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 is your most essential piece of crafting equipment?


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!

most essential piece of crafting equipment

[illariy]

Been weeks since I did any crafting and about 2 weeks since I was even on DW but wanted to pop in and say hello. I just handed in the stuff for my last uni deadline, now only 2 exams till uni free time! Hopefully, I can catch up on my penpal letters, finally make envelopes by hand like I have been dreaming and potentially finally select a first return-to-crochet project, get the stuff for it and start. Ambitious dreams, hehe!

About the question: My most essential piece of crafting equipment is scissors. I need them to even open my penpal letters and do lots of cutting in general. Scissors are closely followed by the second place, it was almost a tie. Second place is my trusty glue stick. My fave is Pritt, Uhu is also acceptable. These two are always on top of my desk so I can access them easily.

Congrats on handing in your last uni work, and good luck with your exams. Hope you can get back to crafting soon.

Oh yes, for all paper crafts, scissors and a good glue stick are essential! I like Pritt sticks.

I'm definitely with you re: scissors. They are essential to both sewing and paper craft - and needed by baking, too, to cut the baking paper to the right size. *g*
