And I have finished my first big napkin. It wasn’t difficult to crochet, the pattern is lace, and the yarn is Alize Bella. My neighbor started crocheting it under my guidance. But the busy Dutch woman only had time for one row. Therefore, I finished it myself. I stretched it, ironed it, and gave it to my neighbor. Carla was very pleased, and I am immensely proud of myself!

I sewed a purse for Anya out of old Rostik’s jeans. It has one compartment and two pockets. Decorative ornaments are purchased.

Today I finally finished crocheting Sadness from the movie “Inside Out.” I really love this character. I found the description online, Yarn Arn Jeans thread.

Following Kasatka’s description, I made a dress with long sleeves for Paolka. It turned out beautiful!

Anyuta became fascinated with motanka dolls. I am exhibiting her work. I like it very, very much!

At the 1000 Cultures festival in Amsterdam, a man bought me a new-model Nora Paola in an African ethnic outfit. Lovely curly child!

My four Tonner friends have arrived. We ordered them in the Netherlands already. Even though I already have Brenda and Jane, it would be a shame not to get them at this price. They are wearing funny knitted dresses. Here they are – Brenda, Jane, Angelina and… Brenda!

I love crocheting from Kasatka’s patterns. Quickly and clearly. Here’s another sundress for Paolka. I think it suits her.

A wonderful little puppy named Telnyashka came out of a ready-made sock toy sewing kit. Anya filled out her “Birth Certificate.”

Here’s my first experience making sequin bracelets. The girls liked it, I did too.
