My main project at the moment is four embroidered patches, three that are from Mollie Makes. The Mollie Makes ones are inspired by badges you'd get at Girl Guides or something similar, but these ones have qualities like Patience... ,,,Kindness and Creativity, which I haven't started yet. The border is entirely satin stitch, and definitely takes a… Continue reading Project Roundup
Tassel Garland
I feel that the basic Three Broomsticks is done, so at the moment, I'm thinking of ways to brighten it up. This tassel garland was my first idea. They're all tied onto a long length of white plaited cord. BB8 really likes garlands, doesn't he? I wonder why that was programmed into his personality... It… Continue reading Tassel Garland
Cold Weather Gear
Where Sarah lives, it's been quite cold recently, and her jacket hasn't been keeping all the cold air out. This one looks much better than the old one, don't you think? It's got all the same things as the old one, like a hood and pockets. It's just made of a thicker fabric. Here we… Continue reading Cold Weather Gear
Mini Burgers
I made these little burgers with the same technique as the popcorn. Very tall, isn't it? The bun and meat patty are wet tissue balled up, like the popcorn, but the tomato, lettuce and cheese are all paper (or cardboard, in the case of the tomato). All the pieces are separate, so you could have… Continue reading Mini Burgers
Movie Night Popcorn
I made this little bowl of popcorn as an afterthought while making another item of food, which shall be on here soon. Wait - Sarah! I'm taking pictures of it! Ooh, you're watching a movie, never mind then. Carry on. None of the popcorn is actually glued into the bowl, which does mean it can… Continue reading Movie Night Popcorn

Crochet Occamy Pattern – Part 1
As requested, this is the first part of the crochet pattern for the Occamy from Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. I'm splitting the pattern in half as there are a few fiddly bits that deserve their own posts. NB. This is a small and fiddly pattern, so if you are eyeing this up as a… Continue reading Crochet Occamy Pattern – Part 1
Crochet Occamy
Ever since seeing Fantastic Beasts, I've seen an array of crocheted Bowtruckles and Nifflers out on the Internet, but never an Occamy. Until now, however! Isn't it adorable? I crocheted it around a pipe cleaner, which simultaneously provided a wire to make it pose-able, and the stuffing in the form of the fluff. I teased out… Continue reading Crochet Occamy
