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: We all probably have multiple WiPs, but which of yours has been hanging around longest, waiting to be finished?


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!

... with the basket weaving. I've used a different wet glue. The work itself went a tiny bit better, but the glue soaked through the cardboard and the weave ended up every bit as lopsided as at the first time. Next try: the glue stick. This promises to be a frustrating project, I'm afraid.

I doubt it would work with this kind of things. Besides, these are meant for kids, and staples can cause injuries.

Some aren't meant to be but if you don't try it'll haunt you. Here's to hoping it goes good!

Thanks. Hope dies last, as they say.

Sorry to hear it's a struggle to get things working just right - hopefully you'll get there.

Oh, I will, eventually. Even though I will make the ugliest baskets in history. That is why I started so early.
