Check-In Post June 14th 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: At the request of new member cora... In light of new members, where are we all in the world? No need for exact locations, just general country is fine!


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!

Oh, goodness, I was so busy yesterday that I totally forgot to check in. Even though I did some quality crafting!

I worked on Songbook #2. I've borrowed the real thing from our vice-conductor for a few days and have been taking measures and shooting photos all afternoon. It promises to be a much more complicated piece than the first one was; not to mention that I've promised a friend to make one for her grandson as well, so I'll have to make everything twice.

To give you an impression, here are the photos. Unfortunately, I still haven't figured out how to upload the pics to Pinterest so that I'd get them in a reasonable size, but that can't be helped. I wish they wouldn't re-wamp the site every other week. *sigh*

My animals will be a bit different - I don't really like the ones here, mine will be a bit more playful. I hope the recipients will like them anyway.


Oh, and as for the question of the day: I'm in Hungary. Ever heard of it? You need a magnifying glass to find it in the middle of Europe.

I have days when I'm so busy I almost forget to even put the post up, so forgetting to check in is no problem *grins*

Sounds like a lot of planning and plotting before you can start actually making, but it's all important so you know what you're going to do.
