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.

Just when I thought I had everything together for K's birthday, I realized I didn't finish her birthday dress yet! Good thing I happened to look in the hidden birthday bag.

When I pre-ordered the fabric a couple of months ago, I asked K what her current favorite color was. She told me blue. Of course now it is green but I only ordered enough of the blue fabric to sew a dress. I am thinking of adding pockets in the green fabric. What do you think?

What are you working on?! Happy creating!

I wouldn't add green pockets it would take away from the lovely fabric. I'm sure she will love it!

I love the fabric and the dress, but I think that the two colors do not match well.
Love to read you.

I would try the green fabric for pockets and a large border at the bottom. And a coordinated purse/bag, definitely!

I think the blue dress with green pockets would look nice. Both fabrics are cute.

LOVE the dress. I would leave the blue dress as is- I think she will love it. IF the green is just 'burning a hole in your pocket' I would make a little apron or bag out of it.
