In My Studio – April 2
.
This week, I made a super cute yo-yo bear as the final yo-yo project of March’s “Try This” posts. I want to try more of these…maybe a bunny rabbit next.
Â
Yo-yo bear was the only project I completed this week; but while driving to Purdue University to visit my daughter, I saw this sign…
 
I didn’t make many things this week, but I did support several fellow artists. NOT “spent a bunch of money,” RATHER “supported fellow artists.” That’s my take on it…my husband didn’t buy it (pun intended). Here’s what I picked up:
Handmade cards (handmade paper and pressed flowers) from Hole in the Woods Farm.
Â
An exquisite pen (for my husband) from Bunnyhop Woodworking.
A felted egg and a couple deer antler buttons (also from Bunnyhop Woodworking).
A colorful beaded bracelet.
An intricately cut cross.
Pretty new placemats.
Â
 A leather pouch that intrigued me.
A couple puppy air fresheners and some tealights.
And, a few J. R. Watkins products. I have never tried J. R. Watkins products.
What a great way to start off the weekend! I didn’t have much time to explore the Fulton Country Museum; but I will take time to visit the museum properly on another trip down to visit my daughter. I’ll make sure to write about it. It looks like a wonderful museum.
Note:Â The “Daily Inspiration” picture is the Fulton County Museum’s round barn.

Wow! Love your little bear ~ Sweet enough to be ‘in a craft show’ ~ Lovely items purchased at the show ~ I am fascinated by the pouch ~ they have been called totem pouches ~ Wonderful ~thanks, namaste, ^_^
You are so generous to support other artists- and the economy- you are very patriotic! Great yoyo bear!
Did somebody say BUNNY WABBITS?!!!! Deccy x
I have a thing for pens so I love the pen! I also love Watkins products. My mother used to get them for me all the time. 🙂
Glad you treated yourself.
You definitely did a lot of supporting! 😀 I love pens. I don’t know why.
Those round barns are fascinating! You’ll love going in there.
You found some really cool stuff, but the one I’m drooling over is that pen. I wish that place had a website, but it’s probably better for me that they don’t! lol
That cross is beautiful!
