Check-In Post - Oct 19th 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 (courtesy of cora): What was your last project that got put into "time out" and why?


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 have sewn up and stuffed 6 bee bodies, although they fought me every step of the way. I've never had a harder time stuffing bees =/ Part of the problem was that it was so overcast and rainy today, and I didn't want to turn the light on, so I couldn't see what I was doing all that well.


Also crocheted 3 more pairs of bee wings.

ooo I did bees and a hive a long while ago. Good luck, sorry about the gloom and rain but what can you do about the weather 😔

[badly_knitted]

Yes, I remember!

These are in case the shop that's selling my bee brooches need some more. They've had 24 so far and sold 16 as of last Wednesday, when I dropped off the last 6 I had.

It's that time of year. Yesterday was lovely and sunny, today has been grey and wet practically since I got up, but it got a lot darker this afternoon.

Bees! Contrary lttle things aren't they?

[badly_knitted]

This batch are! I've made two dozen before this, and they didn't give me the trouble this batch is. Bad bees!

Let's hope this batch's spiritedness isn't a sign of oncoming sentience ;)

[badly_knitted]

Yikes! That's the last thing I need!

[spiralicious]

LOL. Yeah, that would have been bad.
