Check-In Post - Aug 21st 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: Share your favourite crafting tip, if you have one.


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!

We've survived the big, annual carpet cleaning. Some of the things still need to be put back in their places, and the carpets still need to dry out completely (of course, temperatures had to drop drastically today and it just had to rain), but we've got the worst behind us.

Little to no crafting was done in the last two days. I've actually sewn on the roof of house #2 in the short breaks of slave labour. What's left are the chimney tops and the bushes. Or so I hope.

That sounds like a brutal amount of work!

Well done with quiet book progress.

Thanks. We've survived, obviously, but it was brutal indeed.

Ugh carpet cleaning.

[wiseheart]

My feelings exactly! But it had to be done.
