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!

In the morning I worked on the doughnut keyrings; one is finished, three others are decorated, all six are equipped with hangings and the actual metal rings for the keys, so I'm making progress.

In the afternoon I went with my goddaughter and her mum to the discount craft shop. I bought some narrow satin ribbons in various colours and three small packages of sequins. The other two were more... acquisitive. But again, this was their first time in that shop, while I go there semi-regularly, so I only buy what I really need in these days. ;))

Well done on the keyrings, and yay for craft shop purchases!

[wiseheart]

In fact, the best part was seeing their astonishment over all the things that are offered there. ;)

Were they rubbing their hands together with glee before filling their shopping baskets?

[wiseheart]

No, they were too busy picking up their jaws from the floor. *g*

Well done!

It sounds like you had fun on your shopping trip :)

Actually, I love shopping - except for clothes or shoes, which is a never-ending frustration for me. But craft stuff and groceries... I just love it to browse in those shops when I have the time. I wish that would be more often the case, but even so, I enjoy it greatly.
