Check-In Post - Feb 21st 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!

Argh! No crafting because it's amnesty time at two writing communities (one of them my own) , plus I'm still playing at threesentenceficathon and the small_fandom drabblethon, so I need to keep writing to keep up with everything.... EEEP!

Oh have fun!

No crafting today, but this week I finished making a bunch of humidifier mineral catchers and have started washing and blocking the inherited doilies.

On Tuesday I picked up the next foster dog, Maggie. She's had a rough month. She was injured and ultimately lost a leg. She is very nervous but making a lot of progress. She is eating and today she even let my husband pet her. Previously she was hiding every time he came into the room.

Not much crafting this last week, but news of knee surgery really soon I'm getting a lot of stuff ready for post op crafting, so that's great! Lots of pouches and prayer beads with the stone skulls in them ready to put together. More silk thread arrived for making the tassels, so lots of options!

Remember- writing is just knitting with words so you ARE crafting!

Aw that's so sweet.

Done!

Today we visited the Crimson Market craft show. I found some great stuff. We also stopped at Home Depot to pick up seed starting mix and potting soil for my garden projects.

welp, was too tired for my game today (body fell apart from gaming too hard, rip) and I ended up crocheting about it because my wrists were the only part of me that felt decent

so... two new rows on the curtains done lol
