Asian influence

Worked a short day, so came home to get a little more sewing done. Got distracted, playing with my little orchid. It's beautiful today. No Rain! So we are going to blow bubbles outside first ..... then fix lunch, something light, maybe a bowl of Pho. I learned to enjoy it in Ho Chi Minh City, but not real big on other traditional dishes there. If it was seafood, it always starred back or tried to crawl off my plate. Although the cucumbers were the best I've ever tasted..never bitter. Had a lot of fun with this material. Loved the children dancing with the lanterns in purple. Old Navy size 3T And I thought the green tassles set off the applique shaped lantern. The soft green print ruffle on the legs gives it the little girl feel, trimmed in a shiny purple ric rac.

The yellow background really sets off this Arizona size 5 Jumper. The children are celebrating with a dragon dance and musical instuments all around the tail of the jumper. The embroidered fan gives it the true asian influence with the golden tassle dangling as she moves. The frayed cut out blue lantern heart placed on the bodice is that loving touch.
