Check-In Post August 29th 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!

I've been busy with the rocking horse restoration and the disastrous paint job which I've repainted twice now. The little leather saddle is looking great and I'll be doing some posts with photos on LJ and posting links here with more photos. The paint is nice but I just can't get the dapples right, and I want to put the clear top coat on but obviously, dapples go under that. It's pretty without.. but the heart wants what the heart wants lol.

I'm looking forward to the photos. It's clearly a labour of love!

So excited, and looking forward to seeing the progress you've been making. Hopefully you'll figure out how to get the dapples the way you want them. Do you have a name for the rocking horse yet?

[medievalrosalie]

The naming shall be done by a 3 year old grandbabe, so quite frankly, it could be almost anything. He has a fish called "Dingo."

Grandbabe is clearly not one to follow the herd. Viva individuality! He'll go far with a mind that thinks outside the box.
