Check-In Post - January 4th 2025

[badly_knitted]

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!

My January planner spread isn't very busy but I like it.

Oooh, I love it. It looks serene and well-coordinated. Hope you enjoy your new planner this month! I am enjoying mine but I don't decorate it, hehe.

[stonepicnicking_okapi]

Thank you! Last year I would do a collage spread for the first page of the month (but not decorate the rest of it) but this year I have a fancy Hobonichi and I've watched too many Youtubers doing all these fancy things so I am adding more decoration than I have (and struggling with how much I really want to do). I have to tell myself that the first three months are going to be trial and error and I don't have to get it aesthetically perfect the first week.

As long as you enjoy doing the decorating and using your planner, I think there is no wrong way to do it. Some people who decorate their Cousins or A6 Techos a lot have found that it fluffs out the planner into a huge chunky size when they do decorations every day in the daily pages and I personally would not enjoy that look but to each their own. :D

[stonepicnicking_okapi]

Yeah, I have to watch out for that. I don't mind some chunk, but I still need to be able to use it.

[badly_knitted]

It's pretty! Calm and relaxed to ease yourself into the new year.

[stonepicnicking_okapi]

Yes, and we're going to get something between 5-10 inches of snow tomorrow night (which is crazy for us) so fitting...

[badly_knitted]

Ick! I only got 1cm and that's too much for me!

[peaceful_sands]

Love that! Very apt for January

[stonepicnicking_okapi]
