    HI everyone, just to let you know that I have now set up a private Facebook Group specifically for the discussion of everything based on my relaxing twice-weekly CZcams videos, such as: Baking, Home Decor, Crafting, Decorating, DIY, Homemaking, Soft Living, and The Great Outdoors. In this Facebook group I look forward to, and encourage the discussion of potential new ideas with like-minded members for my CZcams Channel's future content, which can be found at:

    I needed this today. I am guilty of binge watching Escape to The Country and hankering for a seaside cottage. However I live in a beautiful part of the world and I want to practice making the most of what I have and being grateful instead of wishing for something else.❤

    For a long time I had a sofa bed in my craft room. It is so comfy for doing the hours of hand-sewing and knitting. I often sneaked in there at night, when a particular project wouldn't leave my head and I would read up on something and/or fall asleep with the most gorgeous materials next to me. The sofa bed has now moved in the living room, but I shall look out for an old armchair-bed to replace my dream island of creativity.

      Hi there, and thank you for your lovely message earlier today 🥰 Your craft room sounds like such a fabulously cosy dream hideaway to retreat to when you're in that crafting zone! And to have a snuggly sofa bed in there too is just the icing on the cake and pure luxury ❤ I can imagine getting all comfy in your parking place, the sun beaming through the windows, and then dozing off for a wonderful siesta - just perfect 😍 I'm hoping I'll have some space left for a small arm chair too, watch this space! Have a great week, Vanessa 💌💌💌

      @@forever-our-home Enjoy your week as well. I am so glad I have found you on here. I think I am not alone by saying channels like yours are such valuable islands of sanity in the big surge of unreasonableness. Sharing your journey of wholesomeness is helping many to realise, that what they have is all they need. They just have to look anew at it and allow their creativity and instincts a free reign. xxx

    My mom is a great sewer and she did a lot of clothes for us when we were child, I will ask her if she could make the rabbit patron for me, I like your ideas and your videos, so calming, I can feel my mom presence while watching you.

      @forever-our-home  Před 5 měsíci +2

      Hi Meg, what lovely childhood memories you have of your mum making your clothes when you were little, she sounds like a very skilled and special lady 🥰 And, such a great idea to ask her to make the bunny for you, that would be a lovely family heirloom 💌 I'm so pleased that you're enjoying my videos, and that you are finding comfort in them too!! Happy Easter, and have a wonderful week, Vanessa 💌💌💌

    As always Vanessa, a lovely calming video to watch. Cannot wait to see your craft room completion, glad the suggestion helped you. We live on the edge of the Peak district and although i would have loved a 300 year old cottage, means must, so we bought a small dorma bungalow and made it into my dream of Cottage Core. I love to see your ideas and baking each week. Keep up the good work and have a great week! x

      Hi there Tracey, thank you so much for your lovely comments this evening, I'm so pleased that you enjoyed my video content this week 🥰 OMG, how wonderful to live on the outskirts of the Peak District, it's such a beautiful area and one of our most favourite places to visit, actually we'll be in Ashbourne very soon 🤩 Your home sound absolutely PERFECT, I love how you've styled your bungalow into your Cottage Core dream🥰 And, such an excellent example of how you're contently living your dream without the 300 year old cottage, we should start a club 😄 Have a wonderful week, Vanessa 💌💌💌

    Hi Vanessa. I’m enjoying your videos. I too haven’t got my dream country home. I married a sheep farmer who came with a rather run down mud brick house built just after WW11. But I have made it into the sort of home I have dreamed of. Here in Australia I also watch Escape to the country. I just love those old 200+ homes with all the beams and small rooms

      Hi there Maureen in Australia, thanks for your lovely message today, I'm so glad you're enjoying my channel 🥰 Wow, your home sounds wonderfully unique, and how lovely that you have made it into your dream home, and with all those sheep - Amazing 💌 I didn't know Escape to the Country was available to watch in Australia, it's so addictive isn't it, but it gives you some great ideas to implement in our own homes! Well, have a great week Maureen, from Vanessa💌💌💌

    I have been living my cottage core life for 50 yrs. It's easier on the pocketbook and easier on the heart. I got my skills from my mom and grandma., both took what they had on hand and made something with it. Those skills and determination have served me well. Today things are a bit easier with Pinterest and You Tube with inspiration and tutorials. I think of God looking down on us, would He be pleased we are keeping His home tidy and pretty? 🌺🌲🌺

