I dressed up another Tonner doll today – Peggy. Her rather revealing outfit didn’t really fit the overall dress code of the display window. I sewed a sundress for Peggy from lightweight fabric, picked out a hat to match, and made her a beaded necklace.

Made a hyacinth out of beads for my mother, following a pattern from the internet.

Tried Anya’s decoupage kit today. Made a beautiful plate with lilies as a gift for Grandma Zhenya.

I’ve finished my first beaded artwork using a bead embroidery kit and ribbons, almost simultaneously. I also braided a bracelet from beads and seed beads. And Anya and I made a braided paper basket.

Anya has been slipping felt fawn patterns to me for a long time. Finally, Mom got around to it, and we sewed a beautiful Bambi fawn.

Today, another of my beauties arrived – a fiery red, green-eyed Tyler Classic Elegance from 2013 in a gorgeous black velvet dress.

I sewed an evening dress from stretch crimson velvet for Suzette today. I also made her gold earrings and a shawl. Now she doesn’t hesitate to stand on the shelf with all the other girls.

With Anya, I made two-sided paper hearts as a gift for her classmates for Valentine’s Day, even though she can’t stand them. But at least we spent the evening being creative together.

I crocheted a couple of funny amigurumi sheep today. I found the tutorial online.

I sewed a sky-blue and turquoise dress for Tyler from a piece of elastic fabric, and decorated it with sequins. And to complete the look, I braided a beaded necklace and earrings.
