There's a new dish being offered at the Three Broomsticks! I mean, it could be a dish. I've eaten it as a dish before. I made a version of the wraps with meat, tomato, lettuce (or spinach, or kale, though it's probably a bit light for those. But hey, imagination!), cheese, and sour cream or mayonnaise.… Continue reading Wrapping It Up

The Final Books … For Now
The final books for batch 2 are done. It's the Starbound Trilogy, which Sarah liked more than I did. The covers are gorgeous (particularly Their Fractured Light), and they're written by an Australian author, so why not support beautiful covers and Australians? This bookshelf of Sarah's is getting quite cramped, as tends to happen. Good to… Continue reading The Final Books … For Now
The Expanding Library
This batch of books I'm making is really large, as you've probably gathered by now. There are so many good ones out there, and I may or may not be planning another batch... but anyways. I've read all of Marie Lu's work, and I love her writing, especially her sci-fi stuff. You can see the… Continue reading The Expanding Library
Book Delivery
Sarah's copy of Wires & Nerve Vol 2 came yesterday, so I can finally post about this book! Eeeeeeeeeee! I received my copy from Book Depository not long after it was released, but I wanted to wait until Sarah had her copy before posting, so both copies could be in the same post. It's quite a… Continue reading Book Delivery
Adventures in Watercolours
I decided to take a slightly different approach to making the autumnal Flourish & Blotts window displays, and I had an idea for a watercoloured autumn forest scene. The background isn't the greatest, but I'm still pretty happy with it. It looks great in the windows! I love the carpet of leaves, as well as… Continue reading Adventures in Watercolours
Book Shopping
So, Sarah went book shopping this morning... ...and came home with these. She'd borrowed Renegades from the library and loved it, so put it on her wishlist. Sarah seems to prefer sci-fi or dystopia novels more than fantasy, so I'm tailoring her bookshelf to suit her interests. I read more fantasy than sci-fi/dystopia, so I've… Continue reading Book Shopping
Cyber Sarah
So, Sarah now has a laptop and a smartphone. They both come from a MyFroggyStuff printable, and I put sticky tape over the laptop screen, so it reflects the sun annoyingly, just like a real laptop! You can see how small the phone is here, I went a little cross-eyed making it. The sides were… Continue reading Cyber Sarah
Cashing In
Naturally, being a bookstore, Flourish & Blotts needs a counter for visitors to adopt books from. The middle shelf is filled with notebooks, because using parchment all the time seems a bit ridiculous to me. Besides, there might be Muggle-borns who visit and just want notebooks for schoolwork. The bottom shelf lifts out (once the… Continue reading Cashing In
Sarah’s Stocking
I made Sarah a stocking not long ago, with felt, sequins, and a little bit of ribbon. It's hollow, so you could put a very small gift inside. I believe this is where stockings normally reside, over the fireplace? *checks Google Images* Yeah, I think so. 😀 In other news, Sarah's gift this year is… Continue reading Sarah’s Stocking
Food Dishes
In between all the Christmas crafting I've been doing (that may or may not involve a gift for a certain someone...), I made some clear dishes for holding assorted foodstuffs. They have removable lids made of paperboard from a cereal box, and the dishes themselves are made of clear plastic from an old Breyer box.… Continue reading Food Dishes
