Space Needle Restaurant

In the first PART of our review we gave some tips now time for the testy part.
My husband ordered the crab cakes for an appetizer….Damn they were good, got two and could have eaten a hundred! At the same time he got me a mudslide that was a dessert to start the meal, that man does not care about my hips! My husband ordered the Smashed Rye for his drink, let me tell you I liked his drink more and boy howdy it had some kick!
Of course there was bread, but let me tell you the flavored butters they came with were fantastic.

For our meal he ordered me fresh from the sound Salmon with asparagus and fingerling potatoes, while he made a scene in the restaurant by getting the whole fried Rockfish for himself, with wasabi mashed potatoes and lemon spinach.



My husband had lunch at the needle 20 years ago and was not impressed, this night was completely different, we both looked at the bill for $200.00 at the end of the evening and felt it was more than fair. Our waiter Fabio was from Brazil and was fantastic, welcoming and entertaining while always on top of it all! The food kicked booty and we walked away full and with a killer set of flavors in our mouths!



We capped the night off with local berry made iced teas, (yes the alcohol kind) and we split a warm chocolate drizzle cake with vanilla ice cream. The only hard part of the night was that it had to end. Kudos to the staff at the Space Needle for providing such an opportunity, take advantage of it yourself!

Little Diva - children jewelry

Welcome back to my readers. The other day there was finally a bit of sunshine here in Seattle and my daughter Alexcia (5 years old) was digging through my gemstones trying to take part in a new creation. Then she stopped and said, “I wish I had a beautiful necklace and bracelet”. So I thought why not? When she was 2-3 years old I was trying to make her some bracelets, but you know (if you’ve got baby girl)… we all want to put pretty and shiny things on them since the day they were born. However the truth is that usually most items ended up broken or thrown out of the stroller. Now that she turned five, she wanted jewelry and pretty things for herself. Good for her and for me, because now I know she will not ruin her new jewelry.
After I made a couple of sets, the fun parts began; she was modeling her new treasures. With great weather that day and the new jewelry made especially for her, it set the perfect mood for some photo shots and the results were just awesome.
“Little divas”, became the name of the new jewelry line for the cutest of girls. The whole idea was to make the same quality and design ideas like I make for adults. This meant using natural stones and pearls set in sterling silver or gold filled settings.
Now I need your help as my potential buyers:

• Kids jewelry do you think it is a good idea? Yes or No
• Natural materials or synthetics, which do you want to see on your children?
• Will your daughter wear jewelry, just like mommy?
• What do you think a good price range for high quality items for girls should be?

I made it Macrame hemp neckalce

Old style but new look

Macrame is one of the world’s oldest crafts which continue to survive in different mediums throughout the years. Most popular are plant hangers, how else can such a variety of pot hangers be made to create so many different looks from only a few inexpensive materials. I remember back in the 80-90^th Macrame Curtains were also popular and I was the one of those who could make it. One of my latest creation black hemp necklace with moonstone pendant. By using only 2 knots you might create something like this. In this necklace I used Chinese crown knot and double half hitch knots The hardest knot is Chinese one, but after couple hours of practice and most important potions you will get there and believe me you will be proud of yourself. So here are examples of these 2 knots. Try and you’ll find it interesting!
