Granny Square on Labor Day

Hi, it's the 1st of May and I'm enjoying my holiday. What better way to relax from work other than embarking on a new crochet project that has been on my mind for quite some time.


"Begin with the end in mind," so they say, so I have pictured the finished product (which I couldn't divulge as of now) although I still haven't figured out how to go about it... I also work through a discovery method, you know. Hopefully I'll be able to finish this project soon. It's going to be an application of the different ideas I have seen from different crochet sites I've been visiting. 

Here are a few pieces I have made since last night. I'm glad I still have the colors I like most from my stash,

 
 but, yes, I also borrowed this ball from my daughter. 



I started with this one square last night.




   Now, here are some pieces I made.




Will continue making many more of these. The spring colors are just so inspiring! The addiction has once again begun. So hard to resist!

Meanwhile, have a productive day (or have a restful night? depends on which part of the globe you are in)! :)

    Love your Granny squares Eve, I've recently been given a big shopping bag full of scrap balls of wool, so I shall also be crocheting a blanket with Granny squares. What I love to do though is crochet lace but I can't find any patterns here and my patterns are all locked away in the warehouse which is very frustrating. Perhaps I'll find something suitable in Google. Happy crafting my friend. Kind Regards Mandy

Pesto Spanish Sardines Pasta: A Remake

There's a saying that goes, "One is enough, two is too much..." Uh uhhh, not for this!!! I'm referring to the Spanish Sardines Pasta which was my welcome post this year. My daughter, Ayana Grace, bought a bottle of pesto from the grocery store last month (she usually does...we seldom run out of pesto sauce in our cupboard) and I just wasn't able to resist making another try of the Pesto Spanish Sardines Pasta so here it is... Ingredients: 2 tbsps reserved oil from bottled sardines 2 tbsps olive oil 1 tbsp minced garlic 1/4 cup diced tomato 1 cup flaked Spanish sardines 1/3 cup Pesto sauce 1/4 cup pitted black olives 1/4 cup button mushrooms 1/2 kilo pasta noodles, cooked according to package instructions salt and pepper to taste Whole pieces of Spanish sardines (1 piece as topping per serving) Parsley for garnish   Steps: In a large saute pan, heat oil from sardines.

Ensaladang Mustasa

It's back to work today, after five days of rest, something I've been looking forward to. As if the  long Christmas holiday vacation was not enough :) Well, days just seem to fly so fast! Thanks to the additional non-working holidays brought about by the Pope's visit to my country, the Philippines. I had time to relax, stay at home, bond with family and yes, sort picture files in my computer. In between social networking, of course, I cooked for my family. With my husband home, there has to be fish and vegetables on the dining table. There was a bunch of mustasa (mustard) leaves left in the vegetable bin. What could be a better and perfect partner to fried fish than Ensaladang Mustasa (Mustard Salad)? Very simple and easy, here's how I did it. Ingredients: 1 bunch of mustasa leaves Rock salt 2 medium-sized tomatoes, sliced 1 small onion, sliced thinly 3 tbsps vinegar Iodized salt, ground pepper and sugar to taste Steps: 1. Cut mus

Ensaladang Alugbati (Malabar Spinach Salad)

This post appeared in my Facebook memories today. I'm glad it did! I featured this salad in my FB page a year ago.  Alugbati  (Malabar Spinach)  Salad (Ensaladang Alugbati). This came up when I received for the first time this bouquet of alugbati from Erik, my officemate. He shares with us fruits and veggies fresh from his garden.
