Check-In Post December 18th 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: Do you have any crafting plans for the festive season?


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!

Answer: my last festive craft is paper Saint Basil's. I did two more steps on it yesterday (and used a binder clip which helped so thanks for the suggestion).

Also do jigsaw puzzles count as a craft? If so I am working on a Christmas puzzle, which I hope to finish this weekend.

Wheee! Your construction work is progressing well!

If they don't then maybe they should. I love jigsaws, I just don't have anywhere to do one at present.

If you love jigsaws and don't have room, try jigsawplanet.com
You choose the number of pieces and whether or not the pieces should be rotated. The highest number is 300 which sounds like an easy jigsaw but on a screen, that's quite hard to handle. I find it quite addictive.

Thank you, I'll do that! I used to do jigsaws on my computer all the time, often 1000 piece ones, but that was before I started writing fanfic and I was using a different computer back then. No idea what happened to the program I used to use. Smaller is probably better for me these days, now that I don't have time top spend a week on a jigsaw.
