I found this cross-stitch kit in an old box a few months ago, and I decided to start it this week. Here’s the first thread complete…. ….and a bit more done. Tiffany and I are also making a list of all the little bits & pieces I need to make to finish off Needle &…… Continue reading Project Roundup

The cabinetry in Needle & Thread is done! This one on the right will be filled with fat quarters…. ….and this one will be filled with yarn. I have a plan for filling this with yarn, but I’m still working out how to do the fat quarters. I’ve also been crocheting a new amigurumi pattern,…… Continue reading Project Roundup

I love stocking up on yarn for a project, especially when it’s a project this colourful! This pile of rainbow yarn turned into these gloves for a family friend. I crocheted around the thumbhole to neaten the edge, and (hopefully!) to hold it together for longer. I’ve also started the front façade of the new…… Continue reading Project Roundup

I’ve been making lots of progress on the embroidered zipper pouch this past week. Nearly there…. ….and it’s finished! I love the pathway, using negative space is definitely something I’d do again. Just have to work out what I’m doing with the other side now! I’m also making another of Sarah’s friends; I made the…… Continue reading Project Roundup

I’ve made three large pots for Tea at Yaz’s, seen here with the smaller pot for scale, so now they’re all ready for Petra to plant some plants in. I also finished adjusting her grey pants! I made the legs slimmer, put on a new waistband and made the elastic inside tighter to stop them…… Continue reading Project Roundup

I was randomly struck with the motivation to crochet something, so I made an autumn garland, which has been on my list for a few years now! I used Attic24’s beech leaf pattern for the leaves, and I…… Continue reading Project Roundup

First, a quick project – this was my desk pin tin and pincushion, and it had had this ugly, yellow sponge on the top for a while. Half an hour later, and I’ve switched the sponge out with a nice, blue pincushion, stuffed with various fabric scraps I found in my bin. I think that…… Continue reading Project Roundup

Guess what I’m attempting again! It’s fabric dolls. This is the muslin that I’m using to test out the pattern and experiment with techniques, if necessary. The actual dolls will be made with some nice cotton. All ready for assembly! (I had to.) I’ve also finally settled on a Carry On badge design, which I think…… Continue reading Project Roundup

As I have limited space to store my miniature sets, I plan to re-make the Diagon Alley shops so they can store their own furniture inside. In the process, they’ll be getting a makeover, and first in line is the old Three Broomsticks. As you can see, its new owners have renamed it to Tea…… Continue reading Project Roundup

I’ve been meaning to replace the hood on Sarah’s 13th Doctor coat for a while, as it was originally made with too-small scraps, and I finally got round to it. This new one sits much better over the shoulders, and it fits over her head! I’m also making another birds’ nest in this orange yarn,…… Continue reading Project Roundup
