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!

Your acorns and oak leaves design is just gorgeous! Well done for finishing it.

Your mini embroidery looks fun, but it must be a bit fiddly to do. Looking forward to seeing it when it's finished =)

The mini isn’t too fiddly once you get a few stitches into the organza (it’s pinned in place before that, but I ditched the pins pretty much as soon as I could).

I like the instant effect it has on the piece, I may have to play with the idea for other things later. At the moment I’m trying to stay with kits to keep my crafting “simple” as when I try to design things I get way too grandiose, but at some point I will be inclined to create my own…

Getting rid of the pins must have been a relief. They get in the way.

I do like the effect of the organza, I'm sure you'll be able to use the idea in other projects.

(Don't forget to PM me your address so you can get your meece! I'm hoping to post the first of the special orders next week.)
