2026 Update – Still Nailbending and Creating When Life Allows

Posted on: June 20, 2026

Hello everyone,

It’s been a while since I’ve posted here. Life continues to be full — wrapping up a long chapter at work, caregiving, finishing my Computer Science degree, and keeping up with day-to-day responsibilities.

I have not done any new SCA-related work or artwork in a while. The brushes, tools, and wire are resting for now while I focus on other priorities. The household (Giggleswick) is still quietly active in spirit.

On the crafting side, I’ve been enjoying cross-stitching again and experimenting with photography again. I may start sharing more of that process here alongside the older chainmail and woodworking posts.

Thank you to everyone who still stops by this little corner of the internet. I’ll update again when there’s something new worth sharing — whether it’s a new project, life reflection, or just a small victory in the shop.

Update 2025

College, work and life. Life has been hectic but good. I stepped down from serving the Kingdom as KMOL in February or 2024. I am currently the KMOL-ED for our wonderful KMOL. Also still serving as Baronial Clerk Signet and Royal Secretary. 

Happy 6th of May!

I have been helping the MOL-IC for Ruby Joust prepare for the event.  If you are a fighter please pre-sign in so the MOLs can get some of the work we need to do done ahead of time. Once on-site I will be chained to the Rapier field’s MOL table for the duration of the event.

The link is here.

After that, I will be taking my household to Known World Heraldry & Scribal Symposium.

April 2018 Update

Hello everyone!

I have updated my resume to reflect what I have done recently and also, for everyone’s convenience, added links to the scroll images that are posted online on my household’s website the Gigglesworth Academy of Scribes of Wigglesworth within a new tab. Just click on the recipient’s name to see the scroll on my Resume page

I have also added images of garment pieces I was honoured to make for the Baron and Baroness of Stierbach so they could dress in Japanese garments at Defending the Gate on the Garb Creation Page.

Later this month, per feedback I received at Kingdom Arts and Sciences Festival,  I will be posting pictures of myself as recommended; even though I hate having pictures taken. I’d rather be on the other side of the camera 🙂
