Sarah's gift for Christmas this year was a 13th Doctor cosplay, according to the official image released by the BBC. She loves it. You can see the enormous pockets as well as the black hem at the bottom here. I painted the coat fabric with acrylics to get the right colour, as it's a bit… Continue reading 13th Doctor Outfit

Happy Christmas
Have a great day today, whether you celebrate or not. (Sarah got a 13th Doctor outfit. She loves it.) See ya! FillieFanatic
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
The Return of the Blogger
Hello again! I'm back from hiatus, with a completed crochet wreath to show you all. I actually started this prior to the hiatus, and only had one or two more flowers to make before it was finished. I was finally able to make the last flowers this weekend. I scavenged the flower patterns from a… Continue reading The Return of the Blogger
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
Sweet Key Chains
I finished this little key chain this morning, and I do think it's very sweet. (Hehe! I had to.) It's on one of those horrible split rings that break your nails when you try to open them, however this one wasn't that bad, probably because it's new. It was a freebie with my latest Mollie Makes… Continue reading Sweet Key Chains
Night Triumphant
I love churning these little badges out, they're so quick and satisfying to make. This one is also inspired by a Sarah J Maas series. I wanted a different coloured background, so I painted this corner of the fabric before tracing the design onto it. If you look carefully, you can see the pencil marks… Continue reading Night Triumphant
Finishing Experiments
I finished another of the little circular badges today, and this one is inspired by the Throne of Glass series by Sarah J Maas. The antlers are in green because green is one of the official colours for Terrasen, which is the country where the main character is from in the book. I used a different technique… Continue reading Finishing Experiments
The Empty Cup
Do you remember the page in my ideas book that had all those badge/button designs? I recently finished making the first one! I'm experimenting with how I'm going to secure the muslin fronts to the felt backing, and this is one option. Pros include that I know the muslin won't come off because it's not… Continue reading The Empty Cup
Contrasting Shorts
While I was making the flowery shirt not long ago, I had the idea to use the same fabric to make a pair of summer shorts, as Sarah only had one denim pair for all of summer. They're a little longer than the denim pair, to give her options. We have a bougainvillea vine in… Continue reading Contrasting Shorts
