A lamb for the godmother.

After eight years of separation, I finally saw my godmother. I wanted to give her some handmade gift from me. And since she’s also an Aries, I crocheted for her such a cute little sheep.


Yoga pose from Gapchinska

I really love the drawings of the artist Gapchinska. And here is the bead embroidery I made using one of the kits. This will be a gift for the wonderful girl Galya, who works as a yoga instructor in faraway Tasmania.


Teddy bears for twins

Finished making gifts for my little twin nephews—a musical velour yarn bears boy and girll.


My mini Paolas

Finally received my mini Paola’s, which had been waiting for me in Ukraine since spring. This is Martina, a blonde with a bob, and Paola, a strawberry blonde with highlights. Adorable little girls, only their strangely drawn eyebrows are a bit annoying


 

Sea wolf for daddy.

On the way home, I finished putting together a gift for my dad – a sea wolf. He’s cute, with hinged paws and nautical tattoos on his shoulders. I hope Dad will like it, he even looks a little like it.


Rey Doll from Star Wars

I bought a cute articulated Jedi doll, Rey of Jakku, with a small BB-8 robot today. The doll knows how to handle a sword.


Anna’s diamond mosaic paintings.

Anyuta became captivated by the topic of diamond mosaic and she created pictures of the “Tower Bridge,” “Little Owl,” and a sticker with a pair of owlets.


Set designs for the musical

At the end of the year, the graduating class at our school always performs a musical. This year, I was asked to help decorate the stage for the musical “Planet of Celebration.” It turned out beautiful!


Anna’s new kumihimo.

Our domestic silkworm Anyuta spun new kumihimo bracelets.


Farewell gifts for teachers.

The school year is coming to an end, and as a tradition, children give farewell gifts to their teachers because they are moving to a new class with new teachers. Masha and I made farewell cards for the teaching assistants. And for the main items, we prepared embroidered phone cases and crocheted teacups, as the gift theme was suggested to be “tea bags with kind wishes.”
