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 done with the three girls' hats. Woo hoo, halfway there! I just might get this project done in time after all. Now I am on to the boys, starting with Little L. He requested blues and greys, or what he calls "sharky colors".

What are you working on? Happy creating!

OK, this is regarding yesterday's book request list. I suggested a few for K on your Facebook page. Did you see them? If not, here are some more. I was a bookworm too at that age, or I was on my bike (with roller skates on just in case) or in a tree. So, Secret Garden & Little Princess are great. Little Women & Five Little Peppers and How They Grew. Pollyanna, Heidi, the non-Disney Jungle Book, 101 Dalmations, and when K is older, I Capture the Castle. The original Nancy Drew's are great. Ballet Shoes and that series in good. Swiss Family Robinson, Tom Sawyer (wait on Huck Finn), and the recent series by Alan Bradley, about a girl K's age. The old classics are the best, I suppose that was why most were turned into movies (and not necessarily good ones or true to the book). If she likes Green Gables have her read Emily of New Moon, my fave or the Road to Avonlea series. So many books, so little time. Give K a big hug from me. OK, thought of one more, Hitty Her First 100 Years. Find the edition with the craft kit. She make her own doll. Fun!

You are doing such a beautiful job with your hats. I made the baby pattern and it's got too much pull in between the stitches. I think I should have used a circular needle.
