Protege to Maistir Mael Eoin and apprentice to Master Ra'id Ibn Al Za'rur. [[Category:Bhakail]]

== Persona ==
Vaguely Middle Eastern, but with no solid timeframe or location.  Think of me as a maker who was picked up along the silk road to sew yurts, who has traveled and collected clothing, jewelry, and personality traits from all over.

I make a *whole lot* of things, most of which I post on Facebook.  But I'm also trying to keep up with my blog - [https://chanafreidlthemaker.wordpress.com Chana Freidl Makes Things]

While surprises are fun, I would appreciate if my Pelican [[Mael Eoin mac Echuid]] could be informed of any awards I might receive.

== More Information ==
Hebrew and Yiddish names are difficult to pronounce, as English doesn't have similar sound structures.  Pronounce the CH in Chana as if you were saying "l'chaim," the Hebrew toast meaning "to life", or CHanukah in the traditional pronunciation.  If this sound is too difficult to make, HAh-nuh is an appropriate substitution.  Freidl is pronounced the same way as dreidl, the top you spin at CHanukah.  It can be pronounced FRAY-dull or FRY-dull.
