I decided not to paint the braid on the jacket, and not add a little knob to the barrel's spout. I may add a strap to the barrel, but it is not really necessary. Too many fiddly details and it detracts from the main character and increases the chance of breakage.
So here she is:
The measuring beaker and cup were made from a small dowel. I drilled out the center and painted it a darker color to show the depth. The spigot is a simple dowel the size of a toothpick. The strap for the measuring beaker is nylon bristle.
All in all this was a very fun figure to build. Now to make up the rules (and point cost) for her!
