So, the improved coffee machine doesn’t look like much from this side…. ….but it does from the other side! I worked off an image of a real-life, working coffee machine to get the details right. There are a few libreties taken, but I’m so much happier with this version. This is the milk frother steam…… Continue reading Coffee Machine Update

New Teas at Tea at Yaz’s
Tea at Yaz’s Quality Teas is debuting two new teas (and one packaging re-design) for the completion of their renovations! From left to right, we have Chai, Earl Grey, and Green. Sharp-eyed readers may note that Earl Grey’s box used to be the same blue as the Chai box – that is true, but I…… Continue reading New Teas at Tea at Yaz’s
Tea at Yaz’s Details Pt 1
With the completion of the lattices, Tea at Yaz’s is so close to being done (or at least, in a state where I’m happy). I’ve been assembling some more tea boxes, filling some gaps in the range and re-designing one of the teas. This coffee machine also needs a facelift – having seen life-sized coffee…… Continue reading Tea at Yaz’s Details Pt 1
Vines to Conceal Secrets
The booth-dividing lattice is complete! Petra potted up the vines yesterday, two to a pot…. ….and they grew some leaves overnight. (IRL, they are crocheted vines – I sewed the stems onto the lattice with brown thread, then stitched the leaves to the stems.) (Under the “dirt” is coiled felt that the ends of the…… Continue reading Vines to Conceal Secrets
In Progress
First of all, an update on the blanket: I’ve finished three of the seven stripes, and just started the fourth. This purple stripe will go in the centre of the blanket, so when this is done, I’ll be over halfway through! In Tea at Yaz’s news, I have made (one of) the lattice(s) that will…… Continue reading In Progress
Tea at Yaz’s Updates
Last time you saw Tea at Yaz’s was last year, and a few things have changed since then. First and most importantly (according to Petra) are the hanging baskets. She’s planted them all with these trailing, flowering vines, which look lovely. Obviously, there’s these two beside the counter, and there’s one on the wall beside…… Continue reading Tea at Yaz’s Updates
Christmas Refresh
I’ve had these decorative presents for a while, but they are starting to get a bit faded with time and use. Fortunately, Needle and Thread have a few bolt-ends of Christmassy fabric to use up! Looking good! “Here, pass them to me Tiff, so you don’t have to bend down,” They look good! The folds…… Continue reading Christmas Refresh
Fresh Counter & Booths
In the background of all these yarncrafts and life-sized makes, Tea at Yaz’s has been slowly chugging along. I’ve given the counter a makeover to match the rest of the interiors! It’s got matching tiles (obviously), as well as a nice dark countertop, and a new frame around the window case. The booth table has…… Continue reading Fresh Counter & Booths
Floored
Tea at Yaz’s has new floors! (Hence the title.) I am quite happy with these tiles – I made the pattern with a photo I took of real life tiled floors. I’ve also been finishing off the walls, by adding things like proper doorways. This one leads to the kitchen of Tea at Yaz’s, which…… Continue reading Floored
Tea at Yaz’s Updates
Tea at Yaz’s walls have been (mostly) re-painted! I do need to add things like windowframes around the window, and the new doorway behind Petra above. But the majority of the work is done. We’re both really happy with the tiles – they look fantastic! I designed them myself, based on the geometric way Islamic…… Continue reading Tea at Yaz’s Updates
