I thought I could fit one last in-progress shot in before I show you the finished rabbit (because I completely forgot to take photos in between here and the finished product, oops!)... ...and here's the finished rabbit! Look at all those colourful, teeny stitches. Between this and the amount of reading I do, I'm surprised… Continue reading Finished Plushie

Winter/Spring Rabbit
This little rabbit plushie came with a spring issue of Mollie Makes, so perhaps I started it to hold onto some of the warm weather that's departed with the first day of winter this week. The basket-weave is laid work, which I haven't done before. I was glad to find that it's not too difficult!… Continue reading Winter/Spring Rabbit
Hats Off to Great Ideas
I made Sarah a cap that I finished this morning, and I think it suits her more than the sunhat I crocheted a while ago. The pattern came from this book I borrowed from the library, though I did have to make it a little smaller, as Barbies are larger than Sarah. Of course, BB8… Continue reading Hats Off to Great Ideas
Crochet Colours
I borrowed this book out from the library recently, and tried out some of the patterns. I made two mandalas and two flowers with various shades of yarn. The little pink mandala reminds me of this felt peony I made a while ago, the colours match really well! The second mandala has a few extra… Continue reading Crochet Colours
Hot Pink Kindness
One thing I love about free projects is the variety of things that come, because it's always fun to try something new. Cross-stitching is not new to me in any way, and I don't believe sewing on wood is either, but it is still a nice change of pace. This kit came with Mollie Makes #89, my… Continue reading Hot Pink Kindness
Still Building
A sore wrist has halted crafting for a little while, so this is about as far as I've gotten with the doll. But, it has given me plenty of time to think about how I'll construct the head, which is good! These are various foot patterns. Bottom left is what I got from Sarah's feet,… Continue reading Still Building
Body Building
My latest project will be quite a long one, as I am currently drafting a sewing pattern for a Sarah-size doll. Hopefully, this doll will have the same movement as Sarah, just be a little more realistically sized and made of fabric. The above and below pictures show the wire 'skeleton' that will go inside… Continue reading Body Building
A Badge & Reading Recommendations
My latest little badge got pushed to the front of the queue of ideas as it's inspired by the Ms Marvel comics, which I've been reading lately. I borrowed the first five Kamala Khan Ms Marvel comics from my local library, and I love them! The design is drawn directly from Kamala's Ms Marvel costume,… Continue reading A Badge & Reading Recommendations
Rebel Scum
The little Star Wars badge is finished! I just needed a few extra hours of drying time that the rain on the weekend didn't give me. The quote is from The Last Jedi, from a scene near the end which I don't want to spoil, but it's a great scene. It's my second badge that isn't a… Continue reading Rebel Scum
Another Badge
One reason I love these little badges is they're such quick makes, as I can usually whip one up in a day. This one's inspired by Magnus Chase and the Hammer of Thor, particularly Alex Fierro, who's a particularly quirky character and wears a lot of pink and green. The rune is dagaz, which represents new… Continue reading Another Badge
