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!

Hope the headache departs rapidly! Getting firewood is very useful.

I think I've written about 300 words (over 3 days) for mine! So there's plenty more to do.

Nothing feels better than a job done to your own satisfaction. I hope the headache will go away, soon.

Oh, I'm so sorry about your head, I hate that :(

I hope the headache subsides ♥

Had a crafting afternoon - we were creating mosaics out of small paper squares. I'll be doing a post to my journal in a few days time.

Mosaics are great - so many different possibilities! It's nice that you can try out all these different things.

Yes, an afternoon of trying new crafts, good company and cake.
Thursday, September 22nd, 2022 07:45 am (UTC)
Ooh sounds lovely! I'll look forward to seeing the post.
Thursday, September 22nd, 2022 09:25 am (UTC)
Thank you. I was pleased with the result.

... but no picture yet, as the iPad mini is still at the neighbour's. I wonder when I'll get it back and whether it can be fixed at all or I'll have to buy a new one. I've already resigned to the latter, I'd just like to know which is the case and act accordingly.

The next craft project promises to be the Christmas-themed quiet book. It doesn't have an intended recipient yet, I just want to try out a few nice patterns that I saw on Pinterest and YouTube, respectively. Yesterday I already bought cross-grain ribbons in red, so the first step has been made. *g*

Of course, there's always the chance that I got distracted by some paper project, so nothing is set in stone yet.

Replacing tech is *evil*!

yay snowmen!
Thursday, September 22nd, 2022 07:33 am (UTC)
Looking forward to seeing the snowmen. Enjoy whatever you do next.
Thursday, September 22nd, 2022 03:59 pm (UTC)
I hope I will, yeah.
Thursday, September 22nd, 2022 07:45 am (UTC)
Hooray for the snowmen! Fingers crossed for the iPad mini.
Thursday, September 22nd, 2022 03:59 pm (UTC)
Thanks. I hope I'll learn soon what to expect tech-wise.

Finished the backing, sandwiched the quilt, now to do the quilting over the next two days, binding on the weekend, hanging sleeve on Monday. TIME CRISIS!

*pompoms*
Thursday, September 22nd, 2022 07:32 am (UTC)
You can do it!
Thursday, September 22nd, 2022 07:45 am (UTC)
Best of luck!

I dug into my stash today because I have no clue where I put all my carefully purchased floss and came out with some stuff that might actually work better than my original plan! Cross your fingers!
Thursday, September 22nd, 2022 07:31 am (UTC)
Here's hoping. Carefully purchased items always disappear when you want them.
Thursday, September 22nd, 2022 07:45 am (UTC)
Fingers crossed!
Thursday, September 22nd, 2022 03:57 pm (UTC)
Good luck!
