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.
KCCO - honeybee bonnet KCCO - Honeybee bonnet
I had all of K's dress pieces cut out and found myself with a little extra honeybee fabric. C noticed the scraps, too, and asked if she could have a bonnet made from them. She has been in need of a new bonnet since she outgrew her toadstool one a summer or two ago. I am thankful it worked out in her favor. I used my usual bonnet pattern for this but made the adult size instead of child size. It is a little bit big on her but she'll grow into it. I knew that if I made the child size one at this point it would only fit for a summer. K has an adult sized one, as well.

I am hoping to finish K's dress (with the honeybee and dandelion fabric) before the end of the week for her to wear on her last day of school. I want her to have something special for that day since it will be so bittersweet.

What are you working on?! Happy creating!

I love the bonnet and the bee fabric is too cute! My mother just bought one for my daughter. She's been pairing it with a princess dress, floral pants, and light up sneakers. So far, none of the neighbor kids have said anything about her unusual pairings, thankfully!
