Every good observatory has a telescope, but does every observatory have a bronze telescope? The telescope on top is modelled slightly on my grandparents' telescope, and is made from a few wooden dowels wrapped in paper. The tripod is also made from wrapped wooden dowels. And if you look up, you can see... ...that the… Continue reading Seeing Stars

Scarves in Summer
In the promotional pictures for the Doctor Who New Year's special, the Doctor is seen wearing a colourful scarf. Much like this miniature one I made, funnily enough! The rainbow design is as close as I could get it to the original scarf. I like the tassels on the end - I've never put tassels… Continue reading Scarves in Summer
2018 in Review
We're back here again, wow. Time flew by, didn't it! As per Tiny Horse Talk tradition, let's sum up this year in 12 photos. January: February: March: April: May: June: July: August: September: October: November: December: Last year I said I wanted to do more large projects, and looking back, I certainly did! I made… Continue reading 2018 in Review
Deck the Halls?
I know Sarah and I need to get onto Christmas decorations for her apartment, but I saw this video on YouTube and couldn't help myself, and then it escalated a little bit. The Santa hat does fit Sarah, but BB-8 stole it after I'd finished making it, and it kinda stuck. The pompom on the… Continue reading Deck the Halls?
From Sarah’s Fridge
It just so happened that I was making these few dairy-related foods at the same time, so I thought I'd group them into a single post. There is also a strawberry milk carton on the back of the skim milk carton, which is magically filled with strawberry milk when the label is facing forwards. The… Continue reading From Sarah’s Fridge
Stargazing
A while back now, I had the idea to make an observatory room, for stargazing and sitting under the stars while still indoors. I told myself I had other projects to complete first, but... That's the completed walls and floor of the observatory. It just kinda... happened, okay!? A navy blue armchair for the space… Continue reading Stargazing
Project Roundup
I've made two new badges recently; the red one on the right is a quote from the book Simon vs the Homo Sapiens Agenda by Becky Albertalli based on a design I saw online. The Captain Marvel one (on the left) is currently attached to a bag of mine, and I'm quite proud of it, because… Continue reading Project Roundup
Sarah’s New Friend
You've probably seen this first picture and guessed (very accurately) what this post is about, so I won't go into that. I will say that this was a lot of fun to make. I love the bright colours and gold thread on the blanket, even though the gold thread was a pain to sew with.… Continue reading Sarah’s New Friend
Try New Things
In a doll sewing book I have, I saw a pattern for a long-sleeved jumpsuit. I thought I'd adapt the idea slightly by sewing two of Sarah's garments together to make one more suited for the Australian heat. It might be just about the easiest new piece of clothing I've made! It's the perfect little… Continue reading Try New Things
Hanging Around
These photos show the progression of a recent Mollie Makes freebie project, which was originally a necklace (the big white bit at the top was for folding over the chain). And here's the finished embroidery, which I made into a mini wall hanging, tadaaa! I really like the little vines at the top, especially the little… Continue reading Hanging Around
