Check-in post September 13 2022

Hello to all members, 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?

Note: I'm just jumping in for [personal profile] badly_knitted while she is having computer problems. Therefore the daily check-in posts might lack certain details. Please, bear with me, and happy crafting!

Just picked up the scarf for what I intended to be the evening but it's still too warm and after one row I decided it's just gotta wait until it's cooled off again. So tired of this back and forth weather!!

Maybe in an hour or so it'll be nice enough to do a few more rows but in the meantime I'm just frustrated!

Snowmen! Wheee!

I really hope the fair goes ahead this year. You've got lots to contribute for sale.

I'm sure it'll cool down before much longer so you can knit without getting too hot. It's a great way to stay warm in cold weather.

I managed to get outside for a bit to cut back some brambles and ivy, and to deadhead the buddleia. I did see a squirrel crossing the road, but it looked too big to be Cyril. An adult rather than a baby.

I think I'm getting to grips with the new computer. Still fumbling with some things because they're not where I expect them to be, but I think I can take over again tomorrow, if that's okay with you.

Thank you so much for stepping in and keeping the community running while I got myself sorted!

Need the reindeer to pull your sleigh full of ornaments to the fair.

Very frustrating. It was 50 overnight and now it is 90. We have weather whiplash.

Yesterday I finished a couple coats of polyurethane on the living room cabinets. Ancient melted candle smell should be sealed away. This morning, my husband said he didn't feel up to working on windows again, so I had him help me put up the new mailbox post. Tomorrow the cement will have set enough I can put the mailbox on it.

I'm to row 13 of 21 on the sand dollar doily.

That's much worse than it is here, I'm so sorry you have to deal with that! We've been between 8 and 17 C (46 - 62 F).

The forecast for the foreseeable is up and down but it looks like I'll get another few cool days this month, hopefully!

I'm glad the computer is at least usable now, and I hope it becomes more comfortable with time!

Well done on the cabinets! The doily is lovely.

I feel terribly repetitive - I'm still on a sock kick XD I'm working on a heel flap at the moment.

And does cooking count as crafting? My son declared he wanted "cheesy peasy pasta" for his tea today and I whipped up a quick tiny batch of bechamel-based cheese sauce and I'm really proud of that XD

Socks are good!! I was just thinking I need to make myself some before it gets cooler.

You're being so productive! This is the mailbox you had to jump through hoops to get the relocation approved, right?

The doily looks amazing!

Nothing wrong with stocking up on socks, especially with winter on its way!
