I crocheted a mouse out of velour yarn for Mommy. Made the front paws movable using a wire attachment. And glued eyelashes onto the little eyes. A very sweet lady came out.

Before the Easter holidays, I updated the spring theme on the stage with Easter eggs, and a colleague even brought live chicks.

In a toy shop in Gouda, I came across this lovely curly ginger girl. I’ve wanted a Kristi with curly hair for a long time, so I bought her immediately. Her outfit is also nice and well-made.

At the flea market, I found cute, rare dolls – a boy and a girl from the Mini kids collection by Simba. Unfortunately, I cannot determine their year of manufacture. Together with them, I bought a wooden swing.

Today a package arrived with the last and most important character from the Harry Potter series, with Harry himself in the form of a Quidditch player. It was very difficult to find it in stores, I had to order it online. The boy is adorable and doesn’t differ from other dolls in the series except for his outfit. This is great because I was worried he would be taller than the others.

I bought another character from the “Harry Potter” collection—it’s Hermione in her Hogwarts school uniform. She doesn’t really look like the original, but she’s still cute and articulated. So, that will be my birthday present.

Today I stumbled upon some Lalaloopsy dolls with a big discount at the store. Therefore, we now have five new dolls—one in a bathrobe, a banjo-playing musician, a baker with fresh pastries, an artist with a painting, and a girl in a fluffy cat costume with a purple kitten.

The girls at McDonald’s Happy Meals got three mini Barbies—a surfer, a firefighter, and a race car driver. The dolls are minimally functional, the clothes aren’t removable, the arms and legs don’t bend, but on the plus side, they have sewn-in hair.

Today I accidentally saw a keychain with a little Monchhichi in the store and bought it. She is very sweet, fluffy, with a long tail, and wearing a red bib.

Decided to try making lace mirrors. Four bedroom mirrors were made using paper towel rolls.
