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!

Ah yes, another crafting with Lynne day. We finished the last of her subscription boxes. The last kit made tiny paper picnic baskets (the basket part is 3 1/2 in long x 3 in wide x 2 in tall) and a set of mini cards that all had the same layout, but were apple, strawberry, or blueberry themed. She then gave me the leftover supplies from all the boxes but two, which was very sweet. We discussed what we might do next week, but we'll see.

My brain is still in "unhappy won't let me sleep mode" so I might knit later.

Or I might make a ranty post about my speculation on why some Americans have such weird takes on the metric system, based on my own education experiences.

Time will tell.

The tiny picnic boxes sounds like a fun thing to do.

Thanks! They were. The precut stickers from the kit made them pretty easy too.

The picnic baskets sound very cute. I hope your brain eased up on you ♥

[spiralicious]

Thanks x2

The brain and I are negotiating a truce.

The little picnic baskets sound adorable!

So sorry you're having trouble sleeping, hope that resolves soon. Enjoy your knitting. Or your rant, as the case may be.

Thanks x3

Not sure where I'm going to store the baskets until I find them homes though.

Knitting won out.

Knitting is a relaxing activity, less stressful than ranting =)

[spiralicious]

Indeed

[wiseheart]

I'd love to read that ranty post. Have you made it in the end?

[spiralicious]

I didn't end up making it, but I may still yet. My brain kind of fizzled and I need to organize my thoughts a bit better. Also, I'm not sure it's actually as interesting as seemed when I first thought of it.

If I do post it, I'll be sure to link you.
