Check-In Post September 22nd 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've finished the two birthday albums. They are nowhere near to what I would find appropriate; fortunately, the recipients are more forgiving. There are faults in one, and there are several empty pages in both - I'll suggest to glue in dried and pressed leaves, or birthday photos or whatever. The sad truth is, there were too many projects with too close deadlines lately, and I just didn't feel like working on those albums any more.

I also finished the two mini purses. Those turned out according to my expectation, so it's fine. Only had to undo one row of lace and to stitch it back: about 5 cm altogether. From now on, I'll be making small things for the Christmas fair and working on my Christmas quiet book that is more than half-finished. And on the other felt songbook, but that one isn't due before Christmas, either, so I can take my time and actually enjoy crafting again.

Yay for getting one project out of your hair, even if you're not completely satisfied with it. Relax now, make what you want to make, and hopefully crafting will become fun again.

[wiseheart]

That is my hope, yes.

People do love the "add your own thing" pages though, as it makes it more of a keepsake!

[wiseheart]

Let's hope they'll see it that way. *g*

Congrats on getting more off your plate, even if it's not as you'd hoped.

Hopefully, the crafting will be more fun from here.

[wiseheart]

I hope so. I shouldn't start so many things at once; the pressure gets to me after a while. OTOH, it's really hard to resist when inspiration hits. ;))

You are not alone in this XD
