One thing I knew I wanted to upgrade in renovating Tea at Yaz’s was the coffee machine: the old one was more of an urn, whereas this is more the sort in a coffee shop. As you can see, there’s space for three cups; I also added the grille under the cups and a small…… Continue reading Barista Coffee

Sunflower
In an effort to make Petra an entire outfit that fits, I made her this pair of green overalls. She and I both love the sunflower embroidered onto this pocket (which is functional!). It’s very much in line with her gardener aesthetic! (We were going for the cover of Vogue here.) Then Petra saw this big…… Continue reading Sunflower
Tea Boxes
Tea at Yaz’s now has its own line of tea! I made the designs for these little boxes myself, which was a long process of trial and error. There are 10 different boxes: hibiscus, rooibos, chamomile, peppermint, strawberry, earl grey, black, ginger, lavender and hot chocolate. On the back, there is a teeny tiny nutrition…… Continue reading Tea Boxes
Project Roundup
These little boxes have been in the works for so long now, I’m so close to finishing them! I was randomly struck with the motivation to crochet something, so I made an autumn garland, which has been on my list for a few years now! I used Attic24’s beech leaf pattern for the leaves, and I…… Continue reading Project Roundup
The First of Many
Petra has a new jumper! The first of many, I’m sure. I adjusted the pattern a little to make it fit better, and Petra and I are both very happy with the results! As a result of the adjustments, the sleeves are longer and the body piece is slimmer, which makes the neck less gapey.…… Continue reading The First of Many
Curries
Tea at Yaz’s has another addition to the menu – curries! I also made some spice jars for the Tea at Yaz’s pantry too; left to right there is curry powder, chilli powder, and cinnamon. On the left is yellow beef curry, and on the right is butter chicken. I’m very pleased with how the…… Continue reading Curries
Sarah’s Birthday
Yesterday was Sarah’s birthday. As BB-8 is getting a little rusty around the edges, and as Sarah’s world expands, I want to introduce a new android: This is Chip! Chip is a house android, basically a Roomba that doesn’t clean. Chip’s head can swivel because it’s mounted on this rod that allows them to get…… Continue reading Sarah’s Birthday
Meet Petra
The new doll I mentioned in the last post is complete – meet Petra Zapalla! She likes plants and gardening, as well as travelling to new places, especially if they have cool gardens or forests to wander in. Her collection of jumpers is rivalled only by Sarah’s collection of T-shirts. She lives above Tea at…… Continue reading Meet Petra
Project Roundup
First, a quick project – this was my desk pin tin and pincushion, and it had had this ugly, yellow sponge on the top for a while. Half an hour later, and I’ve switched the sponge out with a nice, blue pincushion, stuffed with various fabric scraps I found in my bin. I think that…… Continue reading Project Roundup
Lola’s Dress
The first thing I did after my initial post about this doll was tame that hair a little! I tied it back with a strip of pink jersey fabric. In other news, Lola has a dress! Now she doesn’t have to borrow Sarah’s clothes, which is wonderful. Of course, it has pockets, and a cute…… Continue reading Lola’s Dress
