Check out these beautiful Babushkas! Our members have harnessed their "inner Russians" to create these one-of-a-kind works of art. The bead-along was in progress during March/April/May and was extended a couple of weeks into June. The results were worth waiting for! Everyone did a wonderful job! Thanks to everyone who participated!
Group members, remember to go and cast your vote for the favorite here. You have until June 22 to cast your vote. If you're not yet a member of our group, think about all the fun you're missing! You're welcome to join the group by clicking here!
You may be thinking, "what is a babushka?" The word "babushka" has multiple meanings. It is the Russian word for Grandmother. It is also the word for a triangular headscarf, often worn by a Russian peasant woman. Many people use the word to describe Russian nesting dolls (see photo below), but the correct word for the dolls is actually "Matryoshka."
If you're interested in the history of the Russian nesting doll, here's a very informative link for you:
