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: Do you have any crafting goals for this year?


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!

Posting here because no everyone has LJ. :)

A very quick post to wish everyone a very Happy New 2022!

I've missed the last week or so here as my brother (in law) was airlifted from his local hospital to one of our major ones in Brisbane for a bunch of serious brain surgeries for 2 different things, and when the surgeons closed up they cut the femoral artery and he needed a further few hours surgery to save his leg. He's recovering super well, but my sister has been staying with me and we've pretty much spent all our time in that direction.

I returned to work with Covid cases gone from 1 or 2 statewide a day to over a thousand a day and let me tell you, things are extremely scrappy. So very happy to have this group to keep me motivated to keep crafting for heart happiness! I'm going to try to read back and catch up with everyone's Christmases and New Years happenings in the next day or two.!

Craft-wise, I've had time at the hospital in between visits to work on website updates. I changed my journal style and liked it so much I'm in the middle of changing the entire website over to match. So, not really craft, but creative, at least!

Oh my goodness! Glad that your brother in law is making a good recovery, but that must have been extremely stressful for you and your sister.

Ugh, the Covid situation still shows no sign of improving. We can only hope it will be got under control this year.

A bit of creativity in any form does you good. Hopefully you can get back top crafting soon.

*hugs* Happy New Year.

Glad to hear that your brother is on the mend, but it sounds like it was harrowing! Sending you good thoughts.
Agree that this whole let it rip scenario with cases is not cool and I'm back to being reluctant to leave the house after a few close calls over Christmas. I have quite a bit of stuff for the house now (one last trip which made me regret going out, but which got the last of all the essentials), but back to work Monday week so I guess we'll see. My boss doesn't like us WFH so doubt we'll get any leniency. I'll just craft my way through the frustration.
