Check-In Post March 26th 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!

I've made the hen (finger puppet) and individually decorated 82 biscuits. (We ate a few that weren't worth decorating, but it's still a good amount.)

[badly_knitted]

Sounds like another busy but successful day!

[wiseheart]

After only 4 hours of proper sleep last night I consider it quite the feat. *g*

[badly_knitted]

Indeed it is. I didn't get much more sleep than you did =/

[yarnofariadne]

Wow, that's quite an accomplishment!

[wiseheart]

I wouldn't do this all year, but before Christmas and Easter I just *have* to go crazy with baking.

[yarnofariadne]

I feel you, I'm the same with Halloween and Dionysia XD

[celli]

Wow, amazing!

[wiseheart]

That is Easter baking in our house. I'm up to about 250 or so biscuits altogether.

[darkcedars]

Holy moly! Of course, one MUST eat the messed up cookies. Required.

[wiseheart]

We can't have them clutter up the kitchen, now can we? *g*

6 rows on the sweater back, so I'm up to the back neck shaping. Clocks went forward here last night though, so I'm tired and don't feel like concentrating. I'll leave the shaping until I'm more awake so I don't mess it up.

[wiseheart]

I hear ya! We forgot about the dratted clock forwarding and watched telly quite late in the night, only realizing afterwards that it would left us with very little actual sleep.

[badly_knitted]

I was up late too, even though I knew the clocks were going forward.

[yarnofariadne]

The clocks going forward took it out of me, too. Getting anything done is an accomplishment!

[badly_knitted]

I might have adjusted to the time change by next Sunday... Just don't expect much from me before then.

[celli]

The time change took me out a few weeks ago when it happened; that Monday I tried to pour water into my cereal instead of milk.

[badly_knitted]

We cannot be held responsible for the things we do (or almost do) when the clocks go forward. I was making a mess of everything this morning, couldn't do anything right.

[darkcedars]

Definitely leave the part that needs brains for later. Our time change was a couple weeks ago and it snuck up on me this year.

[badly_knitted]

That happened to me a couple of years ago. I'd checked the date but for some reason the date I found was the wrong one and the time change happened, but I was still running on the old time so I weas out of sync with everything. Thankfully I got it right this year, but I'm still done in.

[yarnofariadne]

A few more rows on the rainbow scarf! It's coming along.

[wiseheart]

Good, good! Slow but steady will bring you to your destination.

[celli]

yay rainbow!

[darkcedars]

Great! I love a rainbow.

[badly_knitted]

Yay, progress!

[darkcedars]

Worked a tiny bit on the baby blanket. Second skein is finally joined, this is taking ages.

I did order some fabric today - happened to see flannels were on sale at a craft shop. Picked out 3 patterns, 2 yards each, to make unusual size pillowcases (I have a jumbo body pillow). I'll have to take a photo when they arrive, are pretty cute.

[wiseheart]

Oh yes, share with us the pretties!

[badly_knitted]

You'll get there. Hopefully it will be smooth sailing from here on.

Your body pillow will be so snuggly in the new pillow cases once you make them!
