Check-In Post - September 16th 2024

[badly_knitted]

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 piece of advice would you give someone interested in trying your favourite craft?


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 Gnome Squad

... is now finished. Here are all eight of them:



Admittedly, they are a bit lopsided, some of them cross-eyed, others have a saggy hat or crooked limbs, but I love them nonetheless. *g*

In other crafty news, I've cut out the bases for 6 more lavender sacks, since I still have the textile parts and the dried lavender flowers, so I can make one or two in-between. I'm trying to use up my craft supplies faster than I'm buying new ones, but it's a hopeless, uphill struggle. *g*

They're adorable!

Good luck with the lavender sachets!

Thanks. Making lavender sachets is a bit boring, but as I said, I need these supplies out of my hair, and besides, I'm not up to struggling with the embroidered card at the moment.

Sometimes it's good to have something simple and boring you can do in the middle of a more stressful project.

They're so cute!

Though, on a mischievous note, I have a friend who is scared of gnomes and this gives me ideas.
