That is right, friends, the niggling feeling that ‘I could do that [miniature building] so much better’ returns! This time, Tea at Yaz’s is due for a facelift. It’s the first store along this little street that I made, so I think it deserves a bit of love. At the moment, I’ve just completed the…… Continue reading Tea at Yaz’s Renovation

Navy Double Gauze
I finished this dress a couple of weeks ago, but I’ve only just got around to photographing it. I used the same pattern as my library dress, but I brought the neckline in a bit, so now it’s more of a circular neckline. I also substituted the Rosery Apparel Daisy sleeves, like the library dress.…… Continue reading Navy Double Gauze
Book Nook
The one thing that could enhance your average bookshelf (other than more books) is, in my opinion, a book nook. These are small boxes with little scenes inside that can be used as bookends or, in my case, to divide genres on my bookshelf. I made this between Christmas and New Year, but I’ve only…… Continue reading Book Nook
Camouflage
So, my goal with this latest dress is to blend into the shelves when browsing in a library. (It is also a wearable mockup of this pattern, but that’s an added bonus.) This pattern is the Cecily dress by Sewgirl patterns; it came with a sewing magazine I purchased a few years ago. The tie…… Continue reading Camouflage
Sarah’s Orrery
Happy New Year! I managed to finish up a few things in the last few days of last year, so I’ll be posting them this month while I continue in the background. First thing is that Sarah’s bedroom is done!* *for now. 🙂 As part of the ‘finishing’ touches, I made this little orrery for…… Continue reading Sarah’s Orrery
2023 Year in Review
It’s that time of year again! I can’t believe it’s nearly 2024. January: February: March: April: May: June: July: August: September: October: November: December: What a year! My goals last year were to renovate the miniature world, make myself some shirts, and improve my photography. I did purchase a reflector during the year, which I…… Continue reading 2023 Year in Review
There and Back Again
This stitching has been the project of the past couple of weeks, as it was a Secret Santa gift for a Tolkien fan. I did my best to take progress pictures, but it’s hard to break out of The Groove to take a single, measly picture! Anyways, it got framed last weekend. I would have…… Continue reading There and Back Again
Project Roundup
Older readers will perhaps remember this blue playsuit of Sarah’s; I love the lace along the hem of the shorts. Speaking of the hem, I took it up a little, as it looked a little funny being knee-length. They’re still a reasonable length, I think – just not veering in daggy directions. Another memory game…… Continue reading Project Roundup
Tea-Dyed Wallpaper
I mentioned a couple of posts ago that I was trying out new things for Sarah’s bedroom. Those ‘new things’ were tea-dyeing paper, which I’ve used on Sarah’s bedroom walls. With all the furniture moved in; I love the effect it gives! I wanted cream-coloured paper without having to purchase new paper, so this is…… Continue reading Tea-Dyed Wallpaper
Patchwork Cushion Cover
Never understimate the amount of work that goes into patchwork – this cushion cover took me about a month! All these fabrics came from my stash; there are a few scraps from old projects in there, as well as stuff I was given. Every hexagon was sewn together by hand, too. I think there’s about…… Continue reading Patchwork Cushion Cover
