Moving house - We're off to Shetland

Hi guys! Elli here ♥

Firstly I wanted to apologise for the lack of content recently, a lot has happened this year already. The main reason being, we're shipping our stuff to the Shetland Isles!

This wasn't confirmed until a few days ago (we thought it was already in early February but apparently security checks got delayed) and it's been a huge blur of moving stuff around and sorting things out. Covid hasn't helped, HOWEVER, I have got my first jab! Woo! ♥

It has unfortunately meant I've had no chance to post much art here for you guys. :'( We have a truckload (literally) still to do before our move on the last week of March.

I'm closing my Etsy shop until the foreseeable future as I won't be able to bring any of my stock with me for now. I have also been thinking whether or not to keep Patreon going with any tiers at all since due to other work commitments, I won't be able to (again :'C) do anything with Tistow until end of May at least.

For this reason I'm finding my way around Patreon to work out how to let folk still pledge if they like, but not to worry about signing up for a specific tier to see content. In the future both Miikka and I will post all the content for every Patron to see, regardless of tier.

I'm very much wrapped up like a duvet rat with SSE stuff right now, so majority of any future Posts here will be Star Stable Entertainment associated. Not necessarily horses but.. Hopefully you guys will enjoy it as much as I have once I can share more. ♥ These will continue to be going under Star Stable tag.

I'm also going to be documenting my journey to Shetland and settling down there! I will post the first snippets of it on Instagram and Twitter, but any other photos and stories will be posted here for safe keeping. I don't yet know if I'll have internet right away on the isles, so we'll see how much I can post off my phone! That will all go under the Shetland tag!

And the third thing, come May, will be the arrival of a very special baby that I've been planning and waiting on for over a year now. Some of you know I booked a fjord foal in-utero from a stud called Dunkirk in Cambridge. This is something I've planned on for a very long time and saved up for even longer. We had everything in place for the foal to come to me in September/October time, but Shetland has kinda thrown us off that plan at least location wise. But I have been and will continue to document all of that under the Fjording tag.

So all the content from me, will be a bit more varied in the future! Expect Shetland, horses and more baby horses! I'm sad I don't currently have time for Tistow, but I've had to accept that for now it's best to let it rest until the dust has settled. Miikka has some exciting plans too, but I'll let him tell you all about it when he's ready. ♥

The pandemic has thrown us all a curve ball, so if you feel like you need to lower your pledge or leave entirely, or even if the content is no longer what you signed up for, don't worry! It's completely ok. ♥  

We are a foundation member so you can still sign up for just $1 if you wish to. We'd like to continue providing y'all with interesting and fun stuff to read, but please don't worry about pledging, we want to keep things fun for everyone. Even with all the Patreon lag.

I've got a public post scheduled next with some fjording stuff! :D I hope you guys will like it. ♥

Cheers,

Elli
