Check-In Post - February 16th 2025

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: What kind of crafting supplies can you never resist buying?


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 started a new Cross stitch pattern yesterday but haven’t got far with it yet. It was easier to fit in my luggage than the rug kit which is what I’d like to be working on but I can go back to that when I get home again. Unfortunately the lighting here isn’t great for cross stitching either. Still I’m about to try and do a bit more and this could well be the last time spent on it until I’m able to go home, depending on how I feel post-op.

I’m trying not to succumb to temptation now for any more crafting supplies until I’ve run down all I have stockpiled. It’s too easy to get side tracked. The current temptation is to buy tapestry wools for the second dolphin tapestry but I want to try and get through some of the paint kits, crochet projects and cross-stitch kits that I already have.

Yay for cross stitch! Much as I love knitti9ng, I want it to get light enough again for cross stitching.

Don't push yourself post-op, just take things easy. Hopefully you'll soon be back to crafting, and home to your rug so you can work on that.

Crafting supplies, kits, etc. are fiendishly tempting! Good luck resisting.

Wishing you well for your op!

Wishing you a speedy and complete post-op recovery!
