Check-In Post May 8th 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!

Spent a couple of hours in the garden clearing weeds again, I think I'm three-quarters of the way across my patch now, and I've uncovered two plants I want to save. One is a mint, the other I think might be a self-set Nigella. I had a couple growing on the patch last year. I'll have to pot both up before I dig. There's also a fern and some primulas along one edge, but I always manage to dig around those.

On the cross stitch front, I've completed another colour (the fourth) on the long eared owl head. He's coming along.

That sounds like a lot of good progress!

It is, I think, even if I still wish I was getting the gardening done faster. I'm impatient, lol!

It's like that with me with all projects: I start with great enthusiasm, but the farther I get with them, the more I wish to get finished as soon as possible. *g*

[badly_knitted]

It's frustrating, because there are always more projects tempting us!

[sister_raphael]

That sounds really great on both the gardening and cross stitch fronts!

[badly_knitted]

It's all progress, which is good. I just wish I was faster, but I'm too old to be fast.

I've been unwell, still coviding, but managed to get a lot of crafting in and do a camping weekend to test some of the things I've been making. Current things in progress: bright blue cloak, shield (still not finished), flower curtain needs rehemming, tent adjustments to make, and ANOTHER medieval dress to make since one of my helpers has put on weight and won't fit anything I have. Still need to read back and catch up with everyone and I have a heap of posts of my own to write about things that worked and didn't that I've been making.

*sends healing vibes* So sorry you're still not recovered, Covid sucks.

But yay on crafting progress, sounds like you've got plenty to keep you busy!

[wiseheart]

Coviding - now that's a verb that has just waited to happen!
Sorry to hear you're still fighting it. Hopefully you'll get better, soon. But even so, you haven't been idle, and the crafting seems to have made serious progress. Go you!
