Finished embroidering a picture of a “Butterfly with a Rose” with ribbons and beads from a Danko Toys embroidery kit today. Managed to finish by Valentine’s Day.
She started finalizing the gift for the newborn. To pack the family of giraffes, they needed something to sit them on. And here I made my first cake out of a pack of diapers as a base for the composition. And Anya and Rostik also helped me come up with a logo for my crafts.
Today I picked up my beautiful 16” Tonner Gone with the Wind Scarlett O’Hara Vivien Leigh “My Tara” doll from 2012, limited to 350 pieces, at the post office. She has a 16-inch body with articulated wrists, Tyler’s skin tone, dark chestnut hair, and large curls firmly set with hairspray. The dolls from this mold have beautifully drawn green eyes, a direct gaze, and the famous raised right eyebrow.
Scarlett came to me nude, but with a stand. Her original outfit was an olive-green dress and a straw hat. But I dressed her in a “Barbecue at 12 Oaks” dress, which looked wonderful on her. I’m so happy that another long-standing wish of mine has come true, although the shipping from the States and the tax cost almost as much as the doll itself. Now I will try to choose dolls from Europe.
At school, during the drawing lesson, Anya had to create a painting based on any of Van Gogh’s works. Today she finished it and even made a little stop-motion with a ladybug. Получилось очень красиво, я лишь чуточку подправила мазки в конце. I’m proud of my artist!
At school, I finished decorating the hall for the upcoming holiday—Valentine’s Day. I made paper-cut decorations, garlands of two-toned braided hearts, and hung the hearts on two artificial trees in pots.
Finally finished the last member of the giraffe family—a little giraffe girl. I got the description from the internet, but I modified the head myself. It turned out very splendidly! Inside the tummy is a squeaker, so this little one can squeak happily.
Crocheted a new dress for Seventeen in a couple of days. Red suits her very well. And also came up with a set of jewelry consisting of beaded earrings and a necklace.
My husband ordered me a Scarlett doll from Tonner. And since she’s coming to arrive nude, we ordered her a “Barbecue” outfit. Today he arrived, it’s a layered dress, a belt, tights, shoes, a hat, and two bows. While the owner hasn’t arrived yet, the new Seventeen tried on the dress.
Masha was given a set with a diamond fairy. She assembled most of the picture herself, but I finished it.
Next week, the school will be holding a reading week. For this, I added decorations made from old books to the forest landscape. Everyone liked it.
