My husband brought me two American dolls as a gift, characters from the game “Stardoll” – one African-American and one redhead. And he also brought dolls of popular American TV presenters Tim McGraw and Faith Hill.

Decided to take photos of Ani’s Monster High dolls—these are fakes of Clawdeen Wolf, fakes of Venus McFlytrap, fakes of Ghoulia Yelps, and fakes of Draculaura. And also the Frenkie Stein pen doll.

Finally took photos of the Ever After High dolls I’ve been collecting. This is a fake Apple White, a fake Ashlynn Ella, a fake Raven Queen, a fake Briar Beauty, and a fake Madelyn Hatter.

I bought a beautiful curly dark-skinned Barbie in a gold dress today – Barbie The Look Red Carpet. She has a beautiful face and eyes with neatly defined eyelashes.

For a school holiday, Anya had various paper-cut autumn leaves made. And for myself, I made an autumn leaf from quilling strips.

I took a picture of Anya’s doll today in orange shorts, a cap, a white top, and with a purse. The doll has a tattoo of two hearts on its belly.

Masha received the long-awaited Disney princesses for her birthday – Anna, a poseable Rapunzel, Aurora, Cinderella, and a fake Elsa. And for myself, I bought the China Princess from the Dolls of the World series and the Barbie Princess Tea Party.

We braided friendship bracelets for Anya out of ribbons, following the instructions from the braiding kit.

I crocheted a character from her book – the artist cat Miauslav – as a gift for my writer friend Galya Rys.

For Grandma Natasha’s birthday, we made a paper kusudama with a rose.
