Check-In Post June 6th 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!

No crafting yet today, but last night I made 12 sets of spider legs while watching TV. Hoping to do the same tonight.


This after though, I put together a small flat-pack shelf unit I bought a couple of years ago. shifted things in the boxroom so I could put it where I want it, and then shoved a load of DVDs into it. I've been moving a lot of stuff around because I'm trying to get access to the cabinet where all my various punches are. I want to move them to somewhere I'll be able to get at them, so hopefully I can get that far tomorrow...

Organisation and spider legs are a win!

[badly_knitted]

All kinds of progress happening here! At least the activity keeps me from freezing. So much for summer, 15C outside today, several degrees lower indoors.

[yarnofariadne]

It was the same here, too - cloudy and chilly. I like it more than the heat but it did catch me off-guard when I went outside in short sleeves!

[badly_knitted]

I need it to be warmer, my body does not retain heat well and neither does my house, so I'm bundled up like it's midwinter just trying to stay warm. Hot water bottle again tonight. Temperature's dropping to 8C.

Good luck! Getting my punches in places with easy access has been an ongoing project for me for at least two years. Still no permanent solution, unfortunately.

[badly_knitted]

I have a bit plastic set of drawers on wheels and I'm hoping the punches will fit in one of the drawers.

Ah, organizing! Can be fun, can also be painful. I hope yours was more of the first than the second.

[badly_knitted]

Mine weas mostly tiring but productive. I've done more this morning.

[yarnofariadne]

Just a bit more done on the teeny plushie scarf :)

[wiseheart]

Sounds really cute! :)

[badly_knitted]

So looking forward to seeing the mini scarf alongside the big one *grins*

[celli]

Yay!

[wiseheart]

I've made two new tags for the baby book today; not as work-intensive as the previous ones, since this time I could use some ready-made embellishments, like self-adhesive acrylic stones and handmade paper flowers, but still a lot of effort nonetheless. I'm happy with the outcome, so it was worth the effort.

[yarnofariadne]

I'm so glad you're happy with them!

[wiseheart]

Yeah, it is nice for a change. ;)

[badly_knitted]

Yay! How many tags do you need to make?

[wiseheart]

Too many! Somewhere between 14 and 30, I think. But it is fun (so far).

[badly_knitted]

That's a lot!

[wiseheart]

Yes, but every single one is different, so I really enjoy making them. Even if it's frustrating that I often don't have the kind of paper or embellishments I'd like to use.

[badly_knitted]

It's good that you're enjoying them, I hope your enthusiasm keeps up!

[celli]

Oh, that's good to hear!

[wiseheart]

It is definitely a nice feeling. :)

[celli]

I started a new project today - I'm still working on the guinea pigs, but needed something else to trade off with.

[badly_knitted]

That looks like it's going to be awesome!
