Keep Calm, Craft On

My helper. 

Don't you love my chipped, dirty floor?!  I knew you did.

Crafting: 

How interesting that Keep Calm, Craft On can imply that crafting is a means of keeping calm for crafty individuals OR it could be a call to arms to crafty procrastinators' to just buck up and get 'er done.

I'd say this week, for me, I am in the latter camp.

Tomorrow is Uncle Nathan and Almost-Aunt Leia's wedding (Matt's brother) and I am scurrying about making a few dresses. 

Because Hobby Lobby had beautiful swan fabric on sale for $3.00 a yard, I got the patterns for $1.00 and it just screamed MAKE ME.  

Originally, I was going to make Easter dresses from this fabric (ahem) but when that deadline came and went, I justified the procrastination as the wedding would be a better time to wear the dresses.  That is, if that deadline doesn't come and go too.

Leave it to me to wait until a day or two beforehand.

Thankfully, Corynn is out of the sweet little fabrics phase of Mama-made dresses and has her own dress picked out so that is one less dress to make.   I was going to sew myself a dress (not from swan fabric, mind you) but I have nixed that idea.  I know my limitations.

 I am not insane.

Not THAT insane anyway.

Also this week I crocheted a cowl for a friend.  Just have to add the button and get that mailed out.

Reading: 

Dabbling between Baptism is Not Enough by John G. Crawford and The Deluded Athiest by Douglas Wilson.  Probably should stick to one or the other because I feel like I am retaining very little from either since my attentions are split.  

In audiobook form, I've been listening to Seven Men by Eric Metaxas
