For baptism, I gave Anya a handmade doll. It was already sewn, only the dress and shoes needed decorating, and the hair needed to be stitched. With Anna’s help and under her attentive guidance, Svetlana turned out to be such a beauty.
The girls made mosaic watches with adorable bears. The decoration for the children’s room turned out great. And Anya can also practice telling time; she’s forgotten how to use mechanical clocks with those digital ones.
For Old New Year’s, I made two necklaces and two bracelets for the girls using “Komilfo” bead kits.
Finished the guinea pig for Anya, as promised. I really like this thread—it’s soft and smooth.
Finally finished another modular origami snowflake. I took her with me to Lviv, but I never got around to it there.
For Christmas, the good girl Lena received the Disney princess Belle. A beauty, and with movable hands too!
Ded Moroz brought me two articulated Barbie dolls from the Made to Move series—a red-haired beauty with freckles and a blonde dark-skinned girl.
For the Christmas dinners at the schools, the girls prepared candy Christmas trees for the teachers and cookies for the children.
Saint Nicholas came to our obedient Anya and brought her MacKayle MacAlister. Cute girl, character from the Netflix series “Project E=MC2”. The doll looks very much like my niece Vanessa.
