Hunker Down in Style With These Artsy Ways To Get Cozy at Home

Cozy Activities for Home

As temperatures drop and days get shorter, many of us hunker down at home. This seasonal shift also makes for a great time to enjoy cozy activities, whether it’s arts, crafts, cooking, puzzling, or playing games. My Modern Met Store has it all, with a stylish, creative twist on otherwise ordinary items like playing cards or colored pencils. You’ll just need to decide what you want to do first!

Set an end-of-year goal to learn a new craft by working on an embroidery kit from Kiriki Press. Start simple with a Bat Embroidery Kit, which invites you to stitch a bat plushie. It’s ideal for embroidery newbies because it uses basic stitches sparingly. Once you’re feeling more confident, try one of the more advanced doll kits, like a sheep wearing a sweater.

Maybe crafts aren’t your thing, but cooking is. Late fall into winter is soup season, making it time to bring the Nessie Ladle into your kitchen. This adorable tool puts the “fun” in functional, modeled after the legendary Loch Ness monster that’s said to live in the Scottish Highlands. The ladle has a 10-inch-long handle, so you can use it in deep pots, and four little feet keep it upright. Once you’ve taken the pot off the stove, let it rest on the silicone Grizzly Hot Pot Trivet.
