Three or some years ago I climbed up a ladder at the intermission of the play “The Secret Garden” to change the marquee of our local theater, in the snow… Worth it.

When my sister popped the question to Whitney, Whitney proceeded to then also propose to Chelsea. DOUBLE PROPOSAL, WHAT WHAT.

They’re stunning. Sorry, not sorry.

THE KISS.

Drowning our sorrows in some ‘exquisite’ vodka. (what else do you drink when you’re 17?)

Ready to venture into the storm in Brooke’s brother’s clothes. Sorry Nolan.

I remember this last one being less sexy when taking it. Oh to be young.

In all seriousness, to those effected by the impending storm… be safe and I wish everyone the best! Stock up and Stay in!

Aka is a 6 month old male Shiba Inu. His older sister, Mikan is two and a half. He is adjusting quite well, and at this point I couldn’t really imagine things without him. He’s a perfect fit!

If there is one thing to know about me it is that I am kind of a crazy dog lady. It’s okay, you’ll get used to it.

Dream Catcher d.i.y. tutorials seem to be a dime a dozen. It’s obvious why though, they are too adorable. For my first d.i.y. project and my second post I thought I’d show you my own interpretation of the classic craft.

I gathered all the supplies around my house, therefore making the project vertically free, and somewhat unique. The items I used were: a wire hanger, spools of sewing and craft thread, scissors, feathers and some buttons I found without a home. So search around your abode and find some random treasures to recycle!

Step 1: “Untwist” the wire hanger, and reshape it into a circle… square or really any shape you’d like! I went for a circular shape, not focusing too hard on making it “perfect”. In my opinion the unevenness gives it some character, and totally works for me.

Step 2: Wrap the wire ‘shape’ with thread. I used a thicker crafting thread and arbitrarily wrapped clockwise through the circle. When you are out of thread make sure to tie a knot to keep the thread in place!

Step 3: By wrapping thread around the outside and across the center of your wire shape,  create a design to fill the inner portion of your dream catcher. I created a star, but there are tons of variations to choose from! Remember to tie another knot when you are finished!

Step 4: Attach feathers, buttons and various trinkets to your dream catcher. I used thread to create long “strands” and hung them from the bottom. I also attached buttons by “braiding” them into the thread. Get Creative!

Step 5: Choose fun colored sewing threads and “trace” over your original inner design. I used lavender & purple and wrapped the thread in the same star pattern as before.

And that’s that. Easy as pie, right?

Thanks for reading, and enjoy your hump day!

Meet Mikan! She is a two and a half year old Shiba Inu and kind of my best friend.

This is James.

So that’s the beginning. This blog is a brand new experience for me and I hope to learn a lot from this journey. Thanks for stopping by, hope you stay a while.
