Hello my dear friends, I'm sorry things have been extremely quiet the past few weeks (almost 4 weeks) I have been under the weather with bronchial pneumonia. After quite a scare at the hospital and the correct medications I can happily say I am well on the road to full heath, even with me being impatient. Thank you for the well wishes, I really appreciate you all. If there's one take away I have from this experience it has to be, do the things you want to do in life even if you feel anxious about taking the leap. So things will start to get back to full swing in the next few weeks and thank you all so much for sticking around.

We have had so much rain today and I'm so grateful because the garden needed a good soak. So I made this printable of butterflies for you to print and use. I like to use mine for my journal that I've not touched in ages,

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.

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?
