Check-In Post March 22nd 2023

[badly_knitted]

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!

No crafting done today. I was in town all morning which always wears me out. Don't feel like doing anything that requires thinking or concentration.

[wiseheart]

Did you get some nice, crafty stuff at least? :)

[badly_knitted]

Sadly no, but I got some new bird feeders and food to put in them. The birds will appreciate me.

[wiseheart]

*nodnod* One has to keep one's fan club happy. Even if they are of the feathered kind.

[badly_knitted]

And I have been getting some very interesting and ingenious birds lately. Very entertaining to watch.

I hope you have some restorative relaxation ahead of you ♥

[badly_knitted]

Still got chores to do, but I've ben resting as much as I can. So tired.

[celli]

down with concentration, I say!

[badly_knitted]

I usually like concentration, but my brain says no today. Writing took what little I had left after driving home and putting everything away.

[wiseheart]

Still on the finger puppets. I've finished the horsey and almost finished the goat. But it was baking day in our house, so it's still progress.

[yarnofariadne]

Sounds delightful :D

[wiseheart]

Oh, it was! Easter baking is a serious effort, even though I only baked two sorts of biscuits today. Tomorrow comes the decorating, and then more baking on Saturday, I think. We'll see.

[badly_knitted]

Baking AND crafting! You've ben a busy bee!

[wiseheart]

And some writing, too! I need to put the picowrimo momentum to good use before I sink into the grey zone again.

[badly_knitted]

Excellent!

[celli]

awesome on all counts!

[wiseheart]

For a long time, I found baking very relaxing; especially after a long, demanding day at school. I still love it, but I find that I tire out more easily, even from things I actually like doing.

[yarnofariadne]

The yarn arrived today and I've started the rainbow scarf!

[badly_knitted]

Woohooo! That will be cheery to knit with!

[wiseheart]

Sounds colourful. *g* Have fun!

[celli]

oh, awesome!

[celli]

I decided that I wasn't done with the solar system project after all - the asteroid belt doesn't show really well because there's not enough contrast and it was bugging me. So I'm going to go buy some beads to make the asteroids all sparkly!

I also did a bunch of crochet on my scarf today, so that was nice. I want to pick up my amigurimi again but it's been so long I'm going to have to start from scratch :P

[wiseheart]

The beads sound like an excellent idea. Sparkly asteroids for the win!

[celli]

I'm hopeful that they'll look good!

[badly_knitted]

Oooh, that's a great idea! Sparkly asteroids are the perfect finishing touch *nods*

Well done with the scarf crochet!

What amigurimi were you working on?

[celli]

A little whale! I had part of one fin done and that was it, and then I wandered off for a couple of months and now I remember nothing.

[badly_knitted]

Aww, I hope you get back to making him!
