A bird in the hand.....

 This little freckle-faced girl is just loving being able to hold this tiny little bird in her hands.  It's like the world has stopped for her and nothing could be better.  She daren't move - she is just loving every minute...

And that, to me,  is the basis for the saying "A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush". Let's be grateful for all that we have right now and not waste our time wishing for things that may not even be as good as what we already have.

Let's treasure the moments, the things, the people we already have in our lives..and be like this little girl - love every minute!

Anyone can change direction

Are you feeling a little lost and don't know what direction to go in? Or been doing the same thing for ages and ages and now wondering about having a change and doing something different? Just remember - "anyone can change direction" as this little necklace shows!

My little figure"Anyone" is holding a directional arrow and it can move around in what ever direction you feel like! The arrow is held on with a super strength magnet and "anyone" hangs down on a 20 inch chain so you can see the arrow and move it around!

So if you are feeling like a change - be inspired by "anyone"! Change direction in life!

Anyone can be feminine.....

One of my customers asked if my "anyone" figure could be more feminine for a necklace she wanted. I said that "anyone" was designed to be either male or female but I would give it a try. So I made a skirt for anyone - but then "she" looked like a doll so decided against it......

On a couple of other occasions when someone has wanted a girl and a boy together with some distinction between them, I've just changed the hat and made it a little wider brimmed.


So this time, I did my usual hat adaptation but rather than just widening the brim, I also added a couple of flowers.


Hope you think she looks like a girl now! "Anyone can be feminine......."

Anyone can grow flowers....

Here's my latest "anyone can" necklace - Anyone can grow flowers.

I hate to say it and upset anyone - but it has been so spring like here with warm days and sunshine and all the flowers coming out - so this little piece just popped into my head.

It's created to be like a shadow box so has it's own type of "frame" and inside shows "anyone" tending to his/her pretty flowers.


It has been a few weeks since "anyone" made an appearance and this piece actually took no thinking about it all. I sat down, wasn't even trying to think and the image came to me, I drew a quick sketch and then put it together.

Even if you are still in the cold or even snow - maybe this will make you think of more spring and summer days with the flowers opening up and blooming. Soon it will be green fingers time and you can help create all that colour and scent in your garden.......because "anyone can grow flowers".......
