My goal is to have several options for everyone! Don't become overwhelmed as the classroom grows. Imagine it's a buffet, you take what you like and leave the rest...

This was a shoulder bag I made some time ago using an Autumn color theme and upcycled curtains.

If this isn't allowed let me know and I'll delete it. Another way I used some of my tiny scraps. Crunched up brown packing paper from Amazon shipping into a rough bird shape. Wrapped shape in masking tape to hold it together, glued on small fabric scraps. Cut out cardboard feather shapes, glued on fabric scrapes, glued them to bird body when dry. Made wire feet poked them into bird body after dipping them in glue. Ta Da a scrappy bird.

OUR GOAL IS TO BE IN THE TOP 100 COMMUNITIES DAILY RANKING UPDATE: - January 1st Ranking was 140 - January 2nd Ranking was 142 - January 3rd Ranking was 138 - January 4th Ranking was 138 - January 5th Ranking was 137 - January 6th Ranking was 147 - January 7th Ranking was 147 - January 8th Ranking was 147 January is our Power Month, and I invite everyone to join us in giving the Cozy Makers Club a little extra love and energy this month. Here’s the exciting part: We started around #900 in the Skool rankings. We’re now hovering around #150. With a real January PUSH, we can break into the Top 100 Skool communities in our category - Hobbies. That’s huge—and it’s something we can do together. 💥 How You Can Help (Small actions = BIG impact) Every bit of activity counts toward boosting our visibility and rankings. - 👍 Like posts AND comments (yes, liking comments counts!) - 💬 Leave a short comment—even a “love this” helps - 🧵 Share what you’re making, planning, or thinking about - 👀 Pop in often, even for a quick scroll - 📣 Invite friends and win bonuses in January's Invite & Giveaway (Details in Pinned Post) - 🎁 Participate in prompts, bingo, and cozy challenges Why This Matters? More activity means: - Higher Skool ranking - More visibility for our cozy corner - New makers finding their way here - More inspiration, connection, and momentum for all of us This isn’t about pressure—it’s about cozy consistency and community care. If we all show up just a little more in January, we can do something really special together. Let’s make January our warmest, most active month yet. Let’s break into the Top 100. Let’s power up the Cozy Makers Club. Thanks for being here—and for making this space what it is 💛

My daughter, Desiree, designed a 13-page Cozy Makers Club graphics pack, and she's gifting it to anyone who can use and enjoy it. No strings, no sign-ups beyond being part of this little corner of the world. This collection was created to celebrate our new community and to gently carry us into the new year wrapped in beauty, friendship, and endless creative possibilities. Each page was designed with cozy makers in mind—those who love texture, warmth, imagination, and the quiet joy of creating something by hand. If you'd like to thank Desiree, she'd love it if you'd heart something you find especially nice in her new Etsy shop. Purchasing isn't necessary, but a heart lets her know what she's doing right. https://www.etsy.com/shop/RelateandCreateCo You can copy and print from here, or download them from my https://ko-fi.com/lyndacokerdesigns page later this week.
