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!

I didn't get chance to post on Sunday, but I actually got some serious time in on the tapestry and also made flapjacks and banana cake.

This evening I did a little more on the tapestry. The dolphin is nearing completion - a few odd bits with just a few stitches and then the tail fin left to do. Then it's back to working on the background - moving towards the sea and its waves/ripples etc. Once I've got the odd bits in the dolphin done, I'll be able to wind up about 3 inches maybe 4 which should put the bottom of the tapestry in sight.

I've found 4 possible cross-stitches for the upcoming baby so now I just need to decide which is the right one for the occasion ( 3 more are Winnie the Pooh related and the other is a scene from Disney's Jungle Book - decisions decisions!). I had hoped to get a few more Christmas cards stitched but if I'm going to manage the bigger project, I don't think I have time for both.

In other good news, it appears that all the repairs in the bathroom have been successful (should I keep quiet about that... am I tempting fate? Oh well, too late now *wink*)

You certainly are a hive of activity! Well done on getting it all happening.

Well done on all your projects!

Wow, you've really done a lot on the tapestry, AND baking as well!

Ah, choices, so many lovely designs. Choosing is always so hard!

Fingers crossed for your bathroom, may it remain leak free.

That sounds like an impressive workload!
