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
Don’t Lettuce Down
This lettuce was definitely larger in my head, but that didn't translate to reality somehow. It may just be a pygmy lettuce. I made it by cutting a wavy edge along a strip of paper, then painting both sides with watercolours to look like lettuce leaves. It was then meant to be rolled into a… Continue reading Don’t Lettuce Down
Is This a Bit Cheesy?
At the moment, I'm slowly making containers for all the food that came from making the burgers. As you can see, I just finished the cheese container. As far as we know, there are no mice in Sarah's apartment, but that may change... If I could have made it with clear plastic, I would have,… Continue reading Is This a Bit Cheesy?
The Brewer
Most cafes I've been to have some sort of machine that makes - or brews - the drinks, so I made one for the Three Broomsticks. It's quite simple, as it's a few pieces of paper rolled around a whiteboard marker with some cardboard and beads glued on. The spout is made of beads glued… Continue reading The Brewer
Tassel Garland
I feel that the basic Three Broomsticks is done, so at the moment, I'm thinking of ways to brighten it up. This tassel garland was my first idea. They're all tied onto a long length of white plaited cord. BB8 really likes garlands, doesn't he? I wonder why that was programmed into his personality... It… Continue reading Tassel Garland
Mini Burgers
I made these little burgers with the same technique as the popcorn. Very tall, isn't it? The bun and meat patty are wet tissue balled up, like the popcorn, but the tomato, lettuce and cheese are all paper (or cardboard, in the case of the tomato). All the pieces are separate, so you could have… Continue reading Mini Burgers
Movie Night Popcorn
I made this little bowl of popcorn as an afterthought while making another item of food, which shall be on here soon. Wait - Sarah! I'm taking pictures of it! Ooh, you're watching a movie, never mind then. Carry on. None of the popcorn is actually glued into the bowl, which does mean it can… Continue reading Movie Night Popcorn
