On the windows of the new group that opened in the gym, I drew Elmer the Elephant from the popular children’s book.

Organized a winter reading week on the stage. And added some hearts for Valentine’s Day too.

Since the supermarket theme for the younger groups continues until the holidays, I have redecorated the children’s hall with a shop theme. Now they have a place where they can enjoy playing shopkeeper and customer.

The school play needed supermarket decorations. Here’s what I came up with.

For my niece Tanechka’s name day, I barely managed to finish crocheting Demogorgon before the movers arrived—a character from her favorite show, Stranger Things.

Купила в сувенирной лавке замка Де Хаар славного маленького рыжего котика, спящего в мягкой лежаночке. A lovely reminder of a fairytale atmosphere, magical lanterns, beautiful music, and a lovely snowy evening.

Masha assembled her New Year’s Lego desk composition with candle number 40743.

I finally finished my last year’s club project—an embroidered biscornu cushion. I chose a pattern with watermelons. I liked the result.

Today, a lot of snow fell in the Netherlands, which is very unexpected, and I built a snowman as per tradition. It turned out big and beautiful. Here’s a photo of it before it melted.

I didn’t manage to photograph my New Year’s home decor yesterday, so I’m making up for it now.
