Mother's Day Pow Wow ~ Dade City 2006

This Pow Wow was great, as always. I didnt take many pictures, as I was very busy with visitors. This turned out to be quite the family reunion. We made several new friends also. This is a picture of Grandfather Mingo and his brother. Grandfather traded me for a choker that I had made, I was very honored that he chose something that I had made. I appologize, but I did not get the name of his brother, who is a wonderful man.

I will be working very hard this weekend on re-opening the eBay store. I have some new listings of product and I need to start putting the fall pow wow's on the Yahoo calendar. I have been peyote stitch beading anything that is standing still. There will be some nice beaded feathers coming up in the store, and I have one in particular that I am going to auction off for the St. Joseph's Lakota School. We donated quite a bit of money in Cherokee, when we visited, so I need to raise some extra cash for the Lakota School.

On the trip to Kentucky, it had come to me (from a little Grandpa) to make Bola Ties. If anyone has any ideas for how I should make them, please feel free to let me know. I am assuming this is why i have been on a peyote stitch kick.

Much Love & Prayers

Olive Hill, Kentucky Pow Wow 2006

Greetings All

We returned from our journey on friday night - The Olive Hill Kentucky Pow Wow was wonderful - There were 5 drums, and they recorded a session on saturday to have cd's for sale on sunday - Kentucky was very beautiful and the locals were very nice - We met many new friends, and I would Highly Recommend this Pow Wow to anyone who is in the area at the time - If you look at my photo's you will see the Olive Hill folder - They had gotten my husband and I to participate in the broom dance, and we got to see the switch dance for the first time - After the Pow Wow was over we travelled to Cherokee to spend our vacation time there - We usually go in the winter, so it was a very special treat going in the spring - There were flowers everywhere and we met more wonderful people - We toured the museum, hiked in the woods, and played Tribal Bingo - and I won $100 Yea! Of course most of it got donated back to the museum gift shop

Next up is the Mother's Day Pow Wow in Dade City Florida this weekend, most of the family will be coming either saturday or sunday - this is always a great Pow Wow, so anyone in the area, come on out and Pow Wow with us!

Travel Well Y'all

Entry for April 24, 2006

Hello - I am packing up to go on a big road trip, so the ebay shop is closed until after the Mothers Day Pow Wow.  We are leaving to set up at a Pow Wow in Kentucky next weekend, then we will travel a bit through West Virginia and down to Cherokee to camp and hike before returning home.  When we get home, the following week is the Mother's Day Pow Wow in Dade City that we will be going to.  So, I probably will not be on until after that.  You can get information on these pow wows at:

Everyone Travel Well

Talk to you soon

Little Wolf

I would like to announce the adoption of a little girl into our family.  Little White Wolf is 2 years old, and an American Eskimo (small breed).  She has been through a lot, but she is Home now.  Our Chow mix, Little Bear, has been a great big brother thus far.  We had given them both a treat, and Little Wolf took hers out in the back yard and buried it.  I had never seen a dog do this before, she must have been mistreated  It's OK though, she is part of a loving family now.

Thundering Spirit Pow Wow 2006

Thundering Spirit Pow Wow was awesome! Anyone who can plan to come next year will not be disappointed, there are no politics but plenty of spirituality. The picture above depicts Painted Spirit gifting a spear he had made to Ne-Me Wind Dancer. There were Hawks and Eagles flying over head throughout the weekend. Children's Day yeilded 3 more bus loads of kids than had been expected. More pictures are in my Yahoo Photo's. Thank you to all who came out to meet us and see the shop first hand, this was also the year anniversary of my shop out in public. Take a look at the online shop on eBay ~ Six Directions Traders. I am working to restock the shop now.
