Check-In Post April 7th 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 managed to finish the neck shaping despite spending half the afternoon outside.


I've cut the cotoneaster as far back as I'm going to this year. It's not far off flowering and I don't want to take any more away from the bees. It looks better and it's not getting in the way now, so that'll do. I also cleared weeds from the banking around my wallflowers, which smell wonderful. Started clearing weeds from another patch of ground as well, but there's still a lot to do. Tomorrow I hope to tackle another buddleia, the one on the banking near the wallflowers.

That was some serious gardening! Go you!
Me, I was eaten by my chores again, and will be till after Easter, most likely. *sogh*

Well, Easter is only once a year.

I filled 2 buckets overflowing with weeds! So many weeds. *sigh*

I finished my miniature coffeehouse. Here are some photos. I made 5 tiny coffee cups and several coffee kettles and boxes and bags and vases of flowers. Lots of glue and superglue.

Been very busy and got exactly one row, but that's one more row than I had yesterday!

[stonepicnicking_okapi]

Baby steps are still steps! Good job 👍

[badly_knitted]

Every row done is one row less to do!

[spiralicious]

Every row is a victory!
