I used the E&E bubble pocket shorts pattern. Added eyelets ruffles to the pockets and also added matching girlie suspenders.

This is an old one.. I was at the port when this little girl started blowing bubbles with an electronic bubble machine, she was having fun and so was I :)
So... I've developed an obsession with the reflections in bubbles (bubbles in general in fact). Thinking of doing a little series... There's something magical about a solo, whimsical bubble, just floating through the landscape
The Bubble Nebula or Caldwell 11, is an H II region emission nebula in the constellation Cassiopeia. It lies close to the direction of the open cluster Messier 52. The "bubble" is created by the stellar wind from a massive hot, 8.7 magnitude young central star, SAO 20575 (BD+60°2522). The nebula is near a giant molecular cloud which contains the expansion of the bubble nebula while itself being excited by the hot central star, causing it to glow.

I've had bubble "tea" a few times, but I never really paid attention to how they were made. I recently made a point to pay closer attention, and I decided that it looked like something I could make at home. The worker I observed added fresh fruit, evaporated milk, ice, and a dark syrup, blended it, and poured it over black tapioca pearls.
I found the tapioca and large bubble tea straws at an Asian grocery store (both were under a buck). I learned that the dark syrup is actually just a simple syrup made with half brown sugar.
Here is how I made mine (I did this by weight; I have included my guess at the volume measures):
500 grams fresh mango (about 2 1/2 cups)
200 grams evaporated milk (about 2/3 cup)
200 grams syrup (about 2/3 cup--to taste, based on the sweetness of the fruit)
I blended these ingredients together. The mixture tasted so good that I decided I didn't want to dilute it with ice, so I poured in into my ice cream maker, and froze it until it was the texture of a milkshake. If you have a good blender, this could also be made with ice.
Finally, I poured it over about 1/4 to 1/3 cup of tapioca pearls, stirred, and served.
Syrup
1 cup water
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
Bring to a boil, turn off heat, and cover until cool.
Tapioca Pearls
I read that you should have a minimum ratio of 7:1 water to tapioca. My package said 10:1, so I went with that. I brought 16 cups of water to a boil and added the tapioca. When they floated, I covered the pot, reduced the heat to medium and cooked for 5 minutes. Then I drained the tapioca, stirred them with a bit of syrup to keep them from sticking, and chilled them for later. I think these have the best texture at room temperature, so I set them out a little bit before making the drink.
I think the tapioca I purchased must have been parboiled. Some of the other types have to be cooked for 20 to 40 minutes.
Explored!
Someone had a bubble machine at the farmer's market today - what fun! Brought Hinu to her first market up on the square - she's usually with her papa on Saturdays. Had technicolor popcorn, jerky, a rice ball, and a smoothie. Bought a half pound of asparagus. Hmmm, something is not quite right here. ;)
{Project 365 - Day 67}
Everyone knows, that the money does not grow in the meadow
and you can't eat it but it would burn well.
But we heat the wheat and beet and corn.
If we continue to heat that way, the hat is burning.
Jeder weiß, dass das Geld nicht auf der Wiese wächst
und essen kann man es auch nicht, aber brennen würde es gut.
Aber wir heizen den Weizen und die Rüben und den Mais.
Wenn wir weiter so heizen, brennt der Hut

This was taken yesterday morning when my grandson came over to say goodbye, as he and his mummy are off the the States for a few weeks. Sad me. I gave him some bubbles and got out the camera, naturally. But then I gave him lots of kisses goodbye. Just had a text to say they've arrived in West Virginia to stay with his MawMaw and PawPaw. I'll miss them so much!

This is what happens when mom gets a phone call and leaves the bathroom for 2 minutes... took me an hour to clean up the mess, but they had the greatest time of their life...
And if you are wondering... she did not mind the soap on her eyes... she loved it!
A possible Take A Class With Dave and Dave submission for Week 20, Assignment 2.
Spheres - This one is going to be difficult. It probably won't be too hard to find something spherical to photograph, but your job is to somehow make it interesting. No points for cleverness...the thing you photograph should actually LOOK like a sphere in the photo (i.e. don't shoot the ground and say the Earth is a sphere; don't shoot the sun or the moon which look like circles). Also, no eyeballs.
I took Savanah out today to get some shots of bubbles for my Sphere assignment. Not sure if I'm going to go with bubbles for spheres but they were my first thought when I read the assignment, plus, she loves bubbles and we have such fun with them.
