Check-In Post June 20th 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 cut out some further background elements for the felt books. But that was about all. I had a somewhat demanding day in other areas.

[badly_knitted]

Demanding days are a drain.

At least you fitted in a bit of crafting though!

[verdande_mi]

Felt books! Interesting.

Hope tomorrow is a less demanding day for you.

I'm making two of this one for friends.

And Wednesday will be actually worse, as I have to attend a funeral in the midday heat. But I have high hopes for Thursday.

Thank you for sharing. Looks great! How long have you been making felt books?

I am sorry today was worse. I hope you got through the funeral okay. Here's for tomorrow :)

I've started on the books several years ago. I love working with felt. It began with small things: keyrings, small purses, needle books, Christmas ornaments and the likes. Then came felt plushies, like teddy bears. And then I landed at the so-called quiet books (destined to keep small children occupied and therefore quiet), and never came away from them.

The great majority of my felt work is documented on my Pinterest board, in case you'd like to see more. :)

Thank you for sharing! Very cool :)

I must admit that I like to show off my stuff. *ducks ashamed*
I'm glad you liked them.

:D :D I like sharing too, even if I haven't here I did a post where I shared hobby stuff in my own journal today. It's nice not to just be alone about it.
