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!

Today was a bit crazy. For one thing, it snowed. It pretty much never snows here and honestly, it didn't stick or anything, basically we just had fluffy rain, but everyone lost their minds. So most of my day was spent dealing with other people's stuff and trying to keep my room relatively warm and dry without starting a fire (it's a very damp space on a dry day).

But on the plus side:

the storage containers I missed out on at the beginning of the year were suddenly back in stock

My nephew decided to talk out my little mice fic when he called to distract himself from getting his teeth pulled tomorrow

And I got a lot of knitting done. I think there is only 29 rows left on the scarf.

Ugh, dampness is awful, my house gets damp during wet summers when the fire is out. Also, ugh snow! Or, in your case, fluffy rain, lol!

Yay for storage containers, little mice, and knitting! That scarf will be finished before you know it!

The dampness is a constant struggle, but the snow definitely presents an extra challenge. I'm a little afraid I'm going to end up burning out my dehumidifier and my space heater is the snow doesn't go away soon though.

Thanks!

Fingers crossed that doesn't happen ♥

Thanks! It's warmed up considerably (54F/12C during the day), so I have been able to give things a bit of a break.

Those are better temps =)

[spiralicious]

Very much so

My nephew decided to talk out my little mice fic when he called to distract himself from getting his teeth pulled tomorrow

That is certainly a creative way to distract himself. Did you get a record?

I got some talk to text notes of his thoughts :)
