Dream Catchers and New Beginnings<3

New things always excite me especially when that "new thing" manages to cry all night long and still remain the cutest, most adorable creature in the planet! Yes, more BABIES (really in plural form) in the family!

My eldest sister just gave birth to her second baby boy and my second sister is about to give birth this month to her third daughter! So in celebration of this baby boom in our family, my third sister, Carla, and I, plus the husbands of my sisters, organized a surprise (ehem) baby shower party last Sunday. I was super excited coz a party meant a chance to craft!!!Yey!


Our theme was originally Cowboys and Indians but we ended up doing the Indian theme only since my other sister gave birth a week before the party! The invitation was designed by Carla and the copy was by me. You can't read it without singing it *wink* 




I made a BIG dream catcher and 4 small ones and Ate Carla made the banderitas to decorate our garage.





I had no idea how to make a dream catcher so I experimented with a thick wire, binding rings, jute string, beads, and crochet threads.




It took me almost an hour to cover the whole wire...





But it was so fulfilling when I finished. Really worth it!:) Here's how the big dream catcher looks. I added beads in the middle to give it more color.






I just super love the colors! It's so HAPPY!:)





This is my favorite piece...orange <3





I hung one small dream catcher at the entrance of the sala and a few more at the "photo booth" area.




Here's my niece, Sofia, loving the dream catchers and helping us set the whole place up. Thanks Sofia!<3 





My sister Ria finally arrived. SURPRISE!:) Ate Carla wore the head dress she made on Ate Ria. The feathers are made with printed cloth. She also made a teepee for the dining table. Great job!:)  







Ate Ria took photos with the dream catchers I made.






It was a day full of blessings, crafts, and family! Perfect combination:) 



*CHEERS* to my crafting partner on this project. We did it, Ats! Oh, the crazy creative stuff we do for all these kids!!!:)








All these dream catchers are in my room now. Good bye bad dreams and hello to new inspirations:) Ahhh, what a beautiful day! <3
