I decided to make these for my dad and his infamous mustache: I had a pattern I was using, but it didn't work out (at all), so I made up this pattern. If anyone is interested, I could write out this pattern, it's super easy (and probably not technically correct, but it works!).. (I could not get this image to upload properly, hence why it is on it's side... you get the idea).
Also, made my mom's aunt mary's pizzelle cookies
for steve's two grandma's... they both loved receiving them and telling us they were not going to share with anyone. ah, the holiday spirit!and finally, I made this recipe by martha stewart (no lies, she has the best recipes that ALWAYS work)... they are called chocolate crackle cookies.
I used super, super, dark chocolate (85% cocoa, I don't know why I bought that bar... but when I went to use the package, I noticed it had been opened and someone snuck a piece of chocolate. not to my surprise, it was only a tiny piece. i asked steve why he ate it, and of course he thought it was going to be yummy chocolate which he thought he could sneak from me... well, it was so bitter, he only had a nibble and put it back!). anywho, i mixed half the super strong chocolate with another half of chocolate chips, and it made the cookies really rich and yummy! the kind of cookie you can have one of and be done with (or 3 in steve's case).

I LOVE the ornaments and they will be Dad's favorite!! You did a great job creating your own pattern. The cookies also look very yummy. My Aunt Mary would be honored her recipe and her loving spirit are remembered.
I'm surprised you didn't share a photo of the beautiful afghan you made for me; I am so honored to cuddle up in it at night. Thank you so much!
