I've been making some small jars recently, to be 'filled' with jam and honey, which would be delicious on toast... The honey won't be that bright, and both the lids still need painting. I can't wait to glue the labels on! I also started this little embroidery, I'm not sure if it's going to be… Continue reading Project Roundup

I finished making two new badges recently! I made them at the same time (because they're kinda similar), and I'm really happy with them, especially the one on the right. I love the different shades on the planets, and the little string of white stars meandering through. The badge collection is now up to 18… Continue reading Space

I made this long-legged jumpsuit a while ago, as I wanted to try making a winter one-piece for Sarah, but I didn't think the long legs were quite right. So recently, I chopped off the legs to make it a summer piece. I also added lace at the bottom, which is an idea I've had… Continue reading Adjustments
Party Bear
I made an 18th birthday gift for a friend recently, and it went from looking like this... ...it's got some facial features now! To the finished product! With the accompanying card. I sewed an '18' on the back to personalise it a little. It has a pretty cute face, I have to say. I love… Continue reading Party Bear
Two of Three
The second Princess Academy badge is done, one year after the first one! There's a fair bit of symbolism in this badge, all pulled directly from the book, but the main bit is the bunches of miri flowers on the sides. I want to incorporate these little pink flowers that the main character, Miri, was named… Continue reading Two of Three

I've nearly finished making another badge, this one's for the second Princess Academy book as I just finished re-reading it. I think I made the first badge over a year ago, so I'm determined to finish the trio of badges this re-read. I've also started panel 5 of the TARDIS console, which at the moment… Continue reading Project Roundup
Finished Hoop
My latest embroidery hoop is finished! I'm very pleased with it overall, but especially with the wave break, all those little knots give it great texture. I also really like this brain coral, the chain stitch worked really well. Here's the quote on the page... ...and the book the quote and story are in! It's… Continue reading Finished Hoop
Coral Growth
I believe the last time you all saw this hoop, it was just the blue of the waves and the writing. Since then, I've added a fair bit of pink in the coral side, using as many different stitches as possible. I love these bubbles, I was originally going to put a fish there but… Continue reading Coral Growth
Project Roundup
The TARDIS console is slightly further along than it is here, but I've begun painting it! I'll add a bit of orange to the yellow crystal in the centre to give it depth, and paint the underside metallic bronze. The embroidery hoop is also coming along, I've started the coral reef on the side as… Continue reading Project Roundup
Clockwork Angel
The final Infernal Devices badge is finished, and it's Tessa's clockwork angel. I would have liked to have added something above the angel, but I had the idea after it was glued to the paperboard backing. Don't they look great? You can see the background colour gradient I was going for, though I think the jump… Continue reading Clockwork Angel
