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
What a beautiful colour tulip Laura. Our tulips are all shooting up in the garden but none are in bloom as yet.

This is gorgeous, Laura. My tulip leaves are up, but nothing else at the moment. I love the back lighting, too.
