I finished the second of my Infernal Devices badges, this one is inspired by Jem Carstairs (who might just be my favourite of the two boys). I was reminded with this badge just how difficult embroidering on jersey is! I must find some more plain cottons, especially in grey. I think I would've preferred the jade pendant… Continue reading Violin Strings

Making Waves
I've been starting a new embroidery hoop recently, based on one of the stories from The Language of Thorns by Leigh Bardugo. I don't have the patience to embroider those big sections of wave entirely, so I'm using pieces of felt to block in a base colour... ...then stitching on heaps of lines to convey the… Continue reading Making Waves
Mauve Book Covers
Is this another badge I'm making? Yup! It's inspired by the Infernal Devices series by Cassandra Clare, specifically the character Will Herondale. The reason A Tale of Two Cities is mauve is because Will describes his soul as being mauve in the second book, Clockwork Prince (p95). The set, when put together, will fade from white to black… Continue reading Mauve Book Covers
Project Roundup
I haven't been working on a lot recently, but the console remains in progress! The white shapes in between the thin white 'spokes' have been added, and as a result, the TARDIS console now looks a little like a flower from above. The new shapes are slightly raised, and will have the various knobs and… Continue reading Project Roundup
New Styles
I finished the khaki jacket! I embroidered two patches onto the arms because it looked a little plain otherwise. On the right, there's this little crest I made up: And on the left are these arrows (?) that I've seen on similar jackets. I would like to put something on the back eventually, but it's… Continue reading New Styles
Project Roundup
I'm still chugging along on the TARDIS console, I'm doing a lot of little structural details at the moment, and I'll hopefully be painting soon, if it isn't raining! These little curved supports were so fiddly! I've also started this khaki-coloured jacket that will also test the jacket/coat pattern I made (after how many jackets… Continue reading Project Roundup
Reach for the Stars
After a couple of false starts... ...I've been making origami stars in between all the bigger projects. They're small and really easy, so they add up very quickly. In addition to all the white ones, I made a couple in different colours, which look really nice! When I said small, I meant Sarah-can-hold-a-few small. (Though… Continue reading Reach for the Stars
A HERo
This was another of those badges that goes from concept to finished product very quickly... The design is inspired by the Captain Marvel movie trailers, where they transition from 'her' to 'a hero', which is a little detail I adored. It's the second Captain Marvel badge I've made, and I believe it's also my first… Continue reading A HERo
TARDIS Updates
I've been in the process of making the TARDIS console, and it's finally begun to look like a console, instead of a fancy post. Before and after sticking the flower petals panels down. Sarah for scale below! It's quite tall, I was hoping to store it in the TARDIS exterior, but that's not going to… Continue reading TARDIS Updates
Finally Finished
Since this first picture of my crocheted scarf, it's come a long way. I've spent what felt like months (and was more realistically a few weeks) crocheting the big blue section until finally... ...I could crochet that sweet, sweet pink row... ...and call this scarf done!! Though hanging here it looks quite long, I think… Continue reading Finally Finished
