Hooray!!
She came bearing gifts.....like having her home isn't enough - lol
These 3 beautiful batiks came from Bali
This incredibly delicious cocktail from New Zealand
recipe to follow I promise
But seeing her sewing......tops it for me.
It's nice to know you have been able to pass on some of your skills to the next generation and although Sule'
was not particularly interested in sewing as a child when a project came up that she could help on she jumped right in:)
In the North woods of Wisconsin Water skiing shows and clubs are a standard part of the summer fun. When one of our local clubs The ChainSkimmers needed help with the show Sule' offered her services designing some quick and easy western can can girl costumes for the "jazz line"
She created these from some pre-existing cami's that the girls had used in previous years adding the ribbon to create a corset look .
Throw on a sparkly red skirt over some black tights and you are ready to water ski.
or in my case go to bed because......with her busy schedule we did not start sewing until 9pm, not that I was doing the sewing...well creating an easy skirt pattern and providing some basic instructions maybe....but the machine time was all her!
Cute right?
If you live in the area I highly recommend you see the show this year. It's especially fun for the kids.
and if not......enjoy the cocktail:)
St. Germain Aromatic Elixir Recipe:
Muddle 5 Red seedless grapes in a glass
Add crushed ice
Add 1 shot of fresh lemon juice
1 shot of gin
1 shot of St Germain Elderflower Liqueur
Fill the glass with sparkling water
Throw in a splash of cranberry or grape juice - this is optional as it just adds the pretty color
Place a small mint sprig between your hands and clap them together - this releases the minty aroma - now garnish the glass with it.
Let me know your thoughts on this cocktail friends
Have you ever participated in a water-ski show....local theater perhaps?
