Check-In Post - April 18th 2025

[badly_knitted]

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!

I've finished my keychain! ...Even if, since I ended up getting a different keychain in the meantime, it ended up serving as a giant zipper pull tab on my new backpack.

Put away the odds and bits of felt left over from this project into a scraps jar. Planning to eventually stuff some tiny plushies with them. I have no specific plans for a plushie now, but I'm 100% i will get to some eventually, given i adore plushies and making a tiny animal would probably make me explode with happiness.

Will probably put down the crafts for a few days at least and let my hands rest. The birds outside are chattering up a storm in this weather, so I might try to go birdwatching to get to know my neighbors just a little bit better, i think.

It's a good time to get to know birds, they have a lot to say right now.

It looks awesome and will make a good zipper pull, and be there if you need a backup keychain. Well done!

Good luck with your plushie-making aspirations! Tiny plushies are adorable.

I heartily approve of birdwatching! I've done it all my life =D

Nice keychain. Good luck with the plushies, they are always fun.

The keychain is lovely! Way to go! Definitely let your hands rest. And kudos to you for getting to know your neighbors! I don't know mine nearly as well as I should...

[yarnandglue]

That's so pretty! Making plushies is good for the soul :)

Oooh, love the keychain! And it immediately made me go to your profile to see if you had video games as an interest, which you do. :D I'm a gamer as well! Partial to the Final Fantasy franchise and RPGs in general. May your save files never get corrupted.

[viskozni_varhanik]

thank you!! :D may your saves be safe as well. I grew up on pokémon, but nowadays I'm more into shorter indie games. but RPGs still have my heart and the older FFs are definitely something I want to eventually get some time to play.
