What Is Slow Living? | Springtime Woodland Cottage Life

A cosy spring time vlog - Join me in my pottery workshop and foraging, baking, gardening, learning to knit and giving our cottage home a spring refresh, with some reflections on trying to live seasonally and slowly. Nature’s external world can sometimes help you reflect on your own internal world. Spring brings with it a lightness and a hope that really fuels me creatively.

I just subscribed. Particularly, as a black American woman, I celebrate you! Often times were taught in this country that if we take a quiet moment, we have committed a deep criminal offense! I disagree. And clearly, so do you. New sub here

[@ChaNayNayAnime]

your comment really resonated with me

[@jlux4481]

amen!

[@Spideyswiss118]

Omg, can you do an audiobook of every book on the planet. 😂 Your voice is soo soothing 🥹 it’s so comforting!🤍

[@everythingkindred]

Ahh that’s so kind, thank you!

[@Evelynlogose256]

I know, her voice ❤

[@SC-gw2kf]

Their videos soothe me too.

[@ingerlouise]

i second this! 😆

[@jocelynllamas6600]

She could be a voice on the Headspace app that leads meditation!

[@kellyshaw236]

I was this many years old when I realize you can forage clay for pottery lol. How cool!

[@valerie.]

yeah I was like damn...i want to do that

[@PeaceforLisa]

What a beautiful and calming video. I’m seeking channels that remind me that life is meant to be enjoyable and peaceful. Thank you for sharing ❤

[@everausten]

The cinematography, editing, philosophy, narration and craft is divine ✨

[@BarbaraKibira]

I joined the knitting community at age 14 years with my cousin to curb boredom, I found the "purl" pattern the easiest to learn. Since then I've knitted 4 sweaters, and I still wear the very first sweater I made at age 14 years. Now I'm trying to crochet, and working with the magic circle which is kicking my ass.

[@Weebwithpurplehair]

Nothing like coming out of winter hibernation. Goodbye pjs and Netflix, hello summer dresses, flowers, and fresh fruits and vegetables.

[@naturerazzi7shi495]

And delightful sunsets . too ❤

[@FatemeLife]

purple hair is a nice name

[@aminahreviewsstuff]

Ive been slow living all my life without having a name for it. Ive just always felt everyone around me was always in a rush

[@TaptheSoul]

I am convinced I smelled those garlic scones when they popped up on the screen 😂😂 my tummy literally growled! I am a first timer here and loving your channel.

[@emmadanyale]

Such a beautifully made video. Thank you for sharing a part of your life.

[@hannahpemarose6474]

thank you for validating the slow/sacred life so beautifully! new subscriber :-)

[@FatemeLife]

I'm very happy that I found you...🌷🌷🌷 I adore humans giving life to everything around them, and making everything better! Living slowly and hopefully intentionally.❤ Fateme Life, Canada

[@Bookedoncharity]

I have not knitted in a long time. I initially learned from my late grandmother. I have been trying to teach myself different things. Right now I am learning how to macrame

[@ruthemilygem]

this video is so dreamy. I love it.

[@pinky-ud1rt]

All i can say heaven..just imangin nobodys around no cars no tall buildigs just feilds and woodlands...your so lucky x❤ your so right slow living must be great x your voice is amazing so calm ❤

[@simonesylvester526]

I was shown your channel by the algorithm and have been binge watching your videos which has calmed my nervous system down immensely! I was sitting in a dark room for hours but by video 3, I was ready to open the curtains! (It’s 4pm in Mexico 🫠)

[@Aliceolivia2204]

Heya, love your content ❤ but I gasped when I saw the mint the in ground 😬 this is from my heart, word to the wise you might want to repot it into its own isolated pot. Mint is famous for taking over a garden totally and generally it’s recommended that stay separate ❤️❤️❤️

[@oliviachivhanganye5721]

Baby girl you are so multi talented. Yes, your voice is so soothing, I could listen to you all day😊

[@sujammaz]

this was exactly what i needed to calm my nerves just now, thank you so much for sharing ❤❤❤ also yay knitting! i got back to it last year, after decades of trying again and always dropping it again, and faster than before. my godmother was always (!) knitting on something and obviously very good at it so i learned the basics from her as a kid (sadly she lived quite far away, in another country even, so all we had were some vacations toghether) which is really nice, just having that deep muscle memory and knowing how to begin. but life wasn't too kind to me otherwise so my anxiety/perfectionism slowly killed all the fun in arts & crafts for me until i didn't even try anymore. permitting myself to just casually be watching other knitters and crafters without falling back into self-blame finally got me to the point of taking creative risks again and it really changed my whole outlook on life a lot! with my last project (just a simple scarf) i made an intentional point of unravelling it again and again, even finishing it a few times while already knowing that i was probably going to unravel it again - to prove to myself that it's totally okay to try and 'fail'. none of my work was wasted, because i got better and better at the pattern (two-colour brioche, highly recommend) and at estimating what length/width i can get from the type and amount of yarn i had. i am incredibly happy with the result and i wear it all the time 🤗 as an actual pattern i can highly recommend the 'garter stitch mitts' by isolda. not the perfect season to make mitts i know, but it's a freebie and i learned a lot from it. plus i love the quirky but minimalist look of it 😁 again, thanks so much for sharing 💖🔥💕

[@zairifish]

Hi, I’m a knitter and I love slow living. I was born in the UK and now I live in NYS in the mountains. I really connected with your story and I’m happy that you’re happy. Your life looks beautiful ❤

[@TheEnglishExperience]

Your videos get better and better with each post! I'm here for the long haul.

