Blue and White Apple Blossom Showcase

Hello there! I have this unexplainable addiction to roses and rosebuds lately and look at what I made last Sunday. 
White and blue roses as necklace for my uniform. I used variegated blue and white yarn for the smaller roses.
 
I've been wanting to make a rose for the bag I'm bringing to the office every Monday and Wednesday because I imagined it would make a perfect match to our uniform. But I suddenly changed my mind. Instead, using the Granny Rose pattern of Apple Blossom Dreams, I used for the rose identifiers of Mae Ann in A Rosy Adieu and Eleanor in A Promise of a New Beginning, 
I decided to make a necklace like what Crochet Dynamite did in the Recycled Rose Necklace which I also featured in my post (The Crochet Dynamite) last February.
Thank you, Astri, for the pattern! Have a great week ahead, everyone!

    What a great idea to make a necklace out of the rose. You look great in your uniform and the roses add just the perfect touch. :-)

    I'm sorry I am behind on email - the CAL page where I posted your roses does not have a comment option (that I know of). Comments can be made on the home page. I may be posting about rose projects on the home page in the future so I will included your projects with that post as well if that's ok with you.

    Have a good day!

      Thank you, Astri, the roses can be removed and changed if I would like a different color. Wow, getting featured by you again is something to look forward to! Hope I could make granny roses, too.

      Hi T'onna, this is a very late reply. I wonder if you have finally pushed your plan for a crochet jewelry now that the holidays are coming soon?! I haven't participated much on your link parties lately. Just pretty busy.

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.
