👏THIS👏 isn't 👏👏 SELFISH👏👏 THIS IS A SERVICE TO HUMANITY

4. I think this absolutely calls for a "Bring your son to work Day" photoshoot with you as Joan of Arc and him on your shoulder:)

"You're a mouse!" "I am a gentleman." The Tale of Despereaux is so good

Wee need more “because I felt like it” content, we love it and it sounds like you do too 😊

Next you should build him a fair maiden!(complete with dress, apron, and teeny flower crown!)♥️

I think you mean making a little mouse knight for *MY* mental health 🥹

When you held him up for us to "boop the snoot" I did it jokingly but it gave me way too much serotonin 🥰

It isn't selfish to do something you enjoy, and to then share that enjoyment with others who want to hear about it 💚

A fellowship, yes, but hear me out. A fellowship of different tiny forest critters(i.e. Frogs, birds, rabbits, moles, shrews, hedgehogs, etc) with cute little fantastical companions like fairies and sentient mushroom friends 🥺💜

An entire dnd adventuring party of these little friends! Little mouse druid, barbarian, rogue, cleric, bard etc!

The fact you don't know Redwall, I'm so jealous you get to discover this series fresh. The books are great and there's an animated series from the 90s. That show in literally my childhood. I hear the opening in my head as I write this! :D

I love himb. That's absolutely Martin The Warrior, right there. Make him a little Gonff friend!

Edit: RACHEL OKAY BUT CONSIDER... an entire fellowship of different woodland creatures fitting into various fantasy archetypes 🥺 I TOO WOULD DIE FOR THIS BEAUTIFUL GENTLEMEN Also, lens breaking solidarity 👌I broke mine last week

I wanna see a squirrel bard so badly. So I just thought I might speak it into existence. 💙 Mouse knight is adorable.🥰

the amount of serotonin i got from booping his little nose, thank you rachel for the opportunity 🙏

i made a little crochet mouse a couple years ago who is my little bff and that i am continually making costumes for (including historical costumes) so this video is highly relatable to me in a way that i’m sure rachel was not expecting

Another mouse warrior book to add to your list: The Tale of Despereaux! This little guy reminded me so much of the mouse in the book🥰

please continue this 😭 i love him, the frog can be the party's bard and now u have a Knight!!, im ready for a woodland creature animal bestfriend DND fantasy themed moment

SO CUTE!!! Now can you make him a loyal steed? I think a large squirrel or small raccoon would be about the right size... Forget all other projects on the board - we need an army of mice knights! Cheers!

Behold! The cutest, most noble knight in the Queendom of Maksy 😍🐀

Rachel making little companions is now my favourite genre of videos: baby Yoda, felt frog, mouse Knight, I love them all

“Mouse armor…this may be my new calling. Who knew?” We did Rachel…we knew. 😂❤

Oh thank you for letting me boop the snoot! This is what I needed for my mental health today. Thank you! This is the greatest! He's too cute!

I'm ashamed to say I didn't know your channel existed until tonight. So glad I hurt my shoulder and came home early from work to find this! The whole vibe and aesthetic is perfect and your mouse buddy reminds me of the D&D character I made but ended up not being able to play. Thank you for giving me this opportunity to live vicariously, if only for a few moments before I go to bed and return to normal life as a 30 year old husband and dad who's barely holding it together

I love him so much! Just a wee tip in future if you’re using wire as an armature, wrap a pipe cleaner around the wire before you put the wool around it. The fibres help the wool cling on a bit more and makes it lot easier for stuff like arms and tails that are thinner than the body 😊 hope to see more felt projects from you, honestly this was so hecking cute

Bet that Rachel becomes a stop motion animator when she's built enough little friends to stage LOTR. Or just to populate Hobbiton. His little hands and his wink at the end made me cry ✨💛✨

So excited for you to dive into Mossflower Wood and the world of the Redwall series! That series played a huge part in developing my love for reading and fantasy worlds. For a name then I'd have to say Martin the Warrior! P.S. if you want to continue creating tiny creatures like this for content (which I'm sure we'd all greatly enjoy!) the Redwall series is a veritable gold mine of inspiration.

Whoa Stuart little has grown into such a fine gentleman! So stinking adorable!!!

