Check-In Post January 29th 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!

No knitting today yet, but I'm hoping to get another 20 rows done later.

Culinary crafting today again: I've baked Mum's birthday cake.

I sewed a quilt backing, then decided to switch it out for something else. So I have an extra backing. Luckily I have plenty of quilt tops for it to go with...

Mostly house project day here. But over the last couple days we've tried to do mending on a pair of shoes. I tried sewing it and couldn't, husband tried and broke the needle. So we decided to glue it and call it good.

A bit of work on the tapestry - beginning to think I may have underestimated how long I need to finish it as I was hoping to get it done by the end of next month. Still progress is progress even if it seems smaller than hoped!

I've had a string of bad days and spotty internet access, but I did get myself to add a couple rows to the hat today.

Since I last checked in, I also finished decorating the current 2024 bullet journal layouts.

With that project out of the way, I have a book of color it yourself postcards I started working on. I'd meant to be actually sending the postcards awhile ago, so it's kind of overdue. This book of them is cats (and I may have more than one copy of it). There are 10 different images and I've done 8 so far. Most of them have been simple 10 - 30 minute coloring jobs, but one had so much tiny detail, it took me close to 4 hours and my shoulder hurts afterwards. And technically, I didn't finish the eyes.
