Hazel has been wearing her wool skirt for almost the entirety of this winter, so I thought it was high time I made her another one. “It’s a nice pop of colour, especially when it’s a dull grey day, and I’m in my grey cardigan.” I agree, Hazel! Especially compared to your grey wool skirt.…… Continue reading Red & Navy Wool

Mini Patterns
One thing a store called Needle & Thread needs is sewing patterns. Considering I’ve made hundreds of books before, sewing patterns can’t be that difficult. These more colourful ones are replicas of ones I have that came with sewing magazines. These are the ones I made myself, with all the details on the back. There…… Continue reading Mini Patterns
Hazel’s New Scarf
A few weeks ago, Hazel found some pink vareigated yarn at Needle & Thread, and Tiffany offered to knit her a scarf from it. She finished putting the tassels on today, and she’s off to deliver it in person. T: “Hazel?” H: “Oh, hello Tiffany! It’s so good to see you!” “I finished your scarf,…… Continue reading Hazel’s New Scarf
Touring Fierro’s Bakery

First stop in this lovely warm bakery is the dining area, here. We do have cushions available if you find our chairs uncomfortable, and blankets if it’s really cold…… Continue reading Touring Fierro’s Bakery
Wall Décor
Whew, hanging all these canvases took longer than we thought! Each one was made with coloured paper glued around cardboard, then decorated with stickers that I had hanging around. (ha!) I think it looks much better than blank pink walls! (If you see duplicates, shhh.) I also made some for the walls by the counter,…… Continue reading Wall Décor
Tiffany’s Birthday
Today is Tiffany’s birthday! I gave her a stack of craft books and magazines. These are all books I really enjoyed or magazines I purchased over the last few months. I’ve been meaning to make Make It Simple (purple, top left) since I received it in real life, so I’m glad I got round to…… Continue reading Tiffany’s Birthday
Long-Sleeved Layers
Hazel’s new shirt is in its last fitting, having been completed yesterday. I’m quite happy with it – I did have some trouble with the sleeves, but nothing too hard to fix. It has a false button-up front, which I’m proud of – we’ll pretend this top has a little flap covering the buttons, which…… Continue reading Long-Sleeved Layers
Sarah’s Birthday
It’s Sarah’s birthday today, so as it is still raining outside, her friends have planned an indoor celebration. Petra went over early to set up a bit, and give gifts before the chaos comes. P: “So, this is from Tiffany, because she’s helping Hazel with the cake,” S: “Where did she get this? We haven’t…… Continue reading Sarah’s Birthday
Easter Biscuits
The girls decided this Easter to have a picnic on Sarah’s living room floor, complete with goodies from Fierro’s. S: “Do we each get a bag?” H: “Yes, there’s a bag for each of you!” Hazel made these Easter biscuits specially – the egg-shaped ones are plain shortbread, and the chick faces are dark chocolate.…… Continue reading Easter Biscuits
Polka-Dots
Just in time for a turn towards cooler weather, Hazel’s latest dress is finished. She now has three dresses in her wardrobe, including this one, which is a fairly decent number! It’s made from scraps of my life-size pinafore dress, which is a fabric I knew Hazel would like. Searching for adventure…. Does this give…… Continue reading Polka-Dots
