the importance of home life - cottage crafting vlog

[@TheCottageFairy]

Technical issues this time around my friends: my microphone decided to stop working- living out here makes it hard to get a new one quickly, so this week I’m going back to using my iPhone speaker to record my audio. Thanks for you understanding! ❤️❤️ In this video you’ll see a very simple weaving project - I am just a beginner and wanted to start with something that would not be very challenging. I highly recommend it as a relaxing craft!

When I was a little girl, I used to escape from the stressors around me by hiding in libraries. That pattern has persisted throughout my life until now, at age 72, I am a writer whose house is filled with bookcases and at least a thousand books. Yes, since my home is in itself a library, I always feel safe.

[@artwithmamafairybreadd]

Wish everyone could have a safe space like yours...I’m happy you have this.....your are blessed to always feel safe. Xo

[@pbshepherding47]

Now that I am 74 I look back on my library days in Alaska, the creaky floor and the feeling of peace when I would go to it like a child to a mother. There was something there I needed.

What makes a good home to me is something that defies the pattern of the world. If it is cold, home should be warm. If it is busy, home should be paced. If it is dark, home should provide light. I appreciate the countercultural element your home provides for yourself and so many of us viewers!

I love watching you make all sorts of crafts, teas, skin care products, recipes and such, especially from the things that you've grown or foraged yourself. You've inspired me in so many ways and have reawakened my creativity and artistic side which had been placed on a back burner for far too long. I'm a passionate gardener and I will be growing many new plants this year that I will use to make tea blends, pressed flowers and all sorts of projects similar to your own. I had forgotten how naturally relaxing it is to create, especially when you're creating something that you enjoy. Before you even realize it, you've been reduced to that slow way of living that is widely talked about but rarely practiced in our daily lives. When you're creating, that slow living pace just happens naturally, improving your mindset and allowing to focus and live in the moment. What a wonderful feeling! I would love to see more of your garden this coming season and how you like to prepare the food that you harvest. I thank you for your wisdom and for sharing much about your life. I deeply enjoy these videos and look forward to them every week. I hope you are well and wish you all the best.

[@catfish9539]

There is absolutely no reason when you can’t live in a fantasy world. So many people make life too complicated. Too many of us focus on money for stuff and a bigger this and that. You show a very simple life is way more desirable. You keep living a simple life, you keep journaling your journey. Your videos bring so many of us such calmness and joy. You have such an amazing attitude to life. You so remind me of Beatrix Potter and how she would have spent her days. Although her house has a lot of stuff!!

I think your life is beautiful. I'm 57 and while some may say I have an "enviable" life (I'm a college professor) I am envious of yours, though, not in a bad way. I never heard of a life like yours until the last few years. I was raised in the hustle and bustle of schools, work, and the drive to succeed (whatever that means). But now, all I really want is to buy a little home in Pueblo, CO, and live a quiet life with my dog surrounded by the beauty of nature, books, and music. ::sigh:: Thank you for sharing your peace with us.

[@deborahcoyle7612]

I can absolutely relate! I’ve always been a daydreamer and used to think it was a sign of laziness but, as I grow older and with the support of my loving partner, I now know that this is something to celebrate. For example, watching the bees in my garden gives me that feeling of pure joy and that’s something I’ve passed on to my daughter. We (half) jokingly say that we must have been bees in a former life.

[@lianapalumbo8457]

I've always made things for my home. Even as a small child I'd cut out pictures of flowers and butterflies to stick on my furniture. Being a single mother of 4 really pushed me to be VERY creative so that my children didn't feel like they missed out. My youngest will be 18 this April and I have to say, they've taken after me in creating their own personal styles. Even moving to a semi rural town has helped in bringing some calm into our lives. Thank you for your beautiful videos, I always feel so at peace watching them. Much love and hugs from Tungkillo South Australia xx

Though mine is far more “conventional” ( i live in a ground floor condo) I, too, love making my space mine. I tweak the decor, find a new picture, or add something to a bookshelf that I’ve rediscovered in my closet. I collected mice figurines years ago and i have them peeking out from different places. They bring me great joy. I make cards (my main hobby) to send to family and friends as well as a card club I am part of, and this brings me great joy as well. Solitude has always been my friend and creative outlet is as necessary to me as reading my Bible or drinking water. I love your cottage, it is so very quaint and charming, and your paintings make it all the more charming, though I’d definitely build a bathroom if it were mine 😊

I'm retired now after last working as a gardener. Now I have the relaxed time to do final edits and organize decades of my writings and images. It's a simple, one-room cabin with an oversized, elevated deck where I can sit quietly and watch the forest live & breathe at any time of the day. That ability - to just stare into the forest, out onto the mountains and up into the sky whether from indoors through large windows, or from the deck or from the rocks and boulders - helps create the relaxed personality of the house. Thank you for your channel and content... it is a calming influence in turbulent days.

I think that you are a wise woman to make your home a place of sanctuary! That is how I feel about the home my husband and I designed and help build. We are blessed to live on 6.5 acres in a rural setting. It was always my goal to create a home where people walk in and know they are safe, loved, and cared for. A place they immediately feel like taking off their shoes and curling up on the couch...and that is exactly what has happened. This is truly our sanctuary from a world that is spinning out of control. Bless you on your life journey!

