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.

Ever since school ended I have barely had a moment to pick up my knitting thanks to the never ending painting projects. They had piled up through the school year (not having a garage or basement is partially to blame as well) and now I want to paint all the things. This is the kids' picnic table they helped me build a few years ago (You can see them building it here). After over a year in storage and lots of use, it is in need of a coat of paint (or sanding and stain but I just don't have the patience right now). I hope to have it finished by Fourth of July so we can use it in our festivities!

Has anyone had any luck purchasing children's picnic table sized umbrellas? I have done search after search online and I can't find any. The one that came with this picnic table broke due to the crazy Idaho winds and I haven't replaced it since.

What are you working on? Happy creating!
