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: What is a craft that you tried but abandoned?
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!
I made the previous, grumbling, entry this morning. I could have mentioned that despite various noises, I got passable sleep 2 nights in a row, but didn't think of it.
This afternoon I got out, and had a pleasant time, perhaps because I mostly avoided traffic. ( Read more... )
It's challenge time!
Comment with Just One Thing you've accomplished in the last 24 hours or so. It doesn't have to be a hard thing, or even a thing that you think is particularly awesome. Just a thing that you did.
Feel free to share more than one thing if you're feeling particularly accomplished! Extra credit: find someone in the comments and give them props for what they achieved!
Nothing is too big, too small, too strange or too cryptic. And in case you'd rather do this in private, anonymous comments are screened. I will only unscreen if you ask me to.
Go!

Time to get our moods on!
This week's Minimum moods are: Enthralled, Happy, Indescribable
This week's Medium and Maximum moods are: Discontent, Gloomy, Anxious
Gloomy is such a great mood for this, IMO! It has a very visual feeling to it, all overcast skies and melodrama. Discontent, on the other hand, is a little harder to narrow down. It's a bit of a cousin to Anxious here, shifting on its feet and frowning a bit, but not necessarily able to put a finger on it or vocalize why exactly. It's not quite uncomfortable, but it's not not uncomfortable, you know? Anxious, of course, is vibrating nervous energy, afraid to put a line out of place and worried about what's going on.
What are your thoughts on this week's moods? Do you have a different take on them? And do you think you'll have an easy time with them, or will they be more difficult? Some of each? Let's talk about it!
