Check-In Post February 28th 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!

Thanks! And yeah these monthly challenges are a lot of work, I've had to sacrifice weekly challenges and wips for it... But I decided to do it because it seems like all the challenges and events that I do are at the very beginning and ends of the year so I'll have lots of time for other stuff in the coming months xD

Kudos for tackling a month-long challenge! I tend to dip in and out of those (looking forward to Spring Renewal, which I had fun with last year), but I have to keep my fan_flashworks streak going. I haven't missed a challenge since I started writing for that one.

Its always a good feeling to have a streak going! I suck at streaks, I always end up playing catch-up after missing challenges...

I'm very stubborn and determined, which helps. Have written every day for over 10 years, and hoping to continue with that. Sometimes it's only been a few words, but getting into the habit makes it easier to stick to.

Wow I'm proud of myself for writing every day for a month! Ten years is a lot!

It's helped me through coping with caring for my mother after she had a stoke and then her death 18 months later. I needed an escape from the pressure and stress, and writing has been the best form of therapy I've found.
