White Chocolate Berry Muffin Recipe | Salihan Crafts Blog
http://salihan.com/2008/white-chocolate-berry-muffin-recipe
White Chocolate Berry Muffin Recipe. Posted on Feb 22nd, 2008 in Cook. I normally bake muffins using the store-bought muffin mix. I don’t really like baking them because they taste pretty ordinary. But the last two weeks I’ve had a craving for muffins. It’s been a while since I’ve had them and when my friend gave me this recipe, I thought I’ll just have to bake them as a Thank God It’s Friday! Reward to myself and Richard. All I can say is that I wish you were here to taste this! They are by far the best.

http://salihan.com/2008/my-first-knitted-cardigan
My FIRST Knitted Cardigan! Posted on Nov 16th, 2008 in Knit. I’ve done it! I’ve knitted fearlessly and conquered my aprehension of knitting my own garment. I was worried it wouldn’t fit, I’ll make a mistake and won’t want to wear it, the colour might be all wrong for my skin tone and the pessimism goes on. Well, I did make mistakes but I’ve managed to hide them and I’ve worn my cardigan out! I’m grinning on the inside. Heeee…. 8216;February Lady Sweater’ Free Knitting Pattern. 11/16/2008 at 3:14 pm.

Posted on Sep 27th, 2010 in Crafts. I’ve been putting the finishing touches on my Christmas charity knitting. I made a pom pom tonight after dinner. It’s a good project even when you’re bleary eyed, sleepy and tired. I swear the pom pom looks better in real life! I was just too lazy to walk down to the garage to use my light tent. I’m almost asleep. Maybe I’ll dream about sleeping on a soft, fluffy pom pom… zzz…. Fun tutorial to make pom pom:. 2 Responses to “Pom Pom! 09/28/2010 at 12:36 am.

Forever is here | Salihan Crafts Blog

Posted on Apr 16th, 2010 in Crochet. Winter nights will not be shadowed by gloom this year. Something gloriously bright and cheerful is here to perk us up during the long hours of darkness. Folded neatly at the foot of our bed are soft rounds of organic cotton, colours intermingling with each other, dark and light shoulder to shoulder. Each stitch crocheted with love and thoughts of being together forever. Just before the lights went out? If it was, I can’t wait for tonight. 04/16/2010 at 10:56 am. Sound...

Charity Santa Helmet 2.0. Posted on Oct 4th, 2010 in Knit. I made another knitted santa helmet for charity! This time I’m donating it to a lovely man, Steve Woodman, in UK who does an annual motorcycle toy run to Bradbury House and the Children’s Ward at Royal Shrewsbury Hospital. There are over 300 motorcyclists involved in this run. How exciting and wonderful for the children! I made quite a few improvements to the original Santa Helmet pattern. The mods are as follows:.
