell you - GRRRRRR!

AMAZING thrifting skills!

Hmm, you must be stalking each and every charity shop regularly. (Just kidding.)

Great hair pin ideas. I have been meaning to get to make hair pins for ages, and ages!!! (Have the pins, but no motivation.) I hope my day will come soon!

Lovely baubles!
Calling them vintage makes me feel rather old though as I'm sure my parents have still got some just like that!
