Crocodile Garland

It's not a mistake... oh, yes, you read it right--- Crocodile garland, that's it! Last week, I posted about my purple crochet necklace made of Crocodile Stitches. I made it the other week but last week, I worked on another Crocodile Necklace of another color. Here, see this.
Do you like the color? Can you spot the difference? I still used the pattern of Tia Davis but this time, instead of making Double Crochet Stitches to create the crocodile stitch, I made Trebles in order to make larger petals. So now, do you see the difference? Or maybe in the next photo you will notice...
I've been practicing making all these crocodile stitches in preparation for another project I have in mind. I hope it will become a reality before this month ends, March being the National Craft Month.

Oh, please do share any crocodile crochet project you may have made in the past! :) That would be exciting! Happy weekend to you!

    This is beautiful, too. Great idea to do such items in the crocodile stitch. I'll try this stitch, sooner or later. Tina

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...

Add olive oil as needed. Saute garlic until fragrant. Add diced

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.
