Check-In Post - February 9th 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!

Puzzle purse all done! https://www.instagram.com/p/DF2md8LxbRq/?img_index=4&igsh=MTlxOXAydWxndHlycg==

Making a template and pre-measuring all the folded sections was definitely a good idea, so when it came time to cut and glue fancy paper I didn’t have to try to figure out all the measurements, could just cut and go. It’s not nearly as pretty as all the fancy painted ones from YouTube tutorials but hoarding all those stickers from K-pop albums has finally paid off.

I think it is very pretty. You can never know when your hoarded goods come in handy. At least that's my excuse for keeping them. *g*

[nagi_schwarz]

Thank you!

With all the scraps I have accumulated, I now have silly ambitions of making a junk journal...

[wiseheart]

Munk journals are fun!

[peaceful_sands]

Well done - glad all your preparatory work was worth it to make your life easier when it came time.

[nagi_schwarz]

Thank you! Will definitely try and make some more for other themes...

[badly_knitted]

Intriguing! Well done!

[nagi_schwarz]

Thank you! It is a fun way to fold a letter, if nothing else.

[spiralicious]

This came out great. I've never seen a fandom themed one.

[nagi_schwarz]

Thank you! My brain always goes straight to fandom...or gifts. Both is better.

[spiralicious]

Both is awesome
