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!

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They were originally made at the height of the pandemic and schools were closed before I could have give them away, but after a couple of years in Mum's cupboard they still look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

They're so cute! What a great use for old champagne corks =)

And they are hard to come by, too! Nowadays most champagne bottles have plastic "corks" (not that we'd drink them often, and even then only the alcohol-free version). I had all my acquaintances hunt for real champagne corks to make these.

That must have taken some time! I think I have one champagne cork from a party when I was in my early 20s

Those are sweet!

Thank you. They were happy to leave Mum's cupboard after two or three years and finally find their destiny. *g*
