We have a colleague retiring from our school – Marike, a 8th-grade teacher. I worked with her a lot when I was decorating musicals. She’s very cool and creative, it’s sad that Masha won’t be able to study with her anymore. Therefore, in a fit of emotion, I literally made her a hanging tree of life out of wire in just an hour.

Catholic Easter is approaching, so I decorated the podium, the main hall, and the children’s hall with spring and Easter themes. I mainly used materials from last year.

I have absolutely no inspiration for creative work at home. I wander from corner to corner and can’t start a single project. It’s good that the need to change the school’s interior by spring has stirred me up a bit. And here I’ve decorated the windows with flowers and butterflies, just like last year. But on the entrances and windows of the teachers’ room, I painted spring cherry blossoms and young birches with paints.

This is the first thing I have been able to do since the beginning of russia’s full-scale war against Ukraine. We were collecting aid for children refugees from Ukraine at school, and I wanted to put a postcard with patriotic symbols in one of the boxes. After all the horrors that the “russian world” (russian freaks) brought to my country and to my hometown Mariupol, I seriously want to create a Ukrainian version of the website because it has become unpleasant to maintain it in russian.
