Craft Your Cozy Life with DIY Projects, Knitting, and Homesteading ✂️🧶
Hey there! I’m Liz Chandler, and I’m so excited to share my cozy lifestyle with you! This space is all about homesteading, knitting, rustic crafts, and making your home a peaceful retreat. Whether you’re crafting cozy home decor, whipping up some comfort food, or exploring cabin crafts, you’ll find inspiration for turning your space into the coziest place ever.
Cozy Home Decor 🛋️✨
Your home should feel like a warm hug! Transform your space with handmade touches, from knitted throws and pillows to upcycled furniture and soft lighting. I’ll show you how to add personal touches to every room. Small changes like layering blankets, using earthy tones, or adding vintage finds can make your space feel like a true retreat.
Pro Tip: Try mixing different textures and colors in your decor. A soft wool throw on a leather chair or a handwoven rug in a neutral-toned room can add just the right amount of coziness!
Whether you’re in a tiny cabin or a sprawling farmhouse, creating a cozy home is about making the space uniquely yours.
Knitting & DIY Tutorials 🧶🔨
There’s something magical about creating with your hands, and knitting is one of the easiest ways to make your home cozier. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned pro, I have plenty of tutorials that will help you create everything from scarves to cozy blankets. And if you’re just starting out, don’t worry! I’ve got patterns perfect for beginners, too.
One of my favorite projects is knitting a Gratitude Blanket, which will be a cozy chunky throw for my couch. It was surprisingly easy, and the soft texture adds so much comfort to my living room. Plus, I love that every stitch I knit brings me closer to making something beautiful that will be part of my home.
A Personal Journey: What began as a quiet spot in the garden to knit soon transformed into something much more. As I sat knitting amidst the rustling leaves, each newly sprouted garden bed seemed to inspire a fresh pattern. Wildlife wandered by, adding a peaceful soundtrack to the creative process. Over time, this simple knitting corner became a cherished space where nature and creativity intertwined. What started as a tranquil place to knit has blossomed into a full homesteading project that connects me even more deeply with the land and my craft.

Homesteading Tips & Rustic Living 🌻🚜
Homesteading is all about living simply and sustainably—and it’s one of the most rewarding ways to create a cozy lifestyle. Whether you’re growing your own garden, raising chickens, or making your own candles, homesteading allows you to connect with the earth and enjoy the fruits of your labor.
When I first started gardening, I was overwhelmed by how much work it would take. But after a season of trial and error, I found that working with nature was one of the most fulfilling parts of my life. Now, my garden is one of my favorite places to escape to for some quiet time.
From Knitting Garden to Homestead: What began as my knitting garden, a peaceful place to knit, slowly grew into a full-on homesteading project. As I sat surrounded by newly sprouted plants, each one inspired new patterns and creative projects. The blend of nature and crafting has not only nurtured my passion for knitting but also turned my garden into a space of sustainability and growth. It’s incredible how a simple hobby can evolve into a lifestyle that connects you with the earth in unexpected ways.
Homesteading is about more than just growing food. It’s about creating a life that nurtures both your creativity and your soul.
Cabin Crafts🌲🛠️
Let’s talk about upcycling and sustainable living – two of my favorite things! 🌿 Whether you’re a seasoned DIYer or just starting, upcycled crafts like cedar sachets or repurposing baby food jars into decorative pieces are perfect ways to add character and charm to your home. Not only are these projects eco-friendly, but they also bring a little piece of nature into your space.
Pro Tip: Start small with simple DIY projects and work your way up to larger ones like repurposing furniture or making your own decor from natural materials. You’d be surprised what a little creativity can do with materials that would otherwise be thrown away.
I remember the first time I made a cedar sachet. The scent of the wood instantly reminded me of the outdoors, and it made my cabin feel even more peaceful. It’s simple projects like this that make me appreciate the small, cozy details that truly transform a space.

Recipes for Cozy Moments 🍲☕️
Is there anything better than a comforting meal when you’re curled up at home? One of my favorite things to do is spend time in the kitchen, making hearty soups, fresh-baked bread, or a warm cup of hot cocoa. These recipes are all about filling your home with delicious aromas and making your space feel extra cozy. Plus, food brings people together!
My go-to comfort meal is my chicken soup recipe. It’s simple, warming, and always makes me feel at home, no matter where I am. It’s the perfect meal to enjoy with family or friends… or just to curl up with when you need a little comfort.
Food can be just as much a part of your cozy lifestyle as knitting or crafting. After all, who doesn’t love the scent of homemade bread fresh out of the oven?
Want to bring more cozy moments to your kitchen? I share recipes that range from easy weeknight meals to indulgent treats. Every dish is designed to warm you up from the inside out!
