Check-In Post - October 12th 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!

I worked a bit on Christmas card #33. It has 3 identical Christmas ornaments hanging from a green branch... sort of. It is a very abstract branch, but I managed not to mess up the end swirl too much. One ornament is finished, two more to go. That will be the last piece of the horrid orange cards I had in my stock. I'm glad to have them out of my hair, they're so hard to combine with any sensible colour thread I have.

Well done! Bet you'll avoid buying anything with orange card in now.

I will try, but it’s not always possible.

Card no. 33 sounds beautiful. I can see why Orange cards are difficult to work with!

I have had similar issues before: a glue stick that could only used on the insides of letters because it was not strong enough for envelopes, design paper that was pretty but too thick and hard to adhere to envelopes safely and also made any letters much heavier and thus more expensive to mail. Ugh. I guess we learn through these experiences,haha.

Learning through pain…

Hooray for being done with orange!
