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!

You deserved a break... but getting up at 6.30 - is evil!
Monday, November 6th, 2023 08:17 pm (UTC)
Oh dear, I'm so sorry!
Monday, November 6th, 2023 11:38 pm (UTC)
Oh noooo. Sorry. So much extra work.

Hurray for the new fridge, but sorry about the early morning.

Hurray!

That is too early. *Hugs*

Enjoy your lie-in!

behold my little Christmas fairies that I've improvised to use up some ready-made felt flowers I couldn't use otherwise. I think they are pretty enough:



I also finished the lavender-infused pillows. I've got seven of them altogether, plus two mini ones that I've turned into keyrings. *g* And I've made pretty labels for the ginger syrup bottle and for the jar in which I've mixed my very own Spekulatius spice (found a simple enough recipe on the 'Net). Pics of those will come later; there simply wasn't enough light by the time I finished.

I was so glad when the idea with the fairies came to me spontaneously. Those large (about 5 cm in diameter) flowers had been lying around uselessly for at least half a year: too pretty to throw them out but too large for my usual projects. Now they've found their true purpose. *g*

Assuming that you remember where you put them - or that you have them in the first place. *g*

Those are cute! And you really flew on those pillows.

I really wanted to have the pillows out of my hair. I was supposed to go light on the crafting in November!

They are so cute!

Well done! You've been busy!
Tuesday, November 7th, 2023 07:15 pm (UTC)
That I was indeed. Thanks!

I'm about one round away from finishing the last hanging basket.
Tuesday, November 7th, 2023 10:08 am (UTC)
Woohoo!
Tuesday, November 7th, 2023 07:15 pm (UTC)
Go you!

I knitted for a bit today and wrapped more paintings for storage. All of the ones that had been taken out, but not taken to the show, have been lightly cleaned, cataloged (sans photos), wrapped, and labeled. I still need to do the ones that went to the show.

I was going to write, but I remembered I have book club Wednesday evening and haven't read the book yet, so I worked on that.

Thanks!

The book was not as good as I'd hoped, but still enjoyable.
Friday, November 10th, 2023 07:53 am (UTC)
Yes :)
Tuesday, November 7th, 2023 07:16 pm (UTC)
Holy cow, that was a lot of work!
Thursday, November 9th, 2023 09:52 am (UTC)
Indeed!
