Check-In Post June 15th 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! Leaving this question open for a few more days so anyone who hasn't answered it yet still can.


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've worked on Songbook #2 all morning, cutting out the bases for 6 crows, 6 cats, 2 donkeys, 2 chickens and 2 foxes. These are now at a phase where I can start sewing them together whenever I find a bit of time. Waiting for the cutting out are the cow, the ants and the bears. But this is the easy part. Making the background and then the binding will be really hard. And one of the books is due by September, so it will be a lot of work to finish it. Fortunately, the other one can wait.

No work on the baby book today, even though that, too, is due by September. That means I've got the rest of June and August, because I'm determined to do some quality writing during picowrimo's July session. That is the plan anyway.

That's a huge amount done! Are you cutting out the animals for both books at the same time?

I'm sure you'll get everything done in time. You always succed!

Yes, when making felt items in great numbers I usually cut out the basic forms first. That makes things easier and the progress appears better than it actually is. *g*

I'm sure you'll get everything done in time. You always succed!
I hope so, although it would be more reasonable not to start so many things at the same time.

At least you're not trying to make 250 of the same thing.. I only have another 235 to go.

Sounds like a busy season ahead!
