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!

Everything seems to be against me today. Slept badly last night, I've been feeling tired and crappy all day, internet went down briefly, and while I was writing I suddenly started getting a wider gap between lines of text than I have it set for. No idea why, and I couldn't fix it, although I did find a way around it.


Then, making todays spiders, I dropped a couple of the eyes and had to search for them, had to cut a new pair for one spider because I found the colour I'd chosen didn't show up against the fabric, my needle came unthreaded so many times I seemed to be re-threading it every five minutes, and just as I was stuffing one body and pulling the thread tight, it snapped and I had to start from the beginning again.


The old method of sewing the bases on is much neater but seems to take longer. I'm still going to continue with it though; maybe I'll get quicker with practice.

Oh no, what a frustrating day! I hope it gets better, and if not, that tomorrow plays nicely.

Thanks. Right now I'm hoping for a better night. That might make for a better tomorrow.

Poor you, it really wasn't your day, was it? *hugs*
Here is to hope that tomorrow will treat you better!

[badly_knitted]

It really wasn't. Fingers crossed for tomorrow.
