Pickett the Bowtruckle is a beloved character from the Harry Potter series. He is a tiny stick-like creature that lives in trees, and is often seen in the company of Newt Scamander.

Pickett uses his long twig-like fingers to guard the trees and protect the creatures living in them. Despite his small size, Pickett is brave and feisty, often standing up to far bigger foes like the infamous Gellert Grindelwald. He is also loyal and devoted to Newt, often accompanying him on his adventures.

Pickett is a fan favorite, and the very embodiment of courage and loyalty. He is a perfect example of the power of friendship, and a reminder that even the smallest of creatures can have a big impact. Pickett is a beloved character that will no doubt live on in the hearts of Potter fans for many years to come.

Time Flies — And Sometimes It Has Wings Made of Vintage Paper and Buttons

Have you ever been to the cuckoo clock shop at Tamborine Mountain? It’s like stepping into another world — a charming, ticking wonderland filled with thousands (yes, literally thousands) of clocks. Some are grand and ornate, others tiny and tucked away like secrets waiting to be discovered. I remember walking through the shop with my kids, completely enchanted by the whirring gears, dancing figurines, and the joyful chorus of chimes. It was one of those places where time feels like it both stops and flies.

That same feeling came flooding back when I stumbled across this adorable craft project from Teawagon Tales called Time Flies. In true vintage style, it’s a whimsical little DIY that combines scraps of fabric, old paper, buttons, and clock faces into sweet butterfly-like creations — a beautiful mashup of memory, imagination, and just plain cuteness.

It reminded me that crafting is a little like walking through that clock shop. Each piece holds a story, a tick of nostalgia, and the joy of noticing small details. You don’t need much — just some leftover fabric, maybe an old book page or two, and a few bits from your button tin. And suddenly you’re creating something that feels like it fluttered out of a fairytale.

So if you’ve got a stash of pretty paper or vintage bits and bobs you’ve been saving for “something special,” this might be the perfect project to give them new life.

Take a look at the full tutorial and soak up some serious inspiration:
