The little Star Wars badge is finished! I just needed a few extra hours of drying time that the rain on the weekend didn't give me. The quote is from The Last Jedi, from a scene near the end which I don't want to spoil, but it's a great scene. It's my second badge that isn't a… Continue reading Rebel Scum

Project Roundup
As it's pouring down rain currently, very little has dried, so I'll show you all some progress and some new things. This will be a Star Wars Rebellion/Resistance badge with a Last Jedi quote underneath. I also received this sashiko embroidery kit from a friend who didn't want it (thank you!), and at the moment, I'm… Continue reading Project Roundup
Babushka Table
Whew, I finished the side table. I was going to leave the legs unpainted, but they looked a little too pale for the aesthetic of the store, so I stained them with brown paint. It just fits underneath the seat of the chair, with a little space to spare. (Which reminds me of a babushka… Continue reading Babushka Table
The Reading Chair
I've decided to make a reading nook for Flourish & Blotts, and I just recently finished making an armchair for it. I wanted the chair to look like it belonged in the Gryffindor common room, and this fabric was the best fabric I had for the job. The seat of the chair is removable, so… Continue reading The Reading Chair
Valentine’s Day
Happy Valentine's - or Galentine's - Day! I've been waiting to use that heart since last year, I love the sparkles! I believe it's actually a sticker, but I prefer it as a prop. If you don't celebrate, have a great day anyways! See ya! FillieFanatic
Am I at Hogwarts?
I wish. I found this store near me that has a section completely decked out in Hogwarts decor, so naturally, Sarah and I went with a camera. Most of the decor tended towards Gryffindor, though there was a small Slytherin room that was full of Slytherin merch and Death Eater masks. The chairs in the… Continue reading Am I at Hogwarts?
Another Badge
One reason I love these little badges is they're such quick makes, as I can usually whip one up in a day. This one's inspired by Magnus Chase and the Hammer of Thor, particularly Alex Fierro, who's a particularly quirky character and wears a lot of pink and green. The rune is dagaz, which represents new… Continue reading Another Badge
Bagging Up the Bags
Sarah's bag collection has jumped up from one to three, as she made two more for herself today. The patterns were based on the Breyer bag Sarah came with, though I suggested a few changes. The corners are squared, and there's a pocket in the front for wands, phones, keys and the like. They're nice… Continue reading Bagging Up the Bags
Dumbledore’s Army
I embroidered a new badge for my growing collection, this time a little Dumbledore's Army one (from Harry Potter). I've tried a new picture idea below, I think I like it! It was hard to take because my hands were shaking a little, but I like the difference in focus. Because this badge is smaller than… Continue reading Dumbledore’s Army
Cashing In
Naturally, being a bookstore, Flourish & Blotts needs a counter for visitors to adopt books from. The middle shelf is filled with notebooks, because using parchment all the time seems a bit ridiculous to me. Besides, there might be Muggle-borns who visit and just want notebooks for schoolwork. The bottom shelf lifts out (once the… Continue reading Cashing In
