Check-In Post February 16th 2021

Hello to all members, 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!

Knitted 10 rows on the new pink arm warmers! Woo!

I added some stitches to the current cross stitch last night before bed and this afternoon to keep my mind busy I added some rows to both the scarves

I managed about another 6 rows on the baby blanket during D&D on Sunday :)

I was meant to be writing tonight but I ended up at the crafting table again. *headdesk*
A million years ago I bought a paper stack that was all punched flowers that you just press out of the stack (kind of like those kids books where you used to punch out the paper clothes to put on the cardboard dolly - God, showing my age now! Kids these days wouldn't have a clue what I'm talking about!).
Anyway, I had about a half dozen I'd made in a box with no idea what to do with them, but I mounted one on a card last night and it turned out pretty good, so I pressed out another six tonight and spent the night carefully clipping all the edges where they get punched out of the paper so they didn't have the ratty looking edges when I put them on cards.
Here's how they look once they're layered up with mounting foam:



I'll wait until I've got a few cards done to show you how they turn out. I'm going to need another box to store all these cards, especially these ones that are super thick because of the flowers.
