Check-In Post April 16th 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!

Another craft free day, but that's fine. I had about 2.5 hours outside enjoying the fresh air and sunshine. Didn't want to come back inside again, but chores don't do themselves.

Tomorrow might not be as nice, and come Monday it'll be considerably cooler so I wanted to make the most of today. Now, I have a hot cross bun with my name on it (not literally) but I'm off to toast it and myself in front of the fire.

Make yourself a nice evening!

[badly_knitted]

No crafts today - I was baking like a fiend. You can view the details in my personal journal, either here or over on LJ. There's even a piccie of the monstrous Easter wreath I baked.

[smallhobbit]

Will catch up soon!

[badly_knitted]

Oh, well done! I took a peek and the cake looks lovely, I hope you, your mum, ad your neighbours will enjoy it!

[wiseheart]

We've already sampled it, and it is great: light and fluffy and fruity. Yum!

[badly_knitted]

That sounds really good!

[sister_raphael]

Thank you very much.

Back to painting gold flowers around the red roses, but hopefully I can start on the rose centres today too and hopefully they'll be dry enough to sew together tomorrow before I have to go back to work.

[badly_knitted]

Wooo! I'll keep my fingers crossed that it dries fast enough for you!

[sister_raphael]

I've actually managed to get all the painting done and now it's ready to sew together!!!

[badly_knitted]

WOOHOOO! Well done =D

[smallhobbit]

Sounds as though you're making really good progress.

[sister_raphael]

I am really excited about how nice it's looking! I was so worried but the painting is finished now and I'm delighted!
