Despite the quarantine, I was asked to help decorate Masha’s school. I decorated the podium and all three school entrances with spring paper cutouts and three-dimensional paper flowers.

Tomorrow is the birthday of Masha’s teacher. She is turning 22! Since she loves pandas very much, Masha and I prepared a gift for her with a panda theme. Masha drew a picture of a panda. And I crocheted a little panda keychain.

Inspired by the cartoon “Smeshariki,” I crocheted my second Smesharik, Hedgehog, using a pattern from the internet.

Together with Rostik, we finally finished assembling the puzzle that had been lying under the bed for over a year. When it was folded, we decided to keep it in a frame and hang it as a New Year’s decoration in winter.

I’m slowly making kusudamas to decorate the school for spring this year.

During the quarantine, Mashunya made several diamond mosaic sticker pictures, as well as a large butterfly painting on a black background, out of boredom.

Today is our neighbor Ton’s birthday. I made him a postcard with an origami dove based on an online master class. I liked it, and Rostik said the card looks more like a dog.

Finished decorating another one of my long-term projects – a rowan tree made of beads. I assembled the tree a long time ago, even cast it in plaster, but I only got around to painting and decorating the park clearing today. Under the tree, I placed a bench for two. A cat is sleeping on the bench, and a little dog, resembling a fluffy dachshund, is running down the brick path.

At the request of Masha, a big fan of The Mandalorian series, I crocheted a Grogu doll. The description was found online. Crocheted with thick yarn, using a crochet hook size 8. It was a bit challenging, but I’m happy with the result, and so is the client.

Today I crocheted a short cocktail dress for the gray-eyed Marley. Now at least it won’t be standing bare on the shelf. Crocheted it using three shades of Alize yarn; I designed the model myself.
