Welcome to TV.net!!
I have thanks to my mum for introducing me to WoT too!!

Welcome! Egwene and Perrin are so of my most favorite characters as well. And I'm always glad to see another Holmes fan. I think I've read every story at least twice, likely more.

Asking for a trip to JCon was an excellent idea for a birthday gift. I'm so pleased you were able to go and that you had such fun! I went last year but couldn't attend this year.

I look forward to getting to know you - and your mom - as you work your way thought the forums!

Welcome to the site. And congratulations on sharing a passion like that with your mother. I do love my own mother a lot, but never had this kind of passion with her. Although i am considering introducing her to some of my fantasy books as she does seem to enjoy things like that. My dad and i share a scifi passion, but i doubt i could ever bring him to a convention. Oh well.
Welcome to the site, and i hope you will love this place and find it an good expansion on the already large world of the wheel of time.

Welcome to Tar Valon! I was at JordanCon too.

 

[Dnae Ila]

Hello and welcome! It's great that you can be here with your mom. You'll find there's actually quite a few real families on the site, but we're all family to each other. I'm glad you're here!

Welcome to Tar Valon! I was at JordanCon too.

I hope you enjoyed it Onis Sedai, especially traveling all the way from Norway! My great-great-grandmother came to the United States with her sister from Norway, and I believe they lived in Oslo.

 

[Onis O'Leia]

Yes, I sure enjoyed JordanCon a lot. It was my first JordanCon, and I hope to get to go back one year.

Thank you Madam Mayor! Just to clarify, my mother has read all of the Wheel of Time books and introduced me to the series. I was referring to the Stormligt archives by Brandon Sanderson in my previous post. Sorry for the confusion! I'm still getting used to how this forum works.

Oops I probably misunderstood. If you don't mind me asking, what kinds of things do you like to craft?

Hi Elyss, and welcome to Tar Valon! I don't know if I got to meet you at JordanCon, but I'm glad to hear you enjoyed it. And: It's great to see another member from NC. :joy

Hello and welcome

 

[Elyss Koh'inor]

If you don't mind me asking, what kinds of things do you like to craft?

I don't mind at all Madame Mayor! It is one of my favorite subjects. I got my first sewing machine when I was ten, but I have always enjoyed crafts of all kinds.
My knitting and crochet skills are good, but not great. I've only done flat pieces in both, several crochet afghans and knitted scarves.
I made my first full costume for JordanCon! I made a dress and did bead embroidery on the hem, neckline, and sleeves. I created the pattern based on a medieval cotehardie. I look forward to doing more.
Being a member of a short family, my hemming and alteration skills are exercised regularly, even if they aren't as fun as my other projects.
I've made several quilts, and I'm currently trying hand-quilting for the first time. (Lots of thimbles and stabbing myself, but I'm getting through it!)
I LOVE embroidery. I think this is my favorite craft to work with. I've experimented with beads, and I'm playing around with long-and-short stitch cherry blossoms for my next costume.
Those are really my main crafty things, and I do a bit of zentangle-type doodling. I don't think that's defined as a "craft", but it is another artistic activity I enjoy.

As the list must hint, I'm never without a project, and I'm usually working on two or more at once.

Thank you Mother! I was excited to see you were from Durham. We live about forty-five minutes away from Raleigh, so Durham isn't much farther.

Welcome!

You have many hobbies – it sounds as though you have accomplished a lot. Creating things is always quite fulfilling.

 

[Dnae Ila]

You sound really talented, Elyss. I like you!
Tell me, how do you feel about pockets? :shifty

As both a pocket Accepted and a pocket landlord, I can attest to the happiness that comes with pocketdom.

I'm still enjoying my pingpong table!!

*Whispers to Elyss*
Sometimes you can barter a few things from your pocket landlord.
