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!

Best news is that all the seed trays and most of the plant pots I'd put out in the driveway have gone! YAY! Can't help wondering if whoever took them didn't want to appear too greedy so left a few *grins*

Putting off going upstairs to grab my knitting bag because I am simply too tired, but in a good way.

By the park, would you by any chance mean Wollaton Park? (I don't know anywhere other than my neck of the woods that says Cream-crackered *grins* and lo and behold, when I checked your profile to see if you mentioned where you're from... Hi, neighbour! *waves*)

Still healing from tonsil surgery. I am feeling much better and finally sleeping through the night. I tire quickly, so another good reason to work on mindless projects in the afternoon. Getting completely sick of scrambled eggs and macaroni cheese. Food choices additionally limited due to lack of fridge space (our fridge died and we have been using a mini fridge for just a few things). New fridge comes Thursday!

Also, hope the new fridge arrives on time to give you more food space.

Oh dear, more buttons means more buttonholes, doesn't it?

I did manage to finally get five of my old cross stitches framed and they're now hanging proudly around the new house. I've also dabbled with my old hama beads and done a few cards here and there, and made a spice rack from a DIY kit (still to be varnished). I upcycled a couple of side tables my old home owner left me and gave them woodgrain wallpaper tops so they match in better with everything else. The house throws up all kinds of odd little projects so I just tackle them when I feel up to it.
I started a little cross stitch bookmark kit whilst I'm waiting for my next kit to arrive. The next one will probably take me a few years to complete - it's huge 36" x 41"- but will hopefully look nice in the main living room.

Hope everyone else is doing okay (or at least better than me!)

You've worked your way through a fair few projects, with all the framing, upcycling, cardmaking, and so forth, so kudos for that. Sounds like your house is becoming a home.
The new kit is stunning, I love Irises, and it will look gorgeous on your wall once it's done. =)
