... but I'm going to share with you his father's day present a few days early. And, it all revolves around cookies. Do you remember this from last Christmas?
Well, to sum it up, my mom has a talent for baking cookies and my dad has a talent for eating them... Not too many of them. He is a diabetic and he has Celiac disease, but everyone deserves a treat every once in a while. (I have just discovered that Poppycock can not be my treat because I have absolutely no control and I will eat the entire bag in one sitting. Then I get a tooth ache.)
So I made my dad a snack mat. A milk & cookie mat to be precise...
I picked up the plaid fabric a while back, with no project in mind, simply because it's so soft and lovely in person. Well, it was perfect for this and I really love the end result, which can't always be said. The simplicity of this cookie mat reminds me of those darling Japanese zakka crafts I love so much. I saved the details so I can make a few more for my children and possibly even one for my husband ~ the biggest cookie monster of them all. Let me know if you're interested in the template.
Well, I am off... to post this, to the gym, to the farmer's market. (Nicholas' first words this morning: "It's farmer's market day!") Love it.
