I made this long-legged jumpsuit a while ago, as I wanted to try making a winter one-piece for Sarah, but I didn't think the long legs were quite right. So recently, I chopped off the legs to make it a summer piece. I also added lace at the bottom, which is an idea I've had… Continue reading Adjustments
Sea Pictures
Sarah and I recently took a trip to the beach for a much-needed break - these are some snapshots I took while we were up there. It was quite warm taking photos in the sun so Sarah took her hoodie off. Can you spot the surfers in the background? We also saw several ships go… Continue reading Sea Pictures
TARDIS Floor Updates
I'm making good progress on the TARDIS floor, it's gone from these black and brown outlines.... ...to this (rather dramatic) black and brown pattern.... ...to a little bit of yellow.... ...to a LOT of yellow! All it needs now is some white lines to connect the yellow areas (and break them up a little), and… Continue reading TARDIS Floor Updates
More Books
Continuing on with the book theme from my last post... Alice Oseman is an author I really like, plus the fact that her books have pretty covers equals I must make these in miniature. I haven't actually read Solitaire yet, but I would definitely recommend the other two. I love how all the covers have cohesive… Continue reading More Books
Book Haul
Usually I'd wait for more books or the end of the year before doing a book haul but in this case I'm too excited to wait. First, I've got to discuss Wayward Son! I've been anticipating the release of this since it was announced, and now I FINALLY have a copy in my own hands!!… Continue reading Book Haul
Project Roundup
I've been making progress on the TARDIS floor, having worked out a few details holding me back, this was half the floor markings done: And the entirety of the floor pattern: I've added a black border and started adding black to the shapes in the middle, I'm very excited for it to be colourful! I've… Continue reading Project Roundup
Party Bear
I made an 18th birthday gift for a friend recently, and it went from looking like this... ...it's got some facial features now! To the finished product! With the accompanying card. I sewed an '18' on the back to personalise it a little. It has a pretty cute face, I have to say. I love… Continue reading Party Bear
Kitchen Supplies pt 2
I made some mixing bowls in a variety of sizes, continuing the recent kitchen theme to my makes. A very vital kitchen supply, especially when baking, so I'm sure these will get a lot of use. Technically, this is a dining supply, but you still eat food off it, so it counts. I got rid… Continue reading Kitchen Supplies pt 2
Kitchen Supplies pt 1
I guess I've been on a bit of a kitchen kick lately, because I made some more kitchen stuff recently. There's a knife block with two knives in, a re-made baking tray, and cutlery! Finally! Four spoons and four forks. The new baking tray actually holds all the cookies when they're being baked! I think… Continue reading Kitchen Supplies pt 1
Toasted Sandwiches
There's nothing like a nice warm toasted sandwich on a cold day, so I made two! One has some chicken stir-fry in it, and I made some extra servings with the leftover mixture. Looks a delicious lunch! The other toasted sandwich is far less fancy, but just as tasty: a simple toasted cheese sandwich. Remember… Continue reading Toasted Sandwiches
