Sarah's trying something new this weekend: noodles! The noodles themselves are wholegrain, because I didn't have any cream-coloured paper to use. There's also corn and some various vegies in there too. It's the first time Sarah's made noodles at home, and the verdict is... "Really good!" "What other stuff can I put with noodles?" I… Continue reading Noodles

Complete Console!
IT'S COMPLETE. No nitpicking still to do, no more coats of paint, the TARDIS console is done! Sarah's as excited as I am, as you can see. I added one wire, two extra dials and some painted buttons, in addition to this little line of Circular Gallifreyan around the edge. Not to mention the blue… Continue reading Complete Console!
Custard Creams
I've been trying out a new technique for making miniature biscuits recently, my first attempt is these custard creams. I wasn't sure how visible the yellow cream in the middle was going to be, but it's there! Sarah spotted them this morning at the supermarket and picked them up because the biscuit tin was getting… Continue reading Custard Creams
So Close
Panel 6 is done. DONE, I tell you! This loopy wire is black on the actual TARDIS, but I wasn't bothered painting it, so it's yellow now. I wonder what the big red switch does? Or the quartet of little silver ones below? That's been half the fun of making this - "ooh, I wonder… Continue reading So Close
New Views
In-between TARDIS panels, I've been able to whip up a variety of new backdrops, first off being a large white brick wall, because the white brick backdrop I had been using was very small. Look how much larger this one is! On the back, I have some parquet wood, for flatlays and such. Then, I… Continue reading New Views
Panel Five
Panel five of the TARDIS console is done! I like the switch and the wires behind the purple tube, they look really cool. I might add some buttons to the plain gadgets yet, but I think that's for another day. Final checks on the dials. There were a lot of little pieces to wrangle for… Continue reading Panel Five
Two of Three
The second Princess Academy badge is done, one year after the first one! There's a fair bit of symbolism in this badge, all pulled directly from the book, but the main bit is the bunches of miri flowers on the sides. I want to incorporate these little pink flowers that the main character, Miri, was named… Continue reading Two of Three
Project Roundup
I've nearly finished making another badge, this one's for the second Princess Academy book as I just finished re-reading it. I think I made the first badge over a year ago, so I'm determined to finish the trio of badges this re-read. I've also started panel 5 of the TARDIS console, which at the moment… Continue reading Project Roundup
Four of Six
Panel four of the TARDIS is done! (Those white dots look a little like eyes...) I could only find one reference picture for this panel, and the angle it was taken from covered the top of the panel, so I had to improvise a little. I love the clear, curved 'glass' - it was very… Continue reading Four of Six
Mid-Year Book Haul
I realised while photographing this post that I haven't done a book haul since January, so these are all the books I've added to my shelves in the last 6 months. My friend gave me this Doctor Who comic and Captain Marvel on DVD for my birthday, thank you again! These two duologies were books I… Continue reading Mid-Year Book Haul
