I've had the idea for Hogwarts house bunting bouncing around in my head since I finished the Three Broomsticks, and not long ago I did the maths to figure out just how many flags I'd have to make. It's 100, 25 for each house. 12 down, 88 to go! I also started on the front… Continue reading Project Roundup

Finished Space Painting
As you've probably guessed, I finished the space painting! Above is a progress shot taken just after finishing the USS Enterprise, a close-up of which is below. Here's the finished painting, with from left to right, the Millennium Falcon (Star Wars), the Rampion (The Lunar Chronicles), the TARDIS (Doctor Who) and the USS Enterprise (Star… Continue reading Finished Space Painting
Painting Space
I acquired these two canvases around Christmas time, for a painting I wanted to do for my room. In this painting, I wanted to have galaxies, stars, and several of my favourite spaceships. Both canvases are 20 x 24 inches, and I put them together to double the space I had for the painting. Here,… Continue reading Painting Space
S.P.E.W.
Happy New Year everyone! I hope it's going well for you so far, or at least better than the Society for the Promotion of Elfish Welfare did. The Society is from Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Hermione creates it in protest of house-elf slavery, but it's not a success. I don't think she's the… Continue reading S.P.E.W.
13th Doctor Outfit
Sarah's gift for Christmas this year was a 13th Doctor cosplay, according to the official image released by the BBC. She loves it. You can see the enormous pockets as well as the black hem at the bottom here. I painted the coat fabric with acrylics to get the right colour, as it's a bit… Continue reading 13th Doctor Outfit
Sarah’s Stocking
I made Sarah a stocking not long ago, with felt, sequins, and a little bit of ribbon. It's hollow, so you could put a very small gift inside. I believe this is where stockings normally reside, over the fireplace? *checks Google Images* Yeah, I think so. 😀 In other news, Sarah's gift this year is… Continue reading Sarah’s Stocking
Food Dishes
In between all the Christmas crafting I've been doing (that may or may not involve a gift for a certain someone...), I made some clear dishes for holding assorted foodstuffs. They have removable lids made of paperboard from a cereal box, and the dishes themselves are made of clear plastic from an old Breyer box.… Continue reading Food Dishes
Tinned Tomatoes
Do you remember those tomato slices I made back when I was making the sandwich fillings? Well, I made a tin for them today, courtesy of Benoit Farms & Gardens. (Note: Benoit Farms & Gardens is the fictional (sadly) farm of Scarlet Benoit from The Lunar Chronicles books by Marissa Meyer - it's a very good… Continue reading Tinned Tomatoes
Not Cracker-lacking
The process of drafting a pattern for Sarah-scale Christmas crackers is not simple. I based all these patterns on one that came in a Mollie Makes freebie a while ago. My first pattern and its result is on the right, and it didn't work because I don't believe triangular crackers are sold conventionally. (If I'm wrong,… Continue reading Not Cracker-lacking
Oh Christmas Wreath…
I finished my crochet Christmas wreath recently! The little red seeds (?) on the holly are beads that I sewed into place to give the wreath some sparkle. I also put the sequins around the bells for sparkle, because Christmas decor should be sparkly, in my opinion. The fancy stitch around the edge of the… Continue reading Oh Christmas Wreath…
