Check-In Post - Feb 2nd 2026

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 is your favourite thing to make?


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's creative activity is trying to finish posting the Holiday Poetry Sale items before the fishbowl.

Tuesday's Poetry Fishbowl will be on "Books and Literacy" if anyone wants to come prompt me for that.

I make so many things! I do a lot of cooking, some gardening including outdoor crafts. For a particular item, I like making decorative strands -- usually with some combination of beads, crystals, bells, and/or charms.

Good luck with the posting and the Fishbowl!

I've seen some of your decorative strands. They're lovely!
