Danielle, host of Gently Smiling Jaws, shares her May 2026 stitching and reading updates. She begins with tea talk, discussing a charcoal-roasted raw puerh from White2Tea and a humorous 'Bruja Blast' tea from Friday Afternoon Tea, along with a charity-supporting 'Womb of Doom' blend. She then details her 'Marroomy & Manning May' plan, where she worked on eight projects from Marroomy Designs and Carolyn Manning Designs, achieving two finishes: Perky Lion and a BBL Drizzy piece. She shows progress on several other WIPs, including the Biwa Sampler, From Yalda to Nowruz, Mellow the Phoenix, Birthday Cake, Chameleon, and the Arcana Sampler, noting a total of 10,203 stitches for the month. Danielle also discusses her June plans, which include working on Birds to the Bows and a 'Jacob June' featuring Modern Folk Embroidery pieces. She then talks about getting back into reading with audiobooks, covering titles like 'Ambition' by Natalie Keller Reinert, 'Murderland' by Carolyn Fraser, and 'Bad Nature' by Ariel Courage. The video ends with a lengthy tangent about the frustrations of receiving emails meant for other people with her name, including a recent issue with Boost Mobile.
