  4. I like almost all of them! LOVE the red one with the white hearts going up the side, and the white one with the random dots. The only pattern I’m not *as* crazy about is the one that had the hearts with the squiggly balloon lines beneath them. From far away, and maybe it’s just me, it reminds me of sperm. It’s probably just me, and I’m sure I’ll get over it. Beautiful job, as always. Your cornelli lace work is phenomenal! I have not been able to pull that one off. Your steady hand impresses me!

  8. Wow!
    I can’t remember how I found your blog, but I am very happy I did! I’ve been dating this new wonderful guy for only about 3 months and honestly I didnt know WHAT to get him for V-Day. Not a clue! Stumbling across this website has made me want to cook something of this caliber (granted it probably wont be NEARLY as professional looking) for him! I’m excited to try out some of these V-Day dessert recipes! These cookies are probably going to be it though! I love them, they’re fairly simple, and its not some store bought gift!
