Creating at Night

Wow, I've surprised myself. I was to make this custom necklace to go with the bracelet I had already made and then make earrings to match.  So I had this simple twist necklace rope with a cool vintage black button with a great rhinestone in the middle with this wild coral enveloping it on the copper netting I put over it. Then I was going to add four middle to small on each side with the coral enveloping beautiful 1920's mirror back buttons and rhinestone flowers.

Then, it turned out she didn't like it and wanted something entirely different. So tonight I actually managed to make a set of earrings that I'm so psyched about. I'm planning on doing a few pairs in the similar style. I really can't wait to see the feedback. And speaking about the necklace above I started, I attached the ends to the original coral encrusted button and am ready to add the next buttons with the coral invading them and surrounding the areas. Can't wait to do that part. Sure hope that goes over well.

Just spent over an hour rubbing my, few months in my house, semi-feral cat, Dommy. She had kitties before I got her from the Rescue in Victoria. She was in a dumpster searching for food for her kitties. So she bumps up against me, did I tell you she has learned to trust me :) then she slides down beside my leg so I can rub her stomach like the kitties. She falls asleep and then so I started to a few times also, this happened tonight. I'm an empath - oh, don't go running out of the room screaming I'm nuts.... I feel other people's and animal's feelings and so I was really into her feelings tonight. I'm so dozy with the sleep and contentment she gets. I got three other ferals, Maggie who lets me pet her a lot, Gemmie who will not let me touch her and the real feral Aerial.  You can't even get too close or she bolts. She's going to take a lot of work. But I love it and the reward of them learning to trust you and know they are safe.

Well, hope you're all having a really great week and I hope you enjoy your weekend! xoxoxoxoxo
