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!

Another day of rain all morning and sunshine all afternoon. I got another half dozen big docks from the edge of the lawn, the bit beside the path I dug the honeysuckle roots out of. Then I tried to get one out of the other side of the lawn, which was a lot more difficult and I didn't get the whole root. There are still a lot so I have to keep trying.


This evening I've finished knitting the first of the pair of arm warmers for my neighbour, I just haven't cast off yet.

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.

Just still working on dishcloths when I have the time to craft.


We are continuing with the idea that I'm the general contractor and husband does work after things are all decided. This morning I went in the crawlspace under the laundry room, measured, took photos, and made an order of work. Adding insulation to the bottom of the floor and sealing any gaps.

having a) got the habit of going into the library when I want a break (I've been doing jigsaws) and b) got the library table clear for doing crafts (run out of new jigsaws) I moved a hand crafting project on to the table, and made significant progress with it while listening to a podcast. With the amount of progress today, if I can repeat that the next three days, I'll have it ready for the next step.
