Do you remember those tomato slices I made back when I was making the sandwich fillings? Well, I made a tin for them today, courtesy of Benoit Farms & Gardens. (Note: Benoit Farms & Gardens is the fictional (sadly) farm of Scarlet Benoit from The Lunar Chronicles books by Marissa Meyer - it's a very good… Continue reading Tinned Tomatoes

Early? Nah!
It may be a little early to decorate for Christmas for some, but not me! In addition to the wreaths and tinsel on the stables, I also put some plushies I made last year on my door handle... ...as well as replacing the garland on the door. The miniature wreath is there because I haven't… Continue reading Early? Nah!
Summer Bunting
Even though summer in Australia doesn't start until December, I thought I'd make the final of Sarah's seasonal buntings. I wanted to really capture the beach in the colours, which I think I did pretty well. You can see it in the living room above the fireplace, looking snazzy. All four seasons: spring to winter… Continue reading Summer Bunting
A Short Hiatus
As you can probably see by the picture, my family and I are moving house very soon. This does mean that I won't be blogging for a few weeks, as all my crafting things are packed away in boxes, ready for the move. I'll probably still be hanging around, answering comments when I can, but… Continue reading A Short Hiatus
Let There Be Light
I finished painting a pair of lampposts recently, despite a bucketload of rain pouring down outside, which is definitely a miracle. The original tutorial for these used a white table tennis ball on top for the light, but I don't own any table tennis equipment, so I had to improvise. These lights are balled-up tissue… Continue reading Let There Be Light
Watch the Spikes
These little succulents may just be the smallest things I've ever crocheted. The two on the outside are your classic, spiky, flowering cacti, and the centre one is a succulent. Isn't the little flower bud just adorable? All the pots were made and painted for these plants. The succulent was meant to look like the… Continue reading Watch the Spikes
More Variety
To add to the variety I was aiming to get into Sarah's selection of pants, I also made this pair. This fabric is stretchy, so they have a slimmer fit, especially around the ankles. The elastic band at the top is wider than the other pair, not that it really matters. They're great for seeing… Continue reading More Variety
Spring Bunting
This is almost like a series, isn't it? "On this episode of Seasonal Bunting, it's spring!" *catchy theme tune* It nearly matches Sarah's new pants, doesn't it? Putting up the new bunting marks the change of the seasons for Sarah, and she's hopefully heading to Diagon Alley again next weekend for some flowers and plants… Continue reading Spring Bunting
Mini Pictures
I made Sarah a miniature DSLR camera, and she hasn't stopped taking pictures since. The strap is plaited thread, and I used some scraps of gold faux leather to secure it to the camera. I thought about making the strap removable, but I think that would have tested my patience beyond measure. Naturally, the strap's… Continue reading Mini Pictures
Bigger Bottles
Along with the little bottles I made for the Schleich stable, I also made some Traditional scale ones. They're the same labels, but the bottles themselves are different in some cases. Left to right: cooling spray for the clippers, hoof oil (which I made a while ago), tack soap, fly spray, tack wipes and leather… Continue reading Bigger Bottles
