Check-In Post December 15th 2021

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.


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!

Behold the 7th batch of Christmas biscuits - this time the fancy ones again:



From the left:
Poppy seed stars
Walnut biscuits with marzipan filling
Coffee hearts with coffee ganache filling
2 versions of Nougat sandwich biscuits (only the shape and the decoration is different)
and (up right) butter cookies with coffee icing and mini-marshmallows.

The latter ones are simply butter cookies bought by Lidl; I made too much coffee icing and didn't want to throw it out. Against waste, as always...

Decorating biscuits is great fun. I hope I'll live enough to learn use a piping bag properly - *then* I'd be able to make really great decoration!

Still, I'm glad that I'll finish the session on Friday. I enjoyed it enormously (not to mention it felt like giving Covid the finger), but I'm getting a bit exhausted.
