Check-In Post September 24th 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!

*waves* Due for a check in I must be! Still locked down and still waiting for my first vaccine appointment, so meh.

Dabbling here and there. A few cards in the last couple of days after a mini hiatus of lacking inspiration. Trying also to bake something each weekend. This weekend it was dark choc banana loaf and last weekend lemon butter and a lemon slice (lemons have come into abundance on our tree after years of gawl wasp infestation).
Mainly working on my baby cross stitch, maybe three quarters of the main design done, but turns out that all the white segments are just blank, not actually white stitching, so I think once it's done I'll go back and fill in the white with real stitches to make it look less cheap and shortcutty (I hate blank areas, it just feels wrong). I've got some leftover white thread but can always order more. White is one colour easy to buy at least.

Hope everyone else is doing okay!

Sounds like you're getting a lot done on various projects. I like the sound of the lemon slice, but like Tosh, I'm allergic to bananas.

The cross stitch is going great. I know what you mean about the blank areas in a design, Makes it look unfinished somehow. It's fine if it's the background, but when it's part of the design...

Good to hear that your lemon tree is doing so well! I had a problem with gall wasps too and had to do a massive cut back. The dark choc banana loaf sounds divine!
