Hi, people!
I have been away from dA lately. I am trying to concentrate on working and family. And pretty much failing. Procrastination is hard to escape.
Cooking takes a lot of time, and of course Gemma.
Also, starting with September, my "hobby" will be a legal business. So if I get my shit together and actually WORK a few hours a day, I might go to fairs and such and make some real money.
A few days ago I was in my old neighborhood and on my way back I decided to go on a different path than usually, and found out that someone opened a miniatures shop! And I went in. The person who sells the stuff also makes all wooden little things and was actually looking for other miniature artists to make things from other materials. And she didn't know anyone who makes food! She was happy when I told her I can make food. I showed her some old stuff I made and she liked it so this week I am making some new stuff for her store. How cool is this? And all because the only post office where I like the workers is the one in my old neighborhood. It is literally on the other side of the city, but I'd rather take the bus 15 stations to go there than walk to the post office that is near me, where the workers are always pissed off and annoying.
And this woman is very inspiring too. She has her workshop in the shop. And OMG you need so many tools for wood working! And she also sells tools of many kinds and stuff you need to make miniature scenery, like fake (or real) grass, trees, stones and stuff. It is amazing to find all these things in my city!
Now I really want to have my own workshop and this will be a resolution for next year. Working at home is pretty nice, but having to mix work with family at all times gets very tiring and you can't really enjoy any of them at the fullest. I think it is better to be able to separate them completely and just work when you are at work and just be with your family when you are at home.
Gemma is amazing, in case anyone wondered. She started to call us "mami" and "tati" (mommy and daddy, in Romanian). You can hear her on my YouTube channel, if you need a bit of cuteness ATM. www.youtube.com/user/gemdedude… She also says many other words. She is the main reason I am happy to be at home at all times despite all of my work related frustrations.
My health is not at its best, I look like shit, really. My hair length is that horrible one between short and medium too... doesn't help. But honestly, I don't care that much right now. Winter is coming (in 3 months or so). I will have to wear a lot of clothes and cover my head. I just hope I will feel and look better by spring time.
I recently started to cook a lot of Indian food. I have so many kinds of spices! Do you like any kind of Indian food? (Recipe please? )
Well, I hope I will have some cool stuff to show you soon.

Because reasons. :D
Don't expect me to post anything new soon though. :P Because life. XD (I will post the stuff from my other account though, before deleting it. Why did I think it was a good idea to make a new account?)
Who knows though, maybe I will surprise you... and myself. XD
Is anyone left here to get my hugz? :hug: How was life for you in the past year? I hope you are all healthy and artsy and enjoying every moment! (I am not. Haha! XD)
The new start
I have a new account for crafts. AlinaFM (https://www.deviantart.com/alinafm) From now on all my crafts will be uploaded there. I will keep this account too, for all other stuff, but I will be less active on it. :)
Thank you all for being with me until now and I hope you will join me from now on too. ^_^
Hugs!

From the beginning, my love for video games and anime teamed up well with my passion for creation. In the last few years I made many items inspired by other artist's stories and my most popular pieces were among them.
I now feel that it's time to dedicate more time to my ow stories and I decided that starting with next year I will only sell 100% original work.
Even so, people will still want to have items from their favorite stories. I want to help them make those items, with quality video tutorials.
To make these tutorials I need a decent camera. I cannot afford one right now.

When life gives you everything...
...but you have to pick only a few stuff. Drama of my life. I'm starting to get bored with my own feelings and whining.
I need discipline. I've never, ever been good at it. Not for long.
Anyway.
Yesterday I was at the store to buy bread. Close to where we live, there is a guesthouse. Tourists come to stay there all year round. While I was waiting in line, a tourist woman approached the shop assistant. The shop assistant doesn't know English well and she asked for my help. I translated for her. As I was approaching the foreign woman I felt my ears like they were on fire. :lol: I knew in that moment that my face was red, but I translated any

Wow, that was lucky to find that store. Cum se numeste? sunt curioasa, dar dupa descriere este un magazin mic deci nu ar avea un site unde as putea sa vizionez ce se vinde nu? Oricum mult noroc la noul loc de munca , and hope you get well soon so you can do more art
