DIY Jewelry Tutorial: How to Create a Herringbone Wrap Bracelet

One of my favorite style of jewelry creation is the herringbone wrap. There’s so much you can do with this style of wrapping. It can look a bit overwhelming at first to create, though once you get the hang of it, it’s easily done without having to pay too much attention to the process. Below, I’ve created a picture tutorial on how to create a simple herringbone bracelet to help you get started.

Ampspiration: In Spite of Being an "Amputee", Boy Becomes a Soldier

Ampspiration: In Spite of Being an “Amputee”, Boy Becomes a Soldier

I love reading inspiring stories about kids and adults alike overcoming the odds and not letting their situation “disable” them. A young boy, Diego, whose father has been in the Army for more than 16 years decided from early on that he wanted to be like his father and join the military. Sadly, the US military only allows amputees in their ranks if they were soldiers injured while in service. Even…

AmpTips: How To Shower Without Getting Your Prosthesis Wet

As a right-side below-the-knee amputee (RBKA), showers were always a hassle. There was always the question of how I could shower and be able to stand up without getting my leg wet. Sure, I could always take it off and stand on one foot, but then I risked falling and injuring myself (which I did once). I also had extra legs laying around from when I would get new ones and tried that, but I hated…

Soulful Sunday: When It's Too Hard to Stand... Kneel

Soulful Sunday: When It’s Too Hard to Stand… Kneel

I know what you’re probably thinking. You’ve probably heard this a million times, seen it in memes and pictures all over the internet. As a lower-limb amputee like myself, you’ve probably spent lots of times on your knees. But what I’m talking about here isn’t just literally. If you or someone you know has fallen victim to worry and doubt, hear me out.

In the last two years, I’ve had two…

Hearty Creamy Potato Soup with Egg Drop Dumplings

As seen on my website ThisThingICallLife:

Looking around online, I have yet to find a potato soup recipe quite like the one I grew up with. Not having a lot of money, potatoes were a cheap way to feed a large family and boy is it ever filling! Seeing as how I always watched my mom make it and then learned to just make it by guestimating rather than an exact recipe, the following is about as…

Skeletons in the closet? I have legs in mine...

Skeletons in the closet? I have legs in mine…

I posted this same post in the national resources list in the forums but thought I’d share it here as well. If you’re anything like me, you probably have several old prosthetic devices, liners, sleeves, and socks lying around in the back of your closet or dresser. Due to possible legal considerations, prosthetic limbs and components are generally not reusable, so what the heck do I do with them?…

I must admit. Next to crafting, Pinterest has become a HUGE obsession of mine.I could literally spend hours on end just perusing through all the awesome stuff that’s out there. It started out simple for me, and the more I pinned, thinking, “Oh, I’ll just see what I can find.” the more I pinned. And pinned. And pinned. And I’m not the only one. Seeing as how Pinterest has become such a HUGE social…
