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!

The yarn to continue my cardigan arrives tomorrow, so I am just working on more scrap type projects. I didn't want to get into starting another thing.

Also today I made myself mend a shirt (less bad one, seams under the arms were weak). I have one more shirt on the mending pile at the moment, another I've decided to cut up for rags.

Mending is a good thing to do while waiting for supplies to continue a project. I have some I need to do, if I ever get around to it.

One of the shirts is my "wear over other clothes while painting/messy tasks" so even though it needs a big patch, I think it's worth it. Less paint on other clothes.

I've got a shirt like that I wear when I'm cleaning out the fire. Actually I have three, picked up from the sale rail in charity shops. Men's shirts big enough to cover and protect my clothes.

Well done with the mending. It makes sense not to start something new when your yarn is almost with you.

[darkcedars]

It's a good time to make myself catch up this chore.

Small tasks are good to bridge over the gap between two phases of a certain project.

It's been too long since I have done any sewing. Mending shirts first then quilts later.

Nice
