Check-In Post - October 20th 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: Have you ever made something and then had no idea what to do with it?


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've been crafty today. Not overly so but still. Since next week promises to be rather... eventful, I decided that the needful thing to do was to make some creative progress.

So, after having written an acceptable little chunk I turned to crafting and made another pencil holder out of burlap and a vegetable tin. Like the previous one, it was a lot of work but turned out quite well. Once I've made the rest of them I'll take a group photo. I have to be careful with my scrapbook space since Pinterest had stabbed me in the back. *sigh*

I also gave these little darlings a try.

So far I've done the angel body with both the fluffy white and the tulle layer. Poor little angel looks like a sausage at the moment, but I'm determined to finish it and hope it will look good in the end.

Well done on the pen holder!

The angels look very cute =D

[wiseheart]

The ones in the video do. Whether mine will overcome its current sausage state is to be seen. *g*

[badly_knitted]

Sausages with wings could become a thing!

[wiseheart]

Well, I'm sure dogs would have fun with them!

[badly_knitted]

I'll bet!

If it still looks like a sausage later, you can make egg and biscuit angels to go along with it.

[wiseheart]

Egg and biscuit angels???

[sister_raphael]

Can't wait to see your results!

[wiseheart]

Me, too, although my anticipation is lightly coloured with dread. *g*

Well done on the pen holder!
