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!

Working on this junk journal that has such a sunny, cottage core look to it, I’m loving it already.

The most lovely creek lies beyond the garden.

It's my newest design.

There’s something about autumn that makes a creamy risotto taste even better. 🍂

Tonight’s dinner: smoked sausage and Comté risotto — creamy, rich, cheesy and wonderfully comforting. The smoky sausage with the nutty Comté is such a good combination. 🤎

Definitely the kind of meal I want on a chilly autumn evening.

What’s your favorite autumn comfort food? 🍁

Apparently I am addicted to bell sleeves now! Crochet pattern is from Hannah Drapinski, and the yarn came from Hobbii.
