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 currently working on a couple Christmas present knits. I couldn't find a moment to photograph them today without my children nearby so instead I am sharing some Christmas ornaments I am working on during C's main lessons each day (I can't ever have idle hands). I started these snowflakes a few months ago but realized I made a big mistake when I cut them out and ended up throwing them into the "someday I'll get back to it" pile. But then I thought I could make lemonade out of lemons and get two ornaments out of the one by just cutting out new backs to them. That was enough to get them out of the pile and back into my WIP basket.

What are you working on? Happy creating!

Oh I know just what you mean about never having idle hands, I'm the same, I fidget otherwise! Your snowflakes look beautiful, are you going to back them with another snowflake or mount them on a coloured backing?

They were supposed to be backed with another snowflake in sequins but that is where my mistake was made - my two sequined snowflakes don't match up so instead I am making two separate ones wit ha sequined front and a plain white wool back.
This reminds me so much of a project my great grandmother would have done. I never knew her but inherited all her felt and sequins and beads, and I'm kind of blown away by her handiwork because I just don't have the patience for it. So good for you! Beautiful so far!
Beautiful snow flake! I have been a reader of your blog for a while but haven't commented much. It's my horrible introverted personality! But your last post really touched me... I know what it is to be homesick and missing things that are familiar... missing a community that you feel so attached to. Eventually though, new roots take place. Healing starts. Take courage - God is near those who are broken hearted. I am praying for you during your pregnancy and as you get use to your home in Idaho. Aloha Nicole. ~ Karisma
