At the doll and doll miniature exhibition, I bought a brand new baby Kelly from the cartoon “The Princess and the Pauper.”
Finished another autumn project for school. This time, I cut out leaves and umbrellas and covered all the school windows with them. Very tired, but I like the result!
I prepared a poster for the wall for Children’s Book Week. The teachers took photos in costumes of different professions for the quest. And I framed them and put them together in a poster. I also fashioned a mailbox for completed questionnaires out of old books. The children liked it, and the teachers did too.
A new series of Mattel’s Harry Potter characters has been released. I bought Harry and Hermione for myself. They are so cool! They have large heads and anime-like faces. And I also found a cute house-elf named Dobby with a sock.
Masha received a gorgeous, fully articulated doll with an anime-style face for her birthday. I put a new wig on her and dressed her in a Bonnie dress.
Today is Masha’s birthday! She is already 10 years old! I still can’t believe it! We plan to celebrate this date in style. First with the neighbors, then with her school friends, then with her grandparents and our family friends.
Here’s how I decorated the school entrance, podium, and hall with an autumn theme. A lot of paper cuttings had to be made. It’s good that I have an assistant like Cricut.
I couldn’t resist walking past a pile of Barbie dolls at the secondhand store again. They were in good condition and really didn’t want to stay naked in the dust among the old toys. I bought them, washed them, and dressed them. A couple of dolls are repeated from the ones I already have. And I also found a little baby doll and a pink-haired Mattel fairy.
Today I accidentally came across wonderful Star Wars Barbie dolls in a toy store—it’s Rey and a Stormtrooper. They were being sold at a significant discount, and I couldn’t resist… The looks are wonderfully detailed, from the hairstyle and makeup to the shoes! And the boxes are simply works of art! I haven’t even printed them yet, which is very unusual of me. And also, I’ve been eyeing the Barbie “I love you” in a beautiful heart-patterned dress for a long time, and today I bought her too! Hooray!
This is one of the very first toys from my childhood! Dad gave it to me when I was about three, as far as I remember. Then she seemed so big to me! We named her Marya Pistonovna. This bear had brown eyes, and I was a little afraid to look her in the eyes. But now her parents have moved her from Mariupol to Lviv, I washed and refilled my old toy with new stuffing. And most importantly, I changed her eyes to blue. Now I simply adore it and hope that my grandchildren will enjoy playing with this wonderful toy too!
