OOh sounds nice. I wish I new how to bead. Great colors.

How hard is it to learn to bead?

I have a small bead loom, but I don't really know how to use it lol. I'm tried thou.

i don't think i will ever get done with my first one. i always find someway to improve my outfit. so it takes a while to do that. then i find something else. one day my one outfit will have so many combinations. it will be a whole new outfit...without me knowing it. heh, yeah, and lack of imagination.

oufits

I try to do 2 outfits per year. This past year, I didn't get to do any new ones because I was sewing 3 other outfits, 1 grass and 2 little girls fancy shawl. Hopefully, I'll get to the one I've been planing soon.

my thoughts exactly..God Bless the machine that CUTS the beads for my new beadwork, slowly but surely..new beadwork should be done by August, I HOPE!! :) I hope to do some sewing for Denver, wishing I had a new fancy shawl set done by then, new skirt and shawl...hmmm, not enough hours in the day...too much homework!!

I usually....

I usually get one every two years. right now i am working on one. i haven't got a new one in awhile because i was taking a chance on keeping my old one going for along time. the one that i am working on right now is the material that my late grandmother bought me a year and a have ago. she died on october 27, 2002. and she wanted me to dance in those colours so i started to work on it again. I have alot of designs down on paper for new fancy and jingle dress and i hope to get a 1/4 of those made this summer, a 1/4 of it made this fall and a 1/4 of it made in the winter. by that time i should have about 20 fancy dance regailias made and 10 jingle dresses made. i am slowly learning how to sew right now and it is pretty cool. :) which i think is pretty good. I think that i will surprise alot of people from BC because i always keep on putting new designs on my two dresses that i have right now and i think that they will be happy with me and a new dress. :)

Since I'm making them for the kids, I usually make them one a year, because they grow like weeds.
I'm glad to read that y'all are making them at about this rate. I know this is goofy, but I was afraid that it would appear I was spoiling my nieces and nephews by making them a new outfit every year. I mean, I totally enjoy doing it, and it's an expression of my love for them, but I just didn't know how it appeared.
So, I just finished my nephew's new grass dance outfit (and he's so darned cute in it) and now I'm on to my niece's shawl outfit. She's chosen the color this time- purple, red, blue, and white- and I get to chose the design...something that I can acheive with my beginner's sewing skills.
