Check-In Post January 21st 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've finished all six major photo mats for the second baby book and I'm reasonably content with the outcome. Of course, one always finds details that could have - and should have - been done better, but that's why we are hand-crafters and not machines, right? Next I'll be making the inner binding, because that's finicky and boring and always a relief when finally done, and then I'll go on to Page #4. *fingers crossed*

Excellent progress!

The little imperfections just make everything we create more unique.

Good idea to get the less enjoyable bits done next.

[wiseheart]

I'm always cranky before I get the boring parts done. *g*

[darkcedars]

Binding a thicker book like that does sound finicky. good luck!

[wiseheart]

Finicky, yes, but not terribly complicated. It's just so that it requires exact measuring, and that isn't my forte.

[smallhobbit]

Oh quite. No two pieces are quite the same.

[wiseheart]

Not even if we would like them to be. ;))

[medievalrosalie]

Making good headway!

[wiseheart]

Actually, yes, even though I always have the feeling that I'm terribly slow. *g*

As you say we are hand crafters - beauty is in each item being unique but filled with love.
