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!

Bit late tonight, sorry. Doctor's appointment this morning for test results (all fine). then some shopping, then writing when I got home. Got a few crafty bits, nothing all that thrilling but I found some beads I rather liked that I'll use on some more pendants.

Just been experimenting with editing the html on dreamwidth, experimenting with things safely by copy and pasting all the html from one of my master lists into a blank document, editing it, then testing it out in the posting window. I THINK I've got it sussed, I'll probably try making a temporary post just to make certain, before I paste the new coding into the old post. I'll probably keep a copy of the original coding too, just in case.

Better safe than sorry. :)

[badly_knitted]

Indeed. I thought it was safer than editing the actual posts because I can make sure I get it right first instead of trying to fix it after.

Sequin sorting for me. I was too busy with housewife-y things to do much else. Plus, I bought some really small plastic containers yesterday, so that the dratted tiny star sequins will be separated from the medium and large ones, which will make my life so much easier... once I've got the whole thing sorted.

[badly_knitted]

Well done for persevering. The containers sound like just what you needed!

[wiseheart]

Yep, the resealable little plastic bags work well for the larger pieces, but the tiny ones kept escaping, so I needed a better solution for those.

[badly_knitted]

I'm glad you found something that would work =)

I did some zigzag binding on a quilt that's been hanging around FOREVER:


That's the third of five quilts for a group of friends. It's been in the works for, oh man, years and I'm going to get them done this year! YES. YES, I AM.

[yarnofariadne]

Ooh excellent!

[badly_knitted]

YES YOU ARE! *Cheers you on* Well done with the binding!

[wiseheart]

Oh, this is so very beautiful! Getting done is a great feeling, isn't it?

[yarnofariadne]

Got a few more rows done on the scarf last night!

[badly_knitted]

Excellent! It's coming along well!

[wiseheart]

Go you!
