Check-In Post October 31st 2023

Early post is early...


It's a little after 2pm, but I have time now so I'm just gonna post, save worrying later.


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!

Today was a bit of a blur. I spent most of the morning making ghost goody bags for the trick or treaters. I carved one of my pumpkins, the other was too thick. I made a brain from sushi rice and lox to snack on. Somehow I managed to pull off make up that was ghastly.

It's possible there was more, but around 60 trick or treaters in 3 hours kind of muddles one's brain.

After everything calmed down and I washed my face 4 times, I settled in with a movie and my hat I'm knitting. Mom found a longer set of size 7 needles and I transfered it over to them. Things aren't nearly as cramped now.

Tomorrow is work and a new month. Nap time.

You were very busy!

Congrats on all the Trick or Treaters, wish I'd been so lucky. Numbers were well done here this year. Stupid half-term.

Hope you enjoyed your movie and knitting. Have a good work week!

[spiralicious]

Yes!

Thanks. We lucked out in that the newish neighbors across from us have been doing a mini haunted house each year since they've moved in and it's an established attraction now. Everyone outside our neighborhood I've talked to had very few people and one had none at all. I also saw at least 20 kids walk by our house and not stop.

Thanks. :)

That sounds cool! And it brings the kids, even if some weren't stopping at yours.

[spiralicious]

It definitely looks cool and sounds like they are having fun from over here :)

[badly_knitted]

Maybe you could sneak across next year and check it out ;)

[spiralicious]
