So last night, I decided that I was going to finish my pinflair owl, I may have been up until 2am, but I'm proud that I have finished him, and he now has pride of place on my bookshelf :) This project was one that I didn't really think I would ever get around to finishing, as it was fiddly and repetitive to do, but once I got into it and started making some better progress it became much easier to motivate myself to finish him. By the time I only had the brown sequins left I would set myself little targets, by pouring a number of pins out onto the tray, and then treating myself to a cup of tea or something when all of those pins had been used!
Anyway, here he is, with no naked parts :) -
He is actually very sparkly, especially his beak and toes :) unfortunately my flat is quite dark, especially since it's winter and we're lucky to get 5 hours of daylight here! Slight exaggeration perhaps, but my other half is a doorman and works nights, so our sleeping patterns are a bit wonky. Anyway, point of that rant being, sorry about the rubbish pics! Next time we get a bit of sunlight, I will try to remember to take a picture of him to capture his sparklyness for you to see.
I have just shown my boyfriend the completed owl, and his response was - I had no idea you'd been working on that! - Clearly he has not been paying my blog as much attention as he claims hehehe.
Also, check out my funky nail art on my thumbnail, I'm loving playing around with nail polish at the moment, if you want to see this and the other designs I have tried in more detail, go here-

My next craft projects are going to be a birthday card for a friend (I cannot post this until after giving it to her this friday though, she reads my blogs, love you Genie <3) and some more christmas cards hopefully :)
blog you soon, S x
