I finally had the motivation to make a summer garland this week, after many years of having it sitting on the To-Make List. Below are the crocheted elements I’ve made so far – I need two more duplicates, and then they all need to be strung together. Sun, shell, and sunflower designs by Steffi Glaves…… Continue reading Project Roundup

Project Roundup
Well, necessity has dictated that I make myself some more masks. It was loads of fun digging through my scraps to find some interesting prints – and a good opportunity to use up some smaller scraps of larger projects. I’ve also been making some more biscuits for the bakery…. ….and Hazel’s been wearing the same…… Continue reading Project Roundup
Completed Cosplay
With all the life-size garments I’ve been making recently, I felt I needed a little break from all the large, involved projects. So, I decided to dedicate a day or two to a small project – which led to the completion of my Ms Marvel cosplay! The small project in question was this arm bracer…… Continue reading Completed Cosplay
New Year’s Baking Supplies
First of all, Happy New Year! Some additions have been made to Fierro’s over the new year, mainly in the form of useful things like these gold plates, for serving diners. H: “The bigger two will be for sharing platters with lots of different sweets, and the smaller ones are for single biscuits, or cake…… Continue reading New Year’s Baking Supplies
2021: Year in Review
I’m not one for long paragraphs of self-reflection at the end of the year – I prefer to let the photos do the talking. So, let’s get to it! January: February: March: April: May: June: July: August: September: October: November: December Last year, I said I wanted to make some more life-sized things, continue exploring…… Continue reading 2021: Year in Review
Multipurpose Aprons
Inevitably, with baking (and running a business), messes happen. Fierro’s got some aprons today, so Hazel’s clothes won’t be permanently stained by anything. I spent ages trying to work out how to get the gathering attached to the top half, and this solution doesn’t look too bad once it’s on. There are no pockets, but…… Continue reading Multipurpose Aprons
Festive Attire
In keeping with the tradition of everyone having a Christmassy shirt, I whipped up a quick top for Hazel for the season. It’s made from some scraps from my linen pants, with the embroidered felt circle appliqued on top. I really like the little gold hanging loop at the top. I should also seal the…… Continue reading Festive Attire
Layering
Layering pieces in a wardrobe can be very handy to have, regardless of the size of the person or the wardrobe. Or the season! Which is why I wanted to make Hazel this skirt – she can wear it under a longer skirt in winter for warmth, or over a dress in summer, or with…… Continue reading Layering
Christmas Earrings
Because I really enjoyed putting together my spring earring collection, I decided to do a small collection of Christmassy designs. These little trees were definitely the most complicated ones to make! I had to make the cone shape with the beads on the inside, then turn it inside out to get this effect. I did…… Continue reading Christmas Earrings
Project Roundup
Petra’s Christmassy shirt got some longer sleeves this morning: And I’m in the process of figuring out how I want these aprons for Fierro’s to come together: I also want to make Hazel a Christmassy shirt or dress, and Sarah and her friends want to decorate the stores for the season. However, it’s been raining…… Continue reading Project Roundup
