Check-In Post August 2nd 2021

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!

Fantastic progress! So annoying to run out of thread though. I hope you can scrounge enough from somewhere else to finish your design.

I'm in the minority in that I enjoy doing backstitch, seeing it bring a design to life. I can't imagine that black against the dark aida is easy to stitch.

Under normal circumstances I'm with you I love doing the outlining - both because of the way it lifts the design and as you say brings it to life and because it's so often a sign of being almost complete and a growing feeling of accomplishment.

Obviously I'm somewhat less enthusiastic this time because while in parts the design is getting that finished feel, at times I feel like I'm outlining part and it's not doing anything to the design. I'm hanging on to the 'almost finished and then I can work on something else' feeling though.

You'll get there, soon as you find the thread you need. It'll be worth all your efforts. *cheers you on*
