Check-In Post October 5th 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!

As promised, a group photo of the felt Christmas baubles I've made in the last few days. I think they are quite pretty, but I'm biased, of course. ;))



In the meantime I've gone on to the mini sewing kits. Those include a great many different phases; right now, I've brought all 12 of them (yes, they've spawned 3 more while I wasn't looking!) to Phase 1: all parts cut out and the inner pockets are stitched on. I've even sewn on the needle-holder stripes and made the lashes they'll close with for 3 of them, which would be Phase 2; I'll continue with that on the other 9.

What a colourful collection!

Sounds like you're making great progress with the sewing kits too!

I'm trying my best to cram as much crafting into October as I can. I'm planning to try doing some writing in picowrimo month, and the short morning hours aren't enough for both activities.

Good luck with your endeavours!

They are adorable!

You are making great progress with sewing kits.

Actually, that with the sewing kits sounds better than it is; I still have a godawful lot of steps to perform before they are done. But I'm trying...

[spiralicious]
