Check-In Post March 27th 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: If you were only allowed one craft, which would you pick?


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 went through all the designs I kept out that I want to stitch, and at least half are designed for Anchor threads. So I've made a list of all the threads I need to stitch those designs, and now I'm going through my threads to see which ones I've got, and which I need to order. Eeep!


I also did more stitching for my sister's card. There are three shades of green for the stems and leaves, I've stitched all of the darkest shade, and most of the second one, but I ran out of thread in my needle so I decided that was a good time to stop for the day. Hoping I can finish the stems/leaves tomorrow.

No actual crafting got done today (save for the Easter ham that I've successfully cooked), but I did find the photo of the champagne cork bunnies that went to my colleagues yesterday, so I thought I'd share it:



They were originally made at the height of the pandemic and schools were closed before I could have give them away, but after a couple of years in Mum's cupboard they still look handsome enough if I say so myself. *g*

I've finished the dishes so I'm done with the regular chores for the day. Settling down with the mending basket, I have neglected that recently.

Tomorrow it warms up again (below freezing for a few nights) and I'm looking forward to yard tasks.

I spent more hours than I care to total up making a little dolphin for my niece, and it turned out so so badly. I didn't even try to frog it, I just chucked the whole thing in the garbage.

SIGH.

No crafting today. I feel like I lost 2 days somewhere. I sort of attempted to write, but I fear I will not get a fic done in time for the dragon prompt at story works.
