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
Stargazing
A while back now, I had the idea to make an observatory room, for stargazing and sitting under the stars while still indoors. I told myself I had other projects to complete first, but... That's the completed walls and floor of the observatory. It just kinda... happened, okay!? A navy blue armchair for the space… Continue reading Stargazing
Project Roundup
I've made two new badges recently; the red one on the right is a quote from the book Simon vs the Homo Sapiens Agenda by Becky Albertalli based on a design I saw online. The Captain Marvel one (on the left) is currently attached to a bag of mine, and I'm quite proud of it, because… Continue reading Project Roundup
Sarah’s New Friend
You've probably seen this first picture and guessed (very accurately) what this post is about, so I won't go into that. I will say that this was a lot of fun to make. I love the bright colours and gold thread on the blanket, even though the gold thread was a pain to sew with.… Continue reading Sarah’s New Friend
Decorating
As I've been putting up Christmas decorations, Sarah's been slowly decorating her house for the season. I say slowly because she doesn't exactly have a large cardboard box's worth of decorations... yet. So she's been using what she has, which is the wreath, the crackers... … and her stocking. She and River helped with decorating the… Continue reading Decorating
Try New Things
In a doll sewing book I have, I saw a pattern for a long-sleeved jumpsuit. I thought I'd adapt the idea slightly by sewing two of Sarah's garments together to make one more suited for the Australian heat. It might be just about the easiest new piece of clothing I've made! It's the perfect little… Continue reading Try New Things
Hanging Around
These photos show the progression of a recent Mollie Makes freebie project, which was originally a necklace (the big white bit at the top was for folding over the chain). And here's the finished embroidery, which I made into a mini wall hanging, tadaaa! I really like the little vines at the top, especially the little… Continue reading Hanging Around
Working Pockets!
I finally got working pockets on the shorts! They're not as neat as I'd like, and the holes are perhaps a little large, but I'm still happy. Sarah really needed these shorts, as it's getting up to 37ºC here (98.6ºF). I don't know if I'll make a third pair that aren't denim yet, unless I… Continue reading Working Pockets!
Flakes
As you've probably guessed by the picture, cornflakes made it into Sarah's miniature life recently. I made three extra bowls because it's always good to have some spares hanging around for impromptu ice cream yoghurt with berries. The cornflakes are tiny squares of brown paper scrunched up and stuck in white paint, to look like… Continue reading Flakes
Brighten the Black
In a mad rush of inspiration, I've been doing a little crochet lately. "I wonder what these weird bowl things will be?" I hear you ask. Well, they turned into headphone covers for my very black, very boring headphones. I wanted to use some yarn left over from a Mollie Makes kit, but I barely… Continue reading Brighten the Black
