Check-In Post October 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!

They are very versatile. If heated in the microwave or in the oven (or simply kept on the heating for a while) they're very good for rheumatic pain or the likes. If kept in the freezer for a couple of hours, they're very good for insect bites or inflamed body parts. I used one after my arm got swollen and inflamed after the second Covid jab and it brought everything down within the week.

Basically, they're used as cold or warm packs. And since they are only loosely filled, they can adapt to the shape of the body part nicely. I kept mine under the sleeve of my t-shirt for 15 minutes a time and it remained on my upper arm without sliding down.

Ooh, I didn't know you could use cherry stones like that! My husband goes through bags of cherries so I'll have to remember that :)

They are very practical and easy to make. I made quite a few for last years' Christmas fair, which then got cancelled, and am now using up the remaining cherry stones.

They sound wonderfully useful, a great idea!
