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!

Yes, I have made a ton of Valentine's day gifts over the years. My spouse is born on the day after, so I love to make knitted hearts and socks with lace interlocking hearts and so forth for the day itself.

I made paper valentine's day cards when I was younger, especially when I taught pre-school and elementary aged kids.

An excellent reason for heart socks.

The interlocking hearts sound so sweet!

And not very hard at all!

That is very sweet.

What lovely gifts! I hope your spouse appreciates them =)

I think handmade Valentine cards are always that little bit extra special, more so when made by kids.
