Hello, lovely crafters! Welcome to our daily check-in post, where you can tell everybody all about your most recent progress (or lack thereof). Feel free to also chat with other members and generally enjoy yourself!

Check-in is not mandatory, you decide if and when to take part in these posts.


Today's optional question:
Do you tend to put deadlines on your crafty projects? Or do you enjoy starting and stopping and finishing whenever?
If you have questions or suggestions about the community, requests for tags, or want to host the daily check-in posts, head over to the Questions & Suggestions post and leave a comment there.

I work a lot with deadlines, because a lot of what I make is for Nerdopolis (a crafting competition with rounds a month long) and I'm trying to finish in enough time to submit the items. I have so-so luck with this! Earlier this year I made a list of my WIPs and a good many of those were failed Nerdopolis projects, lol. I always start with good intentions, but then Things Happen and the month gets away from me.

I am still crocheting with laser focus on the poinsettia. The petals are DONE as of last night! The pattern designer made 7 leaves, but I'm aiming for 5, partially because my hands can't handle any more and partially because I want to put it all together at Stitch Club tomorrow and there's not enough time to make more leaves.

I already had 1 leaf done. Today I've made 2 more. I have scheduled myself for one more today, and one tomorrow morning before Stitch Club which will get me to 5. It's only 3:30ish pm here so plenty of time to crank out one more today!

Sounds like a lot has been done. Go you! And good luck with one more leaf.
