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!

Maybe you could knit or crochet the body and use black pipe cleaner for legs.

Woohoo! Achievement!

I was planning to finish the Christmas tree quiet book page - all I would have to do was sewing on some bells - but a friend came over, and having friends in the house has absolute priority. :)
Saturday, October 8th, 2022 05:24 pm (UTC)
Friends are definitely the priority. I hope you had a lovely visit!

It's always good to see friends. The bells will wait!

On the second coat of paint on the dice tray, I still wasn't able to get the very small corners. (It's bat-shaped, and the points on the wings are tricky.) I couldn't find anything smaller and suitable, so after making a little bit of headway on the second coat of paint, I filled in the remaining gaps with a black marker. It's looking good now! Once it's dry, I'll cut out and glue in the felt and it should be ready to go.

I also did some knitting during a session -1 for a new D&D campaign my husband's starting next year, and I intend to do some more knitting this evening while watching Strictly.

I think a marker is as good for tiny gaps - no-one will notice.
Saturday, October 8th, 2022 10:53 pm (UTC)
Glad you got the corners worked out!
Sunday, October 9th, 2022 12:30 am (UTC)
That sounds very cool. I hope there will be pictures!

Craft fair was a bust. 😥 I did get my table fee back, and made about $20 more, but it was a VERY disappointing turnout. ALL the vendors were complaining that it just wasn't as busy as in past years, and no one was really buying anything. I may have priced my stuff too high, also. Sigh. I don't know if I will try another one, I put a lot into this.
Saturday, October 8th, 2022 08:26 pm (UTC)
That's a shame, because you did put a lot of work into it and didn't get that much back.
Saturday, October 8th, 2022 08:48 pm (UTC)
I'm so sorry ♥
Saturday, October 8th, 2022 10:53 pm (UTC)
That's too bad, after all that work.
Sunday, October 9th, 2022 12:32 am (UTC)
Aw that's sad. I honestly don't know how people make any money at all by the time they pay table fees and have stallholder insurance. Still, you tried. It's a lot of work for little results.

Sewed the beads onto the Holly Fairy, so she's now complete:

Yesterday brother and I went out for covid booster + flu shot. I'm tired but that's probably just from going out of the house.

I poked around with my African violets, potting up some young starts and rearranging a bit. I've neglected some of those and the rearranging might help. A fun thing is that Little Crystal, which is usually white with occasional purple streaks, has decided to go purple.

yesterday I unhinged two chests and put the new forged fittings on. I also painted a little red chest ready for some dots. I've been looking at washing stands, and today I'm making one of those. (hopefully)
Here's one of the chests that I made. (bought fittings)
Sunday, October 9th, 2022 07:11 am (UTC)
Ooh looks very cool! What are you going to use the chests for?
