~Dream Catchers~
 Ive been busy today  straightening out my sewing stuff
Ive been busy today  straightening out my sewing stuff in the kitchen.  I had made  such a mess and I couldn't
 find anything.. NOW I can.  :-) I want to make some dream
 catchers for my grandsons.   They are Native American,
 and its said that the web  inside the circle traps the bad
 dreams from the person  sleeping under it, allowing only
 the good dreams through.  The morning light dissolves the
 bad ones.  Ive made them  for years and I take pride in
 weaving the details of the  web inside the circle. I use
 feathers and beads and wrap  the ring in leather.  The
 one up top is not finished  yet, but you can see it.. I make
 all size rings. This is the  smaller one, compare it to my
  the web. I showed her how  to do it and she is going to try 
 to make a few for her  grands. I have 2 very dear friends
 in Green Bay, both are  Native American.. Nadine is Cherokee
 and her husband Ted, is  Oneida.  They had just bought a
 new home but before they  could move in, Ted went through
 the house in a ceremony  that they use to bless it and remove
 anything evil or spirits  that may be in the house so their family
 could live in peace and  harmony there. They were special people.
 I don't hear from them  often but I wish I would :-)
 I have a email sent to me  daily from White Bison, called Elders
 Meditation of the Day. Its  a daily blessing to me, it encourages
 me and every day it ends  with a prayer and its only one sentence
 most of the time... They  are very good.. I send them to some
 friends that enjoy reading  them. Of course I put in some music
 which I do in all my  emails..
 I was told I am Native  American, Chippewa Tribe. But we have
 no proof.. I was told that  my birth mother was NA. I wish I
 could prove it and I have  written to the Tribal Council but I
 have not heard back yet. To  not really know your heritage is
 a something Ive always  wanted to find out for sure. I had
 hoped with this computer I  would be able to, so far I have
 run into dead ends.  But I  havent given up...
 What I AM giving is lunch  to myself! I woke up hungry, had
 2 cups of coffee, made a  dozen trips to the bathroom to 
 get rid of it, seems its  always 3 to 1 on a cuppa coffee and
 trips to the potty.. for me  anyway ! :-) I am hungry though,
 but I don't know what I  really want.  COA lunch should be
 here soon and I may see  what it is today, might be some
 thing good ! They hit it  lucky every once in a while :-) but
 law of averages they  SHOULD~!~ :-) So its post time for
 this and my GORGEOUS WEEBLE  "g'day, g'day".. :-)
 Y'all have a good one now,  Y'hear? love ya and Thanks!!!
 Always, Lois  ****
 "God Bless You", is my  prayer today,
 I'm honored to call you  "friend".
 I pray the Lord will keep  you safe,
 Until I write  againl....

Hello Lois
So glad you had a good day straightening out your sewing stuff...mine not together anymore, have done so much moving it around the house. Really not a lot of room for it anymore. But I do have my sewing machine in my bedroom, I like it there for now.
It been a full day here for me, got to go to a losing weight support meeting tonight, Bob went with me. It's only the second meeting they had, we meet every 4th Tue of every month...I think it going to be real good for Bob and I.
God bless you Lois and keep you safe my friend.

Hi Hun Bun!
I have just been reading all your latest news etc. Wow! you really write such interesting stuff Lois.
Those dream catchers you are making are lovely. Boy are you a clever girl & talented too.
I do know a bit about dream catchers, because of Glen living & working in one of the "first nation" communities in Northern canada for a few years.
He bought some Dream catchers from one of their stores & sent me them over.
They are so pretty, but I never did realize exactly what they were meant to do except look pretty, & I hung mine in the window !
So it was nice to read all about them on your blog here & find all the information about them, so Thanks Lois, I found it very interesting.
You keep so busy , no end to your talent is there lol
Anyway I am happy for you & appreciate all the tags etc that you make & send us.
Have a nice day sweetheart.

Hi Mary,
Theres never an end to cleaning a sewing/craft area :-) Losing weight is not easy, because you cant see the results right away.. be stay firm in it and you will lose.. get foods that eat up OTHER calories, like grapefruit.. Popcorn is good for a diet.. FUDGE isnt !! lol..
Hiya Aud!
Glad you like all the stuff.. Ive made alot of them..and they are said to work.. I make all sizes, they are meant for hanging by the bed, but people put them anywhere, I have seen some that are 3 sided.. Donnies ex wife knew how to make those.. not many can..Crafing and sewing is good for ya.. Creating something from nothing is for anyone.. makes you feel usefull..
So nice to hear from you !!
Love N'Hugs,
Lois ****
