Description from J Yee smart chick: this morning was OVERCAST and cool w/ overcast skies, for the first time in a week! So I figure the birds, trees, plants and other "critters" are also feeling relieved. Now we are beginning to get some sunshine w/ blue skies and clouds again, the lovely new Green Girl bird w/ clouds toggle comes to mind... :)

Fashion Chick aka SC says:This pick is beautiful, Smart Chick!!

J Yee smart chick says:thank you kitty chicky and fashion chick – I almost wanted to cry in relief when I got up this morning. Our temperatures are supposed to drop back to the seventies by this Friday, whew… I would definitely use that lovely bird with clouds toggle as the center of a necklace, maybe a “Y” design or some way as a pendant… also maybe in a lariat…

Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:What a gorgeous pick, Joyce! So glad things have cooled off some for you.
Love your necklace idea!

Anita QoG Funny Chick says:OHHHH, I do indeed Love this pick, Joyce!!! Thank goodness you’ll be getting some cooler weather!!!

Kitty Chicky Cat says:Sounds very cool Smart Chick!

J Yee smart chick says:Thank you chickies!!! and how is the weather where ya all are at??? anyone else have some ideas on how to effectively use this stupendous bird w/ clouds toggle???
On Aug 05, 2009 at 12:40 am #
ChickyD aka Debra says:Beautiful, cool pick, smart chick! Love your Y necklace idea with the toggle!
Hot here in central Texas. 103 yesterday, 102 today, more of the same for the rest of the week…blah, blah, blah…

Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:We had terrible winds and thunderstorms here in central Indiana today. Nothing like they had in Louisville, KY — over 6 inches of rain in one hour and terrible flooding!
On Aug 05, 2009 at 12:59 am #
ChickyD aka Debra says:I heard about those storms, Lynn Eileen.
I can’t believe that only 2 years ago, we had one of the coolest and wettest summers on record. It rained torrentially almost every day. Horrible when you’re trying to drive.
My son just came back from NYC (staying with his dad for the summer) where they’ve had quite a bit of rain.

Cotopaxi Chickie Sue says:Beautiful pick, smart chick! glad you are finally getting some cooler weather. we were in the low 80′s at 9000 ft today, and at least we didn’t have the afternoon thunderstorms today!
Love your idea of a Y necklace, and this clasp would be lovely in the front! Hope you post it!
On Aug 05, 2009 at 1:01 am #
Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:I hope your son had a great time while he was in NYC, Debra!
On Aug 05, 2009 at 1:17 am #
ChickyD aka Debra says:Yes, Lynn Eileen, he had a wonderful time. Now, he has to adjust to being back with me…not a pleasant or easy adjustment, I’m afraid…
On Aug 05, 2009 at 1:25 am #
J Yee smart chick says:Chicky D, my sympathies to you about those high temperatures in central Texas, whew… did your son enjoy his trip to NYC despite all the rains?
Lynn, glad to hear that your winds and rain weren’t as bad as over in Louisville with all the rains and flooding.
Cotopaxi Sue, low eighties sounds way hot for your being in the mountains – in north Carolina, right?
I gotta think on how to use that bird clasp effectively – it’s one of those kinds of very special and striking pieces that could be tricky to use in a design – what else to combine along with it so the other beads don’t “compete” for attention with it???

ChickyD aka Debra says:Thank you, smart chick, Nicholas had a wonderful time! He’s a lucky kiddo! This was his 2nd summer in NYC. Dad lives on Broadway and W. 72nd. He’s invited me for New Year’s. Good thing we all get along. It does get kinda weird, though. Kinda like the twilight zone… BTW, N’s dad is at a conference in Seattle at the moment. I think he’ll be there 1 week.
I definitely want to see what you do with that clasp!
On Aug 05, 2009 at 1:33 am #
Fashion Chick aka SC says:Smart Chick, have you thought about a choker with the clasp being the focal point?
On Aug 05, 2009 at 1:38 am #
J Yee smart chick says:Chicky D, I’m very gad to hear that Nicholas enjoyed his visit w/ his dad, and that you all get along, even if a few moments might be awkward. Hhhmm, New Year’s in NYC could be fun, do you think you might go? What a small world, that Nicholas’ dad is in Seattle for a conference right now, I could pass him on the streets and not know…
I love creative challenges such as the one that the lovely bird w/ clouds clasp presents… here’s to dreams of how to use it in a design…
On Aug 05, 2009 at 1:48 am #
ChickyD aka Debra says:Oh, yes, I will go. We’ll all have a blast. I went last summer for several days, and we all had a good time.
On Aug 05, 2009 at 2:00 am #
J Yee smart chick says:Fashion chick, sure appreciate your suggestion of a choker w/ the bird clasp as the focal! at this point, the more ideas the better!!!
Chicky D, I’m glad to hear you’re all planning to go to NYC for New Year’s, I haven’t decided what I’ll be doing then… I hope our upcoming winter won’t be as bad as the last half of December, where we got several inches of snow due to repeated snow storms… and our City’s transportation crews didn’t handle clearing the streets well at all… people, buses and cars all were severely impacted

J Yee smart chick says:Chicky D, after reading your comments about how hot the area you’re in is, i.e. over 100 degrees right now, I thought to myself, what are we complaining about up here when that sounds like normal summer weather – about how long is it that hot where you’re at?
