Check-In Post - September 25th 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: 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!

Well, the day was busy. I did another half hour of crocheting. It was fun but it's true that just with those 2 yarns I bought, I am going to be busy with my 2 planned cardigans for years at this pace. Ooops.

I spent a good portion of the day doing more decluttering and then bringing the decluttered stuff to the local givebox. I wanted to repeat the process later today (it is Thursday here) but now I think I am going to be too busy for that. I want to tackle the craft supplies area, which is one of the most difficult areas for me. I am sure most of you understand. Tips for decluttering craft supplies very welcome!

I also wrote 3 penpal letters, leaving only one letter in my reply pile. Now my stash of prepared envelopes is small enough I could craft new ones. Hopefully next week!

Well done for fitting in more crochet AND letter writing around your de-cluttering!

I'm sure you'll enjoy creating more envelopes =)

Ah, de-cluttering craft supplies. I'm definitely the wrong person to ask. Probably the best thing to do is just see what you've got that you'll never use, but then if you get rid of something, you might realise a week later that it would have been ideal for a new project. =/
