I've wanted to make a miniature denim jacket for a while now, and I only got around to it not long ago. However, I was tossing up between embroidering something colourful on the back or sewing a lace flower on. I ended up going with the lace flower. I embroidered all the paneling details in… Continue reading Denim & Daisies

Spring Bunting
This is almost like a series, isn't it? "On this episode of Seasonal Bunting, it's spring!" *catchy theme tune* It nearly matches Sarah's new pants, doesn't it? Putting up the new bunting marks the change of the seasons for Sarah, and she's hopefully heading to Diagon Alley again next weekend for some flowers and plants… Continue reading Spring Bunting
Fancy Pants
I noticed recently that Sarah's choice of pants was rather limited. There's not a lot of colour or variety in there, is there? Thus, these came into life. I made them in a cotton flowery print and they're ever so slightly loose, to accommodate for the fact that cotton doesn't stretch. I'm quite proud of… Continue reading Fancy Pants
Mini Pictures
I made Sarah a miniature DSLR camera, and she hasn't stopped taking pictures since. The strap is plaited thread, and I used some scraps of gold faux leather to secure it to the camera. I thought about making the strap removable, but I think that would have tested my patience beyond measure. Naturally, the strap's… Continue reading Mini Pictures
Artist’s Supplies
In addition to the box of horse supplies, I also re-painted the box for Sarah's art stuff. There are a few paint stains, as you can see. I even put a few on the inside, because someone has probably knocked it over accidentally with an open paint tube inside at some point. I feel this… Continue reading Artist’s Supplies
Bigger Bottles
Along with the little bottles I made for the Schleich stable, I also made some Traditional scale ones. They're the same labels, but the bottles themselves are different in some cases. Left to right: cooling spray for the clippers, hoof oil (which I made a while ago), tack soap, fly spray, tack wipes and leather… Continue reading Bigger Bottles
Magazine Boxes
Sarah's magazines have been getting a wee bit messy just loose on the shelf, so I made some magazine boxes for them. The box came from a Desktop Stables printable, and the model horse magazines and catalogue came with the template, so I thought I'd make those as well. Why not? The boxes are made… Continue reading Magazine Boxes
Granny Square Day
Today is Granny Square Day, and the idea behind it is that you create and/or post a picture of a granny square online, so that there is a virtual granny square blanket across the internet. This wonderful lady created the day, and I thought it'd be fun to bring out the rainbow granny square blanket… Continue reading Granny Square Day
Inspiration
I thought I'd do something different today, and give you guys a little look inside the book I use to record all my creative ideas. Please don't steal any of these designs, although you may take inspiration from them, crediting me where you can. Thanks! The very bright cover, which I really like, I believe… Continue reading Inspiration
Red Riding Hood
I didn't really have a use in mind when I made this cloak, apart from 'just to see if I can'. I guess sometimes you do need those sort of projects, though. It clasps in the front with a simple hook and eye, and it's bordered with a darker red yarn. The swirling designs on… Continue reading Red Riding Hood