He has stepped straight out of Narnia, so cute. 🐭

My first instinct was "YOU MUST NAME HIM REEPACHEEP!" I'm so glad it's in the mix. He's SO cute! 🥰🐭

You should make an army of them and put them all over the house and studio so that people can Easter egg spot them. He's adorable 😍

_aggressively booping the lil snoUT_ I LOVE HIM

speaking of Mouse knights, I just want to inform more people of the existence of Mouse Guard, which is a long running comic book series with adorable mice knights in fantasy setting. I have not read it myself, but the art is adorable and there's also a TTRPG if you wanna fulfill your need to roleplay tiny mice.

i look at his little face.. and the name "Sir Cheesington" comes to me.. hes just so precious I love him

He's ADORABLE!! 🐀You should make a maiden!! 🐁You know, he's the knight in shining armor!! Love all your videos! Your sense of humor is awesome! 🐭🐀🐁

That's so stinking CUTE!!!!❤️❤️❤️ Definitely need to maoe him a lady friend....💖

Dear Rachel - every single one of your videos improves my mental health. You are my go to comfort KZfaqr. The past three years have been the worst of my life in so many ways. When I am feeling down or anxious, when my health won't let me do anything else, or when I just need something familiar playing in the background, I come back to your channel over and over again. I have lost track of how often I've watched some of your videos. Your openness and honesty about your own mental health helps me feel not so alone, and your sometimes chaotic creative processes help me feel encouraged when my own creative projects seem to go off the rails (almost always). Thank you for putting your whole self into your craft, and for letting us share the adventure with you. 💙💙💙

This is my very favorite type of Rachel content! The serotonin. The little friend. The armor. I was grinning for this whole video

He is so beautiful. Thank you for gracing us with his presence.

He's too cute....must...resist! Sir Mousealot would make me so happy if I had your talent to make me one.

Wait can he guard your little mouse house hole? That would be so cute 🥺🥺

“Reepicheep! Izzat you?!” ⚔️ My mini-friend is a very smol rabbit with a black jacket, tiny plaid kilt, and even tinier sporran. Mini Mouse’s sword has me thinking of tiny bagpipes . . .

I love that you now have a knight and a bard! If you feel like doing more needle felt, maybe you could make a wizard to balance the party

this is for my mental health too. what a gorgoeus little boy

Please tell me I am not the only one who booped the screen when she said to boop his nose?!?!?!?!We need more of this wholesome goodness in our lives!!!

He has a battle-hardened look about him. Truly a hero of the realm.

Ok, but why is Sir Thickums so dang cute?! Seriously, just fricking adorable!

An absolutely precious little princeling! I think your extra seretonin drifted over on a cloud to these shores 🥺

He's giving me a Bartholomew or Cornelius vibe, but could easily see him being some nature-y name like Barley, Thistle or Briar. Whatever he ends up being named he's the cutest thing I've ever seen and I would like 100

This reminds me of a book my mom read to me and my sister as a kid: The Tale of Despereaux. It's also a movie!

Why does the music playing when you're weathering his armor remind me so much of walking thru the Magic Kingdom, like right out of nowhere?

This lovely mouse warrior also reminds me of the Kate Dicamillo book, "The Tale of Despereaux" which I highly recommend. It's another young reader book that my kids loved when they were little. We actually listened to it on audio book on a road trip and it kept them engaged for the many hours in the car. Check it out if you haven't read it yet. the Redial series was also super popular with my kids, I hope you enjoy reading those!

Definitely giving me Redwall feels. Martin was my childhood hero. This is beautiful 🐭🥰

I think it's only fair to have a mini photoshoot with you in your armour and your tiny knight in his 🤣😍😩 soooo much wholesomeness !

You need to make him a damsel mouse right now so he has a mouse friend to go on adventures with!! A princess mouse omg

He's so cuuute! It need a little mousse with light armor and a bow, and a wizard with a tiny cute hat. Aaaaaaaaaaah

Immediately made me think of The Tale of Despereaux! So flipping adorable.

Rachel hiding from the contractors is the most introvertly relatable thing ever lol

Wonderful!! 🤩💯 So cute -- he is giving me MAJOR Redwall vibes ... ✨😇 ...Oh -- and his name could definitely be Sebastian! Or Godric. 🤔

I just LOVE, love, love him. Maybe he could be named " mouseferekin the brave ".

I'm literally crying with joy that you, as an adult, get to experience the Redwall series for the first time 😭 the later books aren't as good, but the first six are absolute top tier fantasy!

I like it when Rachel is happy when she makes things. The jokes and puns are hilarious. Plus Rachel's happiness is contagious and I can't stop smiling. My cheeks hurts from smiling through the entire video and I don't mind the slightest.🥰🥰

Your comment about needing to surround yourself with these felted creatures for some reason reminded me of Beavers. They will block up a whole river if they can hear trickling because they think they have a leak in their house, only it's more of a storage area for their food so they're actually going "Oh no my fridge!" And that is the sort of animal whimsicalness and real world problems I think we can all relate to

I loved the thicc froggy boi, but this wee swordsman is the cutest gosh darn mouse knight there ever was. You know I booped that teeny tiny snoot 😂

I am here for an entire series of Rachel making cute little furry knights, maidens, lords and ladies!! I love watching wool felt projects, it's so cute, and satisfying to see the fibers get mushed together.

