Some of my older readers may recognise this pouf; I must have made it a few years ago now. It wasn’t getting a whole lot of use, so I re-stuffed it with scraps from my (overflowing!) scraps bin…. ….and now it’s a beanbag for The Palace Library’s staff/break room! Sarah assures me it’s very comfy.…… Continue reading Sustainable Beanbags

Coat Renovation
A year or two ago, I tried to make Sarah a nice black knee-length coat. However, the sleeves turned out too tight for her hands, so this year, I wanted to re-make it. Above is the original, and below is the re-made one! I’m so happy with this one – as you can see, her…… Continue reading Coat Renovation
Framed
After finally finding a good frame…. ….the sunflower cross-stitch is done! I think the wooden frame adds to the rustic-ness of the stitching. In The Palace Library, we have one box…. ….and two boxes opened. “Oooh, I haven’t read this one yet!” There might be some borrowing happening before the store opens. Someone’s got to…… Continue reading Framed
Books & Counters
Another box of books has been opened, just in time for the updated counter to be assembled. It is less deep than the old one, and there are shelves in the back for that all-important storage. However, the colour scheme is a little…. off. We might have to cover the front with a poster or…… Continue reading Books & Counters
Project Roundup
The Quest to Unpack All the Boxes remains a slow one, about matching the rate at which the bookshelves get built. “Oooh, there are some good ones in this box!” “When I next get a moment, we should totally put genre labels on the shelves somewhere.” I also have a few life-size sewing projects that…… Continue reading Project Roundup
Upstairs Furnishings
There are a lot of bookshelves in The Palace Library that need assembling, so as a result, the armchair has been moved to one of the upstairs rooms for now. You can see one of the other rooms across the banisters: that room has a lot of boxes that will fill the shelves downstairs. However,…… Continue reading Upstairs Furnishings
Stocking the Shelves
“Oof!” The Palace Library’s just received another box of stock, and this box is actually interesting! The beginnings of the novel section, or about 34 books, made by me. There are two copies of each book here, because real-life bookstores have multiple copies too. “I wanna sort them into series’, so they’re easier to shelve,”…… Continue reading Stocking the Shelves
Bookstore Beginnings
Sarah’s local bookstore is coming along really well in its renovations! This is the finished storefront: There’s a little palace/castle in the sign, which I think is really cute. The window frame is also raised, so the display is still changeable. Maybe I should do this for all the shops…. Let’s see how it’s going…… Continue reading Bookstore Beginnings
Five Years
Hey, have you seen this? Today’s my five-year blogiversary! Clearly, a small party is in order. To celebrate, I’ve compiled links to my five favourite crafts/posts over the last five years! They are, in no particular order: 1: The TARDIS set ~ This is definitely one of the biggest things I’ve made! Not to mention…… Continue reading Five Years
