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: What's the most complicated project you've ever tackled?


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!

Congratulations! You don't do things by halves, do you?
Still nothing on my end of the connection... and the next three days don't look promising, either. *sigh*

Sounds like you've had a busy week :D


I'm doing a lot better now, thanks! Just kind of wiped out.

French knots were the thing I always had trouble with.

Working a bit on the mini Yip Yip basket right now.

Finished the back of the garage. The only remaining painting is the second coat on the front, but it's now mulberry season. I'm going to wait a few days until birds aren't pooping everywhere on that side. XD

Excellent work!

Lol, yes, that does seem like a good idea.

I lost a few days somewhere.

Monday was card making day with Lynne. I cannot remember if I checked in, if so, ignore this. Lynne was in a fairly decent mood, but even said herself that she feels like she's more with it in some ways and more lost in others. Card making itself went well, aside from Lynne repeatedly fighting with the glue, which boils down to she has a preferred type. They are out of the preferred type and she doesn't like what there is because it's not what she was expecting. She also had fun chatting with me and showing me things she's rediscovered around the house while I made up another card kit for a couple weeks from now. It was a good visit overall. I think that is how I will handle future kits. I'll design something ahead of time and when we are done, if there is time and everyone is in a good mood I'll build it then. As long as I'm only making one kit, it should go okay.

I haven't done anything since, mostly because of weather related headaches eating my days

Sounds like a good visit indeed. Sorry about the headaches, though. It's so annoying when our health refuse to take our to-do list under consideration. *hugs*
