I just need to let everyone know this week/ month I may be a bit hot and miss at the cottage! Trips to the city - hours away for oncology appointments and eastern states visitors in between. I am stretched but will do my best to be here! Life happens 🥴 On another note I also want encourage anyone who wants to build their own community to check out ‘Panda’ I’ve joined simply to help me manage The Little Cottage! Just jump over and have a look 👀 you’ll know after watching if it’s for you. https://www.skool.com/303-6342/about?ref=9d51d0173158417fa21c5f2b2e8d2c72

@Lydia Cox has made a great little video using the InShot app on her phone! I use this one for all my videos too- this was her first attempt using the app - Lydia, you've done amazingly!

Grab a cuppa and let's chat! (except I'm doing all the chatting 😂) ✴️ I want to share with you what's happening in the cottage so you can get a clearer understanding of what I'm all about and how The Creative Cottage works. ✴️ Please comment if you can, so I know you've watched. 😵‍💫 Heads up, NO EDITING HERE - so it's a bit of a sketchy start, but then, we get into the vibe of the vid. ⚠️ Warning - I talk fast, so if you turn up the playback speed, I may sound like a chipmunk but that could be quite entertaining🤣

I want to formally welcome two new members to our little cottage - actually, warmly sounds much nicer, don't you think? @Deanna Krueger welcome, lovely lady - I really enjoyed chatting with you yesterday! I met Deanna over in @Debra Verrall 's sewing space - if you're a sewer, get on over and check it out, it's a cosy space too! An I just got the most wonderful suprise to see a friend from New Zealand pop in here too - Lets make lovely @Janne Cullen welcome - she is such a great lady who has been a wonderful inspo to me over the years. Please tell us a bit about yourselves so we can get to know you a bit better! - Where you reside - What you love to create - What you do for fun - Fave food - Favourite colour That's a good get-to-know-you start!

Sometimes our creative flair is fanned into flame by taking ourselves away from our normal environs and out on a creative date! Julia Cameron, who wrote "The Artist's Way," said, "An artist date is a block of time, especially set aside and committed to nurturing your creative consciousness, your inner artist. I must say I felt so inspired after my little outing last week! @Debra Verrall I'll be needing to make an outfit to wear to the next event! I may need your help! If you haven't seen it already, then here it is - the lovely picnic I attended over Easter.
