Pigs are the symbol of the upcoming year.

I’ve long been hoarding descriptions of cute blue-eyed pigs I found online. And finally, I crocheted two little pigs out of fluffy yarn. They can even make a soft tinkling sound, because I put little bells inside.


Snowflakes from thermomosaic

I made several snowflakes for the Christmas tree out of thermomosaic, and some of them even glow in the dark.


New Year’s handmade

I made decorations for Masha’s class – Christmas ornaments and snowflakes from toilet paper rolls. I also have photos of the Christmas tree lamp and the tabletop arrangement.


Shopping at the Christmas market.

Let’s go to the Christmas fair today. Unexpectedly found a packaged vintage Skipper Hollywood doll with long hair and hair-dye spray. And also a sealed Lisa consultant doll from Avon Cosmetics. We also bought a cute tea set and a luxurious bathtub (for a bottle of champagne).


Advent calendar

I prepared a countdown calendar for the girls leading up to Christmas. I used blanks from Top Models magazine as a basis.


Christmas and New Year’s cards

I’ve been captivated by the topic of greeting cards. In anticipation of the holidays, I tried making different versions of Dutch New Year’s and Christmas cards.


Candlesticks for a themed dinner

Soon, Anna will have a celebratory dinner at school that her class is preparing for all the school teachers. The children must prepare and arrange everything themselves. The main topic of the dinner will be the Dance4life project, aimed at combating sexual violence in Indonesia. And here I made them a couple of candle holders to decorate the tables with paper cutouts of this organization’s logo.


Beaded earrings again.

Continuing charitable beading. Today I finished making snowflake earrings and various little stars. And Anya finished making more friendship bracelets to sell.


Stage decoration

Participated in decorating the stage at the Mariyas School for the Sinterklaas celebration. I and another mom were painting the backdrop. It turned out beautifully! We received a lot of praise, and that’s nice!


New Year’s origami
