Crocodile Stitch Necklace

In my previous post entitled "Crocodile Stitch Bracelet," I featured a link to Tia Davis whose pattern I used in making a crocodile bracelet for the first time.  Towards the end of that post, I mentioned about my desire to make a handbag made of crocodile stitches. Well, to this post, I still haven't done that but I have made two necklaces out of this stitch already. The first one I made especially for an old friend who spent her vacation at home early this year. I made it in such a hurry that I failed to photograph it before giving it away. 
Here's the second necklace I made using purple variegated thread.

Look at what Ayana Grace did to Ana Cristina's huggables!
 
 Cuddly                                and                                 Bubbles

She turned my Crocodile Stitch Necklace  into wreaths! Oh, by the way, Ayana Grace and Ana Cristina are both my daughters :)

Crocheting any project made of crocodile stitch is addicting! So addicting that at this writing I am actually doing another necklace of a different color. I will feature this third crocodile stitch necklace in another post. 

Any plans of making one like this? Once you've started making one, you would want to do a lot more, believe me!

Oh, I'm sorry, Panda would like to join the parade, too!
 And together, here they all are...




A wonderful week ahead!

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. 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.
