Check-In Post December 28th 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!

One thing I've been really determined to do is actually finish the 2023 Snowflake Challenges before the 2024 Snowflake starts. I've been doing the Snowflake since 2017 and I've never even come close to finishing. Right now, I am one away.
I've been practicing drawing with my fountain pens. It's been going pretty well.
I wrote a rough draft of a fic I already kinda regret, lol.
While at the discount grocery today, I got a new craft kit to try. It's called a Fluffables Plush Craft. As far as I can tell, its a little felt animal making kit, but its also a mystery box, so you don't know what you get. The possibilities seem to all be dogs, though the illustration showing he possible mystery accessory are clearly cats. There are three possible color combinations and at least 4 different possible accessories to attach to the face. I did open it. The color combo I got is called Sprinkles, which is neon green, purple, pink, and white for the body and yellow-orange ears and tail. My mystery accessory was one of the pairs of glasses. I had kinda been hoping for the mustache, but the accessories are thin felt fabric, I could make one. The glasses are also cute. I haven't started working on it yet, because of other things today, but the box predicts it should take an hour to do and is for ages 6+. So we'll see.
The cats have also decided that their new thing is attacking my knitting bag and chewing on the handles.

Good luck with the Snowflake Challenge, and well done with your pen drawing.
LOL!
That kit sounds fun and fairly simple, hope you enjoy making your dog/cat whatever it is.
Hope the handles can stand up to the cats!

Thanks!
:)
Thanks. I sent it home as I already have way more than enough to work on while I'm house-sitting, but I am looking forward to working on it. I'm leaning towards it's a dog. The ears are long and floppy, but it's clearly not a bunny. I have no idea why they drew cats to illustrate the mystery accessories. The completed samples look like neon shitzus.
So far, so good!
