As Hazel’s wardrobe/possessions expand in number, she will need something to carry them in – therefore, I made her a backpack! The bag opens, so Hazel can carry stuff around if she needs to. It’s a lot like Petra’s backpack, though I’m not sure the fabric around the opening of Hazel’s bag is quite wide…… Continue reading Pink Backpack

Fierro’s Furnishings
Well, the first few furnishings, at least. I’ve made two sets of these tables and chairs for seating in the bakery. In lieu of thin enough wood, I’ve used strips of cardboard to make the chairs (apart from the seats and backrests, which are wood.). The tables have this really cool pink terrazzo top on…… Continue reading Fierro’s Furnishings
A Dress in Bloom
Spring is well and truly here, and with a change in seasons comes a change in wardrobe! Yes, Hazel now has a new dress, as I felt that her wool skirt was a little too hot for summer. The Swoosh Factor is a very important test for all skirts to undergo, and Hazel assures me…… Continue reading A Dress in Bloom
Fierro’s Front Counter
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
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
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
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
Hazel’s Cape
I decided to go the obvious route with Hazel’s outerwear, and make a pink knee-length cape first. It’s got hand-bound armhole slits, and is lined with this floral fabric from my stash. The background of this fabric is a very pale pink, which I thought suited it quite well. We went to a nearby botanic…… Continue reading Hazel’s Cape
