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!

Probably not going to do any crafting today, I have to cast on for the next sleeve and my brain doesn't want to count.

Annoyed about the bird table because I put a suet log out on it and something stole the whole thing. Because the table at present is alongside an old hutch, I suspect the thief was a cat. It might have been my squirrel, which I wouldn't mind so much because wild critters need to feed themselves, but he doesn't come that close to the house, and when I went out there was a cat lurking. I've caught the local cats eating suet pellets before, and I resent that because they're well-fed pets, not strays. They don't need to steal food.

Can you move the table to a place cats can't reach? Although I seriously doubt that such places exist.

The place it's standing at present is only supposed to be temporary, until I can get out in the garden and clear the plants that are growing over the concrete where I hope to eventually put it, but it's a big job that will require time and dry weather, which is something we're just not getting. The lawn is flooded again as well. *sigh*

Pinterest woes

I wanted to upload new pictures of the baby books - yes, I've actually made some headway, little though it is - and it keeps telling me that my pics are the wrong format. They are not - they are JPGs, just like the rest of them. As a test, I tried to upload (again) a pic that's already there and that had been accepted without problems a couple of weeks ago. I got the same error message. So the fault is not by me, obviously. I'll post them to LJ, temporarily. Should Pinterest come to its senses I'll repost them from there.
