December: A Lovely Year of Finishes ~ Finishes Party

Yeah we are at the end of December!

This is the last ALYoF link up for this year, and wow it's been a lovely year of finishes!

And you saw that Melissa and I are doing this again. . . right?  If not go see my post here.

~~~

What a fantastic month.  I've been busy as I predicted.  I haven't been able to touch my goal - yet.  That's what the last minute is for...right?

I was able to accomplish croissants - wow they are YUMMY

The most complicated thing I have ever baked. Christmas croissants for the fam. Lots of learning on this one!   Merry Christmas

Thanks to a craftsy class called Classic Croissants at Home 
I must have watched this at least 8 times before attempting this.  I made a few mistakes but wowza.

You'll see this being reviewed next year. . can you guess how much I liked this class?

~~~
We'll back to ALYoF...

  1. I am in awe that you made croissants. Since I lived in France (decades ago), I am always in search of an authentic croissant but never imagined I'd succeed in making one.

  3. The croissants look absolutely yummy! I signed up for the bread making class on Craftsy, but I have yet to attempt making one! :-)

  4. After today's marathon sewing session to finish my Dec goal, I am craving for your fabulous croissants...
    Thanks for hosting all year long! You made me do things I didn't believe I could finish ;-)
    The power of motivation, what can I say.
    Off to sign up for 2014 and get your batch on my blog. Happy New Year!