[@everythingkindred]

So kind, thank you!

[@yascalasse4010]

Just discovered your channel and it's exactly what I felt like watching today. I have been looking for some wholesome content- thank you! Love from South Africa :)

[@Anberel]

I’m sure someone already mentioned, but mint is highly invasive. If you don’t want it to take over the whole garden it’s best grown in a contained space.

[@user-lg3sw6ww4r]

You two people are the most amazing couple I have seen , keep leading the way of most simplistic life style and may we all learn stop chasing the dream of vanity and meaningless accumulation of useless mundane things ❤ well done slowing down yes that is the thing to pursue true happiness in small things . Praise God

[@ElvaMoss]

You are marvelous your work is beautiful you are inspiring love ya sis

[@DeerzyDeer]

I’m fortunate that I am a life long knitter and crocheter, my mother taught me both when I was very small. Her mother and grandmother taught her, so I always feel connected to my maternal ancestors when I knit or crochet. Even though I a 30+year experience I love beginner projects to slow down and de stress to. I am currently crocheting different flags, right now I’m making the pride flag as a wall hanging. Flags are great because just get the right colors, make the stripes and stitch them together, whatever size you like. Happy spring and happy knitting!

[@sujammaz]

what a great idea!

[@anashappydays]

I live a slow life too ❤ Your cottage is so beautiful. I am glad I found your channel. I love your creations. You are so talented 🌸

[@emmaromick]

[@user-lg3sw6ww4r]

Lovely lifestyle . God bless you two❤❤ you are a positive inspiration. May God truely bless your marriage in a BIG way❤❤❤

OMG that bread looked so good.

[@todrapayne]

I know, RIGHT!!! I'm here thinking, what kind of bread can I whip up quickly now. 😊

[@Ampad22]

Welcome to the knitting community! Ravelry has a database of knitting patterns that you can narrow down based on many things including experience level. My first knitting project was a knit stitch scarf on bulky yarn. I'm looking forward to purchasing one of your beautiful mugs.

[@debrabright9065]

[@AR-ev7jt]

knitting hats is so therapeutic, I like to make "theme" hats, vegy, fruit or holiday inspired hats. 💫🍃🍀

[@oliviaj9037]

Ahh your voice is so soothing, once I clicked I was so happy to hear it - then I saw you live in the lakes, my paradise. I long to live there, so I’m already a new follower from the first moment I meet you ❤️

I'm late to the party just discovering your channel, and wow. You are so inspiring and I'm re-examining how I can infuse more connections with nature and slowness within my own life. Also, your coffee ritual is everything. New sub 🫶

Your work is lovely. Those mugs are gorgeous. I love everything about this video. Your hair, your lifestyle, your art and craft. Just lovely. I'm really happy for you. To your success, Sis! ♥

[@ivybennett818]

This is the first video I've seen of yours. Your mugs are gorgeous.

[@alexw6168]

I've been knitting for almost 10 years now. One of the best beginner patterns and most useful is dishcloths. They make great gifts too

[@thestarinhereyes2]

Gosh- I love this channel! You're so lovely!!! 😊💕

[@tammymitchell4770]

Simply spectacular!! This was such an incredible journey and I felt like I was right there in Zimbabwe with you at times!😂 Thanks for taking us all to the Motherland!

[@christadavidart]

My daughter when she was 9 taught me how to knit. I couldn't get it at all. Fast forward a year and now I'm a stressed out graduate student; I pick up the needles and start knitting. Knitting literally got me through my second year of lectures. I love spinning my own yarn too! KZbin is a great place to find tutorials. Ravelry is a great place for patterns and ideas for what to do with your yarn. The experience of knitting gets better and better with the type of yarn used. Like, I love me some squishy merino. I am currently knitting with some Wool and the Gang which is nice. Oh and socks, making socks is so satisfying!

[@user-lg3sw6ww4r]

Thank you for your advise will definitely check that youtube channel

[@LaytonObserves]

This lifestyle is super aspirational. Love it

[@JoyandGraceArt]

beautiful and calming video!

[@sochelshibira08]

It’s like a lovely treat whenever a new video drops❤❤

[@phoebesinclair1007]

This is lovely. 😊 I taught myself to knit in college (with help from my mother, who herself was more into macramé). I started with scarves then worked my way to mittens, hats, legwarmers, and (much, much later) socks and gloves. In the beginning, I really loved books geared towards kids and teens to learn how to follow patterns and for inspiration.

[@homesteadingmami]

Knitting for me was a gateway “drug” to crocheting. (Crocheting is a little bit easier if you would like to try, granny squares and single crochets -> instant gratification). This is my first video watching of yours and I would love to be your best friend lol if you have any tips: i would like to get some equipment to “do clay” lol idk the verb but I love you already. Keep creating!!

[@Weebwithpurplehair]

I prefer crocheting it takes less concentration.

[@blumerlredpilledgirl8958]

Love your channel, such a mood. Interested in upcoming pottery and all your adventures.

Thank you for sharing your amazing gifts & talents...I will definitely be placing an order soon. Peace & Blessings!🥰🙏🏽
