Check-In Post - May 18th 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: We all probably have multiple WiPs, but which of yours has been hanging around longest, waiting to be finished?


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 did a few of the togekiss pieces and sewed most of what I had onto the body, which is 3 head spikes 2 feet and 3 tail feathers. Only thing made and not sewn on is a piece of wing that needs a second part, and to make in general is another of the same wing part and the second piece(s) to both.

It probably wasn't a fantastic thought to do sewing in the session (I am not great at it) but then the project would've just stalled; Doing the different tasks in phases and keeping the phases roughly equal (like 50% done with piece making and 30% done on sewing etc) makes it way less overwhelming and keeps the bits and bobs I need to track the locations of to a minimum, because now they're just On The Project :)

Well done with all that sewing! I'm sure your togekiss will be cute!

Good for you on keeping going (and keeping it organized).

So much sewing. Your pokemon will be super cute when it's done though!
