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 finished cutting back the first buddleia, which involved a lot of sawing so now my arms are tired. I'm ambidextrous with a saw though, so at least I didn't have to do all the sawing with the same hand.

Then I came in for a rest and started the third of the set of small cross stitch designs. I'm stitching the border, but I seemed to spend more time untangling my thread and undoing knots in it than I did on the actual stitching. It's progress, just not as much as I'd hoped. Tomorrow is going to be considerably colder so I'm going to stay in and cross stitch, get back out in the garden on Monday when it's set to warm up again.

I worked a bit on the mirror quiet books in the morning - but not as much as I hoped. I wanted to finish the bees and sew them on, thus completing both double pages... well, it didn't happen. I have sewn on the loops, and even completed two of the four bees, but the other two are still unfinished. Tomorrow it is.

I started a new thing (in no way have I finished any of the old things!) - a wedding present for a friend. She's getting married today and I'm sad to miss it so I wanted to participate in my heart or something.
