William's second chapter

I'm really sorry if you tried to read my last post on Valencia's Valor, and it didn't work. Unfortunately that blog won't let me post, so I'll just post the chapter here:

Today was the first of two parties in honor of the new Princess. They are both held at the palace, there are music, dancing, food, and speeches. Every noble family came, making the courtyard, and adjoining rooms packed, for the throne room was reserved for the King, Queen, Princess who were seated on their thrones, and the dancing couples. I glanced around me at all the people, talking and laughing. I saw Robyn and her friend talking in a corner, they seemed happy to be here. Robyn was wearing a flatteringly low cut pastel yellow gown, and was , I must admit, very beautiful in it. I decided that soon I would ask her for a dance, but first I must get myself together.
I walked around the room trying in vain to sum up the correct wording. I sighed, Well, I thought to myself I may as well give it a go, she can answer however she likes. I finished my stroll around the room and stopped when I came to her.
I made small talk for a little while, she denied knowing me, but I could see recognition in her face. Soon I could hear myself asking her for the next dance. She hesitated, but finally agreed.
We danced slowly around the floor. I tried obtaining information about her, but all of her answers were brief and I couldn't get much out of her. We finished the dance which lasted a wonderful length of time. At the end I bowed and pressed my lips to her gloved hand in the traditional way, though it felt unexplainably special with her.
I danced one dance with my younger sister, a request from my father, and another with Princes Lila as customary, but neither seemed quite as good as the one with Robyn. I still couldn't tell what it was about her that I liked so much, I guess it was everything.
The rest of the party was pretty dull, I talked to a few friends to burn time but I couldn't stop thinking of Robyn. I decided that the day after tomorrow I would go call on her, but until then I would have to make due with just thinking about her.

Holiday cheer!

Saltine Toffee

Here is one of my favorite holiday recepies. We used to make it and give it away for Christmas presents to distant family:

4oz Saltine crackers
1 cup butter
1 cup brown sugar
2 cups chocolate chips
3/4 cup pecans

1) Preheat oven to 400 degrees
2) Line cookie sheep with crackers
3) In a sauce pan combine sugar and butter, bringing it to a boil for 3 minutes. Pour over crackers and spread
4) Bake for 5-6 minutes, and then spread melted chocolate on top

Yet another of my holiday prodjects

So, I finnished my arm warmers last night (I liked them but not enough to post pics, sorry!), so now I'm working on this awesome hat for a friend. Mine will be black and maybe a little of blue at the top.

Here are the pics that they posted on the site:

Season's Greetings!

Some pretty cool arm warmers

Where I live, it get's pretty cold during the winter. So, for Christmas I like to crochet things like hats, scarves, and just recently arm warmers. Currently I'm working on a pair of black and white ones that match a hat I made yesterday(I may post pics later...if I remember:D), and they are really cool so I figured I'd share them. I found the pattern here and here is the pic that they had on the site.(I REALLY want to get these colors, they are REALLY pretty!):

The Hobbit!!!!!!!!!!!

So, I can NOT wait to see this movie! The director split it up into three parts which will come out December 14th 2012, December 13th 2013, and July 18th 2014.

For those few who have not seen it here is the tailor:

Also, for those of you who don't know, it's about Bilbo Baggins(a hobbit) who has an adventure inwhich he finds a ring that makes him invisible. The story goes on, continuing his adventures, and use of the ring.


Happy holidays!!!
