Check-In Post February 14th 2024

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: Who do you most enjoy making things for: family, friends, yourself, a special someone?


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!

A LotR themed bar. WOW! I bet that was fun!

It was! I hadn't been in since they changed locations, so I was a tad skeptical. The original location was a bit out of town to get there and they had decorated the inside so it would look like a bar in the movies and there was a big map on the wall. Their new location is in the middle of town and much smaller, but the trek to get there adds to the ambience. You walk into the building, which houses 5 or 6 other business on the street level and have to find the steep concrete staircase that leads underground and weave your way through the dark hallway (which in the right mindset, are reminiscent of tunnels), until you find a literal hole in the wall that seems to be glowing. You go inside a tiny hallway and it opens up to the very small bar (the bar itself seats 3 people and there are 2 tables that max out at 6 people each and it would be a very tight squeeze). The walls are painted a yellow that makes you think of gold and there is a mural that takes up most of the back wall.
