As it's currently the middle of summer here, Sarah and I needed a little break from crafting so we went to the beach. We got ice cream (as you do when at the coast), and wandered down to a picnic table near the shore. The beach was near a marina, so there were plenty of… Continue reading Sarah by the Sea

Flourishing Blotts
The front of Flourish & Blotts is finished, with a hand-lettered sign. I wrote out the shop name by hand because none of the fonts on my computer had the flourish I wanted underneath the R in Flourish. Inside's coming along as well. This is one of the shelves of books for sale, you can… Continue reading Flourishing Blotts
Project Roundup
I've had the idea for Hogwarts house bunting bouncing around in my head since I finished the Three Broomsticks, and not long ago I did the maths to figure out just how many flags I'd have to make. It's 100, 25 for each house. 12 down, 88 to go! I also started on the front… Continue reading Project Roundup
13th Doctor Outfit
Sarah's gift for Christmas this year was a 13th Doctor cosplay, according to the official image released by the BBC. She loves it. You can see the enormous pockets as well as the black hem at the bottom here. I painted the coat fabric with acrylics to get the right colour, as it's a bit… Continue reading 13th Doctor Outfit
Happy Christmas
Have a great day today, whether you celebrate or not. (Sarah got a 13th Doctor outfit. She loves it.) See ya! FillieFanatic
Sarah’s Stocking
I made Sarah a stocking not long ago, with felt, sequins, and a little bit of ribbon. It's hollow, so you could put a very small gift inside. I believe this is where stockings normally reside, over the fireplace? *checks Google Images* Yeah, I think so. 😀 In other news, Sarah's gift this year is… Continue reading Sarah’s Stocking
Food Dishes
In between all the Christmas crafting I've been doing (that may or may not involve a gift for a certain someone...), I made some clear dishes for holding assorted foodstuffs. They have removable lids made of paperboard from a cereal box, and the dishes themselves are made of clear plastic from an old Breyer box.… Continue reading Food Dishes
Tinned Tomatoes
Do you remember those tomato slices I made back when I was making the sandwich fillings? Well, I made a tin for them today, courtesy of Benoit Farms & Gardens. (Note: Benoit Farms & Gardens is the fictional (sadly) farm of Scarlet Benoit from The Lunar Chronicles books by Marissa Meyer - it's a very good… Continue reading Tinned Tomatoes
Not Cracker-lacking
The process of drafting a pattern for Sarah-scale Christmas crackers is not simple. I based all these patterns on one that came in a Mollie Makes freebie a while ago. My first pattern and its result is on the right, and it didn't work because I don't believe triangular crackers are sold conventionally. (If I'm wrong,… Continue reading Not Cracker-lacking
Project Roundup
I'm making good progress on the life-size Christmas wreath, all the individual elements are done, they just need to be sewn on. I also put fold-down awnings on all the Diagon Alley windows, to add a 3rd dimension to what was previously a flat facade. (I also made the Three Broomsticks external windows yellow, as… Continue reading Project Roundup
