I finished painting a pair of lampposts recently, despite a bucketload of rain pouring down outside, which is definitely a miracle. The original tutorial for these used a white table tennis ball on top for the light, but I don't own any table tennis equipment, so I had to improvise. These lights are balled-up tissue… Continue reading Let There Be Light
The Empty Cup
Do you remember the page in my ideas book that had all those badge/button designs? I recently finished making the first one! I'm experimenting with how I'm going to secure the muslin fronts to the felt backing, and this is one option. Pros include that I know the muslin won't come off because it's not… Continue reading The Empty Cup
Contrasting Shorts
While I was making the flowery shirt not long ago, I had the idea to use the same fabric to make a pair of summer shorts, as Sarah only had one denim pair for all of summer. They're a little longer than the denim pair, to give her options. We have a bougainvillea vine in… Continue reading Contrasting Shorts
The Smell of Old Books
These were once origami books I made forever ago, and I decided to give them a new life and cover them so they looked old, like the sort of book that's found in the depths of an ancient library and holds important, plot-progressing information. Most of them are just Hogwarts textbooks, though, as they'll go… Continue reading The Smell of Old Books
Project Roundup
These felt flowers came in a Mollie Makes freebie, and they're meant to go on a wreath. However, I want to make a mandala to go into the plastic ring provided instead, so suggestions for what I could do with them are much appreciated! The red one is a poppy, the pink one is a peony… Continue reading Project Roundup
Flower Power
The print of Sarah's shirt is very fitting, considering that it's spring where I live at the moment. It closes with the usual Velcro at the back. Sarah has quite a few shirts, actually. Do you have a favourite? I quite like the flowery blouse at the top, and the Captain America shield in the… Continue reading Flower Power
Watch the Spikes
These little succulents may just be the smallest things I've ever crocheted. The two on the outside are your classic, spiky, flowering cacti, and the centre one is a succulent. Isn't the little flower bud just adorable? All the pots were made and painted for these plants. The succulent was meant to look like the… Continue reading Watch the Spikes
More Variety
To add to the variety I was aiming to get into Sarah's selection of pants, I also made this pair. This fabric is stretchy, so they have a slimmer fit, especially around the ankles. The elastic band at the top is wider than the other pair, not that it really matters. They're great for seeing… Continue reading More Variety
Denim & Daisies
I've wanted to make a miniature denim jacket for a while now, and I only got around to it not long ago. However, I was tossing up between embroidering something colourful on the back or sewing a lace flower on. I ended up going with the lace flower. I embroidered all the paneling details in… Continue reading Denim & Daisies
Spring Bunting
This is almost like a series, isn't it? "On this episode of Seasonal Bunting, it's spring!" *catchy theme tune* It nearly matches Sarah's new pants, doesn't it? Putting up the new bunting marks the change of the seasons for Sarah, and she's hopefully heading to Diagon Alley again next weekend for some flowers and plants… Continue reading Spring Bunting
