Check-In Post - December 2nd 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's on your holiday wish list this year?


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 crafty day

[wiseheart]

I took a photo of the little gift box decorated for our chiropodist lady. The small wooden angel on the right wasn't made by me; the cookies on the left were.

While she was working on Mum, I finished the 5th (and now really last) little angel. I think she turned out well enough, even though I accidentally selected a too small wooden bead for her head; that's why I couldn't place her bun correctly:



I also started embroidered card #38; a seemingly simple pattern which I managed to mess up nonetheless and had to undo part of it. So I decided to continue tomorrow as I was too angry with myself. And I managed to make cat-in-the-sack box #41. I hope my fellow choir members will bring me some empty toilet rolls tomorrow because I've run off them and can't make more boxes at the moment.

The gift box looks great, and your little angel is sweet. You've done really well today! Hopefully you'll
have better luck with the card on the next attempt.

Better luck on your card tomorrow.
