I noticed recently that Sarah's choice of pants was rather limited. There's not a lot of colour or variety in there, is there? Thus, these came into life. I made them in a cotton flowery print and they're ever so slightly loose, to accommodate for the fact that cotton doesn't stretch. I'm quite proud of… Continue reading Fancy Pants

For When the Time Comes…
When I print miniature labels for things, I usually print them in large batches. In this batch was the grooming kit labels (in both sizes), and these First Aid kit labels. There were a lot of them. The printable came from Desktop Stables, and contains various horsey medical-related things like a box of rubber gloves,… Continue reading For When the Time Comes…
Mini Pictures
I made Sarah a miniature DSLR camera, and she hasn't stopped taking pictures since. The strap is plaited thread, and I used some scraps of gold faux leather to secure it to the camera. I thought about making the strap removable, but I think that would have tested my patience beyond measure. Naturally, the strap's… Continue reading Mini Pictures
Trophies
Recently, I finished up a pair of little trophies. They're made of some old charms I had lying around, which I cut the loops off, glued on some popsicle sticks and repainted. They were meant to be Schleich scale... ...but I think they're a little large. Fortunately, they are a better scale for Breyers. Everyone… Continue reading Trophies
Artist’s Supplies
In addition to the box of horse supplies, I also re-painted the box for Sarah's art stuff. There are a few paint stains, as you can see. I even put a few on the inside, because someone has probably knocked it over accidentally with an open paint tube inside at some point. I feel this… Continue reading Artist’s Supplies
Bigger Bottles
Along with the little bottles I made for the Schleich stable, I also made some Traditional scale ones. They're the same labels, but the bottles themselves are different in some cases. Left to right: cooling spray for the clippers, hoof oil (which I made a while ago), tack soap, fly spray, tack wipes and leather… Continue reading Bigger Bottles
The Bottollion
I feel like I've made a small battalion of bottles for the stables. (badum-tsh!) But first, the hooks outside the stables are done, and are being put to use. The saddle racks also got hung, so the tack room looks a little less cluttered. Here's all the different bottles I made: There's a tack soap… Continue reading The Bottollion
Stable Updates
Last time you all saw the stable, it didn't have interior walls yet. It has come quite a long way since then. Not only does it have walls, but it also has chain stall guards: and a bit of furniture waiting to go in. These were all made of popsicle sticks, and they've been stained… Continue reading Stable Updates
Finished Patches
The badges got their felt backings today... The finished result: I ended up pinning these three to the tote bag I re-vamped a while ago. And the finished Slytherin crest: Looks good, doesn't it? I was originally thinking of wearing the badge with the scarf that's below (which is greener in real life - almost… Continue reading Finished Patches
Project Roundup
I've finished the embroidery for the Slytherin badge, woohoo! Here's the colours done... ...backstitching in progress... ...and it's finished! The badges are currently drying in the sun, and after they're dry, I'll cut them all out and sew felt and a safety pin onto the backs of each. I also finished covering the interior of… Continue reading Project Roundup
