WELL! After weeks of staring fruitlessly at all this stuff laid out on my table I finally started sewing something here and something there and VOILA! I am finally done. (except for the real coins that are still being shipped sometime this week) I tacked on some simple shimmy belt coins to see how it would look. I am really happy with the results. I will try to get a picture soon of me wearing it.

It has been awhile since I have been on Tribe. It seems every time I tried to log on... read more

Well, here we all are together, sitting, but not all smiling at once. Is it possible to get a 4 year old and a 1.5 year old to smile together? Maybe my expectations are too high. Actually I love our new family pixs. I was amazed that we were able to get as many as we did. The thing most of you don't realize is that Kurty is sitting on my knee in order to cover up the mud streak he gave me as we got in the car on the way to our photo appointment.

Coaster pinochle.

My family are card players. Pinochle. We love a good game of pinochle. Pinochle is inexplicable to those who don’t play cards, let me just say that there is bidding, trump and meld. The deck has only aces, 10s, kings, queens, jacks and 9s, their value in that order. Anyway, my three year old , Sophie, has listened to us play quite often. One morning as I was clearing away glasses and napkins from the previous evenings card game Sophie picked up the deck and started ... read more
