Check-In Post April 24th 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: We all make mistakes - what's your most memorable crafting disaster?


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!

Uh-oh! What are your potholders made of? Are they easy to extinguish? :O

Of an old gown of my mother. Fortunately, the kitchen sink is right next to the oven. *g*

Ah, so likely cotton or linen and certainly not polyester. What a great setup though for the purpose of extinguishing potholders. ;-)

It stated "cotton" on the original label, but I strongly suspect that there are some synthetic fibers in the mix as well. It does not feel like pure cotton; and the lining is synthetic anyway.

Oh, that surprises me. But even better than that you were able to get it extinguished quickly.

By the way, I adore your sewing machine icon. So good. :D

It was made by one of my online friends who generously allowed me to use it.
