I crocheted an amigurumi bunny for Anechka, and now it sleeps with her in bed.

I crocheted an amigurumi elephant following instructions from the internet. I put wire in his ears, and he holds a little bell with his trunk.

Today I bought a beautiful collectible Barbie Sydney Opera House doll in a lovely outfit styled after the famous building.

While we’re in the hospital, I crocheted a newborn set—a little swimsuit and hat, as if he’s going on vacation to the sea.

Masha and I ended up in the hospital. To liven up the monotony of the ward and keep ourselves occupied, we made kusudama, paper snowflakes, and origami figures.

I braided a bracelet today from ribbon and large beads. I also made two butterfly hair clips from ribbon and beads.

I learned another interesting technique today – I wove a floral necklace from wire, and filled the petals with nail polish. It turned out very delicate.

Four new Tonner dolls have arrived – a 2004 RTW Carrie, a 2011 Dove DC Stars Kit, a 2006 City Style Kit, and a 2011 Carol Barrie basic.

I dressed up another Tonner doll today – Peggy. Her rather revealing outfit didn’t really fit the overall dress code of the display window. I sewed a sundress for Peggy from lightweight fabric, picked out a hat to match, and made her a beaded necklace.

Made a hyacinth out of beads for my mother, following a pattern from the internet.
