Hey Reader,

I’m in full-on Dragon Gauntlet prep mode right now. Next week is my very first one (!!) and I’ve been training with my Dragon Rider Squad inside Whimsy Forge for the last 14 weeks. I can’t believe it’s here.

Here’s my finished dragon gown for the fantasy ball after the Gauntlet — what do you think?

The best part? I got to sneak in a few photos with my daughter, City. She’s turning 11 next month (how?!) and I absolutely love her little dragon warrior princess look.

Training has had me obsessed with sword work lately. I even filmed a little breakdown of a combo if you want to give it a try ⚔️

​

My favorite sword is the Katana. If you want to grab the one I use, here’s the link.

And of course, I always have an audiobook going while I sew and train. Right now it’s The Book of Azazel. Loving it so far. It’s told from a villain’s perspective, which feels perfect since we’ve been running with a villain theme inside Whimsy Forge. Peak spooky season vibes. 🖤

Hope you find a little time this week to create, move, or take on your own mini quest.

💙 Charity
