What Is Slow Living? | Springtime Woodland Cottage Life

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 10 ก.พ. 2025
- 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 ✨
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
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
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.
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!
OMG that bread looked so good.
I know, RIGHT!!! I'm here thinking, what kind of bread can I whip up quickly now. 😊
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.
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 🫠)
❤❤❤
this video is so dreamy. I love it.
Baby girl you are so multi talented. Yes, your voice is so soothing, I could listen to you all day😊
What a beautiful refreshing dream you are. So happy to have found you. ❤
You are very talented in finding plants in the wild and in pottery, keep it up!
You are so beautiful and so is your simple living! Wish you years of new subscribers and open opportunities
The scones look really tasty and your pottery items look great too!
Just discovered your channel! Subscribed. So lovely and inspiring! Thank you soooo much! Yay!
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!
Very nice. Thanks for sharing
Glad I stopped by.
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
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 ❤️❤️❤️
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
You are so beautiful! Both external but in your essence you SHINE ✨ your style is so cute and gorg. Where do you shop?
Sending magical blessing lovely soul x
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 🌸
You are living a dream!! As a girl in the city i fantasize about a slow life. Amazing content!
Lovely lifestyle . God bless you two❤❤ you are a positive inspiration. May God truely bless your marriage in a BIG way❤❤❤
Gurl! where do you live? I love this. You look so cosy and comfortable and free, living your best life. I love this for you!
This is SO WHOLESOME. I need more of this on my social feeds 🥰🥰🥰
I want the mug you’re holding those swirls are so pretty!
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.
Oh i love you dear 🇿🇦
Such a beautifully made video. Thank you for sharing a part of your life.
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 :)
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
This is so beautiful! Love seeing your life captured so cinematically ❤
Mwanasikana wakakomborerwa zvakanyanyisa,hapana chaunobata nemawoko ako chinoramba kubuda zvakanaka...usadzokere kumasure ,ita basa rako rehumhizha upenye ❤❤❤...brilliant
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.
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.
I'm in awe of your videos, such a beautiful and peaceful life. You are doing what you love and it agrees with you. Enjoy it!!!
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.❤

I ❤️ the slow intentionality of your video. Your pottery and knitting is beautiful. Continue to enjoy your journey.
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!
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!❤
knitting hats is so therapeutic, I like to make "theme" hats, vegy, fruit or holiday inspired hats.
💫🍃🍀
Girrrrrrrl, what can’t you do 😩 knitting, gardening, pottery, baking…😮
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 ❤
Use your mugs colours to match your choice of yarns.
It keeps you focused
Ooh, knitter here! One of the first patterns I made (and gifted to loads of other people) was Jane Richmond’s Autumn hat. It’s super bulky seed stitch goodness. We still wear ours all the time.
I found your channel just today while looking up info on wild clay. So inspiring, can’t wait to watch all your videos.
Precioso tu trabajo, y el lugar donde vives es maravilloso, un gusto seguir tu canal
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! TH-cam 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
Love your videos! Thank you for sharing your a calming, soothing energy 🧡
Beautiful video. Love your shots of springtime and your pottery! Thanks for sharing😊
Beautiful video. Thank you for sharing these moments of your life❤
Thank you so much for watching! 💛
I love your pottery! I attempted to learn pottery a while ago but failed lol.
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 ❤️
It’s like a lovely treat whenever a new video drops❤❤
Gosh- I love this channel! You're so lovely!!! 😊💕
I took a class in a wool shop. It helped me get started. If you’re not already on Ravelry I highly recommend. There’s a huge pattern database as well as a helpful community.
GOSH I LOVE YOU SO MUCH HI!
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
This is the first video I've seen of yours. Your mugs are gorgeous.
Your channel is so beautiful 🌅
Your videos, your mugs, your VOICE - Consistently calming, soothing, very beautiful, composed, .... Warm hello from Ethiopia🥰
Beautiful video!
beautiful and calming video!
Hello from New York 👋🏽😁! Your TH-cam 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! 😊🙏🏾❤️
This is just beautiful I enjoy vlogs and videos like this so relaxing to watch calming
I admire you my beautiful African sister❤
New subbie here. So glad I found you.
Nice rural setting.🎉❤
Watching from Zimbabwe
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.
Love your content ❤
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 💖🔥💕
Aww this makes me so happy! There are not enough WOC in the cottagecore scene. ❤
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
Stumbled by happenstance and found my vibe! What a delightful experience in these sad times. I will gratefully add to my daily routine for body, mind, Spirit wellness 🙏🏽
Waooo waoo ..ana great video with the most magnificent narration..soo calming!!
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.
Amazing video 📸👏
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
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!
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 💕
I'm so glad I've found your content as a potter who longs to sell her own work! It would be amazing if you shared a video where you discuss the finances behind your business and how you're able to sustain with seasonal batches. Thank you so much for sharing with us :)
I love your videos so calming ❤😊
Such a lovely video! Your ceramic mugs are beautiful, and I thought it was so very cool that you occasionally find clay in the woods to use as decoration. Genius! x
I’m crocheting , little bit knitting ❤ and embroidery ( but I love learning ) im here new 🎉🎉🎉
