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
Hello everyone! Hazel here, pumped up and ready to celebrate the opening of Fierro’s Bakery with you! Please, come inside, this winter wind bites, doesn’t it? 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
Project Roundup
The majority of this week was spent stuffing my tailor’s ham. That’s my scraps tin there – I emptied it entirely into the ham, and then cut up some old jeans to supplement it. It’s nice and firm, if a little lumpy, and will be very useful for ironing curved seams. I put wool on…… Continue reading Project Roundup
Fresh Breads (and other delectables)
Hazel’s first batches of bread came out of the oven this week! For this test, she made four scones (which are on the left), four bread rolls, and two bagels. The bagels need some work, but the scones and bread look okay. (They’re actually cornflour dough – this is the first time I’ve made anything…… Continue reading Fresh Breads (and other delectables)
Busy Baking
Fierro’s has been a flurry of activity, as out the front the finishing touches are being debated and in the back, Hazel has been baking away! She found these bright pink cookie cutters second-hand, and is making a batch of plain biscuits to test them out. (As well as the new rolling pin and baking…… Continue reading Busy Baking
A Baker’s Pantry
Shelves have been installed in Fierro’s back room! The process of filling them up took an afternoon… ….but it’s definitely worth it! It’s quite the baker’s pantry of flavours and decorations – I imagine the bulk bins of things like oats and yeast and such are on the wall behind the camera. We also mounted…… Continue reading A Baker’s Pantry
Hazel’s New Dress
Hazel has now got two dresses in her wardrobe! This one is very similar to the first one in terms of the bodice and skirt, fastening at the back with Velcro and a snap. It’s got very puffy sleeves and two darts at the chest. Either way, I think it will look great under aprons…… Continue reading Hazel’s New Dress
Iced Vovos
Hazel has perfected the recipe for some new biscuits to go in Fierro’s display case… …and they’re a bit of a regional specialty. Iced Vovos! They are a commercial biscuit in Australia, and they have a plain base with a stripe of jam down the middle and pink icing on the sides. All that icing…… Continue reading Iced Vovos
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
