Check-In Post February 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: 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!

I think quite a few of us feel the same way. There are so many cool crafts, but we don't have enough time/space/money to indulge our curiosity!

Yeah, like I have picked up so many crafts semi by accident - I like to joke that I do all the crafts that anyone in my family has ever done because I tend to inherit or be gifted their craft stuff, which isn't quite true, but it's very close - and I'm a pro at getting starter stuff on the cheap,* but time? That I can't get cheap.

*the funniest was how I got my crochet hooks. I bought an ebay listing for a job lot of sewing and knitting supplies and it turned out to be someone ELSE's probably-deceased relative's craft stuff. Now I have the supplies to do crochet (or, for that matter, latch rug making). Thanks, Mrs B.!

Maybe Mrs B is looking down on you wondering why you haven't started crocheting yet, lol!

I have so much craft stuff myself, and more Aida for cross stitch than I will ever have the chance to use. More kits too... I keep telling myself one of these days I'll use all the stuff I've got, there's probably enough to stock a shop, but I'm getting older and a lot of it will probably never get used. Still, who knows? Maybe if I could get myself organised.

I wish you time to try some of the things you already have tools and materials for!
