Here’s how I decorated the table for Easter this year. It turned out to be very atmospheric thanks to the glowing garlands.

Together with Anya (Rostik’s wife), who is staying with us with the children, we crocheted two chicks for Easter.

Before the Netherlands’ main holiday—King’s Day—I decorated the school in this theme.

Today, Anna had an art exhibition at school. Anna did cross-stitch embroidery on a plastic bag on the theme of pollution and destruction of the Carpathian Mountains. А вторая работа на тему разжигания насилия через сми.

All the colleagues at the school prepared funny little gifts for Margrit’s anniversary. And I was tasked with arranging them all into one large, multi-tiered cake made of toilet paper. It turned out cool, and the birthday woman liked it.

Today, for my birthday, I received a cool articulated Barbie from the BMR 1959 series in a bright outfit and with unusually voluminous curly hair.

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.
