Hey there

I'm still alive. Although I hardly get any time around DA these weeks. I still regularly go through the comments and notes, but if you really need to reach me, it's better to send me an email mithgariel@gmail.com

I've been at 3 different Christmas markets. Small one at Jüri near Tallinn went pretty well, Stuart and I sold decently and I got some really beautiful yarn.
The biggest one at Lõunakeskus was shitty. With 2 full tiresome days I sold only few items and Stu sold none
Yesterday I was at a really small market in Genialistide Klubi, and the results of just 3 hours were remarkable. I also had Stuart's stuff with me and I managed to make some decent money for both of us.

And Stu got me an anvil from Tallinn, so I'm really anxious to meet her and my little anvil. Now I can hammer things.

I have secret present plans for some of my DA friends as well. They might just arrive for New Years Eve or so.
All in all, I'm working my ass off as usually and munching on our LARP project as well.

I have a plan regarding my overflowing watchlist and if DA doesn't crash at it (as it has so far), I'm going to clean my watch list and re-add only a few people. Because honestly... those 700 people and 500 deviations in my inbox each day are a way too much.

Wishing you all a satisfactory funky holidays!

Be blessed

Mithgariel

Just a short note to thank everyone who helped me help ~StuartLohe. She has had quite some nice commissions and the packages are travelling all across the world. So for the time being, things really seem to go uphill again.

We are both crazily preparing for several Christmas markets, so I've not even had time to upload any deviations. At least I have the pictures taken.

Marie, your earrings got posted today along with Stuart's stuff
Annette, if you read this, please note back at Stuart, if you want the goodies to arrive before Christmas They'd look dashing on a certain young lady

And sorry for not commenting and talking to all of you, but unless I'm working, I'm working OR I'm so dead tired that I either watch Supernatural or play Farmville and other games at Facebook.

I'm planning to put a discount sale of my jewellery up here very soon - let's see if I can make it tomorrow.
Until then - have a great evening and thank you again

EDIT 16.11: Got a couple of commisions, thank you
And now with lots of pictures. Grab yours while their hot. And generally, since I know too many of you are as piss poor as we - help me promote ~StuartLohe. That doesn't cost you anything and means so much to us.



EDIT 12.11: Paid the internet bill, so we are now BOTH back online and you can note ~StuartLohe about her goods. Also, helped her to edit the photos. She'll be uploading them shortly. But there are a few already added. Talk about multitalented



Help us spread the word among fellow deviants and non-deviants. She has had one commission after putting up this journal, and one person interested (I smell a commission). Thank you both and all those who have spread the good word.

EDIT: It's getting worse. Due to unpaid bills her internet connection was shut down, and her phone as well. Even means of communication are falling off, and with it, the means of selling the jewellery she has. We had good plans with several auctions and stuff, but now with her internet gone...

There is very little I can do, actually, especially with my salary this month being so low that there won't be much left after paying my own bills. I will do what I can, though.

PLEASE, PLEASE HELP US.

----------------------------

I'm talking of ~StuartLohe. And the "starving" part is to be taken seriously. There is very little I can actually do, because I'm scraping sents together as well, as many of us do, but perhaps someone needs an early Christmas present, or something very unique for birthday...

You see, she's a witty lil crafts(wo)man, making brass and silver and <insert name of the metal here> brooches and rings and bracelets and earrings etc etc, with ancient Estonian patterns and style.

But let the goods speak for themselves and move your hearts:



I mean, you can order these and pretty much anything in the style that your fantasy comes up with. Go take a peek, talk to her. She won't bite, not hard

And help me spread a word, will you? Help me help her, please

Found that I had 5 dollars on my Paypal account and 1 deviant dollar round here, so I took advantage of the "no shipping fee" (usually shipping to Estonia costs a fortune) and ordered a few from my mile long wishlist:



and since I adore Siobhan's character Bryn (no offence, Cronachan - he had prints available and you had but one - harrass your leannan about that)... well, well -

And something I ain't showing, cause it's a surprise gift to ~StuartLohe.



No time (or energy, actually) for updating, but I wanna prove you I'm still hanging out there, so...

Working. Although last week I spent very much in preparation for our LARP event, along with ~k2rts and ~StuartLohe.
Since more than half of the players backed out for several reasons (more or less good ones), we ended up with 5 and a half (NPC) left, along with 2 GM characters. And you know what - we had the most beautiful, intense, intimate and epic game ever.

It's impossible to describe. Let's just say that the air was very different from our usual. So - no regrets, except the monetary issues (with Stuart having paid the rent bill and me buying all the food and stuffs... no idea how to pay our own bills or live until the next payday...).

Still making jewellery. Still haven't had time to make it to the Loitsukeller.

And atm, down with a cold.... Guess it had to hit sooner or later.

And I'm sorry, but my inbox ran over with deviations and I deleted them all. If there is a work of yours I've missed and you want me to see it (I want to see them), just post here, OK, cause it might take me a while to hop into your galleries. There are so many of them.

Just a short note with great news. I was in the capital (Tallinn) for a few days and I almost accidentally visited one of the oldest and most famous alternative jewellery and esoteric shops, Loitsukeller.

Briefly - after a little conversation with the owner I was offered an opportunity to have my own little board for jewellery. She really loved my things (I had a few with me) and all I have to do now is to put together a selection and take it there. No fee from the shop, what I sell, I sell. So let's hope I sell.

Newest passion - wire wrapping. I'll try and take pictures today.
Busy. Working my ass off and when I'm not at work, I'm either writing for the LARP project or making jewellery.
