Hello fellow cottagecore people! ❤️

I thought yous might appreciate my latest slightly strange project. I made a whole bunch of fabric onions and garlic from scraps!

The idea was inspired by my great-gran, who used to keep onions and garlic hanging from the ceiling, and I've always found that ridiculously charming. I wanted to make something with the same cosy, old-fashioned feeling that wouldn't eventually shrivel up or start sprouting, so... fabric vegetables happened, hehehe.

I experimented with a few different shapes and, inspired by Jente https://www.youtube.com/c/MijnWolden , tried my hand at dyeing some of the fabrics myself using things I found around the house and garden, before eventually turning everything into a little autumn hanging display.

A few people asked if they could make their own, so I put together the patterns and some instructions. They're completely free if anyone here would like them. No paid membership or anything like that:

They're quite beginner-friendly and a really nice way of using those tiny fabric scraps that are too pretty to throw away but somehow never big enough for anything.

I'm already thinking they could be cute as a wreath or garland too.

Anyway, I thought this might be the one corner of the internet where my fabric onion crop would be properly appreciated.

And if anyone makes some, PLEASE show me. I desperately want to see other people's onions!

Cheers!

It was such a fun day out! ☺️

Nature is so beautiful

Hi everyone! I’m doing everything on my homestead completely alone. It is located in a harsh climate zone, so every single vegetable here is a small victory for me. I just love the quiet countryside, cooking simple food, and working with my hands.

Hello, j’aimerais me trouver des robes dans ce style (cottagecore, campagne romantique, à l’ancienne). Auriez-Vous de bonnes adresses de friperies (ou boutique pas trop chères) sur Paris ?

Sinon je pensais à me les coudre moi même, mais je ne sais pas où trouver de (vrais) patrons des qualités pour cela.

Mercii

I acquired a Faerie for my garden. Placed her on the mushroom I made beside my pond.....

Mostly cottagecore-adjacent with the sun hats, but does anyone know a good way to keep your big hats from flying away? I know the obvious answer is “sew a string and tie under chin” but I wanted to know if there’s any other good options, like if hair clips would do the job (even with short hair) or something else that doesn’t go under the chin (I’m not a huge fan of the pressure from chin-strap type stuff).

Obviously if the winds just too strong I have to take the L, but sometimes it feels like even a small breeze takes my hat away 😭 I’d like to go outside without one hand on my head

I’m not a nail tech, nor do I sell my nails. I figured you all world appreciate my newest creation! Everything is hand painted and I’m in love 😻

I made apple-turnovers (apple pastries) with self-made apple sauce and raisins! Dried the peels for tea as well! (I used rollout pastry because it was on sale)

Just some photos I’ve taken here and there. :)

This summer I moved to Arizona, which is beautiful. I'm in the Sonoran Desert, which is the wettest desert on earth and thus greener than others.

I watch a lot of cottage, homemaking, homesteading, cooking, birding and gardening content. Desert birding channels are abundant, but aside from a few homestead channels, I haven't found any Arizona channels along these other lines. None seem to be desert settings, which perhaps is unheard of. One of the few homestead ones I found showed them cooking a rattlesnake on the BBQ, blecccch!

Anyway, I know it's a stretch but if you're aware of any cottage or similar channels in Arizona or any desert, please drop them here!
