Check-In Post March 22nd 2021

[badly_knitted]

Hello to all members, 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.


Today's Question: No question today.


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!

a chevron amethyst point and sphere, a pyrite sphere, a fluorite sphere, and a purple labradorite palm stone! I've collected rocks since I was tiny (my first school presentation I ever gave was on varieties of rocks) and I've been expanding my collection ever since :)

Apparently I'm not authorised to see your picure =( They sound wonderful. Amethyst is my birthstone. Bet the labradorite palmstone is gorgeous.

I've been collecting rocks and crystals since I was a kid too. My mum also collected them and I inherited her collection when she passed away, but I bought a lot of them for her anyway, including a carnelian pebble that looks like an owl's face. My favourites are the jasper family, especially orbicular jasper.

oh whoops, fixed the access on it!

that sounds like a lovely collection! and yesss I am such a fan of orbicular jasper! I have one little sphere of it that's got a figure eight in a circle exactly like on an eight-ball that looks practically fake and I love it so much.

Oh, that sounds adorable!

This is one of mine, in my icon.

I seriously have hundreds of crystals now, mostly tumblestones but some points, spheres, quite a few palmstones, smaller thumbstones, obelisks, and wands, and some raw pieces. I also have a turquoise nugget the size of a fist and a massive speckled jasper the same size. I love my crystals!

I'll see if I can look at your picture now...

[medievalrosalie]

Very nice! That sounds very cool!

They're fabulous! I especially love the labradorite. I have one with an orange flash that's pretty spectacular but they're so hard to photograph.
