Check-In Post - May 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 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!

Well ...

Today's plans of planting flowers have been rained out so far. :/

However! We managed to hang two pieces of art by local artists. One is "The Starry Night" diamond art that we just bought. The other is a spectacular round mandala done in shades of green, brown, and gold. We like supporting local artists.

We were going to hang a third one, a winter scene with a barn and cardinals, but that one needs hanging hardware. And we moved the week-clock from above my office door to above the stairs to make room for putting "The Starry Night" over my office door.

Sorry you were rained out. But yay for new artwork! It sounds lovely.

So nice to be able to get some art up by 'real people' so to speak - I love getting the opportunity to pick new art to display (it normally takes me an age to get it properly framed before I get it up on the wall).

Exactly. I love meeting artists and talking about their work. One of them works at a local metaphysical store, so there's always something new. Last time we were there, she was just starting to explore string art. I'm hoping she'll put up something for sale in our price range and my style.
