Check-In Post October 15th 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!

I attacked the mini sewing kits again - and finished five more! The current count is: eight down, four more to go. And the thread samples, twelve times three or four of them, plus the little cardboard... things around which to wrap them. I'm thinking white, black and blue thread, as those are the most commonly needed colours, adding one to each that would match the colour scheme of each individual kit, since they have slight colour differences.

Also, tomorrow will be cleaning day, and that means moving my storage boxes. That gives me the chance to re-find the colourfully painted apricot pits in order to fill (and close) the already finished little surprise boxes. I think I know where they are, but one can never be sure. Wish me luck! *g*

Woohoo! The sewing kits will soon be finished, and the surprise boxes shouldn't be too far behind at the rate you're going!

[wiseheart]

I have to, if I don't want to run out of time!

[badly_knitted]

Hopefully you're enjoying this crafting more than some of the other things with deadlines.

[wiseheart]

Oh, I am! The fact that these are small things that don't take long to make, plus that I can switch from one small project to another before I'd get frustrated, helps, of course.

[badly_knitted]

That's one of the reasons making small things is so much fun.

So close on the sewing kits! You are making great progress :D

Good luck!

[wiseheart]

I must admit, it went better than expected, which is a huge relief.

[spiralicious]

Oh good :)
