I crocheted a symbol of the upcoming year based on a description from the internet. It turned out to be quite large, very soft, and with a squeaker inside.

For the school holiday, we decorated the podium to look like Sinterklaas room. This year, the Pits must be white, so we had to repaint and reupholster our Black Pits. I liked the result. The children, teachers, and Sinterklaas were pleased.

Today at TK Maxx, as always, I stumbled upon new Lori dolls. I bought two little ones—Ensley and Aurie. They are very sweet and happily joined their friends.

I bought an African-American Barbie Fashionistas 146 with a prosthesis today. She is very sweet and pretty; she has beautiful hair and chocolate brown skin. I was a little disappointed that it wasn’t very mobile. Because the other doll with a knee prosthesis could bend it, but this one couldn’t.

I finished this cosmetic bag today, following the master class on the new two-tone pattern from the “Krea Doe” exhibition. It zips up.

Mariya assembled a tropical picture from diamond mosaic on her new notebook today.
