When it’s taken too far, capitalism becomes a mockery of itself, encouraging greed instead of rewarding effort and innovation. If you take a moment to really look at the state of the world right now, you might come to the conclusion that we’re living in a bizarre dystopia of sorts where consumerism is king, employees are burned out, and corporations (arguably) run rampant despite all the distrust that’s growing.

Words by Louisa MartinPhotos by WeHeartIt My nighttime routine isn't complete without tucking myself in with a little Tik Tok. After washing my face and brushing my teeth and turning off the heat so that last month’s utilities bill will stop giving me nightmares, I bundle up and traverse the three snowy clicks across my phone screen to my Tik Tok FYP (For you Page). This is twenty-two. But something strikes my groggy interest this wintery eve. As I scroll through what were formerly gullies of dogs, cake decorators, Adele impressions or new dance trends, I depart. I am still in my twin bed but now a field of lavender surrounds me, a straw hat with yellow silk ribbon is bestowed upon my head. I am transported to the English countryside. I begin touring streets of thatched roofs blanketed in ivy, honeysuckle growing up the side of nestled charming bungalows. As I pull my quilt tighter over my chin, I see rural skies painted with storybook sunsets. Chirping robins and folky melodies join the hum of my roommates nighttime sound machine. I have arrived to a land of Cottage Core and Tik Tok has brought me here. Tik Tok and the Shetland pony I just gracefully dismounted in my head. What is Cottage Core and why has my Tik Tok feed been consumed by it for the past three months? This internet style fad encapsulates a longing for nature, art, girlish minimalism and square neck dresses. (See one of my favorite Cottage Core Tik Tok-ers, Sophie Seddon, for inspo) But why? Why did my Tik Tok feed transport me to white puffy sleeves in European daisy fields? It’s popularity is spurred by a generation longing for comfort and innocence. Much like movies or blaring music or the perfect novel or an unorthodox amount of Trader Joe's almond butter cups (from no experience of my own) provide an escape and distraction, Cottage Core transports the weary to a world of elegance and felicity. Unfortunately, the weary are not in short supply these days. But this seemingly surface level internet craze is multifaceted and worth dissecting. An exhausted generation of Tik Tok teens needs Cottage Core, but it's worth acknowledging that Cottage Core needs Tik Tok. The trend elevates the platform from its usual stereotypes, giving willing users an ethereal scrolling space and growing students of the refined. Will I start foraging my own honey and sewing my own clothes any time soon? Not likely. Did I heavily consider it? Absolutely. But, Cottage Core may need Tik Tok. Here lies the unlikely pairing of an efficient, technology colored generation and a return to a slow-paced life of peace and pleasantry. While lovely, these themes need Tik Tok to be remembered by a generation on the go. The perfect irony relies on the fact that in order to appreciate the luxurious, old fashioned and calming facets of a life in the European countryside these images must be portrayed on a platform fueled by brevity and immediate gratification of a search. While imperfect, the dynamics of this symbiotic relationship uncover the truth that the best way to appreciate the old may be by embracing the new. How about them (fresh-picked from my moss covered backyard) apples?

This is inspired by James and the Giant Peach! This is one of a whole range of yarns and batts inspired by both the themes in the film and book and the music. Do check them out! The batt comes in my custom band with a free charm attached. All items are gift wrapped free of charge. Why not buy a complimentary batt or yarn from the others in the Giant Peach series to create a truly unique gift or project? Also take a look at the complimentary coloured stitch markers and project gift bags for that special present for someone else...or a well deserved treat for yourself! You can mix and match to select the gift bag, stitch marker set and yarns or batts for your individual needs. And with free gift wrapping and a label worded as you choose what better gift for any crafty person. The full Giant Peach colourway range titles are: My name is James That's the life Eating the peach Clouds Spiker, Sponge & a rhino Magic man Giant Peach Into the peach All at sea 100 seagulls and 1 shark Way off course where dreams come true Good news A generous 50g batt of soft airy fibres hand carded and blended by me. It is super soft and luxurious to the touch and very light. Looks wonderful with any of the other Giant Peach colourways. All batts are folded and rolled with layers of tissue before banding so they unroll beautifully ready for you to use. A free charm is attached to each band. Thank you for looking at my shop and if you have any questions please get in touch. I am happy to make yarn in any colour or combination of colours. The colour is baby safe and non toxic. The merino is South American and from non mulesed flocks. There are also a range of UK local (Herefordshire and Shropshire) wools and alpaca in my yarns. I also include silk, cottons and other luxury fibres for added texture and character.. This is something special and classy.
