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

Deck the halls!

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!):

 

 

Tis the season!

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!!!

Notification

In case any of you have not noticed the past two posts on my other blog(Valencia's Valor), have not shown up. First of all if anyone has any suggestions as to why they are not, please tell me! Second of all I will be posting the chapters here on this blog until I can figure it out. So here is Robyn's second chapter, it will be the last for a while so we can have some time to write.

By the way the setting for this one is Robyn is at an after party for the coronation.

Corry was late once again, forcing me to chat with the other young people, an action I found quite distasteful. That girl was going to drive me to my grave!
Now I absentmindedly conversed with Lisa, Lila's cousin. She was overly obsessed With the throne, declaring it was rightfully hers for she was older, I could care less which one got it.
Just when Lisa told me yesterday should've been HER coronation, Lila approached us, shutting Lisa up immediately. While Lila had blond hair and bright blue eyes, Lisa had frizzy red hair and green eyes the color of a horse pasture. Today, Lila was dressed in a light green; Lisa dressed in a navy blue.
"Hello Lady Robyn, Lisa," Lila said with a nod towards both of us. Lisa scoffed and walked away, her nose in the air.
"Thank you," I told Lila, hugging her.
"No problem. I detest my cousin as much as you do!" we giggled behind our hands.
"Well, Lady Yerinrik, yellow quite becomes you," a deep, raspy (but not unattractive), voice addressed me to my right.
William was rapidly walking towards us, and he bowed once he was no further than a yard away from me. Lila and I curtsied in reply, then Lila excused herself and hurried to greet some duke.
"Thank you, Sir...?" I decided to play dumb, maybe he would get the hint and leave me alone. He didn't.
"William. Do you not remember me?"
"Have we met before?"
"Yes, at various other parties." He looked at me funny "Do you not remember me?"
"Oh," was my simple-minded reply, ignoring his question.
"Would you like to dance?" He inquired, offering his palm. I hesitated, but agreed, taking his hand and curtsying.
I hadn't danced in such a long time. His warm left hand completely engulfed my small gloved right hand. His other hand was placed firmly but gently on my hip and my left hand rested gracefully on his shoulder. We waltzed smoothly around the ballroom. Who knew that a single dance with an almost stranger would lure me into a perfect bliss?
After a few turns around the throne room, William started a conversation with me. I didn’t let him know much about me, just my likes and dislikes. I learned very little about him though.
Once the song was over, he let go of me and kissed my hand. "It was lovely dancing with you," he turned and left with that single statement.
A statement that left me blushing.
Corry was by my side in a moment's time.
"What happened to you?" she inquired, her eyebrows raised as she studied my trance-like state.
"Oh, nothing," I sighed.

Happy Reading!
Poohbear:D
