Masha got into pixel art. She makes very cute keychains. She makes many things from ready-made patterns, but she invents some herself.

Today there was a street fair to celebrate a major city holiday. I found a rare little doll—a baby from 1976, from the Heart family playground friends series—for only 1 euro! She was dirty and wearing a knitted dress, but I washed her, brushed her hair, and crocheted her a new sailor-style dress.

I embroidered two pictures of little angels with beads quite quickly, using ready-made patterns that I bought a long time ago. I put them in frames and am posting them on the website.

For a colleague’s grandson, I crocheted a rattle on a ring—a funny blue hippopotamus with a bell inside, so he can chew on it and listen to the jingle.

To celebrate Masha’s birthday, Anya received a new Frenkie Stein monster doll from 2016. Anya thinks that, of course, they added an anime feel with these huge eyes, but at the same time they lost some of their monster charm.

I tinkered a bit with a store-bought lamp tree and turned it into an autumn maple. I made the same one for my friend’s daughter.

I made cupcakes for the teachers at school and a cake for celebrating our Masha’s birthday for tomorrow. This year, the theme turned out to be Hello Kitty.

I finished crocheting a set for Anya consisting of a hat, snood, and mittens. She liked it.

I embroidered a protective icon for the car with beads from a purchased kit.

I crocheted new little dresses for my favorite little niece Tanya’s dolls.
