Here are three of some one of a kind altered mirrors that I made last year. They are mirrors on the opposite side. I made them all to hag on the wall, though the one on the right is in a pendant necklace style.

Celestial Mood

Today I was in a very celestial mood making this bracelet and brooch. They are made in colors of silver, gold and copper. I love to see the metals used together.

A Rare Look in the Boudoir

A rare look. I have taken some photos after we did the spring cleaning in the boudoir. I usually have such an art mess everywhere that most don't get to see things like this. Clean, dusted and straighten.

I have a collection of shoes, most are the Old Glass and Porcelain styles, but I have been given some of the newer ones as gifts also. I had been collecting them for over 22 years. I have a very short wide foot myself (size 5 wide), so this is my way of buying shoes and not having to wear them. They are all much more comfortable to look at.

I love vintage dresser items, little boxes, hankys, doilies, tiny perfumes, the hat pin ladies.

Spring Cleaning & Making Jewelry

April 18th we had an earthquake. It may not be that big of a deal for some, but when you live in the Midwest it is quite the occasion. For some reason I was already awake and could hear some cracking sounds. I thought it must be very windy, I listened for the wind but there was none. Then the bed started bouncing. And for a second, I thought we must have left the cats in the house last night (we usually put them in the garage, because otherwise they wake us). But it seemed like more cats and bigger than the ones we had. Then I realized it was an earthquake. My husband then announced it was an earthquake and was about to hop out of bed, but I told him it was almost over. I knew that they lasted only seconds and most must have pasted. I had been in one before, when we first moved to Indiana about 20 years ago.

We had thought that there was no damage, but when spring cleaning, we did find ceiling damage, but 2 of the bedroom lights.

In between spring cleaning, I have been trying to also get some new jewelry made. Ankle Bracelet, Charm Bracelet, Earrings, Brooches, Vintage Style Necklaces. I have been making up a large variety these last couple of weeks. I also completed one of the Altered Pocket Watches I had started earlier, but had run into a problem. But it is finished and I love how it turn out, "Seedtime and Harvest".
