With the dawn of spring - when everything is new and fresh - we couldn't think of a better time to relaunch our blog, The Melly-Go-Round.  After some time away, we're committed to regular posts full of fun, fresh ideas and all things. Melly.  So without further adieu, let the blogging begin...

Re-freshingly Lilly -- Lilly Pulitzer Yo-Yo

Every so often we plan on posting a fun way to "re-fresh" some item hanging around your house...It might be your toddler's blueberry-stained Lilly Minnie or maybe a cute shopping bag from Melly.  Our hope is to give you some ideas on how to look at these with a fresh eye and recycle them into something new and fun.

We're starting with the ever versatile fabric yo-yo.  These wonderful little embellishments can be made in a snap, and you can use whatever fabric scraps you can find.  We thought how fun it would be to make some Lilly yo-yos.  While we agree, it seems almost unthinkable to cut up any Lilly clothing...how about that little shift that no longer fits your 5 year-old or the coffee-stained skirt you tried to save?  Why not give those Lilly fabrics new life in some cute yo-yos.  These are incredibly simple to stitch together (my 7 year-old can do it).  You can purchase "yo-yo makers" at craft stores like Jo-Ann Fabrics, Michael's, etc.  The ways to use these fun circles is endless.  Check out a few of the ideas here.

From Design*Sponge

• From Design*Sponge comes this adorable Yo-Yo Pillow.  Imagine how cute this would be covered in Lilly patterns. All the DIY instructions can be found here.
• The Flickr group YoYo Crazy has tons of photos with ideas along with detailed instructions on how to sew yo-yos without a yo-yo maker.
• Embellish a skirt, a lampshade, some flip-flops, a hair clip...
• Make a necklace, a bracelet, a bookmark...

If you've got any other fun ways to "re-fresh" Lilly, let us know.  We'd love to share. 

Red, White & Blue for You

Celebrate the 4th in style with something fun from Melly.  Then impress your friends with some fascinating 4th of July facts.  Did you know???

• John Adams and Thomas Jefferson, the second and third U.S. presidents, both died on July 4, 1826, the 50th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.  Five years later, the nation's fifth president, James Monroe, also died on July 4.
• The White House held its first Fourth of July celebration in 1801.  It had just opened the year before.
• Every Fourth, the "City of Brotherly Love" honors our nation's independence by gently tapping the Liberty Bell...can't chance that crack.
