A few weeks ago I wrote a letter to the Princess, and asked if she would like to present her clothes on my page in the internet. She said yes and gave me a date for the photo shoot.

The “Bling Bling dolls” are Amigurumi with pearls for arms and legs. They strum and sparkle, rock and twist, in short, they are very funny and it is a quick crochet project.
So there is plenty of time for all the other summer activities! I want to crochet different characters from books and movies and I’m very excited to post here the first instruction for a “Bling Bling Doll“.
Two weeks ago my husband came home (with a big smile on his face), he held two puppies in his arms and asked me if we could raise them. One puppy will stay with us and the other one will be with his father, once he grows up.
I have a lot of fondest Easter memories as a child. Of course, coloring Easter eggs were one of my favorite things to do at Easter. But one time we kids (there were three of us) got a very great gift: Roller skates!
