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
Bagging Up the Bags
Sarah's bag collection has jumped up from one to three, as she made two more for herself today. The patterns were based on the Breyer bag Sarah came with, though I suggested a few changes. The corners are squared, and there's a pocket in the front for wands, phones, keys and the like. They're nice… Continue reading Bagging Up the Bags
Dumbledore’s Army
I embroidered a new badge for my growing collection, this time a little Dumbledore's Army one (from Harry Potter). I've tried a new picture idea below, I think I like it! It was hard to take because my hands were shaking a little, but I like the difference in focus. Because this badge is smaller than… Continue reading Dumbledore’s Army
S.P.E.W.
Happy New Year everyone! I hope it's going well for you so far, or at least better than the Society for the Promotion of Elfish Welfare did. The Society is from Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Hermione creates it in protest of house-elf slavery, but it's not a success. I don't think she's the… Continue reading S.P.E.W.
