Getting Dirty!

HI!

It's been a while since I've posted...thought i'd stop in say hello and show you some new stuff.

So much has been going on outside of Auviana'land that everything has kind of been put on hold.

I am hoping to get back on track and get this on the move again!

Enjoy!

I love getting my hands dirty!

 The workings of these pocket watches are just fantastic!  All the little gears, coils, screws, pins and everything else that makes up these little working machines, amaze me.

I have some pretty old pocket watches some dating to the mid 1800's  They are in great shape - i just can't bring myself to take them apart.  I also have some older watches that are extremely small - i can't seem to get those apart!

I wanted to share this cleaning of this brass pocket watch.

This bad boy gave me an extremely hard time.  The insides DID NOT want to come out.

But I won!

TADA!

I also wanted to share a couple of my latest creations.

These will be listed to etsy sometime soon

Whats new...

On one of my treasure hunting trips, I found these!

My addiction to pocket watches keeps me in search of any and all that I can find.

I also found these beautiful crystals.

Aren't they pretty!?

Also....

I've listed a few new items in the shop.

2011 has been a crazy year for us.  We hit our 2 year anniversary and then we announced we were closing up shop.  Our personal lives had us in some awkward places.  Claire became very ill and was hospitalized twice this year.  I had a major knee surgery and was couch bound for some months.  Claire is working on getting herself better as well as smarter lol she has started school again.  So she has decided to put Auviana on a back burner.  But I couldn't stay away.  I'm still recovering from my knee surgery and will most likely need another surgery but i've decided to start creating again.

Right now I am not sure where i'm going to take Auviana - but I just wanted to get my hands and brain working again.

I've got some work ahead of me but I want to thank everyone who has stuck with us.
