I always look forward to your monthly letter! I love the image of February being a PMS month and to embrace hibernating.

Thank you, Valerie, that means a lot! I’m glad I’m not the only one who resonated with that comparison. 🤣 March has been a welcome change!

I feel like every time I read your monthly letter, I walk away with even more books to add to my TBR, excited to pick up reads by both Melanie Shankle and Ina Garten. Also I love that you're trying out embroidery.

Happy to pretend to be a book influencer over here 🤪. I’m honestly still thinking about both books and found some of Ina’s cookbooks at Half Priced Books that I’m excited to use. As for the embroidery, I need to get back to it, I’ve taken a week off and don’t want to lose momentum!

Look at you doing embroidery! I can't wait to see what you create!!! Also, I don't think I've ever read Melanie Shankle? Obviously need to fix that!

I'm still very much a beginner, I cannot for the life of me figure out the "lazy daisy" stitch, but I'm doing it! As for Melanie Shankle, I think you would love her! I would recommend reading one of her older books before this newest one to get a better feel for her. My favorites are "The Antelope in the Living Room" and "Sparkly Green Earrings"!
