Well all i can say is, it's a good job i'm not walking in to work this morning, because I wouldn't have had time to write this!
My desk today (well, 6am.)
I am so tired, I just tried to post this picture as a link. Doh! These are my Parliament of Tupenny owls that i found in a book called Microcrafts from the library. They are called 'tupenny owls', because after the first one I made came out to lightweight and floaty, I stuffed the rest of the owls with a two pence piece each to give them some weight. A great use for fabric scraps. I've just speed wrapped all 24 owls into trios and gave them all a name (In this shot, we see Octavia, Orla and Odysseus). I'm giving them to some of the part timers at work and to a couple of friends I know would appreciate them. They have a large length of 3mm black grosgrain ribbon by which to tie them to things and decorate an area with. I love owls.
The mystery tins get revealed a week today! The reason why I've opted for a comfy bus ride this morning over a 3 1/2 hour walk in the cold and dark, is so that I can transport all the mystery tins to my colleagues. It also means, and this was not planned at all, that I will be able to swing by Nero's for something nice to drink before starting work. I am looking forward to a complete day off tomorrow (NO INFERNAL ALARM CLOCK!) so I can put my playroom back together and take stock of what presents are going where in the upcoming days.
See you all next week for the big reveal (So as not to give the game away for
Fairy Thoughts)!
