What Is Slow Living? | Springtime Woodland Cottage Life
Vložit
- čas přidán 17. 04. 2024
- 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
your comment really resonated with me
amen!
exacly what I was thinking I love seeing this!
Omg, can you do an audiobook of every book on the planet. 😂 Your voice is soo soothing 🥹 it’s so comforting!🤍
Ahh that’s so kind, thank you!
I know, her voice ❤
Their videos soothe me too.
i second this! 😆
She could be a voice on the Headspace app that leads meditation!
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 ❤
The cinematography, editing, philosophy, narration and craft is divine ✨
Nothing like coming out of winter hibernation. Goodbye pjs and Netflix, hello summer dresses, flowers, and fresh fruits and vegetables.
And delightful sunsets . too ❤
purple hair is a nice name
I was this many years old when I realize you can forage clay for pottery lol. How cool!
yeah I was like damn...i want to do that
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
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.
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.
thank you for validating the slow/sacred life so beautifully! new subscriber :-)
Your videos get better and better with each post! I'm here for the long haul.
So kind, thank you!
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
Baby girl you are so multi talented. Yes, your voice is so soothing, I could listen to you all day😊
OMG that bread looked so good.
I know, RIGHT!!! I'm here thinking, what kind of bread can I whip up quickly now. 😊
this video is so dreamy. I love it.
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 🫠)
❤❤❤
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.❤

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 ❤️❤️❤️
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 :)
Such a beautifully made video. Thank you for sharing a part of your life.
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 ❤
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!
what a great idea!
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.
Ahh I will check it out. Thank you so much!! 💛
I'm a knitter too! Welcome! In addition to Ravelry, Wool and the Gang is another site that has some free beginner- friendly knitting patterns. The hat looks pretty. You did a very good job.
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 🌸
Girrrrrrrl, what can’t you do 😩 knitting, gardening, pottery, baking…😮
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
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.
Lovely lifestyle . God bless you two❤❤ you are a positive inspiration. May God truely bless your marriage in a BIG way❤❤❤
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 ❤
Your channel popped up on my feed and l'm so happy. Your voice and vlog syle are amazing. The sconces look delish! Your pottery is beautiful. I love your cottage.
This is so beautiful! Love seeing your life captured so cinematically ❤
You are marvelous your work is beautiful you are inspiring love ya sis
knitting hats is so therapeutic, I like to make "theme" hats, vegy, fruit or holiday inspired hats.
💫🍃🍀
Beautiful smile, beautiful voice, wonderful personality, and your editing is SUPERB! Love your content. Greetings from NC! 🙏❤🌞
This is SO WHOLESOME. I need more of this on my social feeds 🥰🥰🥰
Your voice is beautiful,, so calm, it's therapy for me when I'm stressed
Though you take to post but when you post it makes a difference, you're all amazing
You and your boyfriend, stay blessed always both of you
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 💖🔥💕
I am beyond happy I found your little page!! you have a talent for making this type of lifestyle feel within reach and close to the heart and ahhhh I love it!
The hat looks perfect, the color is just right for your partner. 👍🏻
I admire you my beautiful African sister❤
I'm so glad that find this video, this channel. Thank You! Do what you do and share with us! Thanks from Ukrainian girl)))
You are my dreams come to life ♥️ I have just arrived to your channel and I’ll be here for a while. Thank you 🙏🏼
Your channel is so beautiful 🌅
Love it here 💓
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!!
I prefer crocheting it takes less concentration.
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! CZcams 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!
Thank you for your advise will definitely check that youtube channel
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 ❤️
Precioso tu trabajo, y el lugar donde vives es maravilloso, un gusto seguir tu canal
What a beautiful refreshing dream you are. So happy to have found you. ❤
Beautiful video. Love your shots of springtime and your pottery! Thanks for sharing😊
Love your videos! Thank you for sharing your a calming, soothing energy 🧡
Use your mugs colours to match your choice of yarns.
It keeps you focused
I don't knit, but I do crochet and sew! some of the first pieces I made while crocheting were hats, gloves, and blankets. things that seem to be easier with a simple pattern are easy to follow as a beginner.
Oh i love you dear 🇿🇦
Please do a video just on pottery. Its so calming with your soothing voice😍
New subscriber here ❤ beautiful video, so peaceful and right up my street with slow living. I’m so happy spring is here it is my birthday this week 😊 although sadly my dad just passed away recently so I’ve been grounding myself literally by gardening ☺️☺️ I love your pottery
Hello from New York 👋🏽😁! Your CZcams channel dropped on my algorithm today! Love the vibe, peacefulness and tranquility! I’m 61 & retired from my job of 22 years at a hospital last year. Learning to slow down and enjoy nature and get reacquainted with myself! Living my best life! 🙌🏾 I love your video and your beautiful home & rural life! God bless you & your versatile talents! 😊🙏🏾❤️
Your videos, your mugs, your VOICE - Consistently calming, soothing, very beautiful, composed, .... Warm hello from Ethiopia🥰
This is the first video I've seen of yours. Your mugs are gorgeous.
