Little bits and pieces . . .



The piece I am sharing today was made with little bits and pieces I've picked up over time. When I thought about the words bits and pieces I was reminded of life and how the little bits and pieces of our days become our lives. Some of the pieces on this doll were given to me, likewise the wisdom given to me by my mom. Some were picked up off the ground, like things learned through the school of hard knocks. Some were bought to be used one day, similar to good times shared with those we love which carry us through the tougher times we have to face later.
When I first made this doll, I liked her. Then I looked at her and thought she looked too much like a robotic type warrior. Then I looked at her some more, and I softened to the way she is. Now when I pass her on the wall, she makes me smile. Thinking today about the bits and pieces and how they come together to create our lives.

I think she is beautiful, just the way she is. She made me smile. She is reality.

Very cool. Ahhh, to just relax and play. Of course, I'm now checking this from the lobby computer and will do payroll in a moment.

She adds a smile to my face too. How fun it must have been putting all the "little bits and pieces" together to make a whole. She's just a darling.

Hugs,
