I crocheted a character from her book – the artist cat Miauslav – as a gift for my writer friend Galya Rys.

For Grandma Natasha’s birthday, we made a paper kusudama with a rose.

Bought a Barbie house fragment today – a student room. We’ll give her to Skipper’s room. There’s a bed here, and a desk with a computer, and a vanity table with a stool.

Today I bought a new Ever After High Cerise Wood doll. In theory, she is the daughter of Little Red Riding Hood and the Wolf. A strange continuation of the fairy tale, but the doll is very cute.

I crocheted an amigurumi bunny for Anechka, and now it sleeps with her in bed.

I crocheted an amigurumi elephant following instructions from the internet. I put wire in his ears, and he holds a little bell with his trunk.

Today I bought a beautiful collectible Barbie Sydney Opera House doll in a lovely outfit styled after the famous building.

While we’re in the hospital, I crocheted a newborn set—a little swimsuit and hat, as if he’s going on vacation to the sea.

Masha and I ended up in the hospital. To liven up the monotony of the ward and keep ourselves occupied, we made kusudama, paper snowflakes, and origami figures.

I braided a bracelet today from ribbon and large beads. I also made two butterfly hair clips from ribbon and beads.
