Check-In Post October 30th 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!

Okay, here are the (hopefully) last ornaments of this year. In the upper row the little seraphs, in the lower row the Heineken Santas, and some small baubles and stars in-between:



As you can see I've changed the design of the seraphs: I added actual hair and some more stuffing, compared with the prototype on the far left. I like them better this way, although some might think them too chubby. But I'm chubby, too, so they are in good company. ;))

Addendum: If anyone wants ideas for cross-stitch Xmas motifs, look here.

They really look super! And yes, I think they look better with a bit of padding. Well done!

Thank you so much! :)

Looking great. The stuffing version is definitely better.

[wiseheart]

Isn't it now? :)
