Check-In Post December 17th 2020

Hello to all members, 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: Is your crafting stash taking over or is it all neatly organised?


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 have my threads in freezer bags in batches by number and packed into a box. Well, two boxes, one for DMC and the other for Anchor. Keeps them where I can find them, then I just take out the ones I need for a project and 'file' them away again after.

I have dozens of boxes spread across several rooms containing various crafting items, and shelves in the box room crammed with yarn. I really need to get on with using it all up.]

That sounds like a fascinating project, but holding it together while the glue dries has to be tedious. OIs there any way you could use bulldog clips or clothes pegs to hold pieces together while the glue sets?

Yes, my thread is in a freezer bag, but all together in the sewing bag. I don't have any new projects on the horizon so there it will sit for a while.

I think that's common (lots of boxes, lots of yarn).

That's a good idea!

Crafters do tend to have a lot of crafting supplies, IO guess it's part of being a crafter!

Hopefully it will help 😊
