Since the last time I posted about these, I’ve made three more nests to make a, er, nesting set of nests for the Australian bushfire recovery effort. This blue one is the most recent one. This orange one is the largest, and if there weren’t animals that needed it, it could be used as a…… Continue reading Nesting Nests

Project Roundup
I’ve been meaning to replace the hood on Sarah’s 13th Doctor coat for a while, as it was originally made with too-small scraps, and I finally got round to it. This new one sits much better over the shoulders, and it fits over her head! The obligatory recreating-the-promo-pics….. picture. I’m also making another birds’ nest…… Continue reading Project Roundup
Birds’ Nests
In Australia at the moment, there are a lot of very bad bushfires, and to assist with the rehabilitation, wildlife centres are asking for donations of crocheted birds’ nests, like the ones below. They’ll hold baby animals (not just birds!) that have been rescued from the fires and make them feel comfortable while they’re being…… Continue reading Birds’ Nests
Project Roundup
The TARDIS walls are coming along nicely! I should be on schedule to have them finished by the start of season 12 on New Year’s Day. I thought this looked really cool, with the light blue against black. Big stack of hexagons ready to go on the walls, like the picture below: Above is where…… Continue reading Project Roundup
Marvel-ous Bag Tag
I'm pretty sure you've seen this before, I originally made it as a badge before I finessed my technique. However, you definitely haven't seen the other side! The old Captain America shield badge has been turned into a bag tag, with this Winter Soldier circle on the other side. And the loop on the top.… Continue reading Marvel-ous Bag Tag
Project Roundup
This is pretty much the Doctor Who edition of Project Roundup, as both of the things I'm working on at the moment are Doctor Who related! First, I decided to crochet the scarf the Doctor wears in the New Years special, so I went out and colour-matched as best as I could... ...and I'm now nearly… Continue reading Project Roundup
Scarves in Summer
In the promotional pictures for the Doctor Who New Year's special, the Doctor is seen wearing a colourful scarf. Much like this miniature one I made, funnily enough! The rainbow design is as close as I could get it to the original scarf. I like the tassels on the end - I've never put tassels… Continue reading Scarves in Summer
Four Years
Four years on, and this little blog is still going strong! I'm very proud, and very thankful to all my readers, whether you started reading yesterday or at the first post. I can't wait to see where the next four years takes us! FillieFanatic
New Methods
In a recent Mollie Makes edition, there was an article on making miniatures for a doll's house, one of which was balls of yarn. They were made by wrapping the yarn around a small segment of straw, which is a better method than the one I used to use, and you can see the difference in… Continue reading New Methods
Mandala Success!
Previously, when I've tried to crochet mandalas, they haven't really turned out very well. Perhaps it's because I don't read the pattern properly all the time, but when I make a successful mandala, it's a small cause for celebration. I like the colours in this mandala, it looks very spring-y, unlike the cold, rainy weather… Continue reading Mandala Success!
