Check-In Post January 20th 2024

[badly_knitted]

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!

... is the other baby book I'm currently working on. The boy version of it - obviously, as everyone's favourite consulting detective would say. In any case, I've finished the front cover today. It's quite different from the girl version, but I like it a lot. Take a look:



I apologize for the quality of the photo. The iPad mini has its issues with the colour blue. Or rather, it turns everything white into blue and pale blue into a much darker blue. I used the corresponding sheet as in the girl version, and in reality, it's the same light, decent hue. I've edited the photo within an inch of its life, until the pattern became almost invisible, but it's still several magnitudes too dark. Grrrr!

And speaking of Grrr!, is there anyone else who didn't get notifications in the last 24 hours? I didn't get either emails, or notifications to my Inbox for the last day.

With my camera, it's red that's the problem, although I think it makes blue lighter. Cameras are weird. That still looks very pretty though, even if the colour isn't accurate.

I'm getting some notifications, but not all. Several comments here yesterday never came through to my email or inbox. I need to check this post and make sure I haven't missed replying to anyone.

[wiseheart]

Yeah, same here. It's especially annoying, as I can no longer access DW via the iPad mini. Browser is too old or whatnot.

Everything keeps getting updated and they expect people to buy new tech every time. I hate a lot of the changes because they make things that were simple so much more complicated than they were before.

[wiseheart]

Clearly, "user-friendly" is no longer a consideration.

[badly_knitted]

They just expected people to understand the changes immediately, but us older folks didn't grow up with computers, it's not instinctive with us, and every change leaves us struggling.

[wiseheart]

And never a teenager around when you need help...

[badly_knitted]

Never anyone computer literate around, so we just have to try to muddle through.

I had some notifications and now wonder how many I missed.

[wiseheart]

It must have been a temporary glitch. Things seem to be back to normal at the moment. Let's hope it lasts.

[spiralicious]

It's adorable, even with the color issues.

I got some notifications, but I had wondered if I was missing some.

[wiseheart]

Thanks. :)

As far as I can tell, the glitch only happened yesterday. But one never knows.
