Check-In Post January 16th 2024

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: Looking back at last year, which of your completed projects (or WiPs) were you most pleased with?


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!

Today I went to choir practice on a roundaway route: via a small shop that sells sewing supplies. It's been on sale for at least half a year, so I was pleasantly surprised to find it still open. So pleased that I spent an unreasonable amount of money on flower-shaped buttons, in various sizes and colours. I used up part of my stock for the songbook, so I needed replacements, but not so many replacements. But I thought I should use the chance as long as the shop is still there, right?

I also bought two iron-on ornaments: two different snowmen, both extremely cute. Why is it that the best Christmas stuff always shows up when Christmas is long over?

Today we had guests, so the day was also full of chores. No actual crafting done. Tomorrow. There's always tomorrow.

Sash replenishment shopping rules are different when the shop you are at is closing/being sold/going out of business ;)

There is something about holidays that the good things hide from you until they are over.

That is certainly true.

Yay for new buttons and other supplies! Buying crafting supplies always brightens the day!

Maybe you'll find time for crafting tomorrow.

I intend to! I've told Mum that I refuse to do any slave labour tomorrow. I've cooked for two days in advance, and I'll finish the page if it kills me!

Good luck!
