A friend of mine posted it as her Insta note and I just silently thought 'noooo.'

That sounds great! Thank you!

Got it, thank you for the explanation!

I will try that, thank you! I also read putting a pan on the rack above the loaf helps? Any truth to that or is that something that depends on the oven or something?

Absolutely, tastes so much better too.

Unfortunately, I was starving by the time I finished them and ate them so fast that I didn't think to take pictures, but this is the recipe I used

TJ Maxx and similar stores have pretty good prices on basic bras. I got three for $18 like three years ago and I haven't needed any others since.

Just be naked, same effect, less money in my experience. (Unless you mean like underwear, then unfortunately we're stuck, but everything else, yeah, thrift)

The time is usually an estimate, or the best case scenario in my head. If I have to stop and add more time, I do. But 10 hours is probably what google maps told me it is. I drove straight 9 hours or so once, I think I stopped twice to use the bathroom/get a snack. Got there at 2am. It was rough, wouldn't do it again.

Little Bear is such a vibe.

Yes, absolutely! That is all under the cottagecore umbrella and we'd love to see what you post! Thank you!

Hello, I am the tumble dry spouse and the number of times I've been thwapped in the face with elastic in the middle of the night is too damn high. I'm going to get some of these. Do you have a tutorial or explanation of how you sewed some?

It worked! You're a lifesaver. Thank you so much!

So far so good, drivers were removed fine and it seems the software installer is picking up the graphics card. The drivers are installing now and I'll restart once it's done and hopefully that gets us where we need to be.

It is on a surge protector, luckily this isn't my work computer, just my personal one.

I'll try that, thank you!

Awesome! Thank you!

Yeah I was thinking about getting a bit wacky with it, but I'm not sure if my husband would be on board. But I'll start with removing the vaneer and sanding down, definitely. Thanks!

Just finished Rules for a Knight by Ethan Hawke. Very sweet and sad book, enjoyed it very much.

I dreamt my mom was screaming at me to find my little sister in a giant grocery store. Haven't spoken to either of them in a decade, no idea where that came from.

For the masc presenting cottagecore lovers here's some things I've collected, including shops, advice and pics (mostly taken from the subreddit for posterity):

Suspenders, dungarees or overalls

Vests!

Corduroy pants and sweaters

poet shirts are often nice and light and cottagecore for warmer weather, linen shirts as well

floral-print button-down shirts, accessories like enamel pins, mushroom or flower necklaces, canvas satchels to carry your stuff, cottagecore-print face masks.

Check local thrift stores!

Plaid, gingham, linen shorts and pants, brown or straw hats, waistcoats, leather boots, thick sweaters, Nordic patterns

hobbit/hobbitcore searches can round out the cottagecore selection, also check out farmercore or edwardian for the fancier side of masc and even light academia

Etsy is your friend, support local artists directly!

Edinburgh Woolen Mill for Tweed.

Cottagecore Closet has a great selection of men's clothing

ASOS for cable-knit jumpers.

Masc cottagecore Pinterest board

imgur album for inspo, with many body types

That's all I got for now, more later, probably.

My dream is a hobbit hole in the ground, so I can grow flowers on my roof.

Thank you so much! Anything you can contribute is appreciated greatly!

This is great! I will definitely use this!

Don't ruin my fantasy with your logic!

I started a Cottagecore community and it's doing okay, mostly just trying to think of megathreads that the community to have and trying to start conversations. It's not really catching yet but I have hope. Keep it up, we can make this place great, I think!

If you haven't caught Gravity Falls prior, highly recommend and a lot of people from Owl House worked on it.

Anne of Green Gables is also an easily accessible cottagecore series of books.

No joke, I was always of the mind that cats were smarter than dogs, just because of how regal the cats I grew up with were. I never had a ginger cat before now, they lower the intelligence of the entire species.

He's a special guy, all orange cats are. XD

Mythic Gm Assistant is great for the phone tho I prefer to use the web based apps, there's a lot and I like imthe UIs better.

That sounds wonderful! Do you do so yourself? I hear it's quite meditative as a hobby.

Legends and Lattes by Travis Baldree is a really sweet, low stakes fantasy read for those that are looking for something a little different.

The Secret Garden is available as a free audiobook on YouTube, this is one of my favorites and one of the quintessential cottagecore books in my humble opinion.

Thank you for making this community! I think there's a lot of overlap between the two, at least for me there is.
