Check-In Post June 20th 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!

The weather today has actually been good! 20C and sunshine off and on, so I spent most of the afternoon in the garden. My friend mowed the lawn for me, and I've been cutting stuff back and untangling bindweed from everything. That stuff is a menace.


It's meant I haven't had much time for crafting though. I have half a sheepdog puppy, and I'm hoping to finish him this evening while watching TV. I need him to help keep my sheeps in order.

Good luck with the puppy!
Me, I haven't done any crafting at all today. Grocery shopping in the morning heat took all strength out of me and reduced me to a vegetative state for the rest of the day. :(

[badly_knitted]

Sometimes the only thing to do when it's so hot is to veg.

The puppy is done. Not sure how much help she'll be with the sheep though.

[illariy]

Oooh, puppy is done, yay! :D *pompoms*

Hehe, your comment on her usefulness made me giggle. XD

[badly_knitted]

She is cute, but looks more playful than efficient, lol!

Thank you!

[illariy]

Yeah, the heat isn't easy for many of us. I hope you can take this day to relax and maybe more luck with crafting the rest of the weekend. Hope you can get a little crafting in as it is so good for the soul.

[illariy]

Wow, what a productive day!

Good luck with the puppy, he sounds adorable. XD

[badly_knitted]

Thanks!

He's cute, but even smaller than the sheep!

I sewed together portions of another block while at a trivia night with friends. They were most intrigued by my clips to hold the pieces together!

[badly_knitted]

Yay, progress! We all use what works best for us. Are clips commonly used for quilting?

[illariy]

Yay, progress while in good company, a double win!

What kind of clips are we talking about? I am curious now. :D

[illariy]

So far today, I have put off studying far too long and have purchased a ton of stationery and craft supplies which I definitely do not need but are going to make my future envelopes so pretty. Can't wait to use them! Lots of space themes, yay. :D

I am hoping to have a little time for writing or decorating envelopes later today, in which case I'll reply to this comment with the update.

[badly_knitted]

Hope you manage to fit in a bit of studying but still have enough time for letter writing and decorating. I'd love to see some of your decorated envelopes! n(without addresses, obviously).

Yay for more supplies! Space themed stuff is awesome!

Or reply on the new check-in post!
