The Three Broomsticks has brought out some new drinks to (try to) battle the heat! It's super hot at the moment, so Sarah requested some smoothies to cool down. I made four flavours: mango, strawberry, apple and banana & blueberry. They've all got little paper straws too - I'm very proud of these! I made… Continue reading Smooth Summer

Lots of Hexagons
The TARDIS walls are going well! I suspected the main problem with these walls would be the amount of time it would take to prepare/glue on/paint all the little hexagons, and I was right. I have two more pieces of the above white cardboard, all cut up into hexagons. My templates are below; there are… Continue reading Lots of Hexagons
Lightless Lights
I've been doing some major surgery on the Diagon Alley streetlights recently. I've been beheading them to make way for these new lights! I've spent months trying to figure out how to make these, and the answer finally came to me a few weeks ago. The tops are removable, so I could put a small… Continue reading Lightless Lights
Pillars
We're just starting out with these pillars... ...nearly there... ...and they're done! These pillars surround the console kinda like trees that are very yellow and don't have any branches. I painted on some shadows to add some depth, though I do think they could be a little lighter in colour. I just need to do… Continue reading Pillars
Project Roundup
I've mainly been working on the TARDIS recently, specifically these pillars for the corners. There's six of them that need painting, which takes ages to do. In-between painting pillars, I've been teaching myself corner-to-corner crochet. I've only done this little square at the moment, but I definitely want to do more. It's lots of fun,… Continue reading Project Roundup
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
Flooring Finished!
Since you've last seen it, the TARDIS floor has had a few small but vital additions. These include the little white lines on the yellow bits, and these strips of cardboard ready to be covered in dark blue paper. They've been glued around the edge of the floor. I don't have a lot of black… Continue reading Flooring Finished!
Project Roundup
I've been making some small jars recently, to be 'filled' with jam and honey, which would be delicious on toast... The honey won't be that bright, and both the lids still need painting. I can't wait to glue the labels on! I also started this little embroidery, I'm not sure if it's going to be… Continue reading Project Roundup
Space
I finished making two new badges recently! I made them at the same time (because they're kinda similar), and I'm really happy with them, especially the one on the right. I love the different shades on the planets, and the little string of white stars meandering through. The badge collection is now up to 18… Continue reading Space
Adjustments
I made this long-legged jumpsuit a while ago, as I wanted to try making a winter one-piece for Sarah, but I didn't think the long legs were quite right. So recently, I chopped off the legs to make it a summer piece. I also added lace at the bottom, which is an idea I've had… Continue reading Adjustments
