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 have a writing challenge with a very tight deadline, so I only had time for 12 rows tonight. I need to get back to editing...

I was almost crafty today. While clearing out the wardrobe I found a red and white striped terrycloth t-shirt that I'd outgrown (sidewise) a few decades ago and decided to make oven mittens from it that would go with the children's cookbook I made for Theo. So today I cut the thing in pieces, made the templates, cut out the different parts from both the fabric and the lining material and pinned them together. That way, I can work on them a bit whenever I find a little time.

My second stitched coaster is finished, as has the eighth square of my throw. And because I like to keep things complicated, I've decided the next square will have several different shades of colour. No pics, but I'll be doing a full craft post tomorrow, which I'll post a link to.

More work on the cave wall, finished the main colour of Mickey's hat and his other ear which sticks out of the hat.

Settled into the new job and one of my new coworkers bought me a cross stitch kit (because he knows I have to buy a lot of things for the new apartment in September >.<) and...even though I have other kits ...I started the new one! I definitely love the border on it so I can't wait to finish it and reuse the border pattern for something else.

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.
