I’ve made a lot of progress on the 13th Doctor hoop! I’ve completed one…. ….two…. ….three lines of text…. ….as well as started on the surrounds. Half-finished goggles here. I’m very happy with how flat and neat the satin stitch is on these, I usually have problems with it being uneven but this is great!…… Continue reading 13 Hoop

Project Roundup
As I have limited space to store my miniature sets, I plan to re-make the Diagon Alley shops so they can store their own furniture inside. In the process, they’ll be getting a makeover, and first in line is the old Three Broomsticks. As you can see, its new owners have renamed it to Tea…… Continue reading Project Roundup
Pizza Party
“Oh, looks like it’s about to rain. Better get inside before these boxes get wet!” And what do those boxes contain? Pizza! Left to right, we have Hawaiian, vegetarian and supreme pizzas. I’m very happy with all the toppings, as some of them were very fiddly! “No, BB-8, you can’t have pizza.” I may put a…… Continue reading Pizza Party
Plant Life
I saw a tutorial video while browsing YouTube recently and thought, I must do that immediately. So, I did. This spider plant is Sarah’s – hence the colourful pot she decorated herself. I think these monstera leaves might be a little large for the size of pot they’re growing in… Oops! Maybe they have magical…… Continue reading Plant Life
Nesting Nests
Since the last time I posted about these, I’ve made three more nests to make a, er, nesting set of nests for the Australian bushfire recovery effort. This blue one is the most recent one. This orange one is the largest, and if there weren’t animals that needed it, it could be used as a…… Continue reading Nesting Nests
Unboxing
“This is the new playsuit I ordered from my friend at Madam Malkins’!” I wanted to see if I could put pockets in one of Sarah’s playsuits, and Sarah also really liked this fabric. As you can probably see, these pockets aren’t actually visible from the front of the shorts, which I’m very happy with!…… Continue reading Unboxing
You’ve Got Mail
I’ve been busy assembling a variety of different-sized parcel boxes recently, for packages both great and small. The boxes match the postage tube and envelope that I made previously. Maybe we need to open a post office in Diagon Alley…. hmm…… The reason I made these is because Sarah got a delivery today! “When did…… Continue reading You’ve Got Mail
Pillars of Completion…?
When I mentioned ‘minor adjustments’ I wanted to make to the TARDIS, I meant I wanted to update the pillars, as they were finished in a rush. They’re now significantly taller, and closed at the end, which looks so much better than having them open! These bases also mean this set is as close to…… Continue reading Pillars of Completion…?
Project Roundup
I’ve been meaning to replace the hood on Sarah’s 13th Doctor coat for a while, as it was originally made with too-small scraps, and I finally got round to it. This new one sits much better over the shoulders, and it fits over her head! The obligatory recreating-the-promo-pics….. picture. I’m also making another birds’ nest…… Continue reading Project Roundup
Birds’ Nests
In Australia at the moment, there are a lot of very bad bushfires, and to assist with the rehabilitation, wildlife centres are asking for donations of crocheted birds’ nests, like the ones below. They’ll hold baby animals (not just birds!) that have been rescued from the fires and make them feel comfortable while they’re being…… Continue reading Birds’ Nests
