“Life is like ice cream; enjoy it before it melts.”

Unknown

I scream, you scream we all scream for…CROCHET ICE CREAM APPLIQUÉS!

Listen. I am afraid of many things…but consuming raw cookie dough is not one of those things. Chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream is WHERE IT’S AT! I’ve tried other flavors. They are all just ok. Like, they are cold and refreshing, but the squish of that cookie dough along with the flavor of a cookie in my ice cream is unsurpassed by any other flavor!

I feel like it’s a race between the ice cream melting and me consuming it so that I can enjoy every last bit of it before it becomes ice cream soup in a waffle bowl.

The desire to enjoy ice cream to the fullest seems a lot like life doesn’t it? We have these high moments. Moments of time that are beautiful and jam-packed with fun and laughter and happiness and joy.

But times come and go. Seasons change. Soon the happiness is replaced by sadness. The joy is replaced by sorrow and the laughter with crying. Are you savoring every joyful moment before it’s gone forever? Life is short. Eat the dessert. Have the ice cream. Enjoy it…

…before it melts away.

Attaching

You can use your new appliqué to add some ice cream goodness to any of your makes!  It fits perfectly on the Everything Cozy or Everything Pouch patterns by Kathy of Kathy’s Kozies.  You can find these patterns in her Etsy shop! It’s also great for attaching to my Garden Flag pattern!

To attach your appliqué, simply use a basting stitch around the edge of the appliqué.  Grab only the top of the corresponding stitches beneath, so the stitches do not show through on the other side.

Kathy also has these adorable matching wooden ice cream buttons to match this appliqué!

This project was a collaboration with Kathy of Kathy’s Kozies and her Everything Cozy or her Everything Pouch!  It was designed to fit both the cozy and pouch which you can find in her Etsy store along with matching wooden buttons for all of my appliqués!
