Check-In Post October 3rd 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!

You have been on the roll lately, with both the card and the meeces. :)

I went to the sewing shop and bought some crafty stuff: narrow satin ribbons, metal beads and a few sheets of felt. Because I only have two shelves full of the things in my craft cupboard. [/sarcasm] But this little shop will be closing in the indeterminate future (it's already on sale, unfortunately), so I use every opportunity to buy things by them.

On the active crafting part, I've made four felt Christmas bauble ornaments and prepared six more for tomorrow. I feel very accomplished!

It is a real shame that the best little shops close, one after another. :(

That's so sad about the sewing shop.

Well done on the baubles

Sad indeed. Fortunately, it belonged to a chain, which has another, bigger shop in only twice the distance, but I really liked this one. Especially while it was still run by an elderly lady; we had great conversations, and they have the most surprising things one might need.

That is fortunate. Still a shame though.

Half-sewed a binding on. Other half to go!

Today and yesterday, my anxiety has been extra kicked up and I can't seem to calm it down or pinpoint a source. Yesterday, my internet also went down hard while I was trying to play catch up on DW. So much fun.

But both days I worked on the full sized baby blanket and there is only 3 rows and the bottom border left to knit.

Also, I have attempted some spook_me & otherwise Halloween related writing, but so far I haven't ended up with anything useable. At least not now.

I have rose quartz. I have tried a bazillion other things. I might have to try that.

Yes -_-

Thanks!