Nice rural setting.🎉❤
I just found your channel and I love it! I'm watching from Nova Scotia. I can knit but I crochet better. LOL I can't just sit and do nothing. So if I'm watching a movie, I'm crocheting. I make blankets and give them away. Otherwise I'm a writer under a pen name. Love your pottery!❤
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! ♥
Hello, new subscriber over here! Loving the content and the organic feeling of the channel.
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
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.

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 🫶
Gosh- I love this channel! You're so lovely!!! 😊💕
beautiful and calming video!
Ooow I love the wool and hat 😍 Well done on the Circular Needles, I haven’t been able to master that 😕 What a lovely story you tell and you have been very busy with making your beautiful mugs, I’m a potter too, so I can appreciate the effort you have put into those 💕
Beautiful video. Thank you for sharing these moments of your life❤
Thank you so much for watching! 💛
GOSH I LOVE YOU SO MUCH HI!
Love your channel, such a mood. Interested in upcoming pottery and all your adventures.
I’m crocheting , little bit knitting ❤ and embroidery ( but I love learning ) im here new 🎉🎉🎉
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!
Oh my goodness. Those cushions on your bed are just gorgeous! I love your videos they are like a meditation, so good for the soul xx
Hi!! thank you so much for your videos! I love relaxing to them! I'm a knitter and I love that you're getting into it and making a beanie!! knitting and crocheting are my life and I wish more people were into it and understood it! but wow way to go!! I've been in the fiber arts for 10+ years and it's changed my life!
This is just beautiful I enjoy vlogs and videos like this so relaxing to watch calming
cool how your skin blends in with the scenery the green gold and red hues
It’s like a lovely treat whenever a new video drops❤❤
What a wonderful world! 👌 Your choice of lifestyle is great. I bet, your former Zimbo associates are fascinated & envious 😊. Keep it up & happy living.
This lifestyle is super aspirational. Love it
I love your pottery! I attempted to learn pottery a while ago but failed lol.
Love your videos, so happy when you post a new one
You are beautiful inside and out and have such a soothing voice
Love the pottery and all things natural
I'll pass on the mushroom trying 😅
You are so beautiful and so is your simple living! Wish you years of new subscribers and open opportunities
Your mugs are BEAUTIFUL❤❤. I just love the qwarky feel I get watching your vlog a mix of Japanese Egyptian. Ancient feel; I pray that's not rude.
I am soo happy to come across your vlog. Your such a happy baby. Love you loads. I can relate to you. Sorry too much. ❤❤❤
Watching from Zimbabwe
The scones look really tasty and your pottery items look great too!
Wow, I just discovered your channel today and I'm so glad that I did...Just subscribed! Your artistry is simply beautiful, and so wonderfully earthy and unique. As I transition into Slow Living, I'm finding the journey quite enjoyable. This was such a lovely video and I'm feeling more inspired to get back to crafting things with my hands, like I did many years ago with my dearly departed mom. Thank you for sharing your amazing gifts & talents...I will definitely be placing an order soon. Peace & Blessings!🥰🙏🏽
Such a lovely video, thank you.
We welcoming winter this side, watching from south africa. Much love xx
I love knitting . I enjoy Musselburgh hats. Tons of stockinette and a really lovely hat when you’re finished. Also socks. Who doesn’t enjoy having hand knit socks!
As always I LOVED watching this, please teach me how to knit ❤
Tú artesanía es Bellísima!!!❤🎉
Beautiful channel.. just came across you. Thank you🌹
Fingerless gloves are a great beginner project! Just knit a rectangle double the width of your hand and however long you like, and then fold and sew up the side, leaving a hole for your thumb. : ) That was one of the first sorts of projects I experimented with when I started and it really doesn't take a lot of yarn either. You can do ribbing for the cuff around your fingers and wrist or try out all sorts of combos of different stitches. Very versatile project.
I love your videos so calming ❤😊
Enjoyed your video. Found your channel tonight. I’m a novice knitter and I’ve made several hats. Your hat is coming alone nicely. I really liked your pottery as well. Good luck with your garden.
I love knitting. That's a beautiful hat. I find all of my free fun patterns on Ravelry. I'm working on the Anya Knit Summer Tee right now. This is my first time working with bamboo yarn.
Glad I stopped by.
