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 have now moved on to knitting Little L some Freddie coveralls to match his Freddie doll. Have I gone completely mad? Yes, most definitely! Especially since his sweater and Freddie doll are still at about 95% done. I am really beginning to wonder if I can truly pull all of this birthday crafting off!

K, on the other hand, has been very busy crafting quite a few gifts for Little L. Above is a glimpse of a pattern she created for a shark made from wool felt. It might be my favorite creation of hers yet! She has also decided Little L needs a shark themed birthday party, so there has been a lot of planning and making involved with that, too (even though the party is just for the 5 of us!)

ETA : There seems to be issues with commenting right now. Would you mind letting me know if you are able to leave a comment? I would appreciate it so very much! Thanks!

What are you working on?! Happy creating!

I really want a basket like that. Do you know if they have a specific name or how I could find one? I have too many pets and children for a flimsy basket and I like that it has handles.

Yes! It is a Bolga basket. We found them locally in Portland, Oregon but they are available online, as well. Each of my children have a small one (the one pictured was K's school lunch basket) and I have a large one. They have last us years and are still going strong!
This is their website: http://www.africanbaskets.biz/ but if you do a google search for them you'll find a lot of online stores carry them, too.

HTH!
The shark looks great. What a sweet idea to plan out a theme for her brother's Birthday.
Where did you find the yarn for the gifts?

Oh goodness, the Freddie coveralls is going to be the cutest project! And I find it so sweet that your little ones make gifts for each other. Lovely creations.
Thank you for the chance!
Where do you buy your wool felt? I have a hard time finding it...

I actually stocked up on it from our Waldorf school store before we moved from Portland. But in the future I'll be ordering from Gossamer Rose on Etsy - she's located in Portland, too. HTH!
Love the little shark project!
And I use post it notes like that to keep controll over my rows and increases / decreases too ;)

Yes!! I find that I get distracted and lose track easily if I don't write it down. Must be my old age :p
Thanks for hosting!
As always, thank you for hosting such a fantastic link up! I love seeing what everyone is creating!
I think the comments are fixed now.
I love your basket/bag...!

Good luck getting all of the birthday crafting done. I'm sure you can do it!
Thanks so much Nicole!
