Check-In Post November 24th 2020

[falkner]

Hello, lovely crafters! Welcome to our daily check-in post, where you can tell everybody all about your most recent progress (or lack thereof). Feel free to also chat with other members and generally enjoy yourself!

Check-in is not compulsory, you decide if and when to take part in these posts.


Today's optional question:

How much planning do you put in your projects? Do you immediately get started when inspiration strikes? Or you do meticulously plan everything in advance instead?

If you have questions or suggestions about the community, requests for tags, or want to host the daily check-in posts, head over to the Questions & Suggestions post and leave a comment there.

Planning? What planning? There is only chaos here. I don't even plan my writing.
I think if I was it I something like patchwork I'd need to plan but most of my crafts are just see what happens.
I made two more cards last night and they were much better than the first bunch so I think I'm slowly getting back into the swing of it. Though I spent ages agonising over the first one trying to get the right combination of papers and ribbons together. I'm such a fusspot over the colours being even slightly off and not coordinating. :s

Heee! I don't plan my writing either. Wouldn't help if I did, the characters never do as they're told anyway...

I'm so with you on that, and if the light isn't right it can be impossible to tell if the colours work or not >.<

Yay for getting back into the swing!

Haha! You sound a bit like Mom, in that regard. If one of the elements of her cards is slightly crooked, she fusses over it. ^.^ I've known her to take a card apart and redo it over a mild imperfection. (We both think she might have a mild case of OCD, and she has some confidence issues.)

As someone who DOES have OCD, I can say for certain that it does affect cfafting. =/
