Blooming cherry blossom

I finally finished my beaded composition—a blooming cherry blossom on the shore of a pond. It turned out beautifully! I especially enjoyed decorating the clearing around the tree and placing new inhabitants there—bunnies, a frog, and a bird with chicks.


New dolls with long hair

Today I bought some cute dolls – Hairdorables Willow, Candy Locks Straw Mary, and two little ones, Donna Nut and Jilly Jelly, as well as a lovely little one from the Hair dooz bottle. The girls really enjoyed braiding their many strands of hair.


 

My and Mariya’s artwork.

Today I painted a picture, “Bridge in Venice” following a master class from an oil pastel drawing set. And Masha found two master classes on painting with acrylics on the Internet and painted two new pictures – “Sunset over the sea” and “Night Forest.” She’s very good at it.


Cakes for Anya

Today Anechka received as many as two cakes for her birthday. It’s hard to believe she’s turned fifteen!


Anya’s BTS boys

Anna’s birthday is coming up soon, and this year she really fell in love with the South Korean group BTS and is a big fan of its members. When I found out that Mattel released dolls based on these boys, we decided to order a gift for Anya—the entire BTS group in miniature. And so they all came, seven rather cute dolls in cool costumes and sturdy shoes. Ball-jointed dolls, they even have wrist and ankle joints. The hair is well sewn in, and the faces are even more similar to the originals. So Anya was happy with the gift.


Preparation for King’s Day

King’s Day is approaching, and I was asked to make something themed for a video at our school. I made four sets of beaded earrings and bracelets and crocheted a cosmetic bag. And also, the doll Elena posed a little in a traditional orange dress with Dutch flags and a balloon.


 

Masha’s painting

Today, Masha painted a picture called “African Sunset” following an online masterclass. I only helped her draw the giraffes. Honestly, I’m shocked at how beautiful it turned out for an eight-year-old girl. Talent is growing.


Chair cover

Today I finished the piano bench cover for Masha’s piano stool. Used thick yarn in the color scheme of Masha’s room.


Easter cards

For friends who are celebrating Easter today, I made greeting cards using a Cricut Maker.


Easter crafts by Masha

The school assigned us to make new crafts for the upcoming Catholic Easter. Masha and I made two baskets and an Easter bunny.
