[FluteMaker]

i think what i did will work out pretty well.....i got a cheapo barrett from rite aid that had some plastic thing on it and busted the plastic part off. and used the holes the plastic thing left to stitch it right to the backing of the bead work

I'm working on finishing a bunch of things. So far (since I got the cast off a month ago) - I made me a ribbon shirt. Finished assembling 1 of a pair of mocs with the 2nd almost done. I cut some gorgeous brocade fabric for a dress for Miika (with heart in mouth as I only had enough fabric to "do it right" the first time).

On the list is to make some new regalia for Miika's tank and sew that brocade dress (the fabric is reversible so I'm making it so any of the pieces can be reversed) before Nov 8 (GMU pw - Miika is in the color guard for the day session). Need to finish her other moc too!

I'm also going to try to fit in getting Tainee's dress cut, sewn and the applique work attached - as well as cutting and assembling her mocs (beadwork part is done so it should go quick enough).

Then maybe I can get back to working on the beadwork on that velvet I was working on for me!!

It took a couple of weeks to get the stiffness out of my hand from the cast, so I don't think I'm doing too badly.

Oh... and Flute dude... where's the pictures????

[FluteMaker]

I'm working on a hair barrette - almost done with the main body of the beading. I got this notion to use a leftover piece of material from my dress and fill in the design with beads to make a barrette for me. It's a brocade with a really pretty floral pattern to it. Kind of like a paint-by-numbers process. I don't always have the easiest go with dreaming up designs, so thought I'd try this. I'll post a pic when I'm done. I have trouble with the edge beading, but I saw a fancy dancer at the last powwow that had a barrette with edge sequin work, instead of just edge beadwork. I think I'm going to try that.

I'm still trying to finish up my niece's beaded earrings. She says the current ones are too small, but I think they're fine. OH well.... Then I'm going to work on her new crown and other accessories for her new set. It's going to be purple. I want to work on my daughter's, but I promised my niece she could have one before Gathering of next year, so I'm stuck with that project if I ever get to it.

[ac_miss]

I made that promise before I got this job, so it's tough having to work a full day and then go home to be with family.

[lilbigwoman]

I know how that feeling goes...Work, School, Beadwork, and somewhere in there...squeeze in ya family. Hardwork alone...

Finally finished this one. Hopefully, it'll help me set up my new Straight Dance Clothes. At any rate, I love making fans and this one will be a living reminder of the sunset we saw on August 25th 2007. Check out my gallery if your interested.
