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!

Another day full of non-crafty stuff, but at least I've cut out the lining pieces for the quiet book pages. Tomorrow promises to be quiet, so I hope I can finish the rocket page; perhaps even start lining and sewing together the pages. *fingers crossed*

Here is the owl I promised earlier in the week:

I am having trouble with my current project - I'm learning turkey stitch for it and doing poorly, ugh, and also the stitch I picked for the background doesn't look as good as I had envisioned and is taking me EONS to do on top of that. Hmph.

Just a little more on the surcote lining while I think about the collar.

I was hoping to do another block for the Trip Around The World quilt, but got ambushed by a bunch of other things.

I did write 400 words to conclude a scene where the MC enters The Whole New World.

We've been having a storm literally all year, but today my sinuses decided it was an issue. Before my headache got too bad to do anything else, I did manage to bake off some just in case the power goes out meals and some stitch and stream.

I watched more of Dear White People and Harley Quinn, but I only managed another 2 inches on the scarf before I had to go lay down for the rest of the day.
