Check-In Post - Oct 31st 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 (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!

Apologies for EXTREMELY late post. So many Trick or Treaters, and then taking everything down and bringing it back indoors.


At least it stayed dry this evening. All the rain was in the afternoon. I'm done in.

I take it your things were a hit, eh? 😆

Very much so. I had somewhere between 40 and 50 visitors. Everyone was very enthusiastic =D

Saw some great costumes too.

Congratulations! All your hard work paid off in the end! 👍

It did, I had so many compliments from parents, and some very enjoyable chats with some of the newer people in the area who I haven't really met before. But I was on my feet, and mostly outside, from about 4pm to 10.30. The last two hours was spent taking everything down and bringing things back inside. I'm leavi9ng putting everything away until tomorrow, or Sunday... It's gone midnight and I still have things to do before I can go to bed.
