I made this little cat for a friend's birthday not long ago, from a Ravelry pattern that can be found here. He's holding a little red ball, as I felt he was a little bland and boring without it. Plus, he needs something to play with. The recipient was very happy with him, and named… Continue reading Little Cat
Trophies
Recently, I finished up a pair of little trophies. They're made of some old charms I had lying around, which I cut the loops off, glued on some popsicle sticks and repainted. They were meant to be Schleich scale... ...but I think they're a little large. Fortunately, they are a better scale for Breyers. Everyone… Continue reading Trophies
Artist’s Supplies
In addition to the box of horse supplies, I also re-painted the box for Sarah's art stuff. There are a few paint stains, as you can see. I even put a few on the inside, because someone has probably knocked it over accidentally with an open paint tube inside at some point. I feel this… Continue reading Artist’s Supplies
Bigger Bottles
Along with the little bottles I made for the Schleich stable, I also made some Traditional scale ones. They're the same labels, but the bottles themselves are different in some cases. Left to right: cooling spray for the clippers, hoof oil (which I made a while ago), tack soap, fly spray, tack wipes and leather… Continue reading Bigger Bottles
Happy Father’s Day

The Bottollion
I feel like I've made a small battalion of bottles for the stables. (badum-tsh!) But first, the hooks outside the stables are done, and are being put to use. The saddle racks also got hung, so the tack room looks a little less cluttered. Here's all the different bottles I made: There's a tack soap… Continue reading The Bottollion
Stable Updates
Last time you all saw the stable, it didn't have interior walls yet. It has come quite a long way since then. Not only does it have walls, but it also has chain stall guards: and a bit of furniture waiting to go in. These were all made of popsicle sticks, and they've been stained… Continue reading Stable Updates
Magazine Boxes
Sarah's magazines have been getting a wee bit messy just loose on the shelf, so I made some magazine boxes for them. The box came from a Desktop Stables printable, and the model horse magazines and catalogue came with the template, so I thought I'd make those as well. Why not? The boxes are made… Continue reading Magazine Boxes
Book Swap Success
This week I went to a local book swap, and swapped three of my unloved books for three shiny, new-to-my-shelves books that I had read and loved. I am a big fan of Sarah J Maas' work, after a friend introduced me to the Throne of Glass series. Aren't the covers beautiful? Even the spines are… Continue reading Book Swap Success
Finished Patches
The badges got their felt backings today... The finished result: I ended up pinning these three to the tote bag I re-vamped a while ago. And the finished Slytherin crest: Looks good, doesn't it? I was originally thinking of wearing the badge with the scarf that's below (which is greener in real life - almost… Continue reading Finished Patches