I am so here for this being an ongoing series for a whole fellowship of felt figures ♥️ He is the cutest thing ever

Now you have a teensy weensy little mouse boy to protect you when you're in danger. Oh, what a precious boy!

10:50 Now having pet mice and rewatching today, I can attest that mice have natural little bingo wing arms, and it was perfectly fine for your boy to be a little chunky there.

Now she just needs to make him a whole collection of little friends.

Few things (all positive): 1. HE'S SO CUTE OMG (also love his wink at the end) 2. Please for the love of god make "selfish" things because they aren't selfish WE WANT TO SEE YOU MAKE THINGS THAT MAKE YOU HAPPY! You and your art is the treasure we love to see! 3. Your hair looks so incredibly cute in those minibraids! 4. the critter bit made me laugh so much, you looked so cute (overall you were hilarious this entire video) GREAT JOB

I would also die for him. He is SO FREAKING PRECIOUS 😭😭😭❤️

I came here for the serotonin from little mouse knight and ended up falling out of my bed laughing at * pubescent skeksis noises * bc holy shit

Redwall was basically my whole childhood because I read every one of those books (and friend, there are A LOT of them), so this is hitting me right in the feels! I was actually recently thinking about re-reading them since I basically haven't read any since like middle school, so this is my sign that now I must! Love this little guy, he turned out soooo cute.

Ahhh, love him!! You can get plain undyed needle felting wool called 'Core wool' that's used to bulk up the body, then save you fancier dyed wools for the top layers. Also I use black glass beads for eyes and just sew them on. The armour is SO awesome! ❤️🐭⚔️

Absolutely adorable... so glad you now have him in your life . May he guard your days and nights against all evil thoughts and dreams....

Dionysus, The God of Mental Health! It is PERFECT for him!❤❤❤

I love that, "Time to make some mouse armour" is a phrase that entered my life today.

Totally burst out laughing when Rachel was taken by surprise and exclaimed, “There’s the mother-f*€£#r!” Don’t think we’ve ever heard her say that before! 😂

Every knight needs a squire. Sir Fredrick is my cast for a name. Big hugs.

The amount of joy that booping that snoot through the screen just brought me was surprisingly high.

OH RACHEL! Since taking up needle felting myself, I found that foam clay is suuuuper helpful for bulking up the "skeleton" so that you don't end up doing the stabby stabby on the metal underneath.... Plus you can shape things however you'd like!!! (As well as saving a lot of wool, cause that shnizz is expensive af!) And the foam is so easy to do the thing on too! 😂😂 Y'know what I mean!!! I hope that helps!!

I'm so glad you're getting back into felting. The little frog was SO CUTE and I've been hoping you would make some more!

you need a photoshoot with him!! both decked out in armor I think a fitting name for him would be Arthur

Sir Archibald the brave! Frédéric the fearless! Aethelbert the adventurous! Something adorable and middle ages I think. 🐭

I didn't realise I needed a mental health mouse until now 🥰🐭 love this!

This entire episode was a masterpiece of cuteness. Like, I actually cried tears multiple times because he's so cute. I absolutely participated in booping the snoot. This is absolutely my favourite thing you have ever, ever done. What a gift. Thank you.

Its precious perfection. My love of tiny adorable rodents is not immortalized in crafts. I love him. I want to make some myself.

Yep. That Phil Collins and all his audacity, it did indeed slay me cause truer words have never been uttered in this realm.

Rachel leaning out of the the contractor’s view and singing “Don’t look at me~“ is an entire mood I swear

I don't have words for how cute this brave little knight is.

OMG! This is SO Adorable! Thanks for putting a smile on this mousey-mouse face today. 🐭

The fallen candle gave me a fright. :O The mouse knight looks freaking amazing.

I love this so much wtf- this aesthetic is like forest witch and her wife making carrot soup and dressing mice and deer in little costumes

I think that you should sell prints of some of the lovely little drawings from your sketch book. They are charming! Also, “I’ve pulled out some really stellar ones lately, and I’ve only gotten frustrated sighs” : That’s what she said!

PLEASE make a whole adventuring party, i will cry tears of joy

Almost fully died from cuteness overload......... then he winked at me 😭❤

This was equally good for my mental health to watch this adorable transformation

It's Martin the Warrior!! Rachel, I am surprised you hadn't heard about the Redwall series, being the fantasy nerd that you are! You are going to absolutely ADORE it! It was my favorite series growing up and those books inspired literally my whole life - from my art to my own writing. Please, please, please tell us when you've started reading them (there's like 20+ books); would love to hear what you think!

If you want more stories about brave little mouse knights, you should check out "The Tale of Despereaux" That book is so adorable and it's basically my childhood ❤

If you would like a video game in the same genre as Moss, I would highly recommend Ghost of a Tale, where you play an absolutely ADORABLE mouse named Tilo. Also works as a name suggestion
