Check-In Post January 12th 2023

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 worked a bit on seaming the first double pages of the quiet book. 1/4 of the seaming is now done, and I'm developing blisters on my fingertips. But the show must go on. I've somehow misplaced my thimble (not that it wasn't way too small for my sausage fingers to begin with), so now I use the desktop to push the needle through the multiple layers of hard felt. Grrr! I'm so angry that the idea with the simple blanket stitch edging didn't work out! Cross grain ribbon is a real pain to work with.

Oh, and DW still refuses to import my comments, while sending me notes that they *have* been imported. Drat!

That's great progress, but your poor fingers!

I've used hard surfaces to push needles through thick fabric too. Sometimes it ends up being the only way.

I'm determined to only do small paper projects once this thing is finished!

[badly_knitted]

Sounds like a good plan.

[darkcedars]

Oh no, your fingers!

[wiseheart]

They are suffering for a good cause! *g*

Your poor fingers

[wiseheart]

They are getting really battered from all this felt work.
Next up: only paper projects. *Small* ones!
