Today I learned that my friend’s dog passed away after a serious illness. It’s so sad when these loyal family members pass away. Made a sympathy card.

It’s hard to believe, but Anechka is 16 today! Here are the cakes for a delicious celebration.

I prepared congratulatory cards for my friends’ upcoming birthdays.

I was asked to decorate Masha’s school for King’s Day. Here’s what turned out! I hung these garlands in the colors of the Dutch flag on all the windows of the school. Everyone was happy, and the celebration was a success!

Today, I made another seashell based on an online description, this time a Nautilus. I crocheted it with the same ribbon yarn using a crochet hook number 5.

Today I finished crocheting a bulky Triton shell using knitted yarn, following instructions from the internet. I liked the result; I really want to listen a sea from it.

Today, as part of an experimental program during the pandemic, the famous Keukenhof flower park opened for visitors. This amazing offer is only valid for three days, and the forecast promised good weather only for today. Therefore, Rostik and I took a quick COVID test and, with negative results, were allowed to admire the floral beauty. Bonnie the doll snuck into the park with me in my bag. I took a few cute pictures of her to remember this historic event.

On this festive day, the girls prepared gifts for me—Anya braided a beautiful friendship bracelet, and Masha drew a blossoming cherry blossom. Thank you so much, my dears!

And today I finished the second character from my dad’s favorite cartoon “Once Upon a Time There Was a Dog” – the Wolf. Knitted with Alize Yarnart threads according to a pattern by Natalia Lobzova. The wolf turned out to be very similar to the original. Now he is looking forward to the opportunity to go to Lviv and meet a friend.
