We're just starting out with these pillars... ...nearly there... ...and they're done! These pillars surround the console kinda like trees that are very yellow and don't have any branches. I painted on some shadows to add some depth, though I do think they could be a little lighter in colour. I just need to do… Continue reading Pillars

Project Roundup
I've mainly been working on the TARDIS recently, specifically these pillars for the corners. There's six of them that need painting, which takes ages to do. In-between painting pillars, I've been teaching myself corner-to-corner crochet. I've only done this little square at the moment, but I definitely want to do more. It's lots of fun,… Continue reading Project Roundup
That’s My Jam
It's rainy and overcast where I live at the moment, which is great weather for toast! We've got a jar each of honey, strawberry jam and apricot jam. All the jars have nutrition tables and such on them. I tried to get the colour of the apricot jam as close as I could, and I… Continue reading That’s My Jam
Flooring Finished!
Since you've last seen it, the TARDIS floor has had a few small but vital additions. These include the little white lines on the yellow bits, and these strips of cardboard ready to be covered in dark blue paper. They've been glued around the edge of the floor. I don't have a lot of black… Continue reading Flooring Finished!
Project Roundup
I've been making some small jars recently, to be 'filled' with jam and honey, which would be delicious on toast... The honey won't be that bright, and both the lids still need painting. I can't wait to glue the labels on! I also started this little embroidery, I'm not sure if it's going to be… Continue reading Project Roundup
Online Shopping
Sarah's been doing some online shopping recently, and it looks like her parcels have just arrived! (Side note: I love these! I made them specially for this post, and they look so good! I kinda want to make some boxes, and maybe another envelope.) Inside the poster tube is this lovely poster by Alice Oseman,… Continue reading Online Shopping
Adjustments
I made this long-legged jumpsuit a while ago, as I wanted to try making a winter one-piece for Sarah, but I didn't think the long legs were quite right. So recently, I chopped off the legs to make it a summer piece. I also added lace at the bottom, which is an idea I've had… Continue reading Adjustments
Sea Pictures
Sarah and I recently took a trip to the beach for a much-needed break - these are some snapshots I took while we were up there. It was quite warm taking photos in the sun so Sarah took her hoodie off. Can you spot the surfers in the background? We also saw several ships go… Continue reading Sea Pictures
TARDIS Floor Updates
I'm making good progress on the TARDIS floor, it's gone from these black and brown outlines.... ...to this (rather dramatic) black and brown pattern.... ...to a little bit of yellow.... ...to a LOT of yellow! All it needs now is some white lines to connect the yellow areas (and break them up a little), and… Continue reading TARDIS Floor Updates
More Books
Continuing on with the book theme from my last post... Alice Oseman is an author I really like, plus the fact that her books have pretty covers equals I must make these in miniature. I haven't actually read Solitaire yet, but I would definitely recommend the other two. I love how all the covers have cohesive… Continue reading More Books
