Check-In Post - May 23rd 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 actually started decorating the felt stripes that will go around the little sewing boxes. Three (more or less) done, nine more to go. The fact that I invested into a special felt glue (that wasn't exactly cheap) didn't help as much as I hoped it would. They make such weird flagons with even weirder caps for these wet glues, they are so frigging hard to use, and I often get more glue on my fingers than on the actual things I want to glue together. At least it is definitely a much faster process than sewing on every single piece - although I might make a few sewn ones as well. That's more fun.

That sounds like a very sticky, messy part of the project. Good luck, hope the glue at least works well.

[wiseheart]

Reasonably well. I hope the effect will be lasting.

I'm just imagining glue everywhere now.

[wiseheart]

That is the actual case, yes.

Sorry the glue isn't as helpful as hoped, but glad it's speeding up the process all the same. Way to go on the sewing boxes!

I still think everythind would look better if I had sewn on the pieces, but I will continue with the glue for better speed.
