julieclair My crafting has hit a road block lately. Maybe this month‘s theme will prompt me to get back to filling up the blank SPACE on my cross-stitch projects with stitches! 6d
Allylu @julieclair I‘ve been neglecting my cross stitch as well! @Clare-Dragonfly My granddaughter who will be 3 on June 13 is obsessed with the planets, so I look forward to what you come up with - tag me? 5d

5/5 ⭐️ I think this is my favorite Chloe Gong book so far! Sad I missed the end of the "real time" discussions with the #chloegongreadalong but I'll be there for the next one!

TheBookHippie Yay!!! How you feeling ? All healed up? I can‘t wait to read the next one! 2w
Catsandbooks @TheBookHippie I'm doing a lot better. I'm home now. I started PT so working on getting my ankle back to normal strength. The pets are doing better too. Feeling less stressed. Thanks for asking! 😊 Any idea when we'll read Foul Heart Huntsman? 2w

I enjoyed the dual storylines, especially the fantastical elements.

I'm super behind on reviews, so expect a bunch of posts

Gissy Me too! 🙋🏽‍♀️I‘m very behind of all these buddy reads/or challenges but I‘m enjoying to read them. I didn‘t like much this one, I need to post my review, but at the same time I needed to finish it. I wanted to know what was going to happen with this family. Don‘t like it much, couldn‘t put it down😳🤷🏽‍♀️☺️ 2w

Life update:
Thank you for all the well wishes for Link! He is home & doing well! Unfortunately a few days ago I sat on an old wooden chair & it broke & a rod punctured my leg. I am sore but managing. We are currently visiting family in WI so not being home makes things more stressful. Also a day before we left I had to go to the ER b/c of bad pain from passing a kidney stone.
⬇️

Catsandbooks I haven't had the energy to check on Litsy or really do much of anything else. Eventually I'll be back but if I don't respond to things that is why. 2023 is really not my year and it's only March 😫 2mo

1. The tagged was boring and way too long. Normal people was terrible characters and writing. Hated the writing style too.

2. Anything by Grady Hendrix or Riley Sager. Really any book that is mainly thriller or horror I'm just not a fan of. I read southern book club's guide to slaying vampires and ugh, I was just mad and disgusted the whole time.

peanutnine Can I ask what your coffee cup says? I'm so curious 😅 4mo
ChelseaM6010 You‘re welcome! 🙂 4mo
Catsandbooks @peanutnine if you're referring to the marker it says "I've got my chai on you" which is the name of a special drink for Valentine's Day that has Chai and raspberry. If you're referring to the sticker on the coffee collar it's my local coffee shop that I love- Caffe Paradiso. I can take a better picture of it next time I'm there. Which will be next week cause I'm there at least once a week ? 4mo
peanutnine @Catsandbooks I was referring to the marker. I love a punny name!! 😂 Sounds like a great local place ☺️ 4mo
Catsandbooks @peanutnine me too! They do fun stuff for every holiday and season! 4mo

January was not a good month for me so I didn't get to do much for #LitsyCrafters
I created a page in my journal to write and doodle some ideas. The only thing I made was this Barbie cassette sticker. My sister and I used to jam to this cassette when we were little 😂 I found the image and turned it into a sticker. 💖
Hopefully February will be better for my crafting!

KateReadsYA Oh Lisa frank was my jam! When it was time to shop for school supplies my backpack was stocked with her supplies. 4mo
ShelleyBooksie Hope you have a wonderful Feb. That Barbie cassette sticker is awesome!!! 4mo
CBee I was OBSESSED with Barbie 😂 4mo

I made katogo for #FoodandLit Uganda 🇺🇬 It's a potato and bean stew. Purple and regular sweet potatoes. Perfect for a chilly day but I prefer other stews to this one

I saw so many people do this last year and I was sad I didn't participate, so I'm not missing out this year!! I had 3 five ⭐️ reads this month but I'm a sucker for fantasy so this was my favorite!

Thanks for making the bracket @chasjjlee
