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!

Holy cow, that's a lot of stickers! So, while it was a very busy day, it was worth the effort, wasn't it?

That's a very exciting amount of stickers! I'm glad you got more elastic, too.

So many stickers! O.O That is quite the deal. You really lucked out, even if you can't use a lot of them. Sorry about the craft store closing (and the hardware chain). :(

Potential future fuzzy spiders!

You have had quite the day.

... was being done today, and the birthday books for the two boys are getting shape. I wasn't able to correct all mistakes, and I still have a lot of cosmetic surgery to perform, but all in all, the covers look nice enough.

Here they are:



They are actually the exactly same size, I just couldn't place them so that they'd also look the same size. I don't know why; except that I'm hopeless as a photographer, apparently. Still, I'm relieved that they are at least acceptable; as a role I wouldn't give such failed products away, but I simply don't have the time (not to mention to energy) to restart everything from scratch. The boys would hardly mind, and I hope their mothers will be in a forgiving mode.

I'm also a hopeless photographer. Glad that you got the book mostly straightened out!

I may have just now finished using up scraps - will take another look through the project basket. There's some extra dishcloths in stripes, scrubbies, and the humidifier mineral catchers.

Thursday, September 7th, 2023 08:43 pm (UTC)
That's a great accomplishment!

It sounds like you are heading towards a well-stocked household. ;))

Wow! That's fantastic

For the last however many days, I've been cleaning more than anything else, but today I got a few rows done on the full sized baby blanket. It's almost halfway done.

Though I also dropped part of a lazyboy loveseat on my foot today. My foot seems to be fine now, but it was very satisfying throwing the loveseat over the porch railing into the yard and I will not be sad seeing it make it's way to the dump tomorrow. (It was in parts. The loveseat separated into two recliners and the back came off one half.)

Well done on the baby blanket progress!

I'm so sorry about your foot but glad you got the satisfying experience of revenge :D
