Check-In Post February 21st 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: Which craft that you don't already do would you most like to try?


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!

That's so true, there are more fun crafts to try than there are hours in the day. It's sad.

Plus the cost of all the materials! I'd really love to try resin again as it didn't go great last time but it's not a cheap hobby.
I was discussing the other day how if you stick the word "craft" or "pet" on something the price goes up. My dad inherited a sewing machine and he brought a bag for it that's meant as carry on luggage but fits perfectly and was a fraction of the price of similar "sewing machine bags"!

True, and if you find the craft doesn't suit you, then you're out the cost of the materials and you're often stuck with a pile of stuff you can't use.

It really is ridiculous, but I'm glad your dad managed to get a suitable bag at a more reasonable price.
