Check-In Post - December 31st 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: If you're making any, what are your crafting resolutions for 2025?
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 did chores this afternoon instead of crafting, but I managed 30 arm warmer rows this evening watching my strongmen, so that will do.

As for today's question: I don't have any true resolutions, just an unfortunately quite long to-do list, so I assume I'll be busy with unpleasant tasks for a while. *sigh*

Excellent progress on the first two dolls!

Though I did do some graphical design, kinda. Last night, I did my first stream from my new gaming computer (it went well!) and my usual viewer suggested that since I'm changing my schedule, starting a new game, AND had a new person in chat last night, it might be a good idea to post a stream schedule on Ye Olde Social Medias. So I spent several hours browsing templates at places, and bought one for a few bucks off Etsy. It's a Canva template so pretty easy to edit, but to get it perfect I had to do some image editing in Gimp.
Now I am thinking nap. Nap is good.

Enjoy your nap.

I hope your nap was most excellent and that your hand feels better soon.

For 2025, my goal is to make more things (cat beds, hats, scarves, etc).

Today, my crafting related activities have been catching up reading here and dropping off the art book I did at those year long workshops this year at the library. It was requested to be part of a display of different kinds of art books at the library for the month of January.
All month, my Mondays with Lynne have been making Christmas cards, though this week's was more ambiguously winter. Card making is going well, but the 3 prior sessions had me concerned enough about the living situation with Lynne and her son I felt compelled to document what I've seen. To what end, I don't know. Lynne's daughter visited over Christmas though and that seems to have helped for now.
I'm taking a little knitting break. I finished the wingspan shawl. *Happy dance* I still need to weave in the ends. It's measurements: 22in/56cm from top to bottom, and approximately 55in/140cm across. After I finished the shawl, I concentrated on working on the eclectic cable scarf. I got very excited because I thought I had finished it, only to find it was 10 inches to go still. I was very upset and decided it was time for a break.
Happy New Year, everyone!

Hopefully Lynne's living situation will get sorted so you won't have to worry.
So cool that your art book is going to be part of a display!
Happy New Year!
