OUR GOAL IS TO BE IN THE TOP 100 COMMUNITIES DAILY RANKING UPDATE: January 1st Ranking is 140. January is our Power Month, and I’m inviting everyone to help us give 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.

UPDATE: MY PROCESS VIDEOS and graphics added The theme will change monthly, but the spirit stays the same: gentle creativity, low pressure, and meaningful making. JANUARY'S THEME: Slow Beginnings. This month is about easing in—not starting over, not fixing anything, not racing toward goals. Just returning to your hands, your materials, and yourself at a pace that feels kind. There is no right way to participate. There is no expectation to finish anything. Showing up gently counts. As you move through January, let this question sit with you: What feels possible right now? You’ll find a few optional project ideas, colors, and invitations below. Take what fits. Leave the rest. JANUARY'S PROJECTS: Slow, Simple, Soft These are suggestions, not assignments. They’re meant to help you begin without pressure. Project Ideas - A scrap warm-up quilt block (no measuring, no rules) - A single junk journal page titled “What I’m Carrying In” - A small slow-stitched fabric square with one word or symbol - Sorting scraps and choosing just one to work with Optional Color Inspiration - Oatmeal - Soft gray - Winter white - Faded denim (Colors are here to inspire—not restrict. Use what you have.) JANUARY'S SELF-CARE SALAD: A simple, grounding reset you can make in minutes: - Spinach - Apple slices - Walnuts - Dried cranberries - Olive oil + fresh lemon + pinch of salt Think of this as nourishment, not a rule—just like our making WAYS TO PARTICIPATE THIS MONTH These small actions help keep the community warm and help you earn points—no pressure to do them all. Choose one or two: - 📸 Share a photo of your current creative space (mess welcome) - ✍️ Post a sentence or two about how you’re beginning this year creatively - 💬 Leave encouragement on at least 2 member posts - 🧵 Share one small thing you’re working on—or thinking about working on 🌿 Gentle Reminder Each month will bring a new theme, new inspiration, and new ways to engage—but always with the same cozy rhythm.
