New Hobby?
Was at the mall last night with the girlfriend. By the time we made it back around to Barnes and Noble for the last of our looking/shopping we both were busting to use the bathroom. While I held our bags in the area outside the bathroom so she could use it first, I see this book on chainmail. I had been slightly interested in it before, but as I open it up, they are showing off jewelry made of mail. I was getting really interested.
Just as I was looking through the book, Dee comes out and it is my turn to use the bathroom. She asks about the book and I hand it to her. When I come back out she starts asking about my interest as we look at the book. She was getting very interested. As it turns out, she has done chainmail before. In fact, it seems that just a day or so before when we went to her parents house, she grabbed the tool box with all the pliers and some rings and brought it back to my house.
So there went one of the big expenses on getting started on chainmail. She already owned most the tools, and probably more than enough for me to get started. We sat in the Starbucks for a while and I read the begining of the book. After that, we went home. I then sat at the computer and made my first order of jump rings and such for me to start my first project. We will see how my patience is for this hobby, I could see doing a lot of playing with it.
Of course Dee is all kinds of excited that I might be interested in making jewelry.
