My Word Is

Here is a little bit of fun, I found the link over at Periwinkle Studio check her site out.

Your Word is "Peace"

You see life as precious, and you wish everyone was safe, happy, and taken care of. Social justice, human rights, and peace for all nations are all important to you. While you can't stop war, you try to be as calm and compassionate as possible in your everyday life. You promote harmony and cooperation. You're always willing to meet someone a little more than halfway.

What's Your Word?

Have Fun

My Favicon!

Look Up! Way Up.... in your browser tab.
Yeahhh, I have been working at uploading a favicon for my website and for my blog for a few days now. I had no problem uploading and installing my favicon to my website as the image is hosted on my ftp site. When it came to my blog, different story, I could not figure it out! I read and tried but with no luck. So with the help of peoples experiences, or one person in particular, I finally got it to work. Blogger Book is the site that helped me get my favicon installed, what an excellent site for bloggers information and tips. I had to also visit here for the fix. I had to move the favicon code positions, which is shown in the fix. What fun and frustration learning new things can be.

Until Next Time

The Art Of Chain Maille Part 3

These are a few of the sites I found with a lot of links to information on patterns or the different weaves. Some of the sites are for our reading and viewing pleasure, others are for shopping. I hope you visit them and enjoy.

M.A.I.L
Maille Artisans International League Is a great start to a world of information. There is information on the different weaves, message board, gallery, lots of links and so much other info.

Patterns and Tutorials
There are so many different patterns and weave types in this collection of links from various sites on the web.

Etsy Chainmaillers' Guild Guild members are listed here, so you can click on a member link and linked to that members site to view items for sale. This site has contests and posts treasuries. Well worth a look.

Bear's Chainmaille Blog
They also have a store called Missing Link Chainmaille and Jewelry. You can link up to the store from the links in the page sidebar.
