Too Mini Shoes is the name of my Etsy store. My daughter is an accomplished artist and talked me into starting it. I work on wire wrapping horseshoes with gemstones, beads, and other little things. I really enjoy it and started when I saw them on facebook and decided I could make my own out of all of our horseshoes and gemstone jewelry I never wore. I had so much fun I started making them as gifts and as I watched Missy's foaling cam night after night it just snowballed. I only have 6 completed on the store, and 18 more to finish. It's very hard now with spring gardening, new foal and chicks, and lots of training to find time to do them.
I also used to paint rocks. It all started because I didn't want to spend a fortune on canvas lol. I am picky and didn't want to be throwing away a lot of canvas and supplies if I didn't like the results. I have sold a lot of my pet rocks over the years, these are the ones I have hanging around. I haven't painted in about 10 years now.
In the past raising a family I crocheted, knitted, cross stitched, embroidered, and as a poor mother made my own curtains from leftover bedspreads or tablecloths. I've always been hyperactive, so I found ways to keep busy when the kids were asleep. I am one of those that couldn't wait until school was out to have the kids home all day. Now that part of me is obsessed with my horses, chickens and kitties. I have my chicks on cam on the dining room table, they are so cute!
