Check-In Post July 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: 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!

I did it! I finished the woven blanket I've been working on and I gave it to its intended recipient, my friend at my grad school program who is graduating this semester!

Excellent work! *High five*

Wow! Congratulations, it looks gorgeous! I hope the recipient appreciates all the effort you put into it!

*pours bubbly for you to celebrate*

I'm always worried that the recipient of a gift is going to wish I'd just spent the money on a gift card (even though that's never happened - at least, they've never told me so!) but she was so surprised and happy. She saw me finishing it up and said, "That's cute!" and it was so fun to get to tell her, "I'm glad you like it! It's for you!"

Yay! It's always so wonderful when people like what you've made for them =)
