I've been making Christmas biscuits! Thankfully, the icing set in time to photograph them. There's four of each biscuit, and we've got presents, wreaths and Santa hats. I also made a jar/canister for them all (mostly so they're easy to store in the mini Christmas box). Sarah's favourites are the Santa hats! Personally, I'm proud… Continue reading Christmas Biscuits

Project Roundup
Christmas decorations went up recently! Sarah loves helping with the big tree (below), so I always make an event of it. She also decorated her apartment for the season, and put on some festive tunes on her laptop to "add to the ambiance". I've also been working on this crown. It's human-sized, and needs finishing… Continue reading Project Roundup
Star Stuff
I've been trying out some new stationery ideas recently, most of which worked! The pencil case has two sides, and I did try to add a lining, but it didn't work very well. I also repainted the coloured pencils, as the original felt tip ink was coming off. I also made this little exercise book;… Continue reading Star Stuff
Constellation Cookies
Sarah saw these in the local bakery and just had to get them, solely because they were called 'Constellation Cookies'. They're not actually made of stars, they are instead dark chocolate cookies with white choc chips. "No, BB-8, these are not for you." It seemed appropriate to snack on them up in the observatory! One… Continue reading Constellation Cookies
That’s My Jam
It's rainy and overcast where I live at the moment, which is great weather for toast! We've got a jar each of honey, strawberry jam and apricot jam. All the jars have nutrition tables and such on them. I tried to get the colour of the apricot jam as close as I could, and I… Continue reading That’s My Jam
Online Shopping
Sarah's been doing some online shopping recently, and it looks like her parcels have just arrived! (Side note: I love these! I made them specially for this post, and they look so good! I kinda want to make some boxes, and maybe another envelope.) Inside the poster tube is this lovely poster by Alice Oseman,… Continue reading Online Shopping
More Books
Continuing on with the book theme from my last post... Alice Oseman is an author I really like, plus the fact that her books have pretty covers equals I must make these in miniature. I haven't actually read Solitaire yet, but I would definitely recommend the other two. I love how all the covers have cohesive… Continue reading More Books
Project Roundup
I've been making progress on the TARDIS floor, having worked out a few details holding me back, this was half the floor markings done: And the entirety of the floor pattern: I've added a black border and started adding black to the shapes in the middle, I'm very excited for it to be colourful! I've… Continue reading Project Roundup
Kitchen Supplies pt 2
I made some mixing bowls in a variety of sizes, continuing the recent kitchen theme to my makes. A very vital kitchen supply, especially when baking, so I'm sure these will get a lot of use. Technically, this is a dining supply, but you still eat food off it, so it counts. I got rid… Continue reading Kitchen Supplies pt 2
Kitchen Supplies pt 1
I guess I've been on a bit of a kitchen kick lately, because I made some more kitchen stuff recently. There's a knife block with two knives in, a re-made baking tray, and cutlery! Finally! Four spoons and four forks. The new baking tray actually holds all the cookies when they're being baked! I think… Continue reading Kitchen Supplies pt 1
