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 made another cherry pit pillow and a keyring that is basically a tiny pillow, filled with toy stuffing and a bit of lavender. The stuffing absorbs the smell of lavender, so the little pillow will keep the fragrance for quite some time. Or so I hope. I put it into a closed box, so that it would last till the Christmas fair. I've got another three larger (14cm by 16cm) pillow cases and one tiny pillow case cut out and pinned together. I think I've got just enough cherry pits for one more pillow; the rest will get toy stuffing and lavender. It's amazing how much you can do with just one small bushel of lavender. A choir mate gave us all a small bundle as a gift, and it had been drying on the windowsill all summer - now it can fulfil its purpose.
