Check-In Post November 17th 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!

Doctor's appointment this morning, got some meds that will hopefully help. Went shopping after since I was already out because there were a few things I needed. Didn't get much in charity shops this time, I didn't want to stay out too long, but I found two nice storage boxes I can keep craft stuff in, and a jar of beads. They're mostly black plastic, which will be fine for my pendants, but about a quarter of the beads are magnetic hematite, whooo! They were worth the price by themselves =D

[wiseheart]

One can never have enough storage boxes!

[badly_knitted]

I certainly can't. They're everywhere! These are cardboard, but strong and very prettily patterned with lift-off lids.

Hope the meds help. Excellent finds!

[badly_knitted]

I hope so too!

I was pleased =)

I baked two different sorts of Christmas cookies today and consider that successful crafting. *g*

[badly_knitted]

Excellent! Baking is definitely a craft in my opinion.

[spiralicious]

Successful and tasty crafting

I redid the banner and am happy with that. I made a desktop sign to go with (and use without) the banner, so I have options, and I updated some business cards for use at events which have all the social media links but no phone number.

[spiralicious]

Very productive! The cards look lovely.

[badly_knitted]

That looks wonderful! I saw your post too, with the other items.

Definitely don't want to go handing out a phone number to strangers. The social media sites exist for anything like that.

[wiseheart]

Oh, pretty!

[spiralicious]

I don't know how to talk about today so I'll skip the awful for now and:

Wrote around 1000 words

All my 2023 DW posts now have tags

I am less than 1 row away from finishing the body of the hat I'm knitting

Thanks!
