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!

An exhausting, frustrating, and annoying day. I've made a start on painting the shed with wood preserver / wood stain, even though it's not complete yet, the roof still has to be put on properly, and the windows put in. Spent all afternoon on it, but only managed to get the back painted, leaving me with three more sides to go, and I'm supposed to give it two coats. According to the weather forecast, I only have three days before the rain returns. I'm not going to make it =/ The wood is so rough it takes a lot of effort to get the stain to cover it completely, working it into the grain, so my arms and hands are really going to ache.

Then I came indoors, hungry, filled a pan with water, and promptly spilled it all over the kitchen floor, down my trousers, and all over my slippers, which are going to take forever to dry since I haven't got the heating on yet so it's pretty cold indoors. Then, I burned my dinner. *sigh*

On the plus side, I've knitted my 12 rows for the day, and now back and front are the same length, with 12 pattern repeats each.

Dabbling away here and there - cards, needlework, etc. All just procrastination for the spook_me fic I'm meant to be working in to meet the deadline. Guh.
Haven't done any photos lately of projects I'm working on. Just haven't found the energy for it. Off to sit myself down and work on my fic for a solid half hour to see if I can get going.

Had a bit of extra time to spend on the tapestry yesterday

I've been partying with my one-year-old male party guests all afternoon, so I'm pretty exhausted, despite the 5 other adults present. ;)
