Absolutely! The English idiom “Don’t judge a book by its cover” carries a significant message. It’s all too easy to make snap judgments about someone we meet for the first time, but these initial impressions can lead to misunderstandings and influence our social interactions. By looking beyond surface appearances, we open ourselves to richer connections and a deeper understanding of those around us.

Jot down
Jot down the first thing that comes to your mind.
Sea. The Baltic sea because I am resting in a beautiful Polish resort Sopot just now 🌊🐬🐳
My favourite type of weather is mild, between +25°C in summer and -10°C in winter. And not too much rain, only as much as nature needs.
Negative Feelings
Once a week I visit my psychotherapist. So there is always a place and time to talk about negative or positive feelings and cope with them. Cooperation with her was the best decision in my life.
What is the last thing you learned?
That you can’t control everything
New Shop
I’m excited to announce that my close friend, Serafima Abramova—the brilliant author of the patterns I’ve advertised on my website—has officially opened her own Etsy shop! I’ve encouraged her to do this for a long time, and it’s great to see her take this important step despite the challenges posed by the ongoing war in Ukraine.
Her shop, SerafimaStitch https://www.etsy.com/shop/SerafimaStitch?ref=seller-platform-mcnav will feature both new and previously available patterns that you can no longer find in my Stitchersland store. If you can’t locate something in my shop, be sure to take a moment to explore her incredible shop! Your support for this talented creator means the world, and every like and favorite you give truly helps make a positive impact.
Moreover, don’t miss out on the special discount now available for her latest collection. It’s a fantastic opportunity to snag some unique items at a great price. Your support not only showcases your appreciation for her work but also encourages her to continue creating. Thank you for being a part of this journey!
