Check-In Post August 23rd 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!

The sleeve seams are now done and looking good, though I say so myself. Just the side seams to do tomorrow as I'm losing the daylight.

I’m about to start on my cross-stitch for today. I’ve spent some time going through all the other kits that I can find and my box of ‘spare threads’ with no luck at finding any more of the colour I was hoping to find to finish the flooring in the current project, which was a shame.

Unfortunately I also found more kits waiting to be done or finished including some I was given when a relative died. The waiting pile just almost doubled but at least the newly found ones are mostly fairly small.

I can picture another box of spare threads but cannot find it anywhere - that probably means it’s in the loft but I’m not up to tacking the ladder tonight!

I finished the Harry Potter hat from the kit the daughter gave me for my birthday. Not the sort of thing I'd wear when visiting places etc, but ideal for walking locally once winter comes.
