The other side of the Post Office box is complete, this time with a leather repairs store. (I know the signage says ‘shoe repairs’, so I tried to compensate with the window displays.) This is the first time I’ve used this brown paper for the window and door frames, and I quite like it. I…… Continue reading More Storefronts

A Good All-Rounder
I saw a round white bag in a magazine a few years ago, made of coiled rope, and I thought, “That’d look great as a miniature bag.” Fast forward to last week, and it’s complete! I crocheted it with a 1mm hook, making two circles with sides before stitching about half the circumference together. Then…… Continue reading A Good All-Rounder
Hazel’s Birthday Gift
Hazel’s birthday is tomorrow! She’s organised to meet with her friends and eat a lot of baked goods, which sounds like the ideal day, to me. As it is a weekday tomorrow, I’ve given Hazel her gift today – this pinafore dress. I tried out a new facing method on it with ribbon, which worked…… Continue reading Hazel’s Birthday Gift
Red & Navy Wool
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
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
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
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
