In this video you'll see a flashback of some of the ventures I started - some have stuck and some fell by the wayside! Anything is possible - this will show you how easy it can be and it's not a failure if it doesn't work out ... I call it MARKET RESEARCH 🙌 Here's the current situation 🌟 Shopify - didn't stick - it's waiting should I want to revisit. 🌟 YT Cottage Dreams Little Biz - I still have the channel but an unexpected move to the cottage changed my plan! 🌟 Etsy - I still have the store but the current season limits my making - I'm working on this! 🌟 YT StephKaraCreates is "The Little Cottage" this is my currently most creative space 🌟 Skool - I had no idea this time last year that I would be building a creative community here! So who know what the future holds for you.... What have space have you been dreaming about lately?

Warning - long rant - but I could do with some help here at my busy cottage! 😉You're probably going to thInk I'm about to add a great recipe or secret to being prepared because I have the perfect little cottage life - Ahhh NOPE - I actually failed today - I got caught out big time today and probably served up the most terrible food I have in a long time! 🥘 Admittedly, I've cooked lots of great meals for the extended family a few nights this week. Some for my son and the little boys while his girl is studying in the city, and then some for my daughter and three little ones, because she broke her wrist roller-skating. I've also fed my other daughter at odd times as she pops in unexpectedly from her work at the daycare around the corner - breakfast lunch or dinner 😂 HOWEVER, today when one of my other girls, hubby and bubba came by to sit by our outdoor fire, I had nothing that I could serve them other than some fast ready made oven baked food - needless to say it was a epic fail that the chickens will enjoy for brekky... 💡The moral of the story is BE PREPARED Why did I not listen to that little voice calling me to be prepared? This morning I grabbed the brisket from the fridge and thought to myself "I should put it on in the slow cooker - just incase someone comes," but then I thought "we're going out for lunch so maybe we won't need a big dinner...." Well I was wrong and when the kids turned up unexpectedly I had nothing ready or easy to whip up! LESSON FOR THE DAY Always be prepared for the unexpected - a homemade soup in the fridge, some pasta sauce ready to go, Whats you go to when you get unexpected guests for dinner?

Hi all! I am a therapist & transformational coach by profession…I started diving into my creativity as a relief valve for my busy mind. I have been painting mostly (watercolors). The last couple of months I seem to be in a bit of a creative slump…I was wondering -if that ever happens to you guys -if it does, how do you recharge yourselves? Thank you in advance, I love this community 🙏💕🌸

As I am picking rosella to make jam I was wondering who else is also making their own jam and which fruit are they using.
