These are all the books I added to my shelves last year (wow, that feels good to say!). I bought Heartstopper vol. 3 in March just before everything went downhill, and the others I received around my birthday. I received or used gift cards on these books around Christmas this year. I am particularly excited…… Continue reading 2020 Books

History, Huh?
As Red, White and Royal Blue is one of my favourite books ever, of course I had to do something for this momentous occasion. This being the day that Alex Claremont-Diaz (in the book) made his speech and history remembered. I couldn’t decide between the plain black design and the Pride flag design, so I…… Continue reading History, Huh?
Three Years Later
Finally…. ….after what feels like three years…. ….I have a Carry On badge! This book has been a favourite for a long time now, and I hit roadblocks multiple times while designing it, but now! All that has come to fruition! Huzzah! I tried a new-ish stitch for the rose in the centre, which I think…… Continue reading Three Years Later
Continuing Getting Started
I’ve been making a few other textbooks for different subjects studied at the same university, amongst other education-related things. This is a very basic set of textbooks, for subjects that I thought of off the top of my head. I’d love to explore more obscure subjects, like, I don’t know, magic? Languages? Cultural studies? They’ll…… Continue reading Continuing Getting Started
Getting Started
Sarah’s made a trip to Flourish & Blotts today, not to add to her collection of novels, unfortunately…. ….but to get textbooks. (And one fun book about astronomy. S: It’s a stowaway, shh.) I’ve also made some notebooks, ready to be filled with notes; I made six different colours, so I’ve got a few spares just…… Continue reading Getting Started
New Year, New Books
With Christmas comes gifts, and in my case, a lot of those are books. Below are all the books I acquired in the second half of 2019 – thank you! These were all gifted to me except the two Heartstopper books – I bought them myself. Sarah also received books this year – she’s been…… Continue reading New Year, New Books
Crow & Cup
Without a cup.... ...with a cup.... ...and done! This quote and the crow & cup symbol is from the Six of Crows duology by Leigh Bardugo (which I highly recommend!). I mounted it onto a square of cardboard, but I'm still debating what to do with it. I could sew it onto a jacket as a… Continue reading Crow & Cup

Continuing on with the book theme from my last post... Alice Oseman is an author I really like, plus the fact that her books have pretty covers equals I must make these in miniature. I haven't actually read Solitaire yet, but I would definitely recommend the other two. I love how all the covers have cohesive… Continue reading More Books
Book Haul
Usually I'd wait for more books or the end of the year before doing a book haul but in this case I'm too excited to wait. First, I've got to discuss Wayward Son! I've been anticipating the release of this since it was announced, and now I FINALLY have a copy in my own hands!!… Continue reading Book Haul
Two of Three
The second Princess Academy badge is done, one year after the first one! There's a fair bit of symbolism in this badge, all pulled directly from the book, but the main bit is the bunches of miri flowers on the sides. I want to incorporate these little pink flowers that the main character, Miri, was named… Continue reading Two of Three
