So, Sarah went book shopping this morning... ...and came home with these. She'd borrowed Renegades from the library and loved it, so put it on her wishlist. Sarah seems to prefer sci-fi or dystopia novels more than fantasy, so I'm tailoring her bookshelf to suit her interests. I read more fantasy than sci-fi/dystopia, so I've… Continue reading Book Shopping
Blooming Embroidery
My newest Mollie Makes arrived not long ago, and I'd been anticipating this issue because of this beautiful kit that came with it. It's by an Etsy shop called Brynn & Co, who sell embroidery kits and supplies. The kit came with everything in the picture below except the scissors, those I've had for a while.… Continue reading Blooming Embroidery
A Badge & Reading Recommendations
My latest little badge got pushed to the front of the queue of ideas as it's inspired by the Ms Marvel comics, which I've been reading lately. I borrowed the first five Kamala Khan Ms Marvel comics from my local library, and I love them! The design is drawn directly from Kamala's Ms Marvel costume,… Continue reading A Badge & Reading Recommendations
Cyber Sarah
So, Sarah now has a laptop and a smartphone. They both come from a MyFroggyStuff printable, and I put sticky tape over the laptop screen, so it reflects the sun annoyingly, just like a real laptop! You can see how small the phone is here, I went a little cross-eyed making it. The sides were… Continue reading Cyber Sarah
Rebel Scum
The little Star Wars badge is finished! I just needed a few extra hours of drying time that the rain on the weekend didn't give me. The quote is from The Last Jedi, from a scene near the end which I don't want to spoil, but it's a great scene. It's my second badge that isn't a… Continue reading Rebel Scum
Project Roundup
As it's pouring down rain currently, very little has dried, so I'll show you all some progress and some new things. This will be a Star Wars Rebellion/Resistance badge with a Last Jedi quote underneath. I also received this sashiko embroidery kit from a friend who didn't want it (thank you!), and at the moment, I'm… Continue reading Project Roundup
Babushka Table
Whew, I finished the side table. I was going to leave the legs unpainted, but they looked a little too pale for the aesthetic of the store, so I stained them with brown paint. It just fits underneath the seat of the chair, with a little space to spare. (Which reminds me of a babushka… Continue reading Babushka Table
The Reading Chair
I've decided to make a reading nook for Flourish & Blotts, and I just recently finished making an armchair for it. I wanted the chair to look like it belonged in the Gryffindor common room, and this fabric was the best fabric I had for the job. The seat of the chair is removable, so… Continue reading The Reading Chair
Valentine’s Day
Happy Valentine's - or Galentine's - Day! I've been waiting to use that heart since last year, I love the sparkles! I believe it's actually a sticker, but I prefer it as a prop. If you don't celebrate, have a great day anyways! See ya! FillieFanatic
Am I at Hogwarts?
I wish. I found this store near me that has a section completely decked out in Hogwarts decor, so naturally, Sarah and I went with a camera. Most of the decor tended towards Gryffindor, though there was a small Slytherin room that was full of Slytherin merch and Death Eater masks. The chairs in the… Continue reading Am I at Hogwarts?
