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 think I would just rest! Frustrating to wait longer than expected to do that type of work.

I think giving yourself a break would be the sensible thing to do. *hugs*

Your professional (crafting) pride will get you in serious trouble one day. ;))

Oh, that's so much, I'm glad the rain wasn't super soggy for you when you needed it.

Finished my second glove a bit ago! I wrote up how on my journal if anyone is interested.

They look nice! There was that alien in Star Trek - TNG who wore similar gloves. I always thought they wanted to spare the actor the prosthetics and still give the character a three-fingered hand. *g*

I started working on the Hello Kitty booklets. My original idea of using paper applications instead of drawing the furniture free hand (I suck at drawing) turned out more work-intensive than originally thought. I've made the "wallpapers" and the "flooring" in all four rooms for one booklet, as well as the window and the curtain in one living room, but that was all how far I got. Meaning that doing the same thing four more times, plus furnishing all rooms will take, well, forever, since we are talking about 12cm by 12 cm surfaces here. The end of June deadline suddenly appears way too close... especially as I still have to do the embellishments for the baby books by the end of April. Argh!!!

Your word in God's ear! I'm seriously concerned about this project after today's experience.

Oh, no, I hate it when the plan complicates itself like that.

Me, too. But I'm not good enough at drawing to do it free-hand, so it's templates and glue if I want them to look neat. And I do.

I hand-sewed a seam on one of my english paper pieced stars.

Ooh, cool!

Intriguing! What exactly are they?
