To night i started a little slow stitching block that I may frame. Its all about pink. Our next circle is in 2 weeks time your are most welcome to come and craft and share a space of unity. What's your WIP? (Work in progress)

The start of some thing new, ( boy this was hard for me to do as I'm quite shy) June book is 84 Charing Cross Road, by Helene Hanff

Tonight we reached 15 members in our little Cottage Grandma School, and my heart is so full. I made this tiny printable as a thank‑you, you can fussy‑cut it or turn it into stickers. Just a small gift from my craft table to yours. Thank you for being here, for bringing your warmth, and for helping this cozy corner grow.

No where exciting my absence was due to getting my business taxes all done. That's out of the way for now!! so watch out I'm back. Hope everyone is well and if you have any news that you you would like to share I would love to hear all about it . It's make do or mend tomorrow evening so pop over and say hello I would love to meet you in person ( on screen)

First I want to apologize for my absence the past few days but I have been busy writing my subscription letters, that are now zooming their way around the world!! I have also got to the final stage of writing my first book, a gentle, story‑rich guide to rebuilding a financial life from the inside out, written for real people with real homes, real mess, real exhaustion, and real hope. It reads like sitting at a kitchen table with someone who has lived through tight months, stretched paydays, raised children on grit and tenderness, and found a way to create steadiness without shame, overwhelm, or perfection. It teaches a simple, human‑sized system built around jars, rhythms, and seasons — not spreadsheets or pressure. Every chapter blends lived experience, emotional steadiness, and practical steps you can actually do on an ordinary Tuesday. It’s not a 'finance book'. It’s a companion for anyone who wants their money to finally feel calm, breathable, and doable. so If anyone has self published a book please reach out as I would love to hear your experience.
