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:

Do you enjoy having company when crafting? Knitting groups, drawing with friends, in person, video call?

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.

Answer: In general, no, unless it's a kids craft which I'm doing with the kids. There isn't anyone to craft with, though. Maybe if someone was nearby, I'd feel differently, but the only people I know who craft are online friends who live in other parts of the world.

1. Cross stitch gift done. Here's the final:



2. I also made two landmarks from this book: Buildings, Bridges, and Landmarks, which has paper versions of about 25 famous landmarks around the world. The first is Chichen Itza, a Mayan temple in Mexico, and the other is the Taj Mahal in India.

Those are amazing!! I've seen something similar in a bookstore before, and I was very tempted to get it, but I wasn't sure I had the manual ability to actually manage a decent result.

I found this at the craft store Michael's in the US in the book section. The first few were pitiful, but with practice they start looking more like what they are. The two I've kept are the Grand Mosque of Mali and Angkor Wat of Cambodia.
