Fresh Squeezed "B*Cheeky" Lemonade!!!

You can’t celebrate the 4th of July without a
Tall Thirst Quenching Glass of Lemonade!

Here’s what you need:

1 3/4 cups sugar
8 cups water
1 1/2 cups fresh lemon juice (7-8 lemons)

In a saucepan, combine sugar and 1 cup of water.
Bring to a boil, stir to dissolve sugar.
Remove from heat and cool to room temperature.
Cover saucepan and refrigerate until chilled.

Squeeze lemons (Juice & Pulp) in a large pitcher.
Remove seeds.
Stir together lemon juice, chilled syrup and the remaining 7 cups of water.

Serve over crushed ice…sit back and Relax!

**if you’re real Cheeky you can add a splash of chilled vodka

Monday....Monday....or, "Did You See That Sewing Machine Dangling From the Window?"

It’s Monday, and everyone is back to work, or at camp…or camped in front of their sewing machines, working.

I have to chuckle, because I am a crocheter, and have not forged that bond with my sewing machine, like so many of you have. Many late nights, when I've gotten the itch to sew, say, a simple pillow for my son, I would drag the ole Singer up from the basement, dust it off, and begin. But as I stepped on the foot pedal, the thread would break, the needle would get stuck, and the bobbin would fly across the room. And my patience? Out the window…along with my sewing machine. No, I do not have the knack for sewing.

But so many of you do! And I’m amazed by the talented designers in b*cheeky who manage to create relevant, funky and fun designs weekly, if not daily; and all the while, with flawless execution.

So this Monday, as I watch my Singer swingin' in the breeze, yet again, I salute all our fabulous "sew-ers":

And Away We Go...

School's....out....for.....summer!! So what's next for all of us designers (you know, besides entertaining our children from sun up t'il sun down, drowning in sunscreen and mediating sibling wars?) Gearing up for Back to School!!

It's that time of year- and watch out for our Back to School launch- coming July 13.

B*Cheeky Boutique is a group of designers, dedicated to quality fashions, fun designs, and a cheeky disposition. And the best part? We are expanding!! (and you can follow us on twitter too...www.twitter.com/bcheekyboutique)

You can look forward to daily posts, featuring the writings of several different designers from our team. They can blurb about whatever they want- favorite shops, trends, how annoying their husbands are on that particular day- whatever strikes their fancy.

I hope we can give a fresh perspective on the ins and outs of the boutique world, but I'll settle for some silly banter, and a game or two...

So we're up and running...and away we go!!
