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!

Same old same old for me, some writing and some playing of card games, although I was practically nodding off over the old laptop.

Still hoping the weather will improve sometime next week, but Sunday is looking dismal — heavy rain and 12C. I'm thinking blankets and hot water bottles.

The foxgloves in the garden are flowering, white ones and purple ones. I can't see them as well as I'd like from the house, but they're still lovely.

It seems I was being overly optimistic when I thought I'd finish the front page today. It proved to be a much more finicky design than expected. But at least I *have* finished the central motif - that is, the hot air balloon itself - and it looks... acceptable. There are still the sliding clouds to do, but I'll leave those for another day.

I was hoping I'd feel up to getting started on June's dinosaur stitch a long pages but I'm having a bit of an insecurity attack so I have a feeling I'm going to sit in the dark and try to write instead.

Its election day where I am and it's going to be bad, so I think that is affecting my mood. It's also Star Trek Strange New Worlds day and that might be too.

I wrote a couple thousand words of fic longhand while I didn't have access to my computer, so I'm getting those written up!

and I was inspired by all the cool folks I saw at the MCR gig last weekend, so I spent part of my afternoon altering one of my tshirts until I was happier with the fit

Sewed the first round of four wonky log cabin blocks towards entering a quilt into the Sydney Quilt Show... We'll see how it turns out...
