We don't celebrate Halloween in Russia, but we know much about this holiday and many crafters just adore all sorts of Halloween patterns and characters. I like witches :) If I were to choose which fairy tale character to be, I would choose to become a witch. So far I am going to show you two things that were made for Halloween occasion for my friends who celebrate it :)<br />

and I continue dreaming of a short vacation at the seaside. Well, not this year…
Anyway, if I can’t go to the sea, let it come to me! This Tilda-doll and her
pet whale is the beginning of my “Seaside Dreams” series of works. Hopefully,
you will enjoy watching my creations as much as I enjoy making all this stuff.

are over, it’s time to come back to my daily routine. For instance, drink some
tea with an elephant. I should tell that miracles did not leave me with the end
of the festive season. So, one bright winter morning I found myself sewing something
(or somebody?) with big ears! And in a few hours I could introduce my friends
to a cute little girl-elephant Sonya. </span></div>

with I want to show you my latest finished work – a Tilda style doll called Stella
di Mare. She appeared out of pieces of
cotton and satin cloth plus a bit of my blue mood, dreams to spend a vacation
at the Mediterranean and good old blues songs. So, here is my Stella di Mare
and her small tale.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b>A Tale in Blue</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">It was a nasty
winter day. One of many nasty winter days in Stella’s life. She was sitting all
alone in her small room in the attics. She hated being bored. Not to feel cold
and sad she began to recall her summer vacation: the blue sea, nights under
dark-blue sky, people playing frisbee and their dogs. They all seemed blue
because of the clear twilight. She remembered pretty blue starfish thrown at
the shore by a storm the day before. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Stella
looked through her window, blue snow-drifts brightly glittered in the light of
blue street lamps. Blue people hurried home to rest from their blue daily
routine. She sat on a windowsill and began to draw blue stars on her blue
frozen window.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
