Check-In Post - April 18th 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!

That sounds like a really cute idea. You'd have to pick you pebbles carefully, but it could work.

Pea gravel is small, roundish stones of different sizes and colors, roughly pea to marble size. That makes a tricky building material but it does resemble round fieldstones or river cobbles.

There's a nursery that sells various rocks, where I've already bought several that are roughly bowling ball size. I also got one hand-sized chip. But there are shards all over the ground. I'm tempted to ask if they could quote me a price for a bucket or so of miscellaneous shards.

Sounds like a good idea, they might be intrigued by what you want to try to do.

The pea gravel would be good for cobblestone paths in terraria, or for a little cairn, that would be quite cool. Not really bridge building material, but there are plenty of other decorative uses for in. A miniature rockery perhaps...
