Champagne Cocktails For Your Wedding

by

Champagne is one of those drinks that simply means “Celebration”, Of course this is not it’s literal translation. Champagne is named after an area in France where the first Champagne was created. Champagne ,in France used to a sea bed and it’s believed these rich minerals are what makes the wine so special. That is of course if you are drinking Champagne from actual Champagne otherwise you’re actual just drinking sparkling wine. But don’t fret, it’s the same thing just a different (cheaper) name.

We have treated you to this top 10 roundup of Champagne spritzers or Cocktails for your Wedding or party. The best thing about Champagne cocktails is that the use less champagne which means you can afford to have the drinks “flowing” as they say.  It cuts down your costs, whilst allowing your guests to enjoy a glass of bubbles. I have to say my favorite is the candy floss cocktail but that one is pure champagne with just the decoration on top, it’s easy to do though but not cheaper.

Did you know Marilyn Monroe took a bath in champagne? It took 350 bottles to fill up the tub.

Do You Park Your Cross Stitch Thread? Try The Royal Roads Method

I have not done a lot of big cross stitch projects, but sometimes even with small projects it can be hard to decide exactly where to begin and how to work through the chart if you’re working with multiple colors. The general categories for the possible methods are known as cross country and parking. 

Cross country means that you’re working one color at a time, moving around the chart (or the section of the chart you’re working on) until you’re done with that color. Parking means you’re working in a smaller section and doing all the colors in that area, “parking” the threads by leaving them attached to the canvas but out of the way while you finish each section. 

Royal Rows is a specific way of parking named by Alison Royal, which is explored in detail on a post on Stitching Daily. 

The idea is that you’re working one “tower” of stitches at a time (she uses a section of 10 stitches across by 20 down, but you can do whatever makes sense to you). You work all the stitches of a color at a time, starting at the top left and working your way down. When you’re done with a color you can park it where needed in the section below your current tower (known as the dungeon) or in the “east tower,” which is the section to the right. 

There’s also a specific way of dealing with thread ends when you’re done with a color. This is a super simplified version (head to the blog post at Stitching Daily to get all the details) but the basic idea is that you’re working from left to right and top to bottom across the work, parking the threads in the next section when you’re done with them and systematically choosing which color to work with next. 

The whole idea of parking is kind of overwhelming to me though I will admit that it makes a lot of sense. I guess I need to try it on a smallish big project and see how it goes. Do you use the parking method of cross stitch? I’d love to hear about it!
