I cannot make jewelry (like talented Jane) but I love everything sparkly, colorful and pretty. So I keep buying cheap beads and even bracelets, necklaces and other pieces from thriftstores because the beads are so pretty. I am a true magpie.
I have been storing these plastic and glass beads for quite some time and just had an idea how to use them with birds! But of course. I made little tweets from tweed, needle felted eyes and wings plus added the matching beaks. Then I had the greatest time choosing the beads to go with birdie - and these ones were born!
And I just found the way to use them immediately, too:
Happy Thursday!

Good morning Mia,
What wonderful bright birdies - how they sparkle with their beads..you could put them on your Christmas tree too - Christmas Tweets. I love them, they really made me smile this morning.
Thank you for your very kind words about my jewellery.....I too am a true magpie for new beads, they just shout "buy me"!!I am putting a Christmas beads/jewellery post on my blog early next week so you can see more of my sparkles there.
I have one last day with my daughter today..it's been wonderful, lots of retail therapy too ;0)
Happy Thursday dear Mia and have a great weekend,
Love Jane x
What sweet birdies Mia and so perfect as decorations - either on trees, as Jane said, or parcels - but I think I'd have to have one dangling from my bag just to be able to see him all day.
Have a lovely warm day,

Lovely little birds, Mia! And what a great idea to include beads - so sparkly. I also loved seeing your star light in the last post - the lights in other peoples' windows always look so welcoming in the darkness of winter.
Have a lovely day. Helen x
