First, I re-made Sarah's Thirteenth Doctor pants because I wanted to adjust the fit a little and I wanted to put pockets in. The pockets are lined with the same fabric that's inside the coat sleeves - which I thought was a nice little connection between them! I've also been crocheting some leaves from this… Continue reading Project Roundup

The Eyes Have It
From unpainted... ...to painted... ...to in the TARDIS! I don't actually know what this device is called, but I've been calling it the 'Eyes', because I assume it's like a microscope, something used to see things. It reminds me a little bit of Wall-E, especially his face. The Eyes don't move, but I imagine the… Continue reading The Eyes Have It
Amplify
From this.... (it reminds me of a dinosaur head!) ....to this! The TARDIS microphone, complete with stand. I reckon I could have made the painted lines neater, they're a little wonky in places! Of course, the microphone is removable. I imagine the bit under the handgrip was once as silver as the microphone head, but… Continue reading Amplify
Let’s Go
Nearly finished assembly... Sonic-ing the final few screws... ...and it's attached! This is the lever that gets pulled down to start the de-materialisation process that lets the TARDIS travel. Of course, it moves. This was the one part of the TARDIS console that I definitely wanted to have moving parts. It's a little difficult to… Continue reading Let’s Go
The Smallest Time Machine
It's definitely the smallest time machine I've ever made, that's for sure. Even if it's only one small component of a time machine. Sarah offered to paint this for me, it is believed to be a device that shows what the exterior of the TARDIS looks like at any given time. It has a silver… Continue reading The Smallest Time Machine
Finished Hoop
My latest embroidery hoop is finished! I'm very pleased with it overall, but especially with the wave break, all those little knots give it great texture. I also really like this brain coral, the chain stitch worked really well. Here's the quote on the page... ...and the book the quote and story are in! It's… Continue reading Finished Hoop
Coral Growth
I believe the last time you all saw this hoop, it was just the blue of the waves and the writing. Since then, I've added a fair bit of pink in the coral side, using as many different stitches as possible. I love these bubbles, I was originally going to put a fish there but… Continue reading Coral Growth
TARDIS Console Progress
I've been (vvveeerrryyy) slowly painting the TARDIS console, this is the progress made in about a week and a half from when all the yellow was done. To get this worn metal effect, I painted two coats of black and one thin coat of bronze. I love it, I think it really suits the aesthetic… Continue reading TARDIS Console Progress
Project Roundup
The TARDIS console is slightly further along than it is here, but I've begun painting it! I'll add a bit of orange to the yellow crystal in the centre to give it depth, and paint the underside metallic bronze. The embroidery hoop is also coming along, I've started the coral reef on the side as… Continue reading Project Roundup
Clockwork Angel
The final Infernal Devices badge is finished, and it's Tessa's clockwork angel. I would have liked to have added something above the angel, but I had the idea after it was glued to the paperboard backing. Don't they look great? You can see the background colour gradient I was going for, though I think the jump… Continue reading Clockwork Angel
