Check-In Post December 22nd 2021

Hello to all members, passers-by, curious onlookers, and shy lurkers, and welcome to our regular daily check-in post. Just leave a comment below to let us know how your current projects are progressing, or even if they're not.

Checking in is NOT compulsory, check in as often or as seldom as you want, this community isn't about pressure it's about encouragement, motivation, and support. Crafting is meant to be fun, and what's more fun than sharing achievements and seeing the wonderful things everyone else is creating?

There may also occasionally be questions, but again you don't have to answer them, they're just a way of getting to know each other a bit better.


Today's Question: No question today.


If anyone has any questions of their own about the community, or suggestions for tags, questions to be asked on the check-in posts, or if anyone is interested in playing check-in host for a week here on the community, which would entail putting up the daily check-in posts and responding to comments, go to the Questions & Suggestions post and leave a comment.

I now declare this Check-In OPEN!

And... Same as yesterday. 10 more meeces have ears, five more to go, plus tails and faces. With luck the last 5 will get their ears tomorrow, and some will acquire tails. Batch three are almost completed!

[wiseheart]

Impressive!

[badly_knitted]

Thanks, I'm trying to get them all finished by Christmas Day!

[peaceful_sands]

Will they be chasing their tails while they wait for you to get them? 😋

[badly_knitted]

Probably just getting tangled in them. The meeces are bagged up in sets of 5 with all their bits.

great work!

[badly_knitted]

Thanks!

[wiseheart]

I've completed the decorating of the Christmas tree. For brave souls, various pictures can be seen here.

[badly_knitted]

I think your decorations look lovely on your tree!

[wiseheart]

Thanks. The decorations are quite satisfying, I think. I didn't hope they'll look so well.

[peaceful_sands]

Your tree looks great

[wiseheart]

Except that it isn't really a *tree*...

[medievalrosalie]

I think it looks really nice!

[wiseheart]

Thanks. For a piece of plastic it isn't half-bad, I think. Even though I still painfully miss a real tree.

I made another two mini stockings and stuffed them along with the one made last night with sweets. I have enough sweets left for two or three more stockings, I think. Hopefully I’ll get a couple more done tomorrow and be able to say the stockings are finished by Friday at the latest (some are being made for people I won’t see until about the 30th so I have some leeway).

[badly_knitted]

Wonderful! Stocking production sounds like it's going well!

[medievalrosalie]

That sounds really good!

[wiseheart]

How many are you planning to make altogether?

[peaceful_sands]

I've already given away three as gifts. I am aiming for 6 more.

[medievalrosalie]

More picture editing. Slower going than I anticipated, but cute and rewarding. Spent a little time messing around with journal themes and found a new, cleaner one for my journal here. Probably going to leave the LJ one the way it is as it matches my website.
No roses sewing today likely.

[badly_knitted]

Sounds like a busy day!

Hm... I wonder if I should change my theme here. I like it, but sometimes a change is good.

You'll get back to the roses when you feel like it.

[wiseheart]

Do things that you enjoy. The roses will wait.
