Who doesn't love Yo-Yo's??? My kids love them. As I was making my yo-yo's, they were playing with them. I was collecting them in a jar, and every time I turned around, they had them out. They made path ways and pretended they were people. Who knew they could spend an hour playing with yo-yo's?
I saw this idea in a Mary Engelbreit book. I just love it. Gives your pillow case a vintage look. 
I made a bunch of yo-yo's and sewed them on the front end of the pillow case.
Here is the end product. My little girl has claimed this for her pillow case.
(I know that yo-yo's is not a possessive noun; however, the word looks better with an apostrophe to make it plural)
Boy and his best friend... well ... not exactly.
Bryce is a little rough with Daisy Mae, and
he wonders why she growls and want lay with
him and cuddle....

I made my first yo yo over the weekend! Fun! Your pillow case is so festive! happy monday : )
I remember making those when I was younger, a home economics project and enjoyed making them. I didn't know what they were called. But it brings back memories of my high school days. They look good added to a pillowcase. Great job! Stopping by from SOYCM.

I LOVE yoyos! Your pillowcase is so charming; I'd never seen that project before. This craft is so addictive, isn't it? I've made a yoyo scarf and a yoyo table runner, now I'm working on a yoyo table cloth. lol Wish me luck! Following you now thru Motivate Me Monday. Pam @ Sallygoodin

Lovely colorful pillow!

How fun! I love all of the yoyo's, they are great!
Erin! How cute is that! What a lovely way to spunk up a pillow! I absolutely adore yoyo's. That must have taken a while. Nice job!
Your kids have great imaginations! Sounds like my daughter. Just about anything can become a toy. I think your yo-yos are so cute and I love them on this pillowcase. I think you've just made an heirloom. :)
I have seen your comment several times now on my blog Creative Breathing and always think to myself, "What a great blog title." Checking into your profile I already know I like you because you know about one of my most favorite movies, "Return to Me". For that alone, thank you! I love in this post that you have the same problem I have when it comes to nouns that aren't possessive but sure seem like they need that comma. Love that! Your cabinet doors are such a wonderful idea. Your blog is just lovely. I am very happy to have discovered your blog and thank you again for visiting mine. Elizabeth
