Check-In Post August 31st 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!

Not terribly surprising with the elastic! Poor fingers though.

Woot! Great job!

Though not on the finger stick, your fingers okay?

I've posted some pictures of the recently finished projects over on my LJ, in case anyone is interested.

Meanwhile, I've started on the second, mainly identical songbook that goes to a different recipient, of course. All 7 sets of cloud-and-sun combo are now firmly stitched on. I can attack the trees tomorrow.

They all look good! I will always like unicorn fabric.

Not exactly my thing, TBH, but the recipients seem to like it, so I'm trying to use up all the rests as soon as possible.

And I still get nightmares from it. Fortunately, I'm not the recipient. *g*

I've been working on laundry backlog and doing weeding off and on today. Also tried picking some flower seeds to plant next year.

Now I've had a shower and will settle down with a book. I was going to crochet but my hands are tired from weeding.

Rest well!

Your poor hands have deserved a rest. The craft project won't go anywhere.

I did 2 rows on the drop stitch shawl and suddenly remembered I had a fic due that I hadn't started yet. I am very happy to say that I wrote the fic and got it posted to AO3 and the story_works comm with 2 hours to spare on the deadline. Go me.

Thanks. I always forget about story_works and they're one of the few places I play that don't do amnesty (or very rarely anyway) so it's extra satisfying I got something done.

Hope you were able to finish something for BBTP!

Thanks!

Yay! You got it done!

Their generally long deadlines are a blessing and a curse that way. I wish they would do a regular annual amnesty, like they did a few years back.

Awesome!

Very true
