Check-In Post March 17th 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!

20 rows on the second sleeve! Yay!

[wiseheart]

Yay indeed!

[badly_knitted]

Thank you =)

[darkcedars]

Thanks!

I've applied all curtains and sofas to the living rooms. Kitty can relax now. *g*
I also made first attempts to make templates for a later sewing project, namely finger puppets.

[badly_knitted]

Well done!

The finger puppets sound like they'll be fun!

[wiseheart]

They are part of a bigger project: a simple felt book illustrating a children's song. The kids then will be able to "play" the song. Our conductor asked me to make that book for her music lessons.

[badly_knitted]

Oh yes, I remember that now!

[darkcedars]

Haha great. All that furniture rearranging. :D

AND you worked ahead on something else, excellent.

[wiseheart]

Hey, arranging furniture on a 12cmx12cm surface is hard work! *g*

I have been trying to get to crochet all day, but kept wandering outside doing gardening planning in my head. I've decided it is too soon to start seeds inside, maybe wait another week.

I think I'm going to work on the tulip pattern now. It has started having little snow showers off and on.

[wiseheart]

My friend Evie says that she simply can't stand indoors when the weather is good for gardening. :)

[darkcedars]

The weather isn't even good. I've often referred to this sudden obsession as "Spring Planting Madness."

[badly_knitted]

Always best to stay indoors when it's snowing. Have fun making the tulip!

[darkcedars]

I'm on my second draft of the tulip. First was too long. Maybe this one.

*fingers crossed*
