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, post it on your blog, on Instagram #craftingon and/or Flickr and then share it with the rest of us by leaving your link below.

Working on a baby gift with some of my black bean dyed yarn. It has faded into this really pretty slate blue now. I love it.

What are you working on? Happy creating!

Hello Nicole...I thought I'd join in with your crafting on post today! This is my first time! And I love the colour you got from your black beans...I tried dyeing with fermented black beans once and after three days it was honestly the worst smell I've ever experienced in my life. But the colour was very pretty....a glacial blue. I read that different types of water changes the pH and alters the colour....very interesting.
