Check-In Post October 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!

Kids and Crafts

[annofowlshire]

I finally finished this spin that seemed to take forever! Also finished my little colorwork tree ornament.

The Enting and I did a little bit of crafting together, too. Cutting out felt and glueing random things to to it and turning them into puppets. He calls them Mummy, Daddy, and Nonny (family friend), and he’s clearly going through an impressionist phase ;)

Despite being crafty, I’ve not really been into doing crafty stuff with him (and for a while he didn’t seem interested, too), but I may have gotten excited and bought some wintery themed craft kits he and I can decorate the house for the coming season ^_^

(I also got us pumpkins to carve last week for Halloween, but as everyone was down with a stomach bug this weekend, I decided to hold off until next weekend. In any case, no one can see our front door anyway so it’s just for us…)

Well done on your progress on your projects. It's great fun when young ones are the right age to craft with - I loved the time I had to spend with my nephew and niece - my nephew is now too old and my time with my niece has been hampered by recent times - we've been able to resume just in the last couple of months after missing about a year.

Crafting with your kids is great fun and they have visible results to be proud of. Enjoy your wintry craft kits.

Yay for completing two things!

Also yay for crafting with Enting. Hopefully now he's started trying stuff he'll get more enthusiastic and you'll enjoy it too.

Hope you're all recovered now. Enjoy your pumpkin carving!

It isn't always easy to make the young ones interested in crafting, but when you manage to do so, the results are more satisfactory. Doing it with your own child is perhaps less... err... eventful than with a heap of pre-teen schoolkids, though. *g*