    • @forever-our-home

      Hello there Iris, thank you so much for sharing your beautiful story with us today 🥰 Your mom and grandma sounded like amazingly creative and skilled women, as do you too 🥰 Let's hope that these skills keep on being passed down through the generations, as cottage core is definitely a wonderful and satisfying way to live 💞 Have a lovely week, Vanessa 💌💌💌

    Your videos are perfect for me - thank you so much for making them. So many lovely ideas for me to try. I adore you bunny in the dungarees and feel inspired to have a go myself. You are so right about homes being what we make them. We can't always have the house we desire, but we can make a home that brings us great joy. Best wishes from Lottie in Suffolk.

      Hi there Lottie from Suffolk, many thanks for your lovely comments today 🥰 I'm so pleased to hear that you're enjoying my videos, and that you now have the itch to make your own bunny too - Exciting!!! I'd love to know if you get started on it!! And definitely, here's to making and crafting homes that bring us great joy ❤ Have a wonderful week, Lottie, Vanessa💌💌💌

    Hello Vanessa! I am a new subscriber and am enjoying your videos! I love how you separated the carnations into many little jars instead of keeping them as one big arrangement. I am going to do that the next time I buy flowers! Your tart looked so delicious, and the bunny.....well the bunny is simply too cute for words! Have a wonderful week ahead!

    • @forever-our-home
      @forever-our-home  Před 5 měsíci +2

      Hi there, Lori, and welcome to my channel 🥰 Thank you so much for your very kind words this evening, I'm so pleased to hear that you're enjoying my content 🤩 Yes, splitting your carnations up into smaller jars is a great way to add little pops of colour all around your home, and for only £3 a bunch from my local supermarket! - bargain!! I'm so glad you liked this idea, plus my tart & bunny too 😃 Have a wonderful week, and thank you for being yet another AMAZING subscriber, Vanessa 💌💌💌

    Good afternoon Vanessa, I love Carnations and they are my favourite flowers. I do not dream about living in a cottage, I am already in one but without any Wisteria and semi rural! It does not matter what the age of a house is, the important thing is what you do with the inside to make it homely and beautiful. Your home is certainly beautiful. Thank you for the shout out. XXX I made a pin board out of some surplus plywood, covered the front with some wadding, put some fabric on it and voila. I used crocodile style fixings on the back to hang it on the wall. With using wadding, you can use dressmaking pins to hold things in place. The only downside with mine is that I did not make it big enough. Another brilliant idea I have gleamed from Pinterest is a cotton reel holder utilising a redundant picture frame. I removed the glass and superglued bamboo golf tees onto the board at two inch intervals. You must be patient with the glue as it will take a while to set properly. I usually wait overnight to do this as they can initially appear not to be sticking as you would expect. I can then put one reel of cotton onto each golf tee with a corresponding bobbin. You then have them prettily displayed on the wall. The Bakewell tart was so gorgeous looking. Yet another recipe for me to try at some point. Since last week's video, I made the lentil and carrot soup you showed. I made a total of ten portions and froze it. I love this recipe and it tasted so good. Thank you for yet another delightful video. I think you have got the type of content just perfect with what you have been showing. Have a great week, Sophie.

      Hi there Sophie, thank you so much for your lovely kind comments today re my home, your cottage sounds dreamier and dreamier each week 🥰 You're very welcome for the shout out 🥰 You're absolutely right, what matters is what you do with the inside of your home to make it homely and beautiful, topped with a good dollop of love ❤ I've got to say, your homemade pin board and cotton reel holder both sound AMAZING, and definitely something else I'm definitely going to be trying in future videos!!! I just love that your craft room has been so thoughtfully hand crafted, and you have been kind enough to share your ideas with me - thank you so much 😘 Great to hear that you made the carrot, lentil and tarragon soup this week, and I'm so pleased you enjoyed it and have plenty stocked up in the freezer - you can't beat a bit of batch cooking 😀 I definitely recommend the Bakewell Tart, it's one of my favourites, and Carl's too now!! Also, thank you, thank you, thank you, for the feedback regarding my video content! This is so much appreciated and will support me to ensure that I'm creating and developing content that is of direct interest to viewers in future videos - you're a STAR 🤩 Have a wonderful week too, Vanessa 💌💌💌
