I have a couple of shops on Etsy.com, Altered Expectations (mixed media) and Ruby Slipper (all jewelry). I am always looking for something new to experiment with and try out. I think I may be going through a midlife crisis/empty nest thing, but I try to keep busy and give my mind lots of new positive things to think about. I still have one son at home: a skateboarding, scruffy-haired, 12 year old, and two lovable tuxedo cats, brother and sister. My latest new item I am trying is wire work, in jewelry. I also like to draw and am trying watercolors.
