Right now, Iβm home alone for the next 10 days.
Why? Because Kelli is off on an amazing adventure, cruising the rivers of France! π«π·π’
She was invited on a FAM trip with her travel agency, and I couldn't be more excited for her (and maybe just a tiny bit jealous).
While sheβs off sipping wine and soaking up French culture, Iβve challenged myself to stay productive and knock out some big projects for PowWows.com. No distractionsβ¦ unless you count my never-ending snack runs.
β Donβt forget our giveaway is almost over!β There are just a few days left to enter for your chance to win some awesome travel gear from Pendleton.
π₯ Missed our live stream this weekend?β We had a great time streaming the Fort Totten Pow Wow! If you missed it (or just want to relive the dancing, drumming, and energy), you can catch the replay on our YouTube channel:
Iβve got more fun things coming your way while Iβm βhome alone,β so keep an eye out. And if youβve got any suggestions on how I should spend my solo time (besides work), Iβm all ears!
If you're interested in Native American beadwork or traditional craft techniques, you're going to love this video from Chris Bullock, owner of The Wandering Bull. In this detailed how-to, Chris walks you through the Lazy Stitch technique, a classic style of beadwork used by many Plains tribes.
A Family Legacy, 50 Years in the Making
Chris opens the video with a bit of personal history. His father started The Wandering Bull over 50 years ago, and the family has been involved with Pow Wows and Native crafts ever since. The passion clearly runs deep β the vest Chris wears in the video was a gift from his son, crafted with Lazy Stitch beadwork.
