I’ve been making lots of progress on the embroidered zipper pouch this past week. Nearly there…. ….and it’s finished! I love the pathway, using negative space is definitely something I’d do again. Just have to work out what I’m doing with the other side now! I’m also making another of Sarah’s friends; I made the…… Continue reading Project Roundup

Zipper Pouch Beginnings
On an impulse recently, I decided to finally make an old zippered pouch kit with an embroidered front. The white spaces around the little path will be filled with plant life, with a cool negative-space-effect. I got this far taking regular progress photos, then completely forgot until this morning! This gives you a good idea…… Continue reading Zipper Pouch Beginnings
Flower Pots
Without flowers…. ….and with flowers! These big pots are the last element I need for Tea at Yaz’s courtyard (for now). There’s bougainvillea in the bottom pot, the blue flowers are oleias flowers, and I haven’t thought of a name for the yellow-orange flowers yet. The oleias flowers are used to treat minor skin-level injuries,…… Continue reading Flower Pots
Old/New Bag
Sarah’s old leather bag has started to crack, so she was in need of a bag that would last, which was a quick in-between project! I reused the front buckle from the old leather bag, and I added a buckle on the strap…. ….and D-rings on the sides. This bag is also lined, which I…… Continue reading Old/New Bag
Project Roundup
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
