I crocheted a swimsuit for my beach baby. Now she can sunbathe.

Today I went to the store to buy a gift for my dear niece. The best gift for a girl before a trip to the sea in Italy is a doll who is also going to the beach. So, for Vanessa, I bought Evie, a blonde doll with a pink sun lounger and umbrella, and for Anya and me – a brunette doll. We named the new doll Marta, and she will go with us to Mariupol to the sea, not Italy, of course, but still…

For Anya’s little ones, we bought a property in the form of a folding two-story playhouse with a slide and a swing. The second floor has a folding bed and a dressing table with a mirror. Toys are also included, a rocking horse, a table, 2 chairs, plates with spoons, and a cake with 4 candles. Anya is very happy with the gift, and I am too.

Finished the skirt for FR according to the description from the internet.

Today I accidentally came across a cheap Chinese knock-off of a Mattel set. It’s a doll with a cute elven face and hair of a nice color, the body is well-made, and the arms even spread apart. But the only downside is terribly thin legs, shorts are absolutely out of the question for her! Two cute little dollies came with it. I actually liked them even more than the original miniatures from the set. And, of course, the main value is the pool with turtles, a board, and a swim ring. And all this pleasure for 30 hryvnias instead of 350 – a significant saving, wouldn’t you say?

We named the adult doll Arwen, and the girls Selena and Arya.

To celebrate today’s significant acquisition with substantial savings, my husband has shown unprecedented generosity! He bought me a poseable Barbie Sweetie from the new series with 100 poses just to cheer me up. (more…)

Finished the outfit for our Baby Born today. It consists of a dress, shoes, underwear, and a little hat. I found the dress description online.

Our dear relatives from Germany also brought for Anya a wonderful set of furniture. It’s a rack with various exercise machines, a stationary bike, and some kind of medical couch. (more…)

Today our relatives from Berlin gave Anyuta a Polly Pocket set, which included 2 glamorous kittens and a dachshund. And upon hearing about the photoshoot, our blue-eyed Persian cat, who belongs to Tyler, also came to pose for pictures.

Tried to assemble a topiary from artificial flowers today.
