Good for bonfires. Rumba Rue ** **

an' ye'll be moving where next? Rumba Rue **Living in paradise**

Found some shoes at the Thrift store that will suffice. shoes Can't beat $3.00 for them, and they are Italian made, dang heavy too. Rumba Rue **Life happens when you aren't looking**

Lookin' forward ta meetin' ye! Jest a wee note, I write better than I talk, I tend ta be a bit shy actually....well sometimes. Rumba Rue **Sail forth into the seas of time**

Thanks Pearl, but I think he wears a size 8. I'm meeting him today over at the local Thrift store to see if we can find something for him. If not, he's going to wear his dress shoes which though not quite correct, but darn close will do much better than those awful moccasins! BTW- Those pegs ye gave Boats are perfect! I think he'll be installing quite of few of them into poles on Friday for set-up at Tall Ships. Good, cuz I'm not bringing my wardrobe rack anymore for people to hang their stuff up on. It's starting to break due to the weight of some of the costumes! Rumba Rue ** **

Pretty cool stuff! I also checked out your Pirate Bethren site. Ye needs more women! Rumba Rue **Ladies of Tortuga Knitting and Keelhauling Society**

<GASP- was what came out of Boat's mouth> He discovered that by time the shipping charges (which were not shown)were tacked on he was looking at way over a hundred bucks! He said, 'NO WAY!' As I have said before, "If the shipping charges aren't shown on line, the companies can tack on whatever they want and you don't know it until it's almost too late! Never, but never buy from places like these, also, there was no indication that their site was 'secure' for credit card transactions - another red flag! Best bet, as in the case with that site, is call and find out first before ordering anything! Boats is going to check the Thrift stores. Rumba Rue **A very wary pirate**

Hey cool Morgan! Are ye goin' to try an' make it up ta' Tall Ships this weekend in Dana Point? Would love ta meet another poster from here! If'n ye do, jest ask fer me at the Encampment -if'n ye gots pirate garb, ye can come in as my guest. The event is FREE. Rumba Rue ** **

It's HERE! This coming weekend, Sept. 11 and 12th. Come one, come all to the BEST Tall Ships event on the west coast. I hope to see some o' ye fine people there! Rumba Rue ** **

Ya the dang moccasins have got to go! I'll show him the picture of the shoes when he gets home from work. I agree with you, they would be very good. Rumba Rue **Smile, you 're on pirate camera**

Total price on the sword with tax, was 141.00. I figure if I had bought that same sword on line for the sale price I did of 120.00, by the time the shipping charges were tacked on, I'd be paying damn close to 200 bucks. Funny thing, come to find out, a good friend of mine has one too! So we will be the sword gals out to fight deadly toothpicks. Here's a picture of the blade. Nothing but the usual slice and dicer, minus sharp edge. Rumba Rue ** **

Well here's my partner in crime's picture in the outfit. Boats, whose real name is Bill Bixby, is the dear soul I live with. Ah my good man Rumba Rue **You there go hoist something**

Ah my dearest Harbor Master, did you not stay till the end of the credits to see the monkey and his bit? If you did, you would know something was afoot. The monkey taking a coin away from the rest, makes the curse begin again. Yes you are correct, once shot and dead, one should remain so, but hey it's Disney, all things fantasy. Rumba Rue **Forget the yo ho ho, just gimme the bottle**

Congradulations! Kids look great when they are babies....and then they grow up....and you can't wait until they are old enough to get their own place. LOL! Rumba Rue ** **

Alas my dear Animal, I cannot afford the Florida trip, nor can I be gone for a week. I'm taking a week for Canada (leaving Sept. 20 and coming back the 27), and that pretty much ends the spending money I currently have. But hey, you never know, I might win the lottery! Rumba Rue **Practic random acts of mayhem and senseless acts of piracy**

Well I went to Jo Ann's Fabrics and got the correct Jack Sparrow coat pattern and it only cost me 1.00 ! I thought the gal at the register had rung it up wrong, but she checked and said no. Well now that's one hell of a deal. Rumba Rue ** **

Nope that's not what I have, but by the teeth of the shark I shall track it down today! Rumba Rue **Plunderin' is good for the soul**

Well I swore I'd never wear a sword, but on Friday while visiting a friend, we traversed the Tyler Mall in Riverside, and came across one I had to have. I swear it 'called' to me. Found it at the Tinderbox store. It's a bit heavy, certainly not for fighting, as the tang doesn't go into the handle very far, nor does it have an 'edge'(geez if it did, I'd be the first one to get hurt with it!). I think the only thing it could fight against would be small wooden toothpicks! LOL! It's strictly for looks (I don't do fighting anyway), but I saw it and just fell in love with it. Bit pricey, well over a hundred bucks, it's made in Spain. I love the hilt and the scabbard, but the scabbard is not real leather. Here's a link to see it: Sword Rumba Rue **Plunderin' is good for the soul**

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I think you got the message. Rumba Rue

Here's a picture of the back of the coat after adjustments. I understand about how triangular peices would be inserted to make the bottom flare. I honestly didn't know there was a pattern labeled Jack Sparrow, pirate coat. I saw the Butterick pattern and assumed it was the one you were all talking about, that's why I got it. Well f**k me! Oh well, at least the pulling together of the back did the trick and actually it looks better now on than before. I'm working on a shirt for Boats to wear. As soon as it's done I want him to put the whole costume on and I'll take a picture or two and post it here. Rumba Rue **Hey I'm blond, I can walk into any wall**

I'm not sure, but I think Robert meant not replace Jack or Barbossa, but to move on away from Barbossa, Will and Elizabeth. Their part for right now at least for movie 2, should not be as forefront, as to going elsewhere and introducing new characters in another port. Then should Will's father actually still be alive, that character could be found in movie 2, and then re-united in movie 3 with the characters of Barbossa, Will and Elizabeth. Rumba Rue **Peering into her tarot cards**

Arrrgghhhh! No wonder, it's not that pattern! Duh me, mine's a Butterick pattern. Oh well, I've reworked the back, and it looks much better now. I took pictures, but for some reason after an hour of trying to upload two pictures to Village photos site, I gave up. So at some point I will try and get the pictures here. Rumba Rue **Not sew happy**

I swear, my pattern doesn't have 3 triangular pieces! I had to buy the largest size pattern there was, so maybe it is different from yours! Oh poop! Well I'm going to go ahead and fiddle with the back and it should work. When I'm done, I'll take a picture of the back and see what you all think. Rumba Rue **I had a mind once....**

I did use that pattern. I didn't see any gores. So I'm going to get a bit creative. Well last night I had Boats put it back on, what I'm going to do is pull the material just a bit on each side of the back seam a bit, sort of like this )( and that will create my form fitting look I wanted. See I told you I can't read patterns! Rumba Rue ** **
