Today I bought Anna and Elsa from the Frozen Little Kingdom series for Anya’s miniature princess collection.

I was asked to decorate the school hallway for spring. For this, I made new kusudamas, flowers, and butterflies from paper. It turned out beautiful!

I crocheted another piglet as a gift for my youngest niece. I hid the whistle in her palm, so he can make a lovely squeaking sound when pressed. I think the child will like it.

Masha found a masterclass on folding an interesting toy using the origami technique online. Together we’ve built such a cute flip-flop.

Masha, together with her grandmother and grandfather, sculpted a cute picture and animal figures from a modeling clay set that was a gift.

Daddy brought me a beautiful doll figurine as a gift—a geisha in a red kimono with a fan. Such dolls are placed as a talisman on Japanese ships.

Today I bought Ron Weasley from the “Harry Potter” series. I wanted to find Hermione and Harry, but they were already sold out. I’ll have to order online. And Ron is very nice and flexible; only his hair is styled.

Today, the second part of my gift from my husband arrived. This is a brand new Joy doll from the Kathe Kruse Kruselings series. It came as a set with two outfits – a New York schoolgirl and a fairy with wings. The set also included a booklet and a comb. Clothing of good quality, with finished seams. The designer of this beauty is Sonya Hartmann. The dark doll has very curly, long brown hair and brown inlaid eyes. The girl’s height is 23 cm, and she has fully articulated legs and arms. The box is designed with a forest fairy tale theme.

I’ll boast about my gift from my beloved husband—it’s a Jollina ballerina doll from Zapf Creation. Doll from 2008, not new. She is as tall as Paola. The most amazing thing is her mobility; she can assume almost any pose. She has drawn eyes and gorgeous light blonde hair. It was sewn in very neatly; the hair only straightened after washing and brushing. The original accessories included pointe shoes, a tutu, and a hair tie, but I received her in a non-original ballet leotard and colorful elastic pants.

Today, in honor of the holiday, Masha decided to give her classmates and teachers Valentine’s cards, so Mom had to work hard and make these hearts.
