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!

Today I ventured into crafty places a bit. Meaning that I began to draw the popsickle items found on Pinterest into an exercise book.

I've decided to make two to four drawings each day this month. It will take a long time until I'll have all the ones I might want to try, but then I'll have the exact measures, the numbers of the popsickles and the extras down for use, which will make the process so much easier! A friend of mine is planning to do some popsickle crafting with me; so I'll just put out my exercise book and we can choose which item to make.

Working with a friends sounds fun - I hope you enjoy your drawings.

[wiseheart]

I do. I love planning out my projects long before I'd actually start.

[badly_knitted]

That sounds like an excellent idea, all the designs in one place to save trying to find them later.

[wiseheart]

It is necessary, as I have a memory like a sieve.

I like your planning! Pinterest boards are just too tempting to click away at. At least if you've got them in a notebook you won't suffer that rabbit hole of time wasting! I clicked a few of your popsicle links and got caught there myself! Those clever people with their glue guns...

[wiseheart]

Too bad that I'm hopeless with a glue gun, myself. :/

My method is to save the pictures I like to my own board first. Then I go through that board and save the best pieces to my HD. That way I can do my drawing, even if the internet is acting up.

Popisicle craft buddy for the win!

She's a good friend indeed. We've got a bunch of shared interests, which is great.
