We’re all staying home more right now due to the global pandemic. We have more time to cook, to bake, to clean, to read, to think, and to create.
Let’s read The Little Book of Cottagecore (via Amazon; affiliate link) together this February!
The publisher writes about Emily Kent’s new (January 2021) book:
Returning to the simpler life has never been easier. If you’re craving the aroma of freshly baked bread, spending more time in nature, or seeing the sunlight filtering through homemade curtains, then cottagecore is for you!
The Little Book of Cottagecore helps you make simple living a reality with delightful cottagecore activities you can enjoy no matter where you live. Whether you’re interested in baking pies from scratch, basic sewing and cross stitch, gardening, beekeeping, or making candles and soaps, this book is full of fun, hands-on activities that make it easy and enjoyable to unplug from modern life.
Full of step-by-step instructions and homegrown inspiration, you’ll find fun, practical ways to enjoy rustic and relaxing cottagecore activities in your everyday life.
Chapters include:
- Chapter 1 – Gardening and Beekeeping
- Chapter 2 – Tea Time
- Chapter 3 – Baking Breads, Pies and Cookies
- Chapter 4 – Herbal Remedies
- Chapter 5 – Candle Making
- Chapter 6 – Cross-Stitch and Sewing
- Chapter 7 – Quilting and Embroidering
- Chapter 8 – Soapmaking
I’m definitely wanting, after this long, dark, isolating winter, to spend more time making, repairing, creating, and building things this Spring. I feel like The Little Book of Cottagecore (via Amazon; affiliate link) will be inspiring and a quick, easy, fun read. (I probably won’t be making any soap or candles at home, but I like reading about those homey activities!)
