Welcome in, friend. I’m so glad you’ve found your way to the Cottage Grandma Skills School. Here on the kitchen table, beside a warm mug and a few stray threads, you’ll find a tiny handwritten map to help you settle in gently. Teazel the beagle is probably asleep by the stove, she takes her welcoming duties very seriously. 🌸 1. A few cosy first steps - Read your Welcome Letter - Watch the Stitch Lesson — Teazel often wanders through the background - Choose your first small project or creature - Introduce yourself if you’d like — no pressure at all. 🌿 2. Where things live in our cottage - The Sewing Basket → stitches, mending, simple sewing - The Cottage Kitchen → warm, everyday kitchen wisdom - The Snug → soft homemaking and gentle domestic rhythms - The Kitchen Table Crafts → paper, nature, and tiny makes for (or with) little ones - Community → sharing, questions, cosy chats - Announcements → new arrivals and seasonal happenings 🌼 3. How to enjoy this place - Take things slowly - Ask questions anytime - Share your makes — wobbly, wonky, wonderful - Let the rhythm be gentle; this is a calm corner of the internet - And if you ever see a beagle tail in a lesson… that’s just Teazel helping. 🌙 4. What’s coming next More stitching projects, more homemaking lessons, more tiny rituals, all arriving in their own time, like good mail delivered to your door. Welcome to our home. The kettle’s warm, Teazel’s snoring softly, and there’s a chair waiting for you by the window.

Reset Sunday: I tried to tidy, but Teazel decided every pile I made was a new bed. So… we’re done now

Oh Im learning so much as I pass my knowledge to this beautiful group. Today I will attempt to record this fox bag charm ( she's so cute) wish me luck as I have only taught my granddaughter on video as she live in the U.K. and I'm in Canada. Hope you are having a wonderful weekend. x -your cottage grandma How many cups of tea will this take?
