A sore wrist has halted crafting for a little while, so this is about as far as I've gotten with the doll. But, it has given me plenty of time to think about how I'll construct the head, which is good! These are various foot patterns. Bottom left is what I got from Sarah's feet,… Continue reading Still Building

Anything that details the creative process of a project or skill.
Body Building
My latest project will be quite a long one, as I am currently drafting a sewing pattern for a Sarah-size doll. Hopefully, this doll will have the same movement as Sarah, just be a little more realistically sized and made of fabric. The above and below pictures show the wire 'skeleton' that will go inside… Continue reading Body Building
The Final Books … For Now
The final books for batch 2 are done. It's the Starbound Trilogy, which Sarah liked more than I did. The covers are gorgeous (particularly Their Fractured Light), and they're written by an Australian author, so why not support beautiful covers and Australians? This bookshelf of Sarah's is getting quite cramped, as tends to happen. Good to… Continue reading The Final Books … For Now
Galactic Reads & Excited Droids
As Sarah loves sci-fi, especially Star Wars, I thought she'd enjoy some Star Wars novels/novelizations. These two are Sarah-size hardcovers, so the pages are smaller than the paperbacks to illustrate there is a difference between them (because technically, all of Sarah's books are hardcover, but shh.). This looks a little like the beginnings of a Star… Continue reading Galactic Reads & Excited Droids
Loving Embroidery
The Mollie Makes embroidery has had a lot of progress... The green really makes all the warm colours pop, doesn't it? I loved embroidering the little olive green stalks, they were so cute. ... that I finished it! It hangs with my other freebie embroideries on the side of my bookshelf, at the bottom of the… Continue reading Loving Embroidery
Adventures in Watercolours
I decided to take a slightly different approach to making the autumnal Flourish & Blotts window displays, and I had an idea for a watercoloured autumn forest scene. The background isn't the greatest, but I'm still pretty happy with it. It looks great in the windows! I love the carpet of leaves, as well as… Continue reading Adventures in Watercolours
Book Shopping
So, Sarah went book shopping this morning... ...and came home with these. She'd borrowed Renegades from the library and loved it, so put it on her wishlist. Sarah seems to prefer sci-fi or dystopia novels more than fantasy, so I'm tailoring her bookshelf to suit her interests. I read more fantasy than sci-fi/dystopia, so I've… Continue reading Book Shopping
Blooming Embroidery
My newest Mollie Makes arrived not long ago, and I'd been anticipating this issue because of this beautiful kit that came with it. It's by an Etsy shop called Brynn & Co, who sell embroidery kits and supplies. The kit came with everything in the picture below except the scissors, those I've had for a while.… Continue reading Blooming Embroidery
A Badge & Reading Recommendations
My latest little badge got pushed to the front of the queue of ideas as it's inspired by the Ms Marvel comics, which I've been reading lately. I borrowed the first five Kamala Khan Ms Marvel comics from my local library, and I love them! The design is drawn directly from Kamala's Ms Marvel costume,… Continue reading A Badge & Reading Recommendations
Cyber Sarah
So, Sarah now has a laptop and a smartphone. They both come from a MyFroggyStuff printable, and I put sticky tape over the laptop screen, so it reflects the sun annoyingly, just like a real laptop! You can see how small the phone is here, I went a little cross-eyed making it. The sides were… Continue reading Cyber Sarah
