Check-In Post - March 3rd 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: 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!

Heee, gnomes and leprechauns, this is the year of the fairy folk!

It sucks that so many crafting stores have gone out of business. I used to have three near me, now there are none, although there are a few shops that have some crafting supplies. Glad you managed to get what you needed, even if the sale wasn't much of one.

The chalice sounds pretty.

We made stuff in infant's school (ages 4-7) to improve fine motor skills. Also made things in art in grammar school (11-16), but junior school in between was mostly painting and drawing.

I was in the Brownies, and we did crafty stuff too, but I can't remember anything I made. Sounds like you had fun with the activities!
