The front counter at Fierro’s is complete! We also got a chalkboard menu hung behind the counter, which is fantastic. The plan is to fill the three shelves in the glass cabinet with breads, cakes, and smaller treats at the top. Under the counter has shelves for wayward cash registers and anything else that might…… Continue reading Fierro’s Front Counter
Sewing Things
I’ve been sewing a few small things in-between other projects (and life!) over the last month or so, and this is them: These are furoshiki wraps – squares of fabric tied around objects like a bag. I meant to make them all the same size, but I don’t mind a bit of variety! I don’t…… Continue reading Sewing Things
Pink & White Walls
The interior walls of Fierro’s have just been painted with their final coat! Isn’t this shade of pink beautiful? Hazel picked it out herself. I’m quite pleased with how the panelling has turned out – it took a little while, but I definitely think it was worth the effort. We also have the curtain mounted…… Continue reading Pink & White Walls
Marvel-ous Scarf
I’ve had a Ms Marvel cosplay in the works for a while, as she’s one of my favourite Marvel characters, and this scarf is one of the finishing touches for the outfit. It didn’t take very long! Hand-stitching the ribbon onto the ends took longer than making the scarf itself. I love the way the…… Continue reading Marvel-ous Scarf
Project Roundup
The interior walls of Fierro’s have been painted – the pink on top is brighter in person. I have plans to put some fancy details on the walls, so there’s still work to do here. I also bought some new fabric! The two on the left will be the outer and lining of another waistcoat,…… Continue reading Project Roundup
Hazel’s Birthday
Today is Hazel’s birthday! And considering I had just finished making her a cardigan, I figured today would be a good day to give it to her. “Aww! Thank you so much, I love it!” It is much the same design as Tiffany’s hot pink one, but without the side slits. I made Hazel’s in…… Continue reading Hazel’s Birthday
Fierro’s Façade
There’s a new store going in near the Palace Library…. It’s called Fierro’s Bakery, and both Hazel and I are super excited about it! I am so pleased with this front façade; this awning in particular, is 3-D, and I love the stripes. I also painted the shop’s name on the window, to change it…… Continue reading Fierro’s Façade
Finished Cushion Cover
At the end of last week, I got all the cushion cover squares sewn together to make this really long and thin blanket of sorts. Which I then sewed together to finish this cushion cover! These buttons were free with a magazine a while ago – the one on the right is peachier in real…… Continue reading Finished Cushion Cover
Chocolate is the Answer
I have this badge that says ‘Chocolate is the answer’ on my pencil case that came from a book a long time ago. It is quite old, and I worry about it falling off and the message it conveys to the world being lost forever. So, the solution I landed upon is to make a…… Continue reading Chocolate is the Answer
Project Roundup
My bakery’s front façade is coming along slowly – here we’ve got the exterior brickwork done…. ….and the addition of a window. The plan is to have the name of the bakery painted onto the glass of the window, which will hopefully look really good! I’m also sewing together all the squares for my cushion…… Continue reading Project Roundup
