Check-In Post - May 8th 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!

I forgot to check in yesterday, but I've made good progress. I've sewn on all 36 remaining buttons, prepared the thread bundles that will go into the little sewing kits, hunted down the mini security pins and the press buttons. All I need to do is to decorate the plastic jars themselves, and then they're good to go.

No crafting today, but I made extremely yummy strawberry and vanilla custard slices that even look pretty. That counts, right?

Excellent, well done!

Culinary crafting definitely counts. Sounds delicious!

I would say making pretty (literally) yummy food definitely counts! Also yay on such excellent progress on sewing the buttons!

Well done on the progress and the custard slices sound lovely.
