….are what I’ve been embroidering recently on my 13th Doctor hoop. After extensive research, I figured out that the flower from series 11 episode 6 is likely a daffodil, hence the asymmetrical centre of the flower. I was originally going to do French knots for the gold dots on the bow tie, but then I…… Continue reading Flowers & Bow Ties & Scarves
Wall Stencils
The Tea at Yaz’s interior is coming along; the main achievement being that we have finished walls. I wanted a pattern on the walls, so I found this stencil that looks a little like Moroccan tiles and stencilled it over the whole interior. This was the first finished wall…. ….still stencilling…. ….and all done! I…… Continue reading Wall Stencils
Occamy Pattern
Do you remember the crocheted Occamy I made back in 2017? I shared a pattern I’d written up for it, and I’ve spent today working on transferring it to a separate page that is now on the sidebar, for ease of access. Go and check it out (if you wish)! It’s just underneath the ‘About’…… Continue reading Occamy Pattern
13 Hoop
I’ve made a lot of progress on the 13th Doctor hoop! I’ve completed one…. ….two…. ….three lines of text…. ….as well as started on the surrounds. Half-finished goggles here. I’m very happy with how flat and neat the satin stitch is on these, I usually have problems with it being uneven but this is great!…… Continue reading 13 Hoop
Project Roundup
As I have limited space to store my miniature sets, I plan to re-make the Diagon Alley shops so they can store their own furniture inside. In the process, they’ll be getting a makeover, and first in line is the old Three Broomsticks. As you can see, its new owners have renamed it to Tea…… Continue reading Project Roundup
Pizza Party
“Oh, looks like it’s about to rain. Better get inside before these boxes get wet!” And what do those boxes contain? Pizza! Left to right, we have Hawaiian, vegetarian and supreme pizzas. I’m very happy with all the toppings, as some of them were very fiddly! “No, BB-8, you can’t have pizza.” I may put a…… Continue reading Pizza Party
Plant Life
I saw a tutorial video while browsing YouTube recently and thought, I must do that immediately. So, I did. This spider plant is Sarah’s – hence the colourful pot she decorated herself. I think these monstera leaves might be a little large for the size of pot they’re growing in… Oops! Maybe they have magical…… Continue reading Plant Life
Nesting Nests
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
Unboxing
“This is the new playsuit I ordered from my friend at Madam Malkins’!” I wanted to see if I could put pockets in one of Sarah’s playsuits, and Sarah also really liked this fabric. As you can probably see, these pockets aren’t actually visible from the front of the shorts, which I’m very happy with!…… Continue reading Unboxing
You’ve Got Mail
I’ve been busy assembling a variety of different-sized parcel boxes recently, for packages both great and small. The boxes match the postage tube and envelope that I made previously. Maybe we need to open a post office in Diagon Alley…. hmm…… The reason I made these is because Sarah got a delivery today! “When did…… Continue reading You’ve Got Mail
