Cakes and slices

When I was a little girl, I love watching cooking shows on TV and still love that up to now. I love watching my grandma cook and if she let's me help I am so happy. When I got to High school I tried cooking some and my brother was my worst critic while grandma is my greatest fan :) 
I remember one time when I was teenager,  I was in the mood for cooking but I didn't know what to cook so I went to the kitchen and try to cook something with the ingredients I found in the kitchen, after it I call my sister to try it and it was a success she said I should cook more...hmm now I wonder if she really likes what I prepare or she just want me to cook because it will lessen her  chores????
Then in college my group and I won a contest which I was the leader of the group and do most the cooking and plating it's a group of four and I can't remember which contest it was a mini contest in our class, wherein we were given a box with ingredients inside and we have to prepare it, cook our own recipe from it and we must use all the ingredients inside, there are fruits, veggies  ground beef eggs etc. I remember I made a red swan out of the apple ^_^.... just sad I din't have a picture of it.

 I really love cooking specially cakes and desserts..I am not an expert though I just love baking cakes and give it as a gift on friends birthdays, I use to do this when I was in Doha, I just hope my friends likes them. Here are some of the cakes and other recipes.

 Have a wonderful Monday everyone and keep smiling :)

Why do I crochet????


My life has been a little boring for about a year now, other than taking care of my super active lovely boy, which turned me into a monstrous screaming mother!! (plus the other things in my mind which make a a bit insane >_<)I said this could not be happening, I said  I need to find an way to keep me calm, freeze my mind from thinking and of course keep my sanity. And I saw the beautiful  crochet projects, I started searching for patterns, bought some yarns and hooks, at first I just chain and form but never know what or which one will I make, I have an idea in my chaotic mind that I want to make  top but I don't have any pattern so I push my poor confused and stressed mind to think how am I going to make one, then I search YouTube. and saw tutorials and follow each one that I like but never finish a whole ha ha ha crazy.. so I searched for  patterns and saw many beautiful one and keep downloading each pattern so I was stuck admiring those finished products and keep saying OMG I want to make these and this and this oh and this one too....never ending believe me everyday searching for patterns and stuck there, and in the end I haven't make any.


Finally I decided to make a beanie hat and the happiness when I finish it is overwhelming though it is just a simple beanie ^_^








Then I also made a bear beanie and a sandal  for the super active one :)
Then a beret..




Then my first ever crocheted bolero from Girlie's Crochet free pattern, my friends liked it too but they like it in black. So this is what keeps me calm and keep me from thinking of those never ending what ifs in my mind and of course crocheting makes me happy.
 Have a wonderful weekend everyone 
Take care and keep Smiling :)
