Fish Tacos Anyone?

For some reason, fish and tacos just don't settle with me.
My daughter worked for many years in a restaurant and when we visited her, I tried the shrimp taco on their menu. They were good. I even made them at home and those who ate them said they were really delicious. 

But to me, shrimp and fish are two very different tastes. I love shrimp so I would try anything made with the curly striped crustations. 

I'm not sure why today was the day, but I decided to find a recipe for fish tacos because we've had a bag of tilapia in the freezer for some time. We can't let it go to waste, especially in these times. Tilapia is one of my favorite white fish. 

So here we go. I would have loved to create this recipe on my own but why invent the wheel, right?

Fish Taco Sauce

Not my photo either. Rich loved the sauce, but a little too spicy for me. 

I liked making this recipe especially because it was out of my comfort zone and I knew my family would enjoy them. 

Seasoned fish. 

I've been trying to get my husband to read recipes online instead of him copying the recipe down on a random sheet of paper. I hope he can do this tomorrow. 

If you try this recipe let me know if you liked it or not. 

Lessoned Learned: 

I don't really have any. If you follow the recipe you will be good to go and if your family is a fan of fish tacos, they'll love this.

Crawl, Walk, Golf

A quilt or playmat for Harrison. He is a blessing to Krystin and Jason, friends of my son.  The fabric is much heavier than what I would've liked for this project, but a mat for Harrison to lay on and think "golf" might be okay. 

I have to give myself a  little credit for this next photo. I think this is the best mitered corner I've done. 

This is a bag to store toys, sensory balls, and other stuff for young Harrison. 

 

From my daughter: The self-binding flannel baby blankets below
are a cinch to make, although they do take a little time. 

 

She lives near Charleston, SC, and enjoys giving gifts from there especially if the receiver has visited there. 

I couldn't post this without giving kudos to my friend and quilt companion. She made this adorable bear quilt for Harrison, who I hope uses it and passes it down to his son if he has one in many, many years ahead. 

Lessons learned: 

1. Be mindful of the company I buy fabrics from.  

2. Work on figuring out a way to finish handles on a bag.

Baby Lovies for Twin Girls

Although not perfect, I really enjoyed making these lovies for my son's friends who had twin baby girls. 

I'm still in the learning stage when it comes to using my embroidery machine, but every project I make gets me closer and closer to making the best projects I can.

The flannel and cuddle fabrics below are what I chose to make the two lovies from. The Press and seal is a tip to keep the "fluffies" from floating all over my workspace and the house. 

The image below is a few steps into the embroidery of the bear face.

 

The completed lovies for the Roney twins. 

I hope Eva and Eloise love them as much as I loved making them for these twin cuties. 

I can't wait for the girls to hold their lovies in the near future. I hope they will send me a  picture of Eva and Eloise with their lovies.  

Lessons Learned: 

1. I never thought about using Glad  Press and Seal to keep the fly-away cuddle fluffs at bay. 

Thanks:
