I present my vacation projects – a tunic, a hat, and a lined beach bag, a swimsuit with a pareo, and a summer sundress for my little Greek girl.

Here we finally made it on vacation to Crete. I am enjoying the peace and the sea. Inspired, I crocheted several outfits for little Barbie. And today we went on an excursion to the wonderful Balos beach, where the little one happily posed for me in a beach photoshoot.

Finished a gift for my colleague Jakolina, who is retiring. I crocheted her characters from the popular Dutch children’s book Yip and Janneke. There were no diagrams for them anywhere, so I had to figure it out on my own. But I am very pleased with the result, and Jakoline really liked the gift.

Today I baked cupcakes for Masha’s babyshower in her classroom.

Today is Masha’s elementary school graduation evening. For its decoration, I made a floral arch out of balloons, and together with the curtain of colorful ribbons, it looked like a Ukrainian wreath. Everyone really enjoyed taking pictures in front of him on the red carpet.

The teacher-car is waiting for the child, and the children decided to prepare gifts for her at the babyshower party. I made a gift cake out of diapers, shampoo, and socks. It turned out very solid and beautiful.

This year, the school musical is especially dear to me – it’s a production of the Mariyas klass. It’s called “Allle remmen los” and the whole action takes place on a bus. I took on all the decorations and styling myself. Danita, the children, and even Lyuba helped me. The result was really cool, everyone liked it very much, and both runs went very well.

My favorite pirate, Captain Jack Sparrow Johnny Depp Pirates of The Caribbean 17” doll LE3000 from 2007, arrived today. He arrived at my place secondhand, without a hat, bandana, or pistol, and one of his belts broke right on him. But that’s fixable, and I’m happy that such a dashing man will spice up Toner’s ladies’ company.

Today at the Wurden flea market, I found and bought some interesting dolls: a Sindy Soft Body doll from 1995, a school set, and two Barbie Little Friends babies—a boy and a girl, a retro Barbie Little Friends baby, and a Babysitter Skipper set with three triplets holding on for hugs. Overall, I really got lucky visiting the market this year.

At the doll and doll miniature exhibition, I bought a custom Blythe doll imitation, a small articulated custom doll in the style of Anne Shirley, an unidentified Kelly baby doll with a short haircut, a Barbie Little Friends doll with violet eyes, another Headley from the 12 Dancing Princesses, an unidentified Barbie possibly from the Holidays series with cut hair, a Barbie California girl from 2004-2005, a Barbie with the Fairytopia Wonder Fairy Joybelle Hada Azul 2004 mechanism, and an unidentified retro Stacy doll.
