Check-In Post February 16th 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!

The first real page of Baby Book #2 is finished. The colour scheme didn't quite turn out how I imagined, plus I was disturbed - twice! - at a critical point and thus managed to glue on one of the panels upside down, so the two "wings" of the gate card won't form the pattern I intended to; of course, in such cases the glue hardens immediately... *sigh*

And as if I didn't have enough on my plate already, another massive project is looming on the horizon. I don't want to bore everyone with the details, but you can check them out here if you are interested. I wonder where to take the time for it, as I barely manage the existing ones, but we'll see.

How annoying! Interruptions happen at the worst moments. Of course if you'd needed the glue to harden immediately then it wouldn't have.

That looks like a big project! I hope there's not too much velcro involved for this quiet book.

That is the beauty of the thing: no velcro work *at all*!

[darkcedars]

GASP no Velcro?!

[wiseheart]

None at all! *is happy*

[badly_knitted]

Yay! That should make it less of a trial to make.

Sorry to hear about your difficulties with the being disturbed at just the wrong moment.

It's a lot to take on for your new projects, but hopefully you will enjoy doing them when you do get to them.

[wiseheart]

Oh, I always enjoy them - when I just start. It's getting them done what usually proves difficult. *g*

[spiralicious]

How infuriating!

Good luck with your new project!

[wiseheart]

Thanks. It's infuriating indeed, never having any undisturbed time to do my own thing. But it can't be helped. My mother is fairly considerate in this area; the neighbours... not so much.
