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!

Still not feeling in the mood for crafting, or much of anything, although I made myself get some writing done. I haven't missed a day in over 10 years.


I did finish clearing out the coal house this morning, which was a lot of effort. I really wasn't up to doing anything yesterday. All the dry coal is now in the shed, with some in the house for use tomorrow when we've got heavy rain forecast. My coalman told me a couple of people recently have asked if he can bring them DRY coal *laughs* With all the rain we've been having, the coal being wet is inevitable. The load I've just had delivered will dry out gradually, hopefully before I run out of the dry stuff.

It has been raining all day over here, too, and I'm already dreading the fact that tomorrow I'll have to go food shopping. Good job finishing the coal house cleaning; that will make your life easier for a while. Hopefully.

I'll have to trek to the shed for coal instead of just nipping out the back door, at least until the wet coal has dried out, but as long as it isn't pouring with rain it's not so bad.

Not having missed a day of writing in over 10 years is quite a feat.

Good job on finishing the coal house cleaning

Thank you! Admittedly there were a couple of days I managed less than 50 words, but it still counted. Writing daily has helped me get through some awful times.

The fresh (and very wet) coal is now in the coalhouse, hopefully beginning to dry out, while the rain pours outside. Thankfully I have enough dry coal in the house that I wont need to go out in the rain.

Hurray!
