Hello everyone...

Totally forgot about yesterday blog.. Sorry about that..... Here  what I been doing lately... Yes recipes will be included also... So let's see.. Quilting and food recipes and drinks also....

Next.... Is food recipes...... Yes I have a lots of catching up to do on the blog.... ;)

Crispy Crab Nuggets

1 pound fresh crab meat
3 slices of white bread, crust removed or packaged bread crumbs
1 egg beaten
1 tablespoon mayonnaise
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon Old Bay Seasoning
1 tablespoon parsley

Put breadcrumbs in food processor so they are chopped up fine(to save time). In a large bowl, mix together egg, mayonnaise, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, parsley, and Old Bay seasoning. Add breadcrumbs and crab meat and mix by hand to avoid breaking up too many of the lumps. You may need to break up the very large lumps however so the crab balls will stay together. Shape into 24 balls and fry in batches in hot oil until golden brown, turning once. Drain on paper towels. Serve with your favorite sauce or don't use any! These are so good!

And last is yum yum drink..... Yes I am blogging drinks now ;)

Been working on my Irish chain quilt.. Here's what it looks like to refresh our mind...




Now here's what almost complete Irish chain looks like.. I even added butterfly to each squares took me 2 1/2 weeks to hand stitch each butterfly.... It takes time and lots of love into this...






Last part will be the name..... Almost done... Will post once it completed.... 
Now catching up fast forward.....  I made a tee shirt out of a tank top very simple and easy to make ...
 It's not that hard..... Just a shirt, scissor, sewing machine, pins also....

Before......


During...... See the white line it's scraps pieces, yellow line is keep but cut them about  1 1/2 inches and save that one for next step..


Pin the top and back part, sew them not to close to the edge. Because you want to take the piece that you cut, to pull thru the loop , to tied them at the end.


Yes that's me..... I made this took me what 20 mins to make.. Pass weekend was one hour cuz I was making two more shirts and  teach my friend how to make this lovely tee shirt into tank top....

Finally last part........ Recipes..... Yes..... 
My fav once a while dinner or lunch...
