UPDATE: If you have a video 45 minutes or longer that you would like to include in this listing in our Classroom for the purpose of sharing some quiet, companionable activity time with others, please send me the video to [email protected], and I'll check it out. What a wonderful way to support each other! What is a Quiet Saturday Companion Video? These videos aren’t meant to teach, instruct, or walk someone through a project. They’re not DIYs or tutorials. Instead, they’re meant to feel like quiet companionship. Think of it as: - someone else in the room while you work - the comfort of shared presence, not shared instruction - everyday life unfolding gently in the background What we’re looking for are personal, non-teaching videos that might include: - stitching, organizing, ironing, or tidying - cooking, journaling, or working at a table - slow, ordinary activities - minimal talking (or none at all) - no explaining, directing, or “how-to” guidance The goal is for members who usually craft alone to press play and feel less alone—without needing to watch closely, learn something new, or keep up with instructions. Tutorial-style or teaching videos are wonderful and valuable, but they fit better in other spaces. Quiet Company Crafting is intentionally calm, observational, and companionable. Thank you so much to everyone who shares their time and presence here—this series will work because of the care and intention you put behind it. ____________________________________________________________ This Saturday, I’m starting something new—and very simple. I’ll be sharing hour-long videos where I’m just being in my creative space. Stitching. Sorting scraps. Pressing fabric, cooking, folding clothes, tidying up, and moving slowly. No teaching and not much talking. No expectations. These videos are meant to be company. Something you can turn on while you work on your own project—so you’re not crafting alone, even if you’re physically by yourself.

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.

I've begun getting the last few lone blocks sewn into their groups so I can get this top together. It's still a long way from completion but I just keep on moving forward one stitch at a time and then one day I have a top!

I started the assembly on a new English Paper Piecing project today. It will be a topper on the side table to use as a large mugrug placemat sized. I'll come back and post more as I get farther along.
