Time to finally introduce myself, I guess! I& #39;m Lisa, normally on here as @BeadSpiller. I& #39;ve hosted here before, so hi again. I& #39;m the one who started this account and schedules all the hosts.
I& #39;m Métis from Prince Albert, SK, family from the Tourond& #39;s Coulee/Batoche area, and from the Red River Settlement before that. I& #39;m in Calgary now. I& #39;m nonbinary, and I have a wife and a 2 year old.
I make and sell baby clothes, and more recently some stuff for adults, at http://evercute.ca"> http://evercute.ca . You can follow on here @evrcute
I actually haven& #39;t done much beading lately! The last thing I finished is this cuff. It& #39;s inspired by a place in Saskatchewan where my family used to pick hazelnuts and Saskatoons, where I pick them still if I& #39;m there at the right time, located at [redacted].
I& #39;m working on the second cuff of this pair. I want to make it into a whole set, with a belt buckle and bolo tie. I& #39;ll make the bolo tie over the next week so I have something new to show you.
Here& #39;s a belt buckle I made earlier this year https://twitter.com/BeadSpiller/status/1219652566880903169?s=19">https://twitter.com/BeadSpill...
Here& #39;s a recent non-bead project - a fishing game for my kid. I do woodworking, though not much anymore. https://twitter.com/BeadSpiller/status/1260560872067350529?s=19">https://twitter.com/BeadSpill...
Here& #39;s another wood thing I did recently https://twitter.com/BeadSpiller/status/1265083066298466304?s=19">https://twitter.com/BeadSpill...
So, I haven& #39;t been beading lately, because I& #39;ve been doing sewing and woodworking. These are some neckerchiefs (sold out, but soon to be restocked!) that I still on my website, with a Metis sash inspired pattern, and with a beadwork print. https://twitter.com/evrcute/status/1261284285526335488?s=19">https://twitter.com/evrcute/s...
And I& #39;ve been making masks, of course. I& #39;m not selling them, just making them for my family. This one is too big for me, it was hard to get a good picture.
For a while I was doing them with fun prints, but now I& #39;m not bothering with that. I just want to make sure we have enough clean ones when we go out.
I also made some pants kinda recently, with the same sash-inspired pattern as the neckerchiefs up there https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="☝🏼" title="Up pointing index (medium light skin tone)" aria-label="Emoji: Up pointing index (medium light skin tone)">. https://twitter.com/BeadSpiller/status/1250823276034535424?s=19">https://twitter.com/BeadSpill...
Another thing I& #39;m doing recently is a shirt print made with a scan of the beaded cuff from earlier in this thread. I& #39;ll be selling these pretty soon @evrcute.
So sorry to dump all this non-bead stuff on here, I hope you don& #39;t mind. A weird thing about having multiple creative outlets is I always feel like I& #39;m slacking off, even if I& #39;m constantly making stuff. If I& #39;m making a wood thing, I feel bad that I don& #39;t have time to bead.
My attention span is... not the best. I get very easily distracted by new ideas. I& #39;ve had that second cuff going for months. I& #39;ve started and finished (and not finished) multiple new projects in the meantime, but then feel guilty about all the half-finished things.
