Sometimes in these days of computers, video consoles, electronic robots and other expensive toys we forget that a simple pack of cards (or two) can provide hours of fun. Cards are inexpensive, easily portable and endlessly adaptable. Families can enjoy a game together, kids can play in groups on their own, and a solitary child can while away the hours playing solitaire games or building card houses. Please browse our suggestions of card games for kids below...

I don't know about all of you, but I am SOOOO excited that today time fell back! It was nice sleeping a little extra and seeing the sun before 7:30 a.m. I know it sounds silly, but I hate driving to school in the dark, so sunlight at 6:20 meant that I shouldn't be driving to school in the dark for at least a little while. In other news, I discovered a mistake on my fairy tale test. I know I'm far from perfect, but I hate when I find a mistake after I've posted it for free. Actually, I didn't even find it. One of my teammates found it. So, below, I have reposted it. This test should include 10 questions. Some how on the first one I overlooked doing a question number 4. Revised Fairy Tale Test Now, the best part of today is I have something new to post. Oh, and since you follow me here, I'm going to give you one page as a freebie :) Click here to get my freebie page. I finally finished my 3 Little Pigs unit. I have some pictures posted on my TPT site, but I'm going to post several more pictures here that I didn't post there. If you like it click here and it will take you straight to my TPT site to purchase it. I made it similar to the Red Riding Hood packet, but I also tried to throw in some different items that weren't included in that packet. This way, you can mix and match the two packets if you want. I'm going to hopefully start working on another one this week. I am off to make 3 Little Pig costumes for tomorrow and write lesson plans! I can't wait to show you guys what I come up with. Hopefully, it won't take too long to piece the costumes together. The good news is I know I will be up late regardless. Sad, I know, but I have to watch my Atlanta Falcons. I mean, they are undefeated and football is the perfect background noise for me to work :) Have a fantabulous Monday!

Brenda and her mom have finished the top they made from a ditsy floral pattern I showed last year. I'd seen a kit in an online auction and showed it when I was discussing ditsies---vague florals of basic shapes. The pattern was easy to draft (that's the great thing about ditsies-there's nothing to them) and they made it in hand-dyed fabrics with various black batiks for backgrounds. A very modern looking quilt in the color scheme and in the simplicity of the floral. You can follow her progress at her Scraps And Strings blog: http://scrapsandstrings.blogspot.com/2011/01/its-quilt.html A hundred years ago these simple florals (textile designers now call them ditsy prints) were a keynote in modern design. Artist Mela Koehler often featured simple florals in her illustrations of fashionable women. Here's a modern floral on a period costume in a postcard from about 1910. My favorite Mela Koehler illustration. Two dachshunds and a rainstorm Melanie Leopoldina Köhler-Broman was born in Vienna, Austria on November 1885. As an art student in Vienna between 1905 and 1910 she was a student of Kolomon Moser, one of the stars of the Vienna Workshop movement (the Wiener Werkstätte.) Her illustrations of fashionable women and children became popular postcards and fashion designs. She was interested in textile designs, as you can see in her postcard illustrations, and also designed prints for the Workshop. She died in Stockholm on December 15, 1960. Translation of the German ö in her name causes numerous spellings of Köhler. She signed most of her postcards Mela Koehler but some have her married name Mela Koehler Broman. Another spelling is Koeler. She also signed some Mela Koehler Wien, which means Mela Koehler Vienna. She often included dogs with her fashionable women. Same storm, different pet. And here's a little eccentricity from Vienna before World War I, Taking your pet pig out for a glass of champagne. Original Mela Koehler postcards in good condition are worth over $100. I'm keeping my eye out at the flea market. Oh, we were talking about ditsies weren't we. Read more about them in this post that inspired Brenda. http://barbarabrackman.blogspot.com/2010/02/modern-quilts-style-change-and-ditsies.html

I'm fascinated by early photography but not the "Look! A landscape!" photos or stiffly posed people, I like a little WTF to make it sassy. Since Halloween is about as messed up as you can get and not be arrested, I've combined the two with my favorite pics from the late 19th century - early 20th century. And a charming selection of WTFery. Update: I've added even more WTFery!
