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 got a lot done, but not all of it was the stuff I intended to do.

Frex, we drilled out the drain holes in the 2 giant pots bought yesterday. But then I realized that I didn't have much composted manure left. So I set that aside.

I did get the tall planter with the shelves set up. I trimmed grass at the west end of the new picnic table, set out the concrete pavers, fussed around trying to get them level-ish by shoving sticks underneath, then tied the planter to the picnic table so it'll stay put. I haven't put any pots on it yet, but I plan to use a lightweight potting soil for those.

Eh, it's progress.

That sounds like a lot of progress in the garden!
