I ve choosed ot quickly because I don't really see what else to do here, and if I m trying to figure out it will take much much more time. Of course it's better to attck queen to prevent pawn loss, but h6 move seems like more available and quuen attacking may lead for her just to retreat and what to do next need to be calculated again

8...h6 left your e6-bishop with two attackers and one defender. 8...Bd7 or 8...Bc8 would have been better.
