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!

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

[badly_knitted]

Wooo! That's a very important baking session!

[wiseheart]

I still have to make the butter cream filling. But I'm determined to finish it. She'll turn 92 tomorrow, after all!

[badly_knitted]

Which is something well worth celebrating! I hope the cake will be the best yet!

[wiseheart]

Well, it is a hummingbird cake with cream cheese and mango puree filling, so let's hope so. ;))

[darkcedars]

Oh wow, sounds great! I have never had mango with a hummingbird cake. Happy birthday to your mom!

[wiseheart]

Thank you!:)

[badly_knitted]

That sounds heavenly!

[wiseheart]

Well, I messed up the filling spectacularly, so that I had to improvise a new one in the middle of the night. *sigh* We ended up with another example of "ugly but yummy".

[badly_knitted]

The taste is always the important thing. As long as your mum enjoyed it. Wish her a very happy birthday from me please, I hope she had a lovely day!

[peaceful_sands]

That sounds amazing! Congratulations and best wishes to your mum for her birthday too!

[wiseheart]

Thank you. :) She finds it amusing how nice people are who never actually met her. I told her she'd become an internet celebrity. You should have seen her face at that. *g*

Very important culinary crafting!

[wiseheart]

And usually very satisfying, too. ;)

[spiralicious]

Indeed :D
