Hello to all members, 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.


Today's Question: No question today.


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!

From personal experience, quail aren't the easiest of birds to keep. My sister tried a few times but they kept dying. We did have a couple of ducks for a while, or at least mum did, but dad disliked the mess they made and his word was law, so Topsy and Turvy had to go. I can vouch for having ducks though, they're wonderful, although ours were escape artists.

Brambles are a large part of my problem, they're everywhere are the roots are really hard to get out, especially if they're close to something you want to keep. They go down really deep. I took to twisting those lumpy knuckles that the shoots grow out of until the roots finally snapped. Dug down a foot or so, then just kept twisting until I could pull a good chunk of root out, but I've only done two small areas, there's a lot still to do, and it's hard work. I'm not as young as I used to be.
