3-day weekend! Yay 🙂 Okay, here are the promised two chapters, since I’m in a good mood, it’s Friday, and it’s also a 3-day weekend and who doesn’t love those? I didn’t look these over, since my brain is fully engulfed in Ether right now – and I’m going to beat Pete and Tori in…

She Shoots, she scores!
Okay, I admit, when I checked the mail tonight and pulled the two credit reports out – then carried them into the house – I was too scared to open them myself. So I waited until my sister got home, and made HER open them up. Turns out — We’re golden ! 😀 Both of…

Okay, so yesterday I found myself with some time to kill, and I happen to have this novel what needs writin’, so I sits myself down in Starbucks with a double tall soy latte, my beautiful 5-subject notebook and lovely pen – and figured I’d get happy for an hour. I mean write. That’s what…

Public Service announcement update

Okay kittens, we’re officially at the halfway mark, for those of you keeping score. I’m not going to hide behind my Woobie today, since I didn’t even look this chapter over when I was cuting and pasting for the page. Y’all know the score by now, and y’all know I’ve GOT to be a way…
Chainmaille as Modern Armor: Why We Wear What Makes Us Feel Strong
There’s a reason we reach for certain pieces when we need to feel grounded, brave, or a little more ourselves. Jewelry has always been more than decoration. It’s a signal, a story, a shield. And for many of us, Chainmaille is the closest thing we have to modern armor. We don’t expect battle, but we…
Bold is Beautiful. Wearing a Statement Necklace with Ease.
This Byzantine chainmaille necklace—three lush shades of green, held together with larger silver rings—might seem bold at first glance. It’s intricate, significant, unapologetically present. And yet, on her, it doesn’t overwhelm. It enhances. There’s a quiet confidence in choosing a piece that others might call “too big.” But what does that even mean? Too bold…
Chainmaille in the Steampunk World
We’ve been told more than once that “chainmaille has no place in the Steampunk realm.” That line usually comes right after Steampunk cosplayers encourage us to apply. They love our work. It comes right before the event organizers reject us. We’ve heard similar things from Renaissance Fairs, too. Our colors aren’t “period enough,” our booth…
