Check-In Post January 18th 2022

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!

I created my 200th Frankenbeanie, and managed to create a few more in 2021 than I did in 2020.

Craftwise I had a pretty productive Christmas holiday, followed almost immediately by a positive COVID19 test and another ten days inside.

I've got another day to go but am running out of ideas, so tomorrow I think I'll dig through my supplies and see what I fancy working on for my final hours in quarantine.

February 9th will be the two year anniversary of making my very first mashups; since my first two creations were a jackalope and a cerberus, I think it'd be cool to make the another pair to mark the date.

I also need to think up names for a bunch of my little dudes,and also come up with a better creature description for some of them...

(and my scrapbag is getting out of control again so another inventory and a push to use up the parts is probably in order)

You've been really busy since you last stopped by!

So sorry about your positive Covid test, although if you've felt okay then maybe the extra time off has been enjoyable. It's certainly been productive.

I think it's a great idea to do new versions of your first mashups for their second anniversary!

It's been a while!

Touch wood, I'm free and clear now and I was double vaxxed when I caught it (really unfortunate timing, as my booster was booked for 11/1 and I tested positive on 10/1) so I mostly had a cold with a few extra bits. The crafting and a lot of True Blood took my mind off it quite nicely!

[badly_knitted]

The benefits of being vaccinated. Too bad you had to miss your booster, I hope you can reschedule. And at least you had fun things to do while you recovered.

Nearly there with your isolation and then you'll be free again. Sounds like you've been able to keep yourself occupied though.

Free since noon today, I was *extremely* chatty when i got back to th office. I think even the resident chatty guy was getting tired of me!

[wiseheart]

Sorry about your positive Covid test. But you put the solitude to good use, so your time wasn't wasted.

Plus I have some cute new friends now!

[medievalrosalie]
