Check-In Post - April 13th 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 change crafts with the season or stick to the same crafts year round?


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!

Have rounded corner four and am onto side four — on the home stretch of the hanky! Also started carving out the inside of my hollow book. It’s weirdly addictive? Watching the space grow bigger and bigger as I carve down. Think I’ll need to glue the outside one more time, then clean up the inside before I glue it. Gonna take a long while to hollow out the inside though. But I can just take it a bit at a time. Also I finished formatting another book for binding, so that’s two books in the print queue for binding. Unfortunately baby girl has caught her first cold, so I expect crafting over the next while will be limited, if not nonexistent, till she gets better.

Aw, poor baby girl! Colds are horrid for grownups, but babies have such tiny noses...

Well done with hankie progress and work on the hollow book that isn't hollow yet.

Sending healing vibes and a virtual teddy for baby girl.
