Tea at Yaz’s now has its own line of tea! I made the designs for these little boxes myself, which was a long process of trial and error. There are 10 different boxes: hibiscus, rooibos, chamomile, peppermint, strawberry, earl grey, black, ginger, lavender and hot chocolate. On the back, there is a teeny tiny nutrition…… Continue reading Tea Boxes

Project Roundup
These little boxes have been in the works for so long now, I’m so close to finishing them! I was randomly struck with the motivation to crochet something, so I made an autumn garland, which has been on my list for a few years now! I used Attic24’s beech leaf pattern for the leaves, and I…… Continue reading Project Roundup
Curries
Tea at Yaz’s has another addition to the menu – curries! I also made some spice jars for the Tea at Yaz’s pantry too; left to right there is curry powder, chilli powder, and cinnamon. On the left is yellow beef curry, and on the right is butter chicken. I’m very pleased with how the…… Continue reading Curries
Project Roundup
First, a quick project – this was my desk pin tin and pincushion, and it had had this ugly, yellow sponge on the top for a while. Half an hour later, and I’ve switched the sponge out with a nice, blue pincushion, stuffed with various fabric scraps I found in my bin. I think that…… Continue reading Project Roundup
Lola’s Dress
The first thing I did after my initial post about this doll was tame that hair a little! I tied it back with a strip of pink jersey fabric. In other news, Lola has a dress! Now she doesn’t have to borrow Sarah’s clothes, which is wonderful. Of course, it has pockets, and a cute…… Continue reading Lola’s Dress
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
Haircuts
The muslin fabric doll has progressed to completion since last week, and as most of those progress pictures look like they’re from a horror movie, here she is with hair glued on…. …I’ve got the texture I want, but it still needs a haircut…. ….and here we are! She’s got nice bendy arms and legs,…… Continue reading Haircuts
Project Roundup
Guess what I’m attempting again! It’s fabric dolls. This is the muslin that I’m using to test out the pattern and experiment with techniques, if necessary. The actual dolls will be made with some nice cotton. All ready for assembly! (I had to.) I’ve also finally settled on a Carry On badge design, which I think…… Continue reading Project Roundup
Finished 13 Hoop!
In my time hanging out indoors over the last week, I’ve managed to stitch some final touches to this hoop…. ….so it is now finished! It’s very hard to get good detail stitching over felt, but you can sort of see that this is a Custard Cream biscuit! I also trimmed the tassels, which look…… Continue reading Finished 13 Hoop!
Acorns
My intent was to make only five acorns, three little ones and two big ones, but they just kept multiplying…. Whoops! Below you can see the difference between the large and small ones. They come from a Mollie Makes magazine, and they’re probably a little large to be Sarah-sized acorns! Unless you used it as a…… Continue reading Acorns