Right now, I'm having a hard time regaining that sense of home within the our small Japanese apartment. We've been living in Tokyo for a year and a half, and there's SO much that I see daily that helps fill me up creatively. The tricky part is bringing that home. We don't have the freedom to furnish or decorate exactly as we'd like. For instance, we have a wonderfully curated art collection that we had to leave back in the US. And here, our walls are bare. For now, we rely on Tokyo's stunning sunsets, incredible nooks and alleys full of character, and hidden shrines and temples waiting to be discovered around every corner. While we can't exactly bring these things into our home, they make up the environment in which our home dwells. And that definitely helps.

I have a very cozy and content life and one of the things that I did was eliminate the television. I have a large computer monitor that we watch movies etc on, but the constant bombardment from commercials and ads and vulgar shows is gone. Now when we visit someone with a tv we are shocked at how bad it is after ten years. I have a son that is almost twelve and I have never met a more content and happy child. We also live rurally so he has land to play on and a creek to mess in. He has never once told me he's bored and very rarely even asks for things. It makes a world of difference in your life molding it to what you want. I love a romantic, vintage, cottage core style home. We have a low light home with candles at night and a bright, sunny, uncovered windows in the daytime.

[@janinafisher101]

I have not had a television since it went digital in Canada eons ago. I don't miss it. I borrow videos from the library but they sit there unwatched. I go for long walks in the woods, paint and study languages online for entertainment. We need to ask what do we want to bring into our homes, and what do we want the atmosphere of our home to be like? Then ask whether television brings that. Maybe it brings the opposite.

I lined with sturdy fabric so the items wouldn't disturb the weaving. I get so many compliments on it. People can only buy so many mats and wall hangings, but I can always use another bag. 💜🌞🌵😷

When I see your videos, I know again how life is meant to be❤️. It touches me deeply in my heart. Thank you so much. Greetings from Germany

[@lakemichigan6598]

Wow, I love how your mind works. So very much in touch with your essence, seeing & appreciating that connection as a wonderful gift - which it is. My Place would be my garden, digging, planting, improving, harvesting, & sometimes just quietly & contentedly reveling in what I see & feel there. I don't know exactly where you live Paola but I'm thinking it must be somewhere over the rainbow.

I love your creative side and the artistic bent of mind. You don't need to seek too far for your inner peace, it is right within you. In a chaotic, materialistic world, most of us do not know where to seek our comfort and solace. Like you, I look within myself through writing, reading, doing up my home, cleaning it and at times connect with my few close friends. But I admire your thoughts at such a young age. I came to my realisations only now, in my 40's and thank God for that!

I would love to figure out how to have a life like this. I seem to never have time for my art and things I used to love to do before getting married and having kids. Maybe I’ll be able to get there again someday. You give me inspiration. Now I just need time.

Dear Ptcoachdenise, I'm trying to find time for my art too. I enroll myself in online courses, saturdays when my husband is at home. It help me a lot. Now I am trying to paint each day, usually at night. Is such a blessing, I fell more happy and content. Praying for you that the Lord will give you the strategy and time to paint and enjoy your art.

You are truly a fairy in your own fairytale 😍 beautiful, peaceful and loving 💗

I just learned how weaving by hand works. So cool! Enjoy your whimsical and peaceful personal space; I'm envious. I have a child so there is little personal space to speak of. I miss the days when I was single and care-free.

[@pattyjacoby7142]

Even a chair , bookshelf and small lamp could be your personal space. Easier said than done but something to try for.

[@permblue]

@@pattyjacoby7142 Thanks for the suggestion--but I sometimes would need to go out of the house for a couple hours to feel alone. I'm naturally a loner. It was not until recently that I can go to the restroom without being disturbed.

@@permblue oh I do understand, I had twins and then another a year later. I love nature and getting outside , very healing. Best wishes to you .

Today was an extremely rough day for me. Watching this video not only calmed me but inspired me. Thankyou!

5-degrees in the Okanogan Highlands this morning. Wendy and I are getting ready to go bust up ice and feed the goats, llamas, sheep and horse. Love your cottage! You have a great channel. Be Careful! Best Wishes.

Beautiful! One thing about your videos that are so wonderful is that they are quiet and serene. The world we live in has become so loud in many ways. Not just in sound but in insight as well. The world needs quieter times to think and ponder about the choices one makes in life. So, your videos are a beautiful escape for me. Thank You.

I love to decorate my home with whimsy as well. You will find many animals around from flying pigs to a prince charming frog 💚 I also love landscape art. I have no talent but I enjoy watching others use theirs. Your weaved piece is beautiful 💖

[@TheCottageFairy]

Oh!! I love flying pigs! My mother has a flying pig statue I adore - too cute ❤️ sounds like a magical home

[@thecatesclan]

Your videos are never long enough; I always want the peaceful feeling they bring to last just a little bit longer! Thank you for the beautiful and insightful content! Lovely, as usual.

[@AbsolutelyAdorableStudio]

I look forward to your videos every Wednesday ❤️😍

Beautiful - our “things” are little items from our travels, but usually something handmade and somewhat unique. Loved your bottles - stunning!
