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
Project Roundup
Well, firstly, I decided to re-make the white chairs in Fierro’s, because the ones I originally made were not stable at all. These new ones are waiting for a few more support toothpicks and then they will be painted to match the pieces I salvaged from the old ones. My second pair of Simplicity 8457’s…… Continue reading Project Roundup
What’s Cooking in Fierro’s
Things have been happening in Fierro’s Bakery recently, and Hazel wanted to show you all. Come on, there’s two things I want to show you! First, we’ve got new plates and trays for the glass display case! The wooden trays will also hold things like cupcakes, and the plates at the bottom are for cakes.…… Continue reading What’s Cooking in Fierro’s
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
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
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
