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!

That is so pretty! If the thread came with the kit then it should be colourfast.

Yum, that sounds delicious! Hope they taste as good as they smell!

It was all one kit but it was a cheap import from China so I'll wash with caution. They were packaged as DMC skeins but you can never be sure.

I think the cinnamon rolls turned out okay for a first time effort. Much bigger than I thought they'd be and probably baked just a tad too long. Next time I'd take them out earlier and experiment with the filling, adding a bit of apple or apricot puree to the sugar mix and make them smaller.

Fingers crossed then. I think most halfway decent threads are colourfast, so with luck you'll be fine.

Yeast can surprise you, it's hard to gauge how big something will end up, but as long as they're tasty you can always just have half a bun if a whole one is too much.

Apricot puree sounds like a good idea. It works with just about everything in baking.
