On February the 20th 2013 (my husband and mines 10 years anniversary) I fell down some stairs and fractured my right elbow, so for the next couple of weeks I will not join any swaps. In the swap I am already in, the partner have been contacted.
My name is Mia, I live with my husband near Copenhagen in Denmark. I don't have any kids, but I do have a cat :D His name is Misling, he is old and grumpy and I love him very much.

I'm also af medieval re-enactor, so I love anything medieval.... food, music, art, history, fashion, crafts, folklore and so on

Animals: Cats!!!!!!!!!!, owls, foxes, squirrels, dolphins, ravens, crows, mice, dragonflies. (actually I love all animals (but monkeys scare me), some people have the opinion that I seem to value the life of an animal higher then life of a human and sometimes that's true... as twisted as it might be)

Please don't see the wish list as a "shopping list" but more as an insight to the things I like and enjoy. I have put it on my profile, because I like it when people I swap with have it, it gives me a great idea of what kind of things they like. Thank you :)
This is just for my own convenience

Thank you so much for the castle frame from the tag! I just love it. Now I just need to make a little cross stitch to put in it. :-)
Love your Beltane Goddess Doll! Very nice bead work you did!
Thank you for the gorgeous dragon Ostara egg! It is so pretty and I am so excited about the goodies tucked in with it! You're the best!
Oh my goodness. I can't believe it made it with no customs form! Hmmmm. Makes me wonder if I could send something even thicker. Thanks for letting me know.... I wish I could have sent more, but until I am working, have to be careful.
Ahha! So my assumption was correct!
I did not want to jump to the conclusion that someone wants to be referred to as one of the most famous murderous women in history. I know who she is and I find it interesting and slightly entertaining in a sad way. I still like the name you picked; I always thought her name sounded so elegant and that’s why I asked. I did not want to post something “gruesome” and have you say “My cats name is Bathory, its sounds cute! Get off my page you freak!” You profile reads that I was thinking the same as you but again, I did not want to assume it!
I have followed this artists work since a bit after she appeared. I love the picture that I have up and I have colored it so many times over. Perhaps it can inspire you to use it in a way? Or at the very least you might enjoy her dark side of her art. If not sorry to bother with the link :)
I have always been interested in bloodletting and the workings behind that. Sure some put in under “quack medicine” in history but I really do not think it belongs there! Just so you know I am pretty old…and not a virgin. Just sayin…bloods not good..ya know
Gee, it deleted my first comment sorry about that! I simply stated that I enjoy your username and wondered what made you pick it?
If I ever had to change my username I would pick TitForTat. I still regret my boring choice for my user name :)
hei, thanx for the comment about the PF info on Norways christmas traditions. Like you i didnt know how alike our celebrations are till i started to read to write the post he he. Personally I like the fact Norway has managed to retain the old ways as well as adapt to the more christian elements on the 25th it makes it so much easier to celebrate the winter solstice and yule with out loosing traditions or offending family and friends. maybe we can swap some ideas etc at some point on our celebrations blessed be Tori
