The range of Porta-Mugs has expanded with a burst of colour! Every colour of the rainbow is now available with a mug for every taste. All the bases for the mugs that aren't white match the sides' colour, which I'm very happy with. Some of the colour combinations were tricky to get right, it took… Continue reading Cuppa to Go

Amplify
From this.... (it reminds me of a dinosaur head!) ....to this! The TARDIS microphone, complete with stand. I reckon I could have made the painted lines neater, they're a little wonky in places! Of course, the microphone is removable. I imagine the bit under the handgrip was once as silver as the microphone head, but… Continue reading Amplify
Porta-Mugs
The latest invention to enter the mini-world is Porta-Mugs, re-usable takeaway mugs. The lids are purple to match the bands, though it's a little tricky to get a good picture of the colour! I do plan on having a 'drink' in the cup, though I still need to do a little experimenting with that. Here's… Continue reading Porta-Mugs
Let’s Go
Nearly finished assembly... Sonic-ing the final few screws... ...and it's attached! This is the lever that gets pulled down to start the de-materialisation process that lets the TARDIS travel. Of course, it moves. This was the one part of the TARDIS console that I definitely wanted to have moving parts. It's a little difficult to… Continue reading Let’s Go
New Angles
I added an additional wall to Sarah's room to give me more angles for photography, but it is very blank. So what do we do? Add art and a bedroom door, of course! The door is paperboard, and I imagine the rest of the apartment lies beyond it. I'm really happy with the doorknob, because… Continue reading New Angles
The Smallest Time Machine
It's definitely the smallest time machine I've ever made, that's for sure. Even if it's only one small component of a time machine. Sarah offered to paint this for me, it is believed to be a device that shows what the exterior of the TARDIS looks like at any given time. It has a silver… Continue reading The Smallest Time Machine
Finished Hoop
My latest embroidery hoop is finished! I'm very pleased with it overall, but especially with the wave break, all those little knots give it great texture. I also really like this brain coral, the chain stitch worked really well. Here's the quote on the page... ...and the book the quote and story are in! It's… Continue reading Finished Hoop
The French Desserts
I say "French Desserts" because these three newbies a) come as a unit, and b) are all named after French confectioneries. These guys were an impulse buy in an op shop, I believe they are a Breyer Stablemate Mystery Foal Family from a while ago. The mother I named Macaron... ... the father I named… Continue reading The French Desserts
Coral Growth
I believe the last time you all saw this hoop, it was just the blue of the waves and the writing. Since then, I've added a fair bit of pink in the coral side, using as many different stitches as possible. I love these bubbles, I was originally going to put a fish there but… Continue reading Coral Growth
Happy Mother’s Day
