The last ornaments in our series this year are, hands down, my absolute favorite of the lot. Isn’t it funny how 11th hour inspiration works? I had another couple of ornaments planned for the 11th and 12th spots, but I woke up yesterday morning with a super cute stroke of inspiration for crocheting some milk and cookies ornaments instead. And they turned out even better than I’d hoped! These little dudes could not be more appropriate for the last two ornaments of Christmas – milk and cookies go totally hand in hand with Christmas Eve. :)
