Much like many people around March/April, I read Project Hail Mary, saw images and trailers for the movie, and became obsessed. This is the result of that obsession, four months later – I’ve crocheted myself a huggable Rocky. I combined the book and movie designs for him, for a few reasons – book Rocky’s body…… Continue reading No Flowers on Erid

Medieval Cross-Stitch
Just need to put the backing on…. …..and it’s done! This is a kit that was passed down to me from a friend, which she purchased in England many years ago. It’s called the Medieval Herb Garden Bookmark Kit by a company called Textile Heritage. (Here’s a link to an English company that sells them.)…… Continue reading Medieval Cross-Stitch

I have another shirt I’ve been working on for a few weeks now, and it’s nearly finished as I type this. Just needs a hem, and then I need to order buttons! I, like many people who like stories, have been obsessed with Project Hail Mary for the past month or thereabouts – so much…… Continue reading Project Roundup
Diamond (Jackets) Are a Girl’s Best Friend
Strap in, friends; this is a long one. Over the last few months, I’ve been chugging away at making the pink-and-blue jacket from the movie Howl’s Moving Castle. Keen-eyed readers may have spotted it in previous Project Roundup posts. It has, finally, been photographed to the very last thread, and here it is! It is…… Continue reading Diamond (Jackets) Are a Girl’s Best Friend
Project Roundup
I’ve been working on a new garment, which is getting so close to being complete! Can you guess what it is? As a result, progress at Tea at Yaz’s has been slow. I had some spare snake plant leaves, so I thought I’d make some smaller plants with them. The pots are assembled, but not…… Continue reading Project Roundup
Book Nook
The one thing that could enhance your average bookshelf (other than more books) is, in my opinion, a book nook. These are small boxes with little scenes inside that can be used as bookends or, in my case, to divide genres on my bookshelf. I made this between Christmas and New Year, but I’ve only…… Continue reading Book Nook
Camouflage
So, my goal with this latest dress is to blend into the shelves when browsing in a library. (It is also a wearable mockup of this pattern, but that’s an added bonus.) This pattern is the Cecily dress by Sewgirl patterns; it came with a sewing magazine I purchased a few years ago. The tie…… Continue reading Camouflage
Bookshelf Revamp
Remember this old bookshelf that was in Sarah’s room? Also, remember how I said I wanted to renovate Sarah’s abode a few weeks ago? Well, that renovation process has begun, with this bookshelf! I used as many of the same pieces of cardboard as I could, while adding a little bit of decoration at the…… Continue reading Bookshelf Revamp
Project Roundup
First, I have a chest of drawers ready for putting miniature patterns into. It’ll sit flat on the third wall in Needle & Thread, but I didn’t know what colour to make it when I took the photo. Now I know I’ll make it dark brown, like a wooden antique, to make the store more…… Continue reading Project Roundup
Tiffany’s Birthday
Today is Tiffany’s birthday! I gave her a stack of craft books and magazines. These are all books I really enjoyed or magazines I purchased over the last few months. I’ve been meaning to make Make It Simple (purple, top left) since I received it in real life, so I’m glad I got round to…… Continue reading Tiffany’s Birthday
