My hubby has found a new hobby... Knifemaking. He watched my dad, the knifemaking savant, and has decided that it's his new "thing!" So...here are some pictures of his latest creations.
As you can see, most of them are made from Finnish Curly Birch, and antler. He did add some ivory on one for his friend Tom's dad, who hadn't ever owned anything ivory. He does an OK job with the sheaths, but they get better every try. (I'm rooting for him!)
If you want a custom knife, handmade with whatever your heart desires...just call Dean 442-2499! The knives cost anywhere between $60 and $200...depending of course on materials and sheath skins. (We have cow leather sheaths and nalauq sealskin sheaths, and regular seal skin sheaths, even these are hand made!)
On another note, New year's was mighty cold. Here is a picture of the three oldest kids in their parky's. Kaisa spent New Year's with her dad in Selawik. She had a blast...but I didn't get a picture of her in her parky! (Thanks for the photo Cathy, I stole it for their background!!! :))

I don't need a knife...but this cold weather has made me remember that I do need some muluks. I have a very vague recollection of going to watch the dog races with my mom and either you or Saima and wearing muklus. Anyway...I don't want these: http://www.muklukstore.com/entry.asp. Any idea where one might find some???
what the heck are those, those are NOT mukluks!! HAHA.
Maybe you could ask my mom to make you a pair, since I only make them for people who came out of my womb or are married to me! HAH.
