Check-In Post - May 10th 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'm back! After a few craft-less days I finally decided not to wait for inspiration to hit as it didn't seem likely in the foreseeable future. So I took out my felts and cut out the basic decoration items for all 12 sewing kits. Oh, there will be additional appliqués, I'm sure about that, but the basics are now done. And I even know which part I'll start the work with. I consider that a victory.

[badly_knitted]

Well done! At least you know where you're going with it now.

[wiseheart]

With the lids, yes. The side parts... well, that's another question.

[badly_knitted]

You'll figure it out!

[darkcedars]

Doing prep like cutting is a good way to get back in the groove.

[wiseheart]

That was my hope, yes.

[nagi_schwarz]

Glad you were able to get back to crafting! The sewing kits sound like they’ll be super cute.

[wiseheart]

We'll see when they are done. I always have such grandiose ideas, but the end results are usually a great deal more... modest.

[peaceful_sands]

Well done on all that preparatory work.

[wiseheart]

Thanks. It was one more thing out of my hair, which is always a relief.
