The Art of Slow Living in the Countryside | Little Things That Make Life Beautiful: Sewing & Cooking
Slow living and cottagecore lovers — spend a peaceful summer day with me in the countryside, filled with homemade food, white cherry jam, a cozy sewing project, garden flowers, and simple moments of rural life.
Welcome to a hot summer day in the countryside, where I try to find joy in small routines, seasonal cooking, and handmade beauty. In this video, I make white sweet cherry jam, prepare a refreshing homemade lemonade, cook a simple summer dinner with zucchini, peas and rice, and sew a romantic ruffle bag from second-hand fabric.
🍒 I begin the day with white sweet cherry jam — sorting the berries, removing the pits, adding sugar, and slowly preserving a little piece of summer in jars.
🍋 On a very hot day, homemade lemonade becomes the most refreshing little comfort, bringing back a bit of energy and calm.
🍽️ For dinner, I prepare breaded cutlets, stuffed zucchini, and rice with green peas — simple seasonal food inspired by garden harvests and countryside living.
🪡 I also begin a cozy sewing project: a handmade summer ruffle bag made from a thrifted shirt. Soft fabric, gentle ruffles, buttons, and the joy of creating something useful with my own hands.
🌾 You will also see quiet summer moments in the village: harvesting machines passing by the house, watering tired flowers, wildflowers in bloom, a sunset by the lake, and peaceful everyday life in the countryside.
