Check-In Post February 11th 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: Who do you most enjoy making things for: family, friends, yourself, a special someone?


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!

I thought it was done, but my mother is very insistent that the eyes need to be changed, lol.

Yes, the dog has a bedtime. She must be invited to her bed and tucked in. You must wish her a good night and make everything very dark and quiet. It was an experience.

Sounds like the dog is their child... Never heard of a dog treated that way!

[spiralicious]

Yeah, most dogs I have petsat have been treated like the owner's child to an extent, especially ones owned by relatively well off retired people, especially if it was their first pet, but this was defiantly the most extreme example I have come across.

I get that people love their pets, I've loved all of mine, but there are limits. Although, not with the owners of that dog... Still, as long as the dog is well cared for, that's what matters.

It was a bit much, but the dog seemed happy, healthy, and well behaved, not to mention younger than her years, so it must be working for them :)

I'm just glad she was slightly less fussy about the chickens, slightly ;)

[badly_knitted]

Chickens are an adventure, lol! I had to catch one belonging to my neighbour and take it back, knocking on the door with a chicken under one arm...

[spiralicious]

They definitely are!

Lol, I can picture it.
