Pamela G, can't post on your blog but those peppermint bark cookies sure look good. I too have to prep my half-eaten gingerbread men - I'm having a hard time finding the right color of felt but I guess they'll get done with what I have. I want to cut them out & put them with the pattern & all accessories in a ziploc to work on. Will you be sewing them by machine or by hand?
I've got him cut out and I was planning to sew by hand (don't know how to work the sewing machine and not quite in the mood to drag out the manual - will have to wait 'til hubby comes home to show me how - yes, I know, isn't that awful? he's the sew-er (had to put in the hyphen or it comes out sewer!) in the family, all those uniforms! - I was never interested in sewing when I was young and just never learned - sad now because there are so many cool fabrics and patterns - I'll have to sign up for a class). Anyway, sewing by hand just wasn't happening today - too many things on the schedule and I'm just now getting a chance to relax and eat dinner - 7pm - I think I'm going to watch my Christmas movie and go to bed early!
BTW, the bark is just chocolate, it's candy really, two layers of chocolate with a little crunch from the peppermint. You have given me a great idea, though, those melted chocolate layers on top of a cookie would be yummy.
