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.

Tried diamond painting today—added sparkle to the stars in Van Gogh’s painting.

Today I finished making dresses for our L.O.L. dolls and even little outfits for the smallest ones.

Crocheted a little something for a new doll—a fancy sundress with a puffy lace skirt.

Today my first BJD doll arrived—Pukifee Bonnie. I’ve been dreaming of a BJD doll for a long time, but they were out of our budget. But finally, I found a relatively inexpensive used doll with delivery to the Netherlands. The little one is very cute; the eyelashes are glued on. I actually swapped the wigs with my Toтner Jess. I like it better this way.

Here’s everything I managed to make for the King’s Day sale—earrings, hair ties, and hair clips. Not enough for sale, so let’s postpone commercialization until next year.

However, we managed to successfully stock up for our collection. We found used Kelly dolls from the “Island Princess” series – two on small elephants and one on a large one. The small elephants can move on wheels, and the large one can lift a girl and sit on its back.

We also found a cute African-American Ken, but I haven’t recognized him yet.

We also bought a Miri Cold days doll from the Super Models series by Simba toys. It was new in the box.

Anya bought herself a used, large Lalaloopsy and three mini Lalaloopsies with a car; I haven’t identified them yet either.

We also found a cool rocking chair for Paola and a set of mannequins with a sewing machine for Barbie’s atelier.

Today I brought home my new little ones—a grey-eyed brunette named Mali, a blue-eyed Carol with a straight part, a green-eyed Christie with fiery hair, and mischievous Cleo with two pigtails. The girls arrived only in underwear, now I will dress them.

Anechka received Enchantimals Ohana Owl and Enchantimals Merit Monkey dolls for her birthday. And also a large set of L.O.L. Pearl Surprise with two dolls.

I wanted to crochet a beach set for the new girl, Paola. Based on the description of Kasatka, I made a swimsuit and pareo with beads. Even taking photos of her turned out to be possible in good weather.
