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 was less than lucky today. After I had sewn in the last page of Dani's quiet book and was about to fix the other edge of the spine, I realized that the distance between the last page and the previous one was half a cm wider than between the other pages. It looked ugly, and I refuse to hand out ugly things. Not after I'd worked on it so much. So I swore a blue streak, and then undid the whole thing, pinned it together again and started anew. It isn't finished yet, as the time wasn't enough for that, plus my fingers rebelled, but I have high hopes for tomorrow.

OH no. :(

[wiseheart]

Oh, yes.:( There's a good reason why I dread this phase whenever a book is near finished.

Ugh, it's awful when you have to re-do something. Here's hoping it goes right on the second attempt.

[wiseheart]

Thanks. It did.

[badly_knitted]

Yay!

[spiralicious]

My condolences. Hopefully tomorrow will go better.

It did, even though I had to add half a dozen or so unplanned seams to keep things even moderately straight. But the whole thing is almost finished now, which is a relief.
