Cocktail Hour Blog Hop!

When Amy at Copper Diem posted that she wanted to do a "Cocktail Hour" blog hop I knew this one was for me!  So I jumped at the chance.  I waited to find out what my cocktail would be........Champagne Cocktail!  I know Amy has read my blog and I wonder if she so remembers all of my Tipsy Beading posts.  I love me some Mimosa's.  And since you all know I have a love for orange you would think that would be the way I went huh?  Nope!  A very very sweet friend sent me some luscious cherry quartz stones and some spectacular sparkling seed beads that just begged to be made into Champagne deliciousness.  But what recipe?  I went searching and found this awesome site "Wineintro" dedicated to all the goodness of Wine recipes including a huge Champagne page!  This is the recipe I choose and I will totally be making it very soon!

"Perfect for a summer day, for a tropical vacation, or for anytime that you want to bring the bright fun of summer into your life!"
June Sparkle Champagne Cocktail

1/2 shot creme de fraise (strawberry liqueur)
1 shot pineapple juice
Champagne

So I began.  I have been playing with stitches a bit for a while so I thought I would just go with the flow of the needle.  I really think it works although as you can see this is not completed.  I actually ran out of the creamy beads I am using for bubbles!  I so want this necklace completed because I also think is goes perfectly with the "Blush" bracelet you also see in the photo.  I promise as soon as I am able to shop I will finish this!


Please check out everyone creations and get a hankerin for your favorite cocktail!
