I don’t know anymore 😅🤷‍♀️

@ellette-giselle

Oh no! Yikes. I hope you get better soon as well.

@rae

Interesting! That’s cool. I’m also part German, up to like 50%. (Could possibly be Dutch instead, it’s hard for ancestry websites to tell.) I think my last name means “Manly”… lol. Sounds like a sweet memory!

@esther-c No worries! Just checking in.

@ellette-giselle

I’ve read both the books, but it’s been a while. I think I borrowed them using interlibrary loans or whatever. They were pretty good. Probably worth rereading at some point soon. If you can borrow them anywhere, you should.

@ellette-giselle

That’s okay! When did you get injured?

@whalekeeper

No problem!

I’d like to hear your opinion on the stories!

@hybridlore

What is the origin of your last name?

Not sure. It means “blacksmith ironworker” so it probably had origins similar to “Smith”. Interesting thing is, I recently learned that there’s a few different variations, such as Isle (Finnish I think).

Eisele itself is German. I’ve actually met another Eisele whose ancestors came to the US a few…[Read more]

@savannah_grace2009

ACTUALLY??!!

🤣 Awww, that’s so cool!!! 🥰 I love that you used it!! XDD

@hybridlore

Nothing really that I can think of. Thanks for asking! 🤗

@godlyfantasy12

Oooh, I love the sound of this!!!

@theducktator

*offers cake, slowly claps*

@rae

Wow! Yeah, I wouldn’t have guessed that! What is the origin of your last name?

Funny story… my grandma’s maiden name was probably originally said one way, since it’s not pronounced how it looks, but when her mom (or grandma? I can’t remember which) married into the family, she started pronouncing it a different way since she had a lisp. And…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle @hybridlore

well, you got closer than some people do XD

It’s pronounced eyesuh-la. Hopefully that makes sense. Some places will say it’s pronounced with an “ee” sound on the end instead of the “la” but I specifically know my Oma (who was actually my great grandmother and not my grandmother but she always wanted us to call her…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Are we planning another one of these for this Saturday, or what’s the plan? 😉

@rae

I would say it, Eye-suhl, like the Eiffel Tower but with an S instead.

@ellette-giselle

Lolol! Well, then I’m saying it right. XD

@keilah-h

Oh no, I’ve been saying your name wrong too!! 😂 I thought it was Key-la. Where is your name in the Bible?

@ellette-giselle

I think I’m saying your name right? 😅 I know we already had a conversation about this. I feel confident about everything but the “Ette”. I might have the emphasis wrong, but oh well.

The trick to no one saying…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

I’ve been pronouncing your last name wrong (I’ve treated the /G/ as /G/ instead of /J/), but I think I’ve pronounced your first name right. YAY!

People mess up my last name a lot. Either they see it in writing and pronounce it wrong or they know how to pronounce it but can’t spell it. I have a friend who I’ve known since I was…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

wow! That’s so cool! Is it lines, Xs dots? Like what makes cross hatch “cross hatch” If that makes sense?

It’s straight lines that often cross each other at different angles. The more lines, the darker the shadow.

Here’s a picture of some balls drawn in a couple cross-hatch styles compared to other drawing techniques (I didn’…[Read more]
