  2. I've never made a dream catcher - that one looks great! I also like the wool and knitting in progress, a jumper? Well, as I've been to a wedding, rather a lot of things caught my eye this weekend, mainly the bride and groom of course ;-) Have a great week xo

    1. I am knitting a simple throw blanket, something I think will be used quite well this winter! I went hunting for a dreamcatcher not too long ago, mostly for my daughter, and I just couldn't bring myself to buy one. Something told me that I had to make my own, that we had to make our own ;). It's easy if get the notion!

  4. My boys all have dream catchers hanging above their beds, and over the years they have served them well.
    Your dream catcher is beautiful MJ and I know it will
    hold all your dreams well.

  5. there's something special about making your own dreamcatcher. a different connection...
    the throw looks cooooosy!

    that last sentiment - the best ones are the simplest.

    1. I would love to!!! Thanks for asking ;). There are plenty of You tube videos, but this link was my favorite as it also has other pages discussing the history of the dreamcatcher:

      I found all my supplies at the local craft store, including leather lacing. Our feathers came from our collection, but the craft store has them too of course:). Enjoy!
