Hi, it's Helen and Caroline.

This month we're giving this full-length bonus episode away to all of our listeners.

Every month on Patreon, we release one of these fun, chatty episodes for our patrons

at the more love-to-so-please level.

These patrons also get behind-the-scenes photos like previews of upcoming releases from

our businesses, memories from our personal trips and picks of our personal makes.

That sounds good to you.

Visit us at patreon.com slash love-to-so for more details.

Our patrons are the reason that we could leave behind advertising to focus on making more

quality sewing contents. So thank you so much patrons.

and I've talked about this previously on Patreon, but one of my goals for 2022 is to go on a hike

every month. So this was my February hike, and we went with Shay and Pepper, obviously,

and Shay's brother Ben joined us, and it was like we kind of went into it knowing it was going

to be a harder hike. Like, I mean, hard for us, because we don't hike very often. I think it

was like seven K, but like, you know, you're going up a hill, you're crossing a creek.

There's a lot going on, and it was early February, and as we were going further and further

up the hike, it was getting snowier and snowier, and we were not prepared for snowy weather,
