After watching the first three episodes of the Thirteenth Doctor, I noticed that her coat has a slit in the back, so for the sake of accuracy, I added it to my miniature one. While I'm making alterations, I figured I'd put a band on the bottom of the denim jacket, for added realism. Sarah… Continue reading Project Roundup

Pots & Pans
The most recent addition to Sarah's growing kitchen is some cooking pots and saucepans. I really like the look of the finish I gave them, black lightly brushed with silver to give them a little shine. Sarah's putting them to use at the moment cooking pasta, though she and I have had many other ideas… Continue reading Pots & Pans
Grocery Shopping
Sarah's just returned from grocery shopping at the local grocers' (aka my crafting desk). She's bought pasta and sauce, for dinner, as well as more tea. You can see the little tins even have the nutrition table on the back, which are both smaller than the pad of my finger! The tea box is a… Continue reading Grocery Shopping
Seating Areas
Sadly, the foldable chairs that Sarah was hoping to get to match the dining table were gone from the op shop, but she did find these normal chairs instead that match quite well. Sarah's taken to having her morning hot drink sitting at the table, watching the garden life and the weather. The chairs are… Continue reading Seating Areas
Great Finds
While Sarah was browsing second-hand stores, she found this lovely old dining table for her apartment. It has a simple locking mechanism to keep the legs in place because it folds (pretty) flat if it needs to be stored somewhere. There were matching chairs there too, which she's going to go back and get as… Continue reading Great Finds
The Galley
Sarah's renovated galley kitchen is pretty much done! I chopped up the old freestanding units to make all the important bits fit into the box, leaving some excess bench space out for an island. The island still needs some doors, as that big white space looks a little weird next to the other doors. I… Continue reading The Galley
New Methods
In a recent Mollie Makes edition, there was an article on making miniatures for a doll's house, one of which was balls of yarn. They were made by wrapping the yarn around a small segment of straw, which is a better method than the one I used to use, and you can see the difference in… Continue reading New Methods
Project Roundup
This little shield is something I started making on impulse, just for fun. It'll make some fun photos, either way. I've also made progress on the walls of Sarah's renovated kitchen/living space, here's the exterior: and the interior so far: I want to glue the kitchen benches into the main box alcove, which is why… Continue reading Project Roundup
Cover the Walls
Sarah's notice board is finished, and she's already started putting some things up there. There's a few lists and such, and what looks like a crochet project of some kind... I also printed off some amazing fanart to put up in Sarah's room, because all empty walls need a little art, in my opinion. The… Continue reading Cover the Walls
Adjustments
Remember those bookshelf adjustments I mentioned a little while ago? Well, they're done! I added the cupboard at the bottom to elevate the shelves, as I thought they looked a little strange being shorter than Sarah. The cupboard at the bottom is faux, though if I need the storage space behind it I can always… Continue reading Adjustments
