Check-In Post - June 17th 2025

[badly_knitted]

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've made the rest of the cellophane bags today. Well, the rest of the first batch, it is. I have now sixteen done, 48 more to go. I also decorated the finished ones with decades-old Washi tape that had been collecting dust in a box for a really long time. I've bought those tapes spontaneously, a couple a year or so, and never really used them. Now they'll have a purpose.

I also wrote some more labels (for the little spicy oil bottles I also intend to make for the fair). These little preparation tasks have no end and are quite time-consuming; I'm glad I've started them early on.

Excellent progress. I'm sure you'll get them done in time.

You are doing well with all your preparations - it will be worth it.

Little prep things take more time than people realise.
