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 have done it! I've created black and white meece icons and posted them here:

[wiseheart]

Awww, they are so cute!

[badly_knitted]

Thank you! I took so many photos, trying to get a few good enough to turn into icons.

[yarnofariadne]

They're adorable!

[badly_knitted]

Thank you! They're not the best icons ever, but I succeeded.

[peaceful_sands]

They look great - I like the one you've used here in particular.

[badly_knitted]

Thanks! It was tricky getting them to pose ;)

[wiseheart]

I cut up the lining for the quiet book pages and cut out the teddy bears for two basically identical pages. I'm trying to decide whether I should make them actual finger puppets or just fixed applications.

[yarnofariadne]

Ooh they sound delightful!

[wiseheart]

That depends on the outcome. I've created the one or other odd-looking felt teddy.

[badly_knitted]

Well done!

Finger puppets are fun, but it's your choice.

[wiseheart]

It is a question of felt thickness and design, actually. I don't know how well they would work as finger puppets. We'll see.

[badly_knitted]

If it's the same thin felt as the pages then it might not work. You'd figure what's best.

[wiseheart]

No, not the same felt. It is somewhat thicker and more stiff, at least one of them. We'll see.

[badly_knitted]

Good luck, whatever you decide to do.

[peaceful_sands]

Ooh decisions!

[wiseheart]

Yep, they are not easy. ;)

[yarnofariadne]

I've finally decided on making another infinity scarf next and ordered yarn today! So often I wish I had a black scarf and I think it's time to be the change I wish to see in my wardrobe.

[badly_knitted]

Excellent! Black goes with everything, we all need some black accessories.

[smallhobbit]

That sounds good - and it's so satisfying filling a gap with something you make yourself.

[wiseheart]

You know what they say: if you can't find what you need, make it yourself. Have fun!

[peaceful_sands]

Good to be able to make what you want as then you know you'll want to use it.

[peaceful_sands]

I worked some more on the jigsaw.

[badly_knitted]

Still plodding away with it!

[yarnofariadne]

Yay!
