The little desk area in the observatory is finished, ready to spot and document some new planets. I printed out two star maps from Google Images, the one above has both hemispheres on and the one below is just for the Southern Hemisphere. Imagine this is in a loft above Sarah's apartment, and there's a… Continue reading Sarah the Astronomer

Seeing Stars
Every good observatory has a telescope, but does every observatory have a bronze telescope? The telescope on top is modelled slightly on my grandparents' telescope, and is made from a few wooden dowels wrapped in paper. The tripod is also made from wrapped wooden dowels. And if you look up, you can see... ...that the… Continue reading Seeing Stars
Deck the Halls?
I know Sarah and I need to get onto Christmas decorations for her apartment, but I saw this video on YouTube and couldn't help myself, and then it escalated a little bit. The Santa hat does fit Sarah, but BB-8 stole it after I'd finished making it, and it kinda stuck. The pompom on the… Continue reading Deck the Halls?
From Sarah’s Fridge
It just so happened that I was making these few dairy-related foods at the same time, so I thought I'd group them into a single post. There is also a strawberry milk carton on the back of the skim milk carton, which is magically filled with strawberry milk when the label is facing forwards. The… Continue reading From Sarah’s Fridge
Stargazing
A while back now, I had the idea to make an observatory room, for stargazing and sitting under the stars while still indoors. I told myself I had other projects to complete first, but... That's the completed walls and floor of the observatory. It just kinda... happened, okay!? A navy blue armchair for the space… Continue reading Stargazing
Project Roundup
I've made two new badges recently; the red one on the right is a quote from the book Simon vs the Homo Sapiens Agenda by Becky Albertalli based on a design I saw online. The Captain Marvel one (on the left) is currently attached to a bag of mine, and I'm quite proud of it, because… Continue reading Project Roundup
Decorating
As I've been putting up Christmas decorations, Sarah's been slowly decorating her house for the season. I say slowly because she doesn't exactly have a large cardboard box's worth of decorations... yet. So she's been using what she has, which is the wreath, the crackers... … and her stocking. She and River helped with decorating the… Continue reading Decorating
Flakes
As you've probably guessed by the picture, cornflakes made it into Sarah's miniature life recently. I made three extra bowls because it's always good to have some spares hanging around for impromptu ice cream yoghurt with berries. The cornflakes are tiny squares of brown paper scrunched up and stuck in white paint, to look like… Continue reading Flakes
Project Roundup
I've been spending a lot of time rolling paper into bowls, ready to be filled with teeny portions of cereal. I've also made the cereal boxes as well as some waffle boxes. I still need to fill the bowls with cereal, and I want to make a waffle machine as well as some waffles, though… Continue reading Project Roundup
Spaghetti!
The pasta has been cooked... ...and the sauce has been made... ...ready for Sarah's first attempts at cooking savoury dishes: spaghetti! I made three little servings of pasta with sauce on top, so I can use this dish at the Three Broomsticks as well. I also made some uncooked pasta, and a serving of pasta… Continue reading Spaghetti!
