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.



Ever since I found this tutorial, I just can't stop dreaming about fabric for pillowcases. I think ever member of my family will have a new pillowcase (or two or three!) by the time I am done. I am starting with the girls, C in particular since her birthday is just around the corner. I have been trying to create a "horse bedroom" for my girls (their request), and pillowcases seem like a good place to continue that theme.

The fabrics you see above are from two separate lines - the horses are from Wee Wander by Sarah Jane and then the flower and strawberry fabrics are from Briar Rose by Heather Ross. I think they compliment each other quite well, and will help bring together the girls' curtains and a special quilt in the works for C's bed (made by the talented Thouraya). K will also get a horse pillow but her horses will be on a green background, as that is her favorite color.

What are you working on?! Happy creating!
