Check-In Post December 31st 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: Here we are, last post of 2021. Looking back over what you've made this year, what are you most pleased with?


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!

WISHING YOU ALL A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR AND HOPING TO SEE YOU ALL BACK HERE AGAIN IN 2022!

The cranberry and cinnamon bread sounds especially yummy!

You've done so well this year with finishing projects, really impressive ones too.

Crafting definitely has benefits for relaxation and mental health. I'm glad you're enjoying it and managing to make time for it. I know I've felt happier since I started this community and met so many fellow crafters! Sounds like you've learned a lot and gained confidence in your abilities. 😄

I have to say that I really do appreciate the positivity and chat in this community - it has been a big help in getting to the point where I am sticking with my projects - I don't know any/many RL crafters who are happy to talk about what they have/haven't been doing and it tends not to be something that's celebrated. Unfortunately, most people of my acquaintance think it odd to spend evenings crafting (or parts of evenings) - I do have a couple of friends who appreciate some of the results of my endeavours which is good though. So what I'm saying is it's nice to find likeminded people and to see what people are working on and share progress and results even when we're all doing different types of projects.

Here's to lots more completed projects in 2022!

Yay! That's why I started this community, so people could get together, show off what they're working on, encourage, commiserate, and celebrate with other crafters. It's fun to see what others are doing, and maybe get some ideas of things to try. So pleased you're enjoying yourself here!
