Check-In Post June 6th 2021

[badly_knitted]

Hello to all members, 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.


Today's Question: No question today.


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!

Owl progress

[wiseheart]

18 out of my 30 little paper owls now have their wings attached. This is the more crafty part of the project, as I have to synchronize the colours between owl body, belly and wings. But I'm getting there. And I've already used up a lot of my leftover paper scraps, so it's a really economic project, as I've mentioned before.

That it certainly is. *g*

Sounds like fun, matching all your scraps up.

Re: Owl progress

Well, I can't just throw out my scraps, now can I? Craft paper is unreasonably expensive. And pretty. It would be a crime to waste any of it. ;)

The scraps all come in useful somewhere.

Yay! That's a lot of work done.

You need good light to pick the colours, I imagine. That's the problem I always have when making cards and things. It's important that the colours look right together.

Especially as they look differently in sunlight and in artificial light.

Re: Owl progress

It's the eternal problem. Nothing looks right under artificial light.
