You may not reach a lot of the wannabes with your teachable moments, but I usre get a lot from them. Thanks.

Greetings,
I wondered if we could speak privately. I am so afraid I will write something that is unintentionally offensive and hurt someone or be seen as disrespectful. My mother instilled in me that you must never hurt anyone intentionally. My private email is [email protected]. Thikawoo

Just stopping by to say Hi!!

LOLz... come to think of it... nope. You have a good day too!

Good post! Can I go back to being foul, rude, and uncouth now?

HI OLC, I sent you a private message.
I hope you're well.

I went to my first powwow and I have to say I was geeking out a bit looking at the regalia; i.e. ooh there's lane stitch, that's applique, that's ribbonwork, etc. I also picked up a shank of really pretty beads (iridescent blue) from a trading post booth and some sinew...not sure I'm ready to work with it but it's not likely I can find it locally anywhere else!

Thank you for the suggestion; I will definitely be picking some Czech beads up then. My 3 year old has been admiring beadwork with me in books I found at the library, so I'm think some moccasins may be a good early project for me. And I can see what you mean about buckskin! Thanks again for even more help, I really do appreciate it! :)

I see what you mean about cheap supplies; I will definitely need nicer (more uniformly shaped) beads before attempting the lane stitch. :p
