Sarah’s Thirteenth Doctor cosplay has had an upgrade – this is what it looked like four years ago (!): And this is what it looks like today: The shoes I made a while ago, but this post’s focus is the pants! I made them from scraps of the fabric I used for my life-sized pair.…… Continue reading Cosplay Update

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
More Shelves
The latest addition to Sarah’s bedroom is this little shelf on the wall above her bed. I saw some similar ones on Pinterest that had hooks underneath, which I thought would give Sarah somewhere to hang things that isn’t the doorknob. She’s decided to populate it with “things I need when going outside, like textbooks…… Continue reading More Shelves

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
Bedside Book Stack
Do you notice anything different about this part of Sarah’s room? I made a little bedside table to fit between the bed and the bookshelf! The majority of this was made from scraps of cardboard salvaged from old projects. I put a little drawer in as well; not sure what you’d put in there, but…… Continue reading Bedside Book Stack
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
Flower Festival Photos (part 2)
Batch two of the holiday photos incoming! (There were a lot of good ones!) These little yellow flowers are called Billy buttons, which I reckon is a fantastic name. I have been busy with both staying cool and new projects, which will be forthcoming. I’ve been trying some new things for Sarah’s bedroom and I’m…… Continue reading Flower Festival Photos (part 2)
Flower Festival Photos
Recently, the girls and I went on a holiday to a nearby city that does a flower festival in the springtime. Naturally, I took loads of photos, and I want to show you some of the best ones. (We also visited a Japanese garden while there, which has fewer flowers but lots of beautiful views.)…… Continue reading Flower Festival Photos
Project Roundup
These little candle holders I added to Sarah’s room this week were really quick to make – only a couple of hours all up. I glued the candles into them after I drybrushed them with gold paint. I reckon the drybrushing looks really effective! I reckon Sarah will put the other two on her bedside…… Continue reading Project Roundup
Sarah’s Bedroom Updates
Two things: first, Sarah has some fresh bedding, as the old stuff had hot glue and strange stains from where she spilled bowls of noodles that didn’t come out in the wash. I tried the ol’ iron-creases-into-the-bedspread-where-it-goes-over-the-side-of-the-bed trick, which works much better than hot glue! “Do you like it Chip?” Second: remember Sarah’s telescope? It’s…… Continue reading Sarah’s Bedroom Updates
