Delicious craisin cookies recipe!

Hello friends,

Sorry I have been MIA lately.  I have been really busy with work and some other adventures. I will recommence bogging again.
Today I kept myself busy with going to the gym, baking, and a bit of grocery shopping..  a rather relaxing Sunday :)
Here is a photo of the cookies I baked.  They are delicious! made predominately with dried cranberries and chocolate chips, rolled oatmeal flakes.

I found the recipe on the back of the dried cranberries package Ocean Spray brand.  They were so delicious, I had two but they are filling! :)

You can find the recipe: here



I am going to be working on my sister's throw more now because she is leaving for residence soon (in September) and I want her to take it with her! I will be posting progress photos :)
Hope everyone is doing well,

Neckwarmer done!

Hello friends,

How are you all on this lovely Sunday evening?  the weather has been so beautiful here and I hope everyone has great summer weather as well.  I finished this piece last week finally... not going to be wearing it right at this moment now with the heat.  I will have it for next winter season ready to go! 

 I am enjoying the colour and the flexibility as you can see in the photos it can be worn closer to then neck or as a circle scarf.

DIY: Dreamcatcher complete!

Hello Friends!

This morning I completed the dreamcatcher!  I had purchased a dream catcher kit from Michaels to make this dream catcher using real leather.  I enjoyed making it, now that I have the basic skills on how to make one I might get a little creative the next time by using different color sinew and feathers or charms.  It was fun! so below I posted some instructions on how I made the dreamcatcher.

Materials:

Ring

Feathers

Sinew

Suede lace



Beads





Step One: Wrap the lace around the ring until the entire ring is covered.  Then apply glue every now and then so the lace stays on the ring.

Step two: tie the sinew onto the ring that is now covered with lace.  Then tie every inch so there are tied sinews around the entire ring. 

Step three:  continue tying each layer using a half hitch know until you arrive at the center then tie a know and cut it off.

Sinew is completed.

Step four:  then once the sinew is tied all around, cut a 8" cord and a 12" cord and use the Lark's head knot to tie the cord to the ring.  The 12" piece will be used to hang the dreamcatcher and the 8" strand will be to hang feathers and beads.

Step five: put beads onto the lace and then stick the feathers under the white beads, tie a knot.

 

Then you are done!  enjoy!
Come again soon!

Lisa :)
