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!

32 rows is great! And hooray for the new vacuum cleaner!

Commenting for the first time because I dislocated a finger at work last week (it's not too sore and seems to be healing well but it's taped up and I can't do much). Instead of spending my weekend knitting, I have to live vicariously through other people's projects and gaze longingly upon my stash!

Kinda sorta did another chapter in Code This Game! I opted not to make all the changes to the program that they suggested. I did make one change, and it's sorta working but not quite right. Will debug tomorrow.

Also, two rows on the blanket.

I am well pleased with this progress for the day because we were out of the house most of the afternoon/evening (it's 9:13 and we just walked in 10 minutes ago) so I didn't have much time today to work on stuff.

Great about the new vacuum cleaner. it's the little things like that which make like nice. And as always.. hooray on the knitting!

I hope your finger heals quickly. Fingers are the worst as you need them for absolutely everything.

Yay for the coding! That's great! And two more blankie rows! Slowly but surely!

Not really much crafting this weekend. A little more of the inside seam of the linen kirtle and a little elderberry tart sharing. I spend time in the garden today and was very busy not doing things I should have by getting sidetracked upgrading my website so I can migrate one of my other websites to integrate into my main one.

Blog post on lj about the website things if anyone is keenly interested in the collections website migration plans. https://medievalrosalie.livejournal.com/55350.html

Poor you! Hopefully, the finger will recover quickly and completely. It's such a hindrance in just about everything.

Sounds familiar. *g*

I'm one day behind things as I spend the earlier hours online as everyone else. ;)
Anyway, I've finished colouring the little cardboard stars and have started working on the popsicles themselves with acrylic paint and a flat brush. I much prefer working with acrylic pens, but they won't give the same nice, even colour on wood, so things are getting a bit messy over here. *g*

Sometimes you just have to do what you have to do. And having a working vacuum cleaner can make your life so much easier.

I bought a new vacuume cleaner this year too, which I'd been bithering about. I wanted a goot cat hair one but also a quiet one so it doesn't upset her much. I thought no way I could get both, but in the end I did, and for a price which was lower than most normal ones. I hope your new one brings you as much happiness.

I think we are all guilty of this at some stage!

There is nothing quite like painting with brushes. It's messier but great. I'm sure the better colour will be worth it!
