Hello to all members, passers-by, curious onlookers, and shy lurkers, 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.


This Week's Question: No question this week.


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!

The last two teddy keyrings can be viewed here. I've made them this morning, to finally fill the remaining little gift boxes after I had made the first 22 teddys somewhen during summer, but decorated more boxes than I had teddys, so those needed to be filled, too.

I also made some more surprise gift boxes out of empty toilet rolls for the fair. The name of such gifts is cat-in-the-sac in Hungarian (because the buyer doesn't actually know what s/he is buying), so I folded the toilet rolls in a way that vaguely reminds of cats and painted cat faces on them after filling them.

Originally I intended to do some paper embroidery but decided that finishing the two dozen would be more urgent. Paper embroidery tomorrow.

Small gifts like those in the surprise eggs, plus one piece of wrapped candy in each.

Last year I sold more than 200 pieces of them.

I seriously doubt that there would he half as many this year, but every piece counts. The real challenge is to find enough small items to put into them. I'm up to 34 at the moment.

Oh, I'm not trying to break any record! As many as I manage will be just the right amount. I've got lots of other stuff to offer. These are just for the small purse.

I love the sound of the cat boxes!

I'll take a photo eventually. :)

Wow, you're speeding along!

I remembered to make my WIPs post

I've been doing token progress on the two crochet projects as my dailies - over the last three days I've added one row to the pink one and about half a row to the multi-coloured one.
