Pronunciation
Adair: A (as in 'Ah') dair (as in 'dare').
: of (as in 'of')
: Makyswell (as in 'max') well (as in well)
Pronouns
she/her
Mistress Adair of Makyswell, OP joined the SCA on 12/10/2007 in the Kingdom of Trimaris, Shire of Sea Marsh. She currently lives in the Kingdom of Atlantia, Barony of Hawkwood, Canton of Stormwall and has been an active member for the past ten and a half years since her move from the Kingdom of Trimaris. She was instrumental in the development of the Canton of Stormwall which encompasses Western North Carolina, Sylva, Waynesville, Franklin, Cherokee, Murphy and many other counties and spent four tireless years in its development. Adair was belted as an Apprentice to Haelfdige(Mistress) Annora Hall and the contract was agreed upon and executed on 9/18/2019 at Sacred Stone Baronial Birthday- "Panem et Circenses" with much celebration and food. When asked why she did not look to a Needlework Laurel to apprentice to, her response was, Haelfdige (Mistress) Annora Hall is not only a skilled Needleworker but what better Laurel could one look to than a food Laurel. Food -glorious food. Her Laurel can make cheese like no one you have ever met. She also has the same dedication to the Society as Adair does as they are both committed to Service and to the Arts. They are a perfect blend.
Adair's passion is the art of Bead Embroidery and the art of the pearl, specifically in the Period of 1550 to 1690 and centrally located in the Country of England. In the mundane world she is well known as an Advanced Bead Embroiderer and her current love is reproducing historic representations of beaded garb and jewelry. Her newest love is Goldwork (metal thread embroidery), and silk thread Embroidery, and is currently learning to sew historical garments.
Adair's service to the Kingdom has been to serve as the First Needlework Deputy for the Kingdom MOAS, a Regional Exchequer(accountant) for Western North Carolina and Maryland and she has recently been elevated to a Great Officer as Kingdom of Atlantia Emergency Deputy to the Kingdom Exchequer. She was elevated to Peerage at the Kingdom of Atlantia, Twelfth Night in Yadkinsville as a member of the Order of the Pelican for her service to the Kingdom. She is a teacher and artisan and she currently serves as the Principal to the Order of the Pearl (Arts & Sciences Grant level). When not performing those duties, she is a bottle washer, Waterbearer, Gate, and currently a timid Illuminator.
Adair enjoys being a Exchequer, serving as Troll 1 for the Kingdom Gate, promoting the Arts and Sciences in the SCA and research, and she tends to find new rabbit holes at the turning of a corner. At events, you can always find her at the Gate or the Arts and Science displays!
In mundane life, she works as an accountant (imagine that). She is a consumate Bead Embroideror, Bead weaver and Chainmaille artist. She has worked for over twenty years in quilting to include stain-glass quilting and applique which gave her a wonderful experience in the technique for Bead Embroidery and Swabian applique ;-).
Adair was an Apprentice to Haelfdige Annora Hall (Kathy Alma). On 1/13/2024, she was elevated to the Order of the Pelican and swore fealty to the Crown. She reiterated that I will still keep and ongoing friendship through the Crown with Haelfdige Annora Hall while she seeks to obtain her Laurel. She is no longer an Apprentice but she is still in a relationship to further her track to Laurel.
On 9/7/2024, Adair took her first Protoge - Lord Edward Perry during Sacred Stone Baronial Birthday 2024 " The Phoenix and the Dragon" held in the Woodlands in Elchenburg Castle. We are looking forward to a wonderful future together.
Persona
Persona: Adair of Makyswell is the daughter of Robert Maxwell, Earl of Nithsdale and Lord in Dumphries, Scotland. Robert was made Earl of Nithsdale in 1620, when John Maxwell his brother was a part of the restoration of Mary Queen of Scots. It was common for their family to share their time between England and Scotland. It is common to see Adair in the tartans of Clan Maxwell. She was betrothed to James Johnstone which was broken when the Battle of Dryre Sands began. She was finally wed to the 2nd Son of John Douglas. Her duties were management of the household, preparation of feast, embroidery, weaving and healing. In today's times - Adair is a voting member in Clan Maxwell of the United States and attends to serve the Clan at the Grandfather Mountain Highland Games every July. She is also a McMahon, O'Guinn, Scott, Graham, Gunn and Stewart. ( Side note- when Adair requested the name of Adaira inghean Makyswell, it was deemed that Adaira was not appropriate as a given name even though she had seen this used in earlier history. On 7/1/2016 she was awarded the name of Adair which is also a small offshoot of the Maxwell Clan- Clan Adair). Adair enjoys traveling throughout the lands of Clan Maxwell and Douglas as well as visiting with her extended family over-seas which was required as her father was a Lord and devout Catholic. She enjoyed wearing the garments of the lands she visited so her likes will run from English, French, Italian and German with a easy use of Viking as her family does descend from the Danes.
The rest is ever evolving by a new venture into the Danes and Viking wear.

Research Interests
Glass Bead Construction Research and History As a member of the Society of Bead Researchers, a world wide organization of researchers dedicated to the history of the Bead, I am currently researching 14th Century pressed glass/crystal beads produced in Bavaria now the Czech Republic. After observing several portraits from the 14th Century and viewing "Bicones" pressed glass or crystal, I have been working and reviewing other research work from the period for portrait re-creation.

Beadweaving in the 14th and 15th Century Many are aware of my fascination with Aumoniere (Alms) bags, but a new fascination developed when I stumbled upon a Exhibit presentation at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, England. Right Angle Weave bags used to carry money in imaginative designs. I have one currently in development and looking forward to sharing this experience with Jen Funk Segrest the owner of Medieval Beads.com who recently purchased a 15th Century beadwoven bag from an auction in England. There were seveal of us present for the unveiling (opening) of the box on its arrival.
