This 81-Year-Old Babushka Is Taking Embroidery To A New Level

If you thought handmade embroidery was boring, the Instagram account of Julia Aleshicheva, 81, will change your mind. The Russian babushka, who describes herself as a “dementia fighter,” is making handicrafts cool again!

Follow @girl_from_1938 and start enjoying colorful works depicting cats, women, characters from the Bible, reproductions of famous paintings, and even a portrait of Spice Girls! The latter, by the way, took the artist 2.5 months to make.
