A year later, I went into a TK Max store and found another doll from Lory—a dark-haired brunette named Ilissa. She isn’t in a ballet costume, but in casual clothes. But a puppy came with it.

Today is Mariya’s birthday. I baked two cakes for the teachers and girlfriends.

There will soon be a school-wide trip to the zoo. And the younger grades will have a themed day dedicated to the zoo. So I added a palm tree with animals to the stage. Everyone liked it.

My little daughter braided me an incredibly beautiful friendship bracelet with large beads. Such beauty it turned out!

This year’s book week is dedicated to the theme of travel. I was asked to decorate the stage and hall in this theme. There was a lot of work, especially with the flags, but it turned out beautifully.

I bought a DIY decorative paper butterfly kit under a glass dome at the store. I did pretty well.

I bought a cheap basic Enchantimals Penguin with a drawn little friend and a cute Polly Pocket mulatto Shani.

Masha continues to be passionate about pixel art—she made mouse and dog keychains for her grandparents.

My goddaughter Tanya loves unicorns very much. Here I crocheted a little unicorn for her as a gift.

After eight years of separation, I finally saw my godmother. I wanted to give her some handmade gift from me. And since she’s also an Aries, I crocheted for her such a cute little sheep.
