Check-In Post April 7th 2022

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!

No crafting for me today, sadly, but I did shift some stuff outside as I started to get ready for the tree surgeons. They phoned today and they're coming on Wednesday morning to do the work. I'm very happy about that. They should get the apple tree pruned before it blossoms.

Good luck!

I worked a bit on the page bases for the back covers: the grass patches, the flowers and the clouds are now in place. Next up: the balloons, and then I can "attack" Eyoore.

Sounds like the final pages are coming along well!

Thanks!

The roses are entirely painted but now I'm stressing about whether the bath curtains will just melt into them if I don't add more leaves. Please, I would really love your thoughts on the post:

Always best to get it done before the blossom. Gardening is good for the soul too!

I'm still catching up on posts but i did manage to see the seals which are sensational! And I'm an Eeyore fan so i can't wait to see those!

[sister_raphael]

Photos still not pasting into comments when I try. I might just be over tired.

[badly_knitted]

Well, I left my answer on your journal. I'm still in awe of what you've achieved.

Maybe if you tried one panel with vines, or even did a small test piece on a spare bit of fabric... Just to see how the vines would look.

[badly_knitted]

It can be, when it's not so overwhelming you don't know where to start!

[wiseheart]

They are, although these aren't the final pages yet. I've postponed the other Velcro-heavy parts a bit.

[wiseheart]

Awww, thanks!

[badly_knitted]

Can't blame you for that. You've done a lot of stitching velcro recently.
