Yo-yos, two meanings, two crafts, do you do either one?  

Interesting, you've done both types. Cool. Yo-yos of the cloth type are being used to decorate things like hearts and so on. I really wish I had been able to do wood work when I was younger. I did get a little of it when I took an arts and crafts class in college. Mostly thin wood for jewelry. Sounds like your were good at cloth yo-yos. Sounds like you have had some experience with wood working, too. I'm surprised that I found someone who did both and was the first responder, too. Thanks and take care

Nice picture, thank you.

How are you doing with sales so far?

Still waiting for the wonderous, elusive first sale.

I think they're cute. I gave your picture a plus. I hope you get a sale soon.
Some of the material I use seems to be fraying. I think some material is better than others for this. Thanks and take care.

That's what is great about them. You can use scraps, rags, fabric you've collected. I have a couple of prints and the yo-yos come out so neat!

I was never very good at the toy either, but some people are wonderful. Do you remember the Smother's Brothers? They had the champ on their show and they made a video of different kinds of ways to play with the yo-yo. The silly brother was actually pretty good at using and playing with a yo-yo.

I meant cloth yo-yo as apposed to wooden yo-yo. My finger slipped and I got the r in there by accident, sorry.

Up above, I think response #2, if you click on the picture, you can see some finished ones that one of the people who wrote above made. You may not have seen them before or you may know them by another name. Thanks and take care.

We had someone up here start out making one old-time toy and people wanted them. So he made and sold them. Then he researched more old-time toys, made them, sold them. Now he has a part-time business making old time toys. He loves it. He demonstrates and sells them at craft shows and museums. You never know what a hobbie will lead to. Thanks and take care.

Really?? I wonder if my husband could do something like that..We know someone who could no longer work and started making birdhouses and wooden outdoor decorations, but I don't think he made that good of money at it..Maybe I should discuss this with him, thanks..

This guy was the only one making old time toys in the area, so it worked well for him. But I also think he was just supplementing a retirement income. So it was like a part-time job. But the joy in that man's face, the parents of the kids, and the kids. Absolutely precious.
