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!

Not much time was left for crafting today, as I was baking for tomorrow's small party, but I did some minor things: tiny little items made of the felt rests left after having cut out the doughnut keyring shapes. That gave me the chance to use up some sequins that were too large for my usual work, so it is a win-win situation.

With all the baking you had planned, I'm amazed you managed to squeeze in any crafting at all. Well done!

[wiseheart]

Needs must! Christmas if creeping closer and ideas are multiplying - I have no idea how to keep up with them!

[badly_knitted]

You'll just do the best you can. If you can't make all the things, there's always next year.

Getting a couple crafting things done and using stash is definitely a win. Hope all the baking went well.

Baking went very well indeed, thanks. The guests appreciated the results and even took some cookies home with them.

I'm so glad this idea how to use up the large sequins came! They've been sitting on a shelf for years, literally, but this sort (flower- or star-shaped ones) are only sold in big packages, in three different sizes, and the largest was simply too large for me... until now.

I'm trying to do more of that thinking - use up bits! I've used some flower buttons that have been in my sewing box for at least 20 years recently.

Well done! Impressive that you were able to work in some time to make some things.

[wiseheart]

I always craft on stolen time. :)
