Keep Calm Craft On {crafting on}

The act of creating, in one form or another, preserves my sanity amongst the chaos of life. This explains why I always have more than one project going at a time as well as why my housework tends to fall behind. I enjoy seeing what others are working on and keeping calm with, too. What are you creating? What is keeping you going? Snap a picture or two and share it with the rest of us by leaving your link below.

I am without a photograph yet again. My computer has been on it's last leg for over a year now but it finally just couldn't make it any longer. I am thankful that it lasted as long as it did. Now to hopefully find an inexpensive one to take it's place.

As for my project this week, I don't really have a lot to share. I am still  knitting my Greenfield cardigan at a snail's pace.  I need to switch back over to sewing, though. I just realized that K only has about three short sleeve dresses that fit her at the moment.

Thank you so much for your support, encouragement and gentle words yesterday!! I feel I must apologize for that melodramatic post. I could tell that you guys find complaining about as attractive as I do! I did plan on editing it to take away all that doom and gloom but then I decided that I should just be honest with myself and all of you. I was in a rough spot when I originally typed that up. I can't lie, this is a hard pill for me to swallow, but I do know that everything happens for a reason and that good things will come of it. When you really think about it,the simple gift of life itself is beautiful, so who am I to complain?!


What are you working on?!

If you would like to link up and share your current works in progress (or finished works) please leave your link below. It can now be either to your specific blog post or Flickr photo.

It's as simple as that. Remember your post can be from any day of the week, it doesn't have to be today.

Everyone has rough times and there's no reason not to share them. It can be a tough scary trip this home school adventure but what a blessing your daughter gave you with her lovely words.
New adventures and the unknown await you and your family. Will be thinking of you as the weeks unfold and know that it will work out, somehow and in some way. Homeschooling has its own adventures, different than any schooled experience but they can be positive. So happy Dad will be helping with the hsing! That may make all the difference.

Nicole, there was nothing 'unattractive' in what you wrote yesterday. Transitions can be so difficult, and this news coming out of the blue like that must have been so hard for you! It would be hard for anyone! Please remember little K's words to you about homeschooling. That should tell you a lot. You will not only be competent, you will shine. And what a blessing it will be to have your husband around more again! Just keep thinking about the positives. Your children's lives can be blessed by homeschooling in so many ways. I know you loved your Waldorf school, and it's okay to grieve a little. But everything will be okay. : ) I will be praying for you all. : )
Nicole,
When my laptop crashed, we didn't have much money to get a new computer. Our friends told us about a place in Eugene called the 'ReStore' that had refurbished computers. We got one pretty cheap! I wonder if you have a place like that up in Portland? Good luck! I know how challenging computer frustrations can be.

Love,
Taryn
