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!

More work on the cross stitch! There are four shades of green in the leaf I'm currently stitching, and I've done the first two. I think there are seven shades of green in the whole design, because there's another green leaf, just with different greens from the ones I'm working with at the moment.


Also put more charms onto split rings last night, and a few more this evening, giving me 124. It would have been 125, but the loop at the top of one charm broke off =(


And I desperately want more charms, because I've seen some jellyfish ones, and manta rays, and peacocks, and sloths!

The mere thought of seven shades of green makes my eyes bleed. *g*
124 charms! What are you doing with those?

[badly_knitted]

Green is a very varied colour indeed!

The charms will be the centrepieces of some pendants like these ones...

Don't know when I'll get around to making the pendants, the cross stitched birthday card is taking precedence, but when I have time I'm looking forward to playing with all the new beads from the old necklaces I dismantled recently.

Those are very pretty - and a lot of work, it seems. Good luck!

Thank you, it's fun making them, deciding which beads to use for each one.
