Flower Necklace

Last year, I posted about the crocheted gifts I gave away for my friends (click here to view post). These are the Rainbow Coasters, the Lacy Hair Scrunchies, the Crocheted Necklace, Coffee Sleeves, Flower Basket Corsage, Beverage Cozies and the Retro Neck Band. For the past weeks, I've been posting also about the making of each of these crocheted gifts.  So far, I have featured individually the making of the Retro Neck Band, the Lacy Hair Scrunchies, the Rainbow Coasters and the Flower Basket Corsage. I haven't posted yet about the making of the Coffee Sleeves and the Beverage Cozies. But I will, yes, very, very soon!

For this year, I've been thinking of making floral give-aways. In fact, I have already started another flower crochet marathon! To start with, I made a rose which I featured in the post entitled, "Rose Buds as Identifiers." Click here to view post.

And now, for my second flower project, here, take a look...

 It started with this flower applique. The pattern for the flowers I got from Monday Project - Crocheted May Flowers by Art Threads. The post offers a tutorial on how to make small and large pieces of flowers.


The tutorial from Art Threads also includes a simple and easy pattern for crocheting leaves but for this work, I made my own by just looking at the beautiful piece of crochet art in the photo below, from where the whole idea came from.

This is a real beauty, don't you think? To inspire you more, watch the video below showcasing a variety of designs.


Now for the cord, having in mind my plain blue dress in the first photo above, here is what I did... SCs round and round and round all the way from beginning to end. I was able to do that while watching my favorite TV shows!

So here, take another look at my finished product! This crocheted flower necklace indeed makes a perfect accessory for my plain blue dress. Don't you think so? It already got more than 20 likes on my FB page :)



 Do you like it? It's very easy. Now, why don't you start making the flowers, then the leaves and the cord? Then share your crocheted flower at my FB page at https://www.facebook.com/GardenchefsNeedleAndPen or click here to view.

    Oooo. I like this! I can't crochet to save my life, but I do have a book full of knitted flower patterns. I bet I could improvise. This would be a staple spring/summer accessory for me. :-D

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...

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.
