I’ll be popping in less over the next six weeks as I prepare for my lower back surgery in early May and then take the time needed to recover well afterward. I’m also working hard to get several new recordings uploaded to my new YouTube audio reading channel before surgery, so my days are a little fuller than usual right now. Don’t worry—I’m not disappearing, just stepping back a little for a season. Please keep the community active, warm, and encouraging while I’m quieter here. Support each other, share your projects, celebrate progress, and keep the good spirit going during the days I’m absent. Don't forget to check out what's available in the Classroom. There is no shortage of projects to get involved in, so stay creative.

While we are not primarily a shopping community, we may have members who wish to build a small business by selling their handmade items or destash their crafting supplies. In today's economy, we want to support our fellow makers when we can. It is understood that there is NO obligation to buy. This is just another feature that can make this community a resource and benefit to many. Full details are posted in the classroom. PLEASE read that before posting items to sell.

A Little Thank You From the Cozy Makers Club Every community has a heartbeat, and ours is the wonderful people who show up here — sharing ideas, encouraging others, asking thoughtful questions, or simply and quietly being part of the cozy creative community that makes this place special. From time to time, I’ll randomly select a few members and gift them 30 hours of Premium access as a small thank-you for being part of this community. Your Cozy Premium Pass will be active from 8:00 AM to 12 PM the following day (US Central Time). No sign up--no requirements.Just a little surprise appreciation. To make it easier for those selected to enjoy it, I’ll post the names ahead of time along with the date and start/finish time of their 30-hour access, so they can plan and carve out a little time to explore. If you’re chosen, you’ll have a chance to wander through the Classroom's Premium areas, explore the extra resources, and enjoy the cozy corners that live there. Think of it as a community appreciation pass. Thank you for helping make this such a thoughtful, creative place to gather. It truly wouldn’t be the same without each of you. Lynda and The Cozy Makers Club

UPDATED March 1st I recently started a second community called The Culinary Timekeeper. Its focus is "Refashioning Vintage Recipes." Upcycling history on a plate. Timeless meals made with intention. https://www.skool.com/the-culinary-timekeeper-9542/about This is a free community to join with standard features. However, anyone who wants to unlock the Exclusive Classroom features must upgrade to a Premium membership.
