Stumbled upon some unusual Moxie Girls today. There are actually 6 of them, but I liked the dark chestnut one with a ginger strand of hair. Her name is Bria. The doll’s arms and legs don’t bend. It came with an ice cream-shaped comb.

Anya is taking courses and, with my help, has learned to crochet, and today she finished crocheting a cute bag made of rectangular motifs. It turned out beautiful and functional. I am proud of my girl!

Made a toy rabbit out of a sock. Anya named him Edward; he looks like a character from Kate DiCamillo’s book.

The girls made a personalized t-shirt for their dad as a declaration of love. Written with markers on fabric. How they used their palms and feet as stencils.

Finished drawing Simon’s Cat today. The girls really like this character. Now we have our own cheeky and perpetually hungry kitty living with us.

Today is my mommy’s birthday. For such a summer event, daisies are the most suitable flowers. Therefore, as a gift, I embroidered a picture of “Daisies” with ribbons and beads. I’ll send it over soon, wait!

Anechka finished crocheting her rectangular cat. Today we finished registering him, and we have a cute little kitten, whom Anya named Malysh and makes up whole stories about.

Today I was suddenly compelled to crochet bracelets. Made three—one in the shape of a nautical knot, the second with a tulip pattern, and the third on an orange base with beads in the colors of the Dutch flag.

Today I quickly embroidered two pairs of sunglasses and cases for them. I bought the basics a long time ago, but I just haven’t had the inspiration to start embroidering. So now Anya and Masha are showing off their new and stylish summer accessories.

Yesterday, friends also gave Masha a papier-mâché fox form, ready for painting or decoupage. And today Masha painted it herself with gouache, I just tweaked the eyes a little. It turned out to be a very cute little creature that Masha enjoys playing with.
