Dreamcatcher

Poor little Emily tends to have quite bad dreams, and will wake up screaming in the middle of the night. So when DH heard people talking about the same problem on the radio he took interest.

One suggestion was to put up a dreamcatcher to catch the bad dreams and take them away.

So myself and Emily had a crafty afternoon and made a little dreamcatcher.

Its not maybe quite right as I just did a star in the middle of the circle, not a web. But I do like the notion that the one bead in the middle is the spider who catches the bad dreams.

And so far it seems to have worked pretty well. The night-wakenings have lessened. Now she just tends to be woken up by Oliver when he cries for his night feed!
