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.


In a tribute of sorts to Yarn Along and sweet Ginny for sending you my way I thought I would share what I am currently knitting and reading.

First the knitting - I am back to work on Baby F's Ola's shorts after a mini hiatus from them. The pattern was translated and some of the translation didn't quite come through. I contacted the designer with no response. I threw my project in the corner to gather dust but then thankfully another raveler reached out to me and saved me. Now I am happily knitting away.

As it may be clear from what I am currently reading, I am determined to get my life in order.  just can't handle the way things are any longer. Sure they are magnified at the moment in this temporary house but either way I need to make some changes fast. I picked up Frugal Families  and Organizing from the Inside Out from the library with high hopes in getting organized for the first time in my life (not exaggerating, just ask Kevin) as well as find a way to live off our much more modest income in a much more expensive area. Here's hoping they help me out! Any other books suggestion in these categories?

What are you working on? Happy creating!
