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!

The Nativity scenes should look good when finished - very wise to begin early!

The advantage is that I can work on the project even if I only have a little time to spare. Today I was cutting out the Baby Jesus outlines. Mary, Joseph, the shepherd and the sheep are done so far, although they don't have any faces yet - nor any other details.

I'm also considering to make a few designs of my own, using the base shapes. I'm thinking of Santa and perhaps angels. We'll see.

Yay for sheep and shepherds!

Adapting the idea to your own designs sounds like a great idea!

[wiseheart]

It is pure self-protection, really. One can only make the exact same things so many time before dying from boredom.

[badly_knitted]

Very true.

Unless it's meeces ;)

[wiseheart]

But your meeces are all different!

[badly_knitted]

I have done some duplicates, but the basic pattern is the same for all of them.

[wiseheart]

The same will be true for my Nativityg scenes. Same pattern, different colours and accedsoirs.

Sounds like a sensible plan. Variety is good.
