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.


This Week's Question: Do you have any crafting resolutions for 2024?


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!

Now, this was unexpected

[wiseheart]

Today's progress, I mean. Not only have I managed to do all six "wheat sheaves", but I've also stitched on the cart, inclusive the buttons that serve as its wheels, and I've even cut out the seal of the windmill. Two of the four panels are sewn together, and I decided to make it mobile, so I added a push button to the design, instead of fixing the seal to the background as it was in the original. Now I only have to make the flea and a few flowers and the windmill page will be finished.

I'm thinking of adding some rubber band to the flea, so that it would be able to actually *jump*, as the song states. No clear idea how to do that, though. Some YouTube research is definitely required.

Excellent progress, and I like the idea that the windmill's sail will be able to turn. Also like the idea of bouncing fleas if you can figure out a way to do it *grins*

Well, you've managed it with your spiders, so perhaps I'll find a way, too.

The spiders were easy, they just bounce on their webs.

Sounds like you are doing well.

Excellent progress! You're really going to town on that book :)

TBH, I just want it out of my hair ASAP. Making exactly the same thing twice isn't something I enjoy, but sometimes people beg so prettily that I can't resist. *g*

Ah, that makes sense. I'm not a big fan of making the exact same thing more than once either.
