"Where's the tassel, Maman?"
"I thought you wanted a pendant like your sister's."
The look.
"So, you'd like another bookmark?"
"Well, yes." (The "duh" was implied.)

I liked it so well, I made three more!

What tickles me the most is that #1 daughter is the reader. (She blew through Storm Front yesterday- I think that was Karen who got me on Harry Dresden.) Even though I've made her several bookmarks, she just shoves whatever is nearby into whatever book she's reading. Typically she reads them so fast, she doesn't need a bookmark.
#2 daughter, who now has a dreamcatcher bookmark, would rather be outside or socializing even though she does read.
Aren't kids funny?
I'm still of two minds about the little dreamcatcher- it's awfully "cute" but I'm not sure about the feather.
Yes, very cute! You could try them with a few beads or crystal instead... : )
ReplyDeletebeads!!! or a crystal!! You are brilliant!!!!
DeleteAs long as everyone is happy! I think the dreamcatcher makes an excellent bookmark.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great Idea love it and wonderful color!
ReplyDeleteJob well done
ReplyDeleteThese are wonderful! I like the feathers! Very nice chains and tassels, too! Love the dialog, too. "The 'duh' was implied". Funny stuff!
ReplyDeleteDid I read on Diane's blog that you have to go back to school early in August? That's just too soon! I'm distressed that it's almost the middle of July, and I'm retired! Summer is going too fast!
Thanks! Teenagers are great fodder for dialog.
DeleteYes, hard to believe that in slightly more than a month I have to go back. sigh....
Great bookmarks! I have quite a collection of bookmarks, but I also tend to grab whatever is nearby. Every once in a while I remember to use one of my pretties. ;-)
ReplyDeleteWell, I realized when I read yours that I never use one of my bookmarks either!!! Haha!
DeleteWhat lovely bookmarks =)
ReplyDeleteI love using my own handmade bookmarks. I also keep extras handy to give away randomly.
Maybe you can also try to dangle the feathers from the bottom instead? Kinda like Yarnplayer's "Dream".
Great idea but I can't figure out how to have the picots inside and have something on the outer edge for attaching.
DeleteOh, je n'avais jamais pensé à faire un piège à rêves en frivolité. Ce serait super pour mon plus jeune fils. Merci pour l'idée. ;)
ReplyDeleteLovely bookmarks, I like the idea of using a dream catcher for a bookmark.
ReplyDeleteI do now use a tatted one since the one I have used for years broke, I said to myself I make bookmarks for my table and thought it was time to use what I make.
