Check-In Post - February 2nd 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: Have you ever made a Valentine gift or card?


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!

Got more studying done than I had hoped for and rewarded myself by writing another letter and working a little more on the envelope. It was fun! Hopefully, next week is going to be as productive.

Yay for good studying and letter writing! May next week be as good for you!

[illariy]

Thank you! It was better than I feared but not as good as I had hoped. Last week was the one with a 4 day all day work training. That left me knackered after work and not much energy left after studying. Oh well. I hope this week and next week are going to be better. To-reply pile sits at 3 and I did check my po box for the week, next check is on Tuesday. I hope to write like 1 or 2 more letters.

That sounds exhausting, especially since you still had studying to do. No wonder you didn't the energy for other things.

[wiseheart]

That does sound quite productive though!

[illariy]

It was indeed! The only downside is that it set my expectations for the next days too high, hehe. Still, it was fun while it lasted and at least I am still on lecture-free time till 6 April so hope to write lots more letters. :D

Excellent! Sounds very productive indeed.

Thanks, yes, it made me feel like a letter writing and studying super hero. Hehe.
