Hi Dottie!
-=> Quoting Dottie Theriault to Laverne Reynolds <=-
 DT> My late Nana made us clown dolls from yo-yos.  She strung them
 DT> together through the center making the body, arms and legs and then
 DT> used a plastic doll face for the head.  Really cute and my brother and
 DT> I played with our till they were worn out.  Sure wish I had been more
 DT> careful then and been able to keep it and enjoy it today.  That was
 DT> some 40+ years ago..... 
 DT> Thanks for the trip down memory lane.
My SIL said she and Tom's mother used to sit together and craft
things for church bazaars, and one thing they made a lot of was
"Yo-Yo the Clown."  She said they would set up the folding table
and sit outdoors in nice weather or in the living room in not-so-
nice weather, and just make yo-yo clowns. 
Mom's gone now and Pat misses crafting with her.  I wish I'd
have met her, she died before I met Tom.  They had a lot of good
crafting times together.
Pat has some quilts her mom made, several she herself helped
with.  Lots of church ladies got together to quilt them.
I think maybe I should've been born a hundred years earlier than
I was.  These things sound so neat to me!
