On request from a friend, I embroidered a microscope as a gift for a microbiologist.

Mastered a new technique for beading miniature trees. I made a few charms and keychains for gifts.

Tried making some new crafts—dream catchers as gifts for friends and the girls’ teachers. I liked the result, and the recipients did too.

I tried sewing outfits for Barbie from ready-made sets. The patterns don’t quite fit, but the colors and prints are very cute. The clothes fit the yogas doll series.

Hooray! I finished this big project before Masha grew out of it. It’s funny, I started crocheting it as a dress for Paola, and then the idea came up to modify the pattern for children’s clothing. Until the very end of the work, I was figuring out how to finish the piece. But I like the result, and Masha does too.

Today I was at a report exhibition of children’s artwork. Masha went to classes at Creatielab, where she made two wonderful owls, a rocket, and a sign with her name. Although Masha didn’t go to the club with particular enjoyment, she is proud of her work.
