This craft is a great one for kids.  Not so much for a child to do, but as a gift for a child that you love.  It is an easy craft, takes very little time, and is very inexpensive.  Everything you need is found on this Web site, including the printouts for these precious little dream pillows.

I like the idea of a dream pillow.  It is a gift that could reassure a child who is afraid of the dark or wants a promise of sweet dreams every night.  It would be perfect to put a little pocket on for those visits from the tooth fairy.  It would be a cute baby shower gift too.  You could put some of your own imagination into this project and embellish it a bit more to individualize it for a specific child.  I think that once you view the pattern and make one, that many original ideas of your own will come to mind. 

This is a two page pattern.  The links to page two are at the bottom of the first article.  There are printouts for five individual designs.  The instructions are easy to follow and have a page that is meant for printing.  Have fun!  This will be a great project.

Kid’s Dream Pillows

I have opened a new crafting group at Yahoo Groups and would love to invite you all.

This group is for people wishing to make through the craft medium of their choice, a memorial. Quilting, knitting, sewing, woodworking, glass crafts and many other crafts are helpful in the grieving process. They also build a beautiful memory that you can cherish or give as a gift.

Consider making:

• Crazy Quilts Embroidery Samplers with your loved ones favorites colors
• Altered Books - This is a wonderful medium for a memorial
• Collage - Another fantastic medium for creating memories
• Knitting - An afghan made of colors that are meaningful
• Woodworking - Build a small table place photographs under a laminated top

Feel free to talk about your loss, about your life, or anything you want. Help others with their crafts and get to know each other. And let’s share lots and lots of pictures.
