Check-In Post September 1st 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!

Originally, I wanted to do as many of the identical trees in the songbook as possible. But my fingers rebelled. They didn't want to stitch through multiple layers of hard felt and double-sided tape - or Velcro, for that matter - two days in a row. So I made the front cover of the songbook instead, and I must say I'm very content with the results. Pic coming up as soon as I have the right illumination for the iPad mini.

I also selected materials for the next batch of little purses, in case I'll need some distraction from the 'heavy' stitching in the next couple of weeks. ;))

Owie! Yes, sometimes you just have to take a break from the more painful work. Glad you're pleased with the front cover at least.

Good idea, then you can take breaks whenever you need to and do something a bit easier.

[wiseheart]

That is my dastardly plan, yes. ;)

[badly_knitted]

A wise plan *nods*

Taking a break to do something else in between those sessions is best. I have stopped trying to do sanding 2 days in a row mostly. Ugh.

Good work and good planning!
