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!

On the knitting front, I finished the knitting portion of my poppy the chicken. I did the body and the two wings. I still need to get or make stuffing. We don't have good craft stores in town so I may end up ordering some online. If I make some, it will probably be fabric & yarn scraps.

So I want to start a new project or pick up an old one so I have something to knit.


I'm also having a big urge to do spring cleaning. I started a new job a few months ago and I have been slacking on cleaning in favor of cooking, cleaning immediate messes & sleep. I may try to take a day off work so I have the energy and time to do a proper deep clean.
