I crocheted a white dress, like the one Marilyn Monroe wore, based on a description from the internet.

My husband and I went to Kyiv to the German embassy to apply for visas. This was already our second trip – the first one went badly because of confusion with the documents. Even on our first trip, we stopped by the toy store “Budinok Igrashok” and saw a cute Nikki from the beach series there. But we were so upset then that they returned our documents, that we simply forgot to go back to that store and buy her. But this time our documents were perfectly prepared, and after receiving our visas, we went into a little shop and, in our joy, bought as many as two dolls – Teresa Fashion and beach Nikki.

 

Theresa has very unusual legs – they are completely plastic and don’t bend, but she has amazing core strength. Her arms only move up and down, unlike Nikki’s. The girls were named Rachel and Nikki.

 

Based on an online description, I made a beach outfit for Barbie.

Crocheted a swimsuit and a sundress for Evie. It turned out beautiful, but it’s very uncomfortable to crochet with satin yarn.

As a birthday gift for Mom, I embroidered a card with a kitten.

Here we are on holiday! It’s so great to finally get away to warmer place! And in the very first supermarket, I ran into Evie in a winter outfit.
Funny thing is, it cost half as much as identical Evies, but in summer clothes. Apparently, a seasonal discount. I certainly couldn’t resist the doll for such a funny price. We named her Polina.

And the second girl is quite an unusual personage. It was sold in a tube box, with no name or manufacturer written on it. But she looks very much like Sonya, just smaller in stature and even more graceful. I named her Dinka because of her curly hair.

We’re getting ready to go on a trip – I’m going with my daughter to relax at our parents’ place by the sea. The train ride is 28 hours, I need to occupy the child with a new toy. Therefore, today I bought two little Evies. A brunette in an autumn raincoat with an umbrella and a dog. We named her Sandra.

 

And the second is a little girl with pigtails on a wonderful pink bicycle, with articulated legs, a helmet, and a water bottle. She responds to the name Santa. It’s a pity that all the faces of the Evies are drawn exactly the same.

Today I decided to run around the children’s stores looking for something interesting for my doll residents. And found two cute guys at reasonable prices. The first one is Barbie California girl Tropical beach. Very beautiful face and figure. She can even stand up on her own. Now we need to figure out what to put on this slipper, because no standard-sized shoe will fit her large feet. We named the beauty Caroline.

And the second copy is the “Will you marry me?” Ken doll. The Barbie from this series is very expensive, and this Ken cost even less compared to other Kens. He has a handsome face and a decent hairstyle.

The suit looks decent on the outside, but the pants are sewn to the shirt like a jumpsuit, and the shirt is sleeveless under the jacket. That’s how the manufacturers slacked off. But still, I really like him, and his name is Rostislav.

Anechka is having a birthday today! Here are some of her gifts that would be suitable for a collection. Mini groom and bride Felix and Karen, and we have Seryozha and Svetochka.

The Disney fairy Tinker Bell – we just call her Bellochka, Anya chose her in the store herself, and she turned out to be very expensive, for no apparent reason. Doll fish from the Zodiac series – Goldie.

And a wonderful gift from the godmother – a treehouse with a bunch of accessories, a cat, a dog, and a bird, as well as two girls from Simba Toys – we named them Tanya and Valya. Anyutka is delighted with the gifts and with the holiday. Now she asks every day when the birthday will be 🙂

My daughter’s birthday is approaching, but it’s my celebration too. Therefore, I couldn’t resist and bought myself a gift – Prince Derek from the 12 Dancing Princesses series.

Funny thing is, I don’t have a single princess from this series, but I have a prince – gladly! He’s a very handsome and noble man, a brunette with meticulously styled hair, but the main thing is – he’s flexible! And a whole shoe store came with it – 12 pairs of women’s shoes and pointe shoes in various colors. I named the boy Pierre. It’s immediately noticeable that he is fond of FR Veronika. I hope she reciprocates his feelings.
