My intent was to make only five acorns, three little ones and two big ones, but they just kept multiplying…. Whoops! Below you can see the difference between the large and small ones. They come from a Mollie Makes magazine, and they’re probably a little large to be Sarah-sized acorns! Unless you used it as a…… Continue reading Acorns

Parting the Curtains
The interior of Tea at Yaz’s is coming along slowly! I’ve made a few fabric pieces, like this curtain/divider for the doorway between the front counter and the kitchens and such. I also made some on-a-curtain-rail curtains around the front window. I’m very happy with these! I kinda want to put some in Sarah’s apartment…… Continue reading Parting the Curtains
Hoop Progress
In between life, I’ve been making progress on the 13th Doctor hoop. I’m very happy with these tassels – I combined the coloured stripes in the tassels so they matched the size of the dark blue ones. I’ll trim them down when all the embroidery is done. Then I outlined…. ….and filled in the hands…… Continue reading Hoop Progress
Birds Nests – pt 3
This week was spent making another birds’ nest. I’m using a different pattern to the first batch, as I’m testing this pattern for a how-to-crochet class I’m helping to teach. This yarn is absolutely gorgeous, I love the mottled pink and purple. Though it does make it hard to see your stitches in the first…… Continue reading Birds Nests – pt 3
Upcycling
I’ve finished upcycling the old Three Broomsticks furniture for Tea at Yaz’s! The counter has the same pattern as the walls, the glass case has a back and a frame, and it also folds flat-ish! Much easier to store now. This took a while to work out how to do. The booths also got a…… Continue reading Upcycling
Continuing Getting Started
I’ve been making a few other textbooks for different subjects studied at the same university, amongst other education-related things. This is a very basic set of textbooks, for subjects that I thought of off the top of my head. I’d love to explore more obscure subjects, like, I don’t know, magic? Languages? Cultural studies? They’ll…… Continue reading Continuing Getting Started
Getting Started
Sarah’s made a trip to Flourish & Blotts today, not to add to her collection of novels, unfortunately…. ….but to get textbooks. (And one fun book about astronomy. S: It’s a stowaway, shh.) I’ve also made some notebooks, ready to be filled with notes; I made six different colours, so I’ve got a few spares just…… Continue reading Getting Started
Flowers & Bow Ties & Scarves
….are what I’ve been embroidering recently on my 13th Doctor hoop. After extensive research, I figured out that the flower from series 11 episode 6 is likely a daffodil, hence the asymmetrical centre of the flower. I was originally going to do French knots for the gold dots on the bow tie, but then I…… Continue reading Flowers & Bow Ties & Scarves
Wall Stencils
The Tea at Yaz’s interior is coming along; the main achievement being that we have finished walls. I wanted a pattern on the walls, so I found this stencil that looks a little like Moroccan tiles and stencilled it over the whole interior. This was the first finished wall…. ….still stencilling…. ….and all done! I…… Continue reading Wall Stencils
Occamy Pattern
Do you remember the crocheted Occamy I made back in 2017? I shared a pattern I’d written up for it, and I’ve spent today working on transferring it to a separate page that is now on the sidebar, for ease of access. Go and check it out (if you wish)! It’s just underneath the ‘About’…… Continue reading Occamy Pattern
