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?
I've only recently got into baking these last few months after losing my job and having the time to really try and learn. Most have come out pretty good so far. I'd like to try to make everyone on my list (not many, like 10 or so people) some tasty bread for Christmas as a gift, I plan to aslo make apple butter and maybe something else to go along. I'm just looking for ideas and tips as a beginner cooking several loaves for the first time. I don't have a dutch oven, it's been on my list for several Christmas' but they're just so expensive. So I would be using a good old oven for baking them. I saw that putting a pan of water in the oven helps make it crispy. Anything else I can do to help with the process? Thanks in advance for any help!

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.

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?

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.

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!
Every door in my house looks like this due to past owner pets and a bit of my own cats helping the damage along. It's been a project on the list for years and now i'm finally getting to it. I, of course, started with looking at new doors. But my doors are a non-standard size as far as I can tell (29.75in x 79.25in) so I think I would have to get the cut custom to fit? I then looked into things like peel and stick wallpaper and the like but I don't know if that will look good, or lay properly flat since it's so damaged and, of course, my cats just need one swipe to damage it yet again. Then I looked into the wood filler, which I didn't know was a thing until I saw a comment on a door repair video. But I'm not sure if that will work here? So that's all that I've researched but I'm unsure as to what the best approach is, any help would be appreciated. I would really like to make as little waste and spend as little money as possible, while still have staying power to the repair. How would you go about it? Any tips/tricks? Thanks for the help!

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.

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
Masc cottagecore Pinterest board

Thank you so much! Anything you can contribute is appreciated greatly!
Just 2 days ago we were at 50, thank you guys. Even if you're lurking I still appreciate every one of you. I hope to make this place cozier by the day, even if I'm the only one posting for months, I'll do my best to post content we can all enjoy. <3 Thanks again, everyone.

Don't know what they were called but they were very cool.
Such a beautiful place to wander around.
I know it's silly and in the grand scheme of the internet that's nothing but I appreciate every one of you, even if you're just lurkers. I hope we can grow this place into a safe, fun, cozy little corner of our own. If you ever think the server needs anything to make it what we'd like it to be, let me know!

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 think of any others please post them here and I will link them.

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.

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.
Feel free to post your book recommendations here or just talk about your favorites. As a tip and a reminder; please prioritize using your local library when looking for books. These centers of community are some of the most cottagecore things in existance. You're not expected to spend money, you are not advertised to 99% of the time and if you are it's about local events and offerings. Remember that cottagecore is a beautiful aesthetic but at it's heart it is a return to local communities, libraries serve those communities better than anything else. Go get your library card!

Thank you for making this community! I think there's a lot of overlap between the two, at least for me there is.
Hopefully I did it right.
I made this really quick as I move away from reddit, along with everyone else, because it was one of my favorite subreddits to browse through. I really don't know quite how this site works yet but I'm hoping we can learn together. If anyone is willing to design icons or banners that would be great and you will be credited! Just post them here or in their own thread, right now any content within the rules is great. <3
