After one year and 170 hexagons, the TARDIS set is, finally, COMPLETE. Just quietly, there are still bits I want to nitpick, but I won’t talk about those because it’s FINISHED and I need a break. ;D Sarah loves it just as much as I do, and she’s very excited to go exploring in it!…… Continue reading Complete TARDIS!

New Year, New Books
With Christmas comes gifts, and in my case, a lot of those are books. Below are all the books I acquired in the second half of 2019 – thank you! These were all gifted to me except the two Heartstopper books – I bought them myself. Sarah also received books this year – she’s been…… Continue reading New Year, New Books
Project Roundup
The TARDIS walls are coming along nicely! I should be on schedule to have them finished by the start of season 12 on New Year’s Day. I thought this looked really cool, with the light blue against black. Big stack of hexagons ready to go on the walls, like the picture below: Above is where…… Continue reading Project Roundup
Christmas Biscuits
I've been making Christmas biscuits! Thankfully, the icing set in time to photograph them. There's four of each biscuit, and we've got presents, wreaths and Santa hats. I also made a jar/canister for them all (mostly so they're easy to store in the mini Christmas box). Sarah's favourites are the Santa hats! Personally, I'm proud… Continue reading Christmas Biscuits
Smooth Summer
The Three Broomsticks has brought out some new drinks to (try to) battle the heat! It's super hot at the moment, so Sarah requested some smoothies to cool down. I made four flavours: mango, strawberry, apple and banana & blueberry. They've all got little paper straws too - I'm very proud of these! I made… Continue reading Smooth Summer
Off Duty Elf
You know the whole 'ugly Christmas jumper' thing the Northern Hemisphere has? Well, I wanted to try making one, but as it's summer in Australia, I had to modify the idea a little to make an 'ugly Christmas T-shirt'. I didn't do very well on the 'ugly' part - I think it looks quite nice!… Continue reading Off Duty Elf
Star Stuff
I've been trying out some new stationery ideas recently, most of which worked! The pencil case has two sides, and I did try to add a lining, but it didn't work very well. I also repainted the coloured pencils, as the original felt tip ink was coming off. I also made this little exercise book;… Continue reading Star Stuff
Constellation Cookies
Sarah saw these in the local bakery and just had to get them, solely because they were called 'Constellation Cookies'. They're not actually made of stars, they are instead dark chocolate cookies with white choc chips. "No, BB-8, these are not for you." It seemed appropriate to snack on them up in the observatory! One… Continue reading Constellation Cookies
Lots of Hexagons
The TARDIS walls are going well! I suspected the main problem with these walls would be the amount of time it would take to prepare/glue on/paint all the little hexagons, and I was right. I have two more pieces of the above white cardboard, all cut up into hexagons. My templates are below; there are… Continue reading Lots of Hexagons
Lightless Lights
I've been doing some major surgery on the Diagon Alley streetlights recently. I've been beheading them to make way for these new lights! I've spent months trying to figure out how to make these, and the answer finally came to me a few weeks ago. The tops are removable, so I could put a small… Continue reading Lightless Lights
