Bird Watching is Fun

...as long as the birds remain outside.

Had a bird in my house.

I spent alllllllll morning trying to catch it.

First, I went looking for a solution online;

How to catch a wild bird in your house

The only problem, I am a squealing kind of girl when wild creatures are swooping around over my head apparently.

I ended up catching it with a tote and a shoebox.

Hot Glue Gun Snowman

I saw this pin before the holidays, and thought it was cute.

The instructions are fairly easy, you tie a piece of string and then shoot out the hot glue around it. While it is still warm, you add beads for the eyes and a little piece of pipe cleaner for the nose.

Obviously, you have to work quickly. 

Mine was not exactly a snowman.

I made Cassandra from Dr Who as part of a swap. (Dr Who Crafts swap.)

I wiggled the dried piece to get the crackled effect. 

As you can tell, the inner ring of glue was partially dry by the time I added the second ring. (Lost time while adding a new glue stick.)

I think this would be solved if you either have a better glue gun or were quicker about refilling it. Mine is sooooo slow. 

This became a magnet.
