Check-In Post May 3rd 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 don't know what it's for, but that's ridiculous.

Today I worked on my textile book project. Not as much as I planned to because my fingers started hurting earlier than expected. Stitching through 3 layers of felt plus double-sided tape is hard on the fingertips. *sigh*

That's what I keep telling myself whenever I'm fed up with the process.

That's a lot of thick layers, ouch.

I've had worse, but it still is hard on the fingers.

Yeah, it is. Working on the Nisser in-between is a relief!

I keep not having much crafting time, swallowed by chores and tiring easily. I have nearly all the seasonal linens washed and put away though.

Last night was the last chilly one, according to long range weather, so I started planting seeds today. The container garden is full up with nasturtiums, calendula, basil, marjoram, blue disc daisies. I have seeds to plant in the flowerbeds next.

Also today is my birthday, I got even more seeds in the mail from my in-laws. Wildflower mixes.

Happy birthday!

Your garden sounds like it is/will be beautiful

Happy Birthday!

My friend says that wildflower mixes are good for feeding the bees. She's considering have a bee-grazing patch in her new garden, too.

The last couple days have been bad for my anxiety, but it made yesterday a good day for knitting. I've only got about 10 rows left on the current not-a-baby-blanket.

Today, there was no crafting, but there was vacuuming.

I will probably knit for a bit soon though.
