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 managed a bit more cross stitch. Did the orange flower and half of the blue flower. I still have the flower centres to do, but I'll get to them after I finish the blue flower and stitch the pink one.

It all sounds very pretty!

I think it's my favourite of the three designs. I like flowers, and there's a bee too! Well, not yet there isn't, but there will bee ;)

[wiseheart]

This is going to be a colourful bouquet, right?

[badly_knitted]

Wild flowers growing on a very small hillside, with a bee buzzing around them. The set of designs is called A Breath of Fresh Air.

It sounds lovely!

[badly_knitted]

Thanks! It's my favourite of the set.

Having stopped everything to make the sunflower - which was admired at the concert -(Concert itself has raised over £13,000) - I'm now working on the next square for my throw, plus pink kitty's t-shirt. Easter isn't far away, so this will be the last item of clothing, but I may do a bag if I have time.

[wiseheart]

Pink kitty will have an impressive wardrobe, for sure!

[smallhobbit]

The best dressed kitty around.

[yarnofariadne]

Wonderful news about the concert!

[smallhobbit]

Yes, they did really well.

[badly_knitted]

Wow, that's an amazing amount! Well done to all concerned.

You've got plenty to keep you busy, that's for sure!

[smallhobbit]

Indeed. I like to be busy crafting.

Seal pages, as promised:



As for the castle puzzle pages, I've made some solid progress with those, too. One of them is completed, the other one almost: 7 of the altogether 9 puzzle pieces are done, the last 2 have their motifs sewn on. Tomorrow I hope to finish those, too, and then comes lots and lots of Velcro again. *sigh*

[yarnofariadne]

Adorable!

[wiseheart]

Thank you so much!

[badly_knitted]

The seal pages are wonderful, and now I understand what the buttonholes were fir. What a clever idea! The balls can go on any button, great for teaching dexterity!

[wiseheart]

That is the basic idea, yes; plus the colour matching.

[badly_knitted]

Oh yes! I hadn't thought of that.
