Check-In Post - Dec 24th 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: What are your crafting goals for 2026?


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!

Today we finished clearing most of the brushpile in the parking lot, just a few big pieces left to break up.

I'm working my way through posting the mountain of stuff sponsored in the Holiday Poetry Sale.

>> What are your crafting goals for 2026? <<

I haven't made my goal list yet, that's a January 1 task. A few thoughts -- I'd like to do something with some of the art yarn I've collected, and I have some plain yarn and crochet hooks so I may give that a try. I still need to put the food-safe finish on the cabinet I got for storing bitters. Maybe put using the mini-glue-gun on the list.

However! I've finished most of the 2026 signup posts for goals_on_dw including the Arts and Crafts Challenges if anyone's looking for inspiration or moral support. So that's good progress.
