greetings friends! well...after weeks of speculation...i have been proven wrong in my guesswork that my little stray duck, MJ {short for michael jordan due to it's vertical jumping ability} is a boy. nope. turns out my ma and hubby were right...because with the fill in of adult feathers...we've learned...
yep. it's a girl as the candy cigars indicated! have to thank the ever accommodating becker candy store for the photo opp. though i'm certain they must think i'm looney {minnesota state bird...bad pun} for asking for a photo to pronounce that my duck i'm raising is a little girl.
so now i have me a mary jane. still call her MJ. and she has grown like a weed in the {8} short weeks i've been raising her. have a peek @ her day one...to a present day pic {below}
when i'm not out on the hunt foraging for food {armed with my PINK swatters} for one very hungry little beak to feed...
...or walking my little girl...
...i do find inspiration from my feathered friend. take for instance when i happened on a tiny pink cabinet door the other day. i was out on my harley. no way to get it home. but there was no way i was not going to have that cutie. so i paid for it and told the shoppe keeper i'd be back with a car in a few days. little did i realize that what seemed like a short jaunt on the motorcycle was actually nearly an hour away! one heck of a road trip later...plus a little magic in the wood shop...and i created a LOVEable piece of wall art {below} sure to please one of my girly girl patinaWHITE customers!
didn't think i'd grow quite so attached to this once little ball of fluff. the intention was to rear her til she was ready to take flight into the world. but as that time draws closer and closer....i feel a tinge of sadness. because my blog "wing" girl...{seen hard @ work below}
has provided countless hours of laughter for myself and the entire family...
as her wings continue to grow & develop into feathered flights of fancy...i thought it would be a good time to bring a necklace design to life that i have been thinking about for some time. this is MJ's up & coming "take flight" inspired necklace i made {below}
guess we could all use a little reminder now and then to trust our wings. which reminds me. i have a pair that is attached to one hungry lil fowl. time to break out my trusty swatter & get busy. and see where the duck inspiration goes from here! thanks for peeking...
wishing you a fabulous day!
