Tanya and Grandpa Vitalik will have their birthdays soon. We are preparing a transfer to Ukraine. And Masha decided to draw pictures for our birthday celebrants. Two sunsets were created—one with paint, the other with pencils.

Today I finished decorating the school for Easter. Made a flower bed out of pillows on a podium with painted stones. I added paper cutouts and hung Easter eggs on the branches. And along the perimeter windows of the whole school, we have grass growing with colorful Easter eggs. I really like the result.

Anyuta decorated her white t-shirt with textile markers in the style of K-pop fans. It turned out really cool and stylish. She used logos of her favorite bands.

My beloved husband gave me a wonderful gift for March 8th. This is a long-desired Tonner doll, “Shinyuu Layne” LE 250, exclusively for “Cherished friends” from 2007. The doll is new, dressed in a lilac nightgown, a lilac camisole, white panties, and lilac sandals. Two hair decoration sticks, an original stand, and a certificate were included with it. The girl is simply stunning, her straight blonde hair is partially gathered in a bun at the back of her head, she has very delicate makeup and slightly squinted green eyes.

Anna’s project deadline is approaching. She designed a mask in the shape of a palm tree. Under my guidance, she made a papier-mâché base, painted it, and covered it with crepe-paper. With the Cricut, I cut out the top parts of the crown and the eye patch of the mask. Anya decorated them all with patterns, covered them with quilling, rhinestones, and sequins. And I helped to solidify all of this on a foundation. It turned out beautifully, and I hope the grade will be high.

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.
