Check-In Post June 16th 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: Do you like to finish one project at a time or do you prefer having several on the go?


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 haven’t posted in forever; life have been quite heavy with little energy for crafting.

I am still journaling, and the newest thing I made is a picture collage for my niece with pictures of us at a Taylor Swift concert.

I have some beautiful yarn laying around waiting for my summer break to start – to make a baby blanket for the little one my nephew and his wife is expecting.

Over the past months I have also tried my hand at visible mending, and I plan on doing more of that and trying embroidery over the summer.

Wow, you have a lot of interesting plans for the summer. Let's hope the season will be long enough! :)

[verdande_mi]

I'm a teacher so I should have time enough, and if not the baby won't be here until September.

Good luck! I was a teacher for 40 years, too, and I still remember how shockingly short the summer breaks always proved to be. :)

What a busy bee you've been! I'm sure your niece must be thrilled with the picture collage, a lovely reminder of a great experience.

Good luck with your summer crafting plans! Lota of fun things to make and to try.

She was really happy with it :D :D We made many new memories at the concert and trip in general.

Thank you! I look forward to decompressing with crafts.

[badly_knitted]

Crafting is a great way to decompress!
