I’ve made three large pots for Tea at Yaz’s, seen here with the smaller pot for scale, so now they’re all ready for Petra to plant some plants in. I also finished adjusting her grey pants! I made the legs slimmer, put on a new waistband and made the elastic inside tighter to stop them…… Continue reading Project Roundup

Hanging Baskets
The Tea at Yaz’s courtyard is just beginning to bloom. with these hanging baskets! There are two types of plant here, the two (fictional!) dragontail plants and a crepe myrtle. They have lots of buds on them, and a few early flowers. I attached them to the walls by pushing two thin pieces of wire…… Continue reading Hanging Baskets
Re-Made Jumper
In order to re-knit a jumper, sometimes you’ve got to completely unravel two of the sides (the front and back are the bundles of yarn just under this text). Then you’ve got to sew it together…. ….and you’re good to go! I’m very happy with the neckline, because I usually cast off really tightly. This…… Continue reading Re-Made Jumper
Tea Boxes
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
