Sunny side blogger

I am not a warts and all blogger
I am what I call a Sunny Side blogger
I write and share about the lovely things we do,
the happy times, the crafts and everyday magic
So what you see is just a glimpse… a facet, part of our reality
Because between the happy times, is the dirty washing, the colds, some sleepless nights
…the mundane, the everyday moments
…the usual ups and downs of family life
But here in my special space ~ Happy Whimsical Hearts ~ I like to keep the shining moments
And as I look back, those happy lovely moments come back to life for me
And that is how I want it to be
   Happy days, Kelly

A ribbon dream catcher

 

My nana has one of the most amazing craft supply stashes. And every now and again she has a clean out, and I become the lucky recipient of some lovely bits and bobs.
From one of these clean outs, I ended up with bags of ribbon…. and it has been sitting around calling out to be made into something *grin*
So when the kiddos and I went to our craft shop the other day, we picked up some lovely wooden rings and twine. Then using some wonderful pinspiration {ok, that is a totally made up word but I’m going with it} I started to craft some ribbon dream catchers!

For the web effect in the middle, I followed this great tutorial from The Serendipity, just adding some pretty clear beads as I went… to catch the sunlight and add a touch of whimsy.

Then came the ribbon ~  in beautiful blues, reds, white and cream, together with vintage floral. Strand upon strand, aiming for a full and pretty look…

And before I knew it, we were ready to catch Little Miss Q’s dreams… pretty huh *grin*

Happy crafting,
Kelly
