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: Do you remember the first thing you made in school?


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!

Card Making with Lynne day. Lynne was in a good mood and very chatty, which is also good. Card making went okay. I've noticed the simpler a card is, the more trouble Lynne has with it. This one had a red floral base with a bird sticker on a green patterned matt in the middle. Then we added squiggles in gold pen. (1 down each side, 1 across the top, and 1 across the bottom) Lynne did great with the sticker and the adhesive (our normal problem areas), but struggled with the distress ink on the edges (which she normally does well with) and drawing the squiggles with the pen. I'm still not sure what her issue with the pen was, but we got it done. I was also able to design the St. Patrick's Day cards for a couple weeks from now.

At home, I knitted a few more rows on the cable throw. I'm 4 from finishing the border.

Glad the cardmaking mostly went well, and you were able to prep another kit.

I'll be fascinated to see the cable blanket when it's finished!

Thanks. Making sure there are 2 prepped kits at all times makes everything go smoother, but making a new kit each week to keep up with that can be stressful.

I shall do my best!

I can only imagine. You always have to be thinking ahead.

I find impressive how you keep doing this card making, despite it often being a bit stressful. *hugs*
