What could be happier than a little pig trotting across the road in front of you, and munching on fallen acorns?! I love the New Forest!
Linking up at Friday Smiles
A few weeks back I made a dream catcher. A few readers asked if I could show them how I made it, so, here is my attempt at a tutorial! First up weaving the web. 1. You'll need a hoop and some ribbon/thread/yarn on a bobbin. 2. Attach the ribbon securely to your hoop. 3. Take your ribbon over the top of the hoop... 4. and up through the loop you've just made with the ribbon... 5. so you have a cross over. 6. Continue steps 3-5 until you reach the knot. 7. Now instead of going over the hoop you will crossover the ribbon 8. and through the loop you've just made to give a crossover. Continue on in this fashion until you get to the middle. You need to leave a hole in the middle as this is where the good dreams get through! They then run down the tassels/feathers/any other hanging decoration and on to the owner. It should look something like this. You'll need to play around with your tension until you get a firm web. Now for the tassels - I like to
Oh what a cutie Laura. I love piglings.....that's what my much older sister taught me they were called!! She used to say that if a baby duck was a duckling then a baby pig must be a pigling! Just one of the many smiles we've shared over the years :-) :-)
