Rosie you are like a magical forest dwelling elf. Building, cooking, sewing. Ethereal and magical. Stories will be told about you 💖

I was once told that you can’t eat an elephant all at once. (Just a saying, I love elephants). He told me I could eat an elephant a bit at a time. I really needed to hear that when I was overwhelmed with grief from a dying parent and overloaded with the responsibility’s of preparing the estate. It really stuck with me and I DID get through it. Just takes time and diligence

Rosie, don't be overwhelmed by everything that needs doing. With so many projects, you can pick and choose which ones to do and in which order, such as that annoying door! Taking time to sew is so enjoyable, almost a reprieve from carpentry work and something you do just for yourself, and you so deserve to spoil yourself, a nice balance of time. Life can be so disappointing, such as the bike incident, however, walks in the woods and lunch on a blanket surrounded by nature is a wonderful way to compensate. Thanks again for sharing your life with us! So many of us wish we had taken the road less traveled as you have. You are beautiful inside and out, here's a warm hug of encouragement! Please post again soon!

'Okay, i'm going to eat pastries now' - the correct solution to everything! Great video, thanks Rosie! Edit: Love that old putty-white colour for the windows/door.

Handmade is Imperfect. You will be the only person who knows where the imperfections are. The rest of us just marvel at your skills!

The filmmaking is reaching new heights now. The camera work on close and medium shots is slicker, the end was especially strong, pulling the emotion together. Love the enriching tone of how bringing simplicity and beauty together strikes such a plaintiff chord, and because its so personal, it has much more of an impact, telling its oddly detailed story. You leave out so much, to really good effect.

One step at a time. Less to think about less stress. It will be done eventually. Look what you have accomplished already.

Nothing handmade looks perfect, that’s its charm 😊

Rosie deserves an Oscar for this channel 🤩

I love the fabric in the cupboard door. It is going to look stunning when completed.

So pleased I'm not the only one feeling overwhelmed with renovation and maintenance. It's hard work and time consuming. your doing a wonderful job. Don't loose the sparkle for your dream 🥰

"I'm also wearing socks and sandals." MADE MY DAY.

She paints, she builds, she sews, she plants, she cooks. You Rosie amaze me with your mad skills. Always believe you can do it, because every week you show us you can.

Love Sunday mornings when you upload. Sat in bed with a cup of coffee marvelling at your skills and endless determination to complete all your tasks.

Do you know how incredible you are? Thank you for sharing your struggles and achievements in such an honest and open way. It's good to know there are people like you in the world, you help to make it a better place X

Nothing gives me more joy then seeing women take on building projects with amazing skill like you. You are learning as you go. Even if it’s scary at first you get better w the more you do. I’m just always impressed and proud of you.

You’re hilarious in a very subtle way, the way you look at us through the camera draws us in totally I don’t know what your window of good weather is but you certainly have enough outdoor projects to fill it, maybe your parents will come visit and help again? Rosie to say that you are one in a million would really be an understatement and I’m thrilled I came upon your channel. I’m always sad when your videos end because they fill me with awe and hope. Thank you for letting us in. 🥰🙏🏻

Quite understand how you feel. At 65, a single woman, for many, many years, I am always overwhelmed in Spring, the weeks of new beginnings. With new determination we start out with lots of projects to do, ones that were left from last year and the new ideas we have for this year. Don't stress, you cannot do the work of of two and taking on something new is always an experiment - growing vegetables included.

What a video, everything is there; shopping for wood, carpentry, cooking, sewing, painting, sowing seeds, modelling, nature with relaxing music; and so well edited!!

So I sit down with a cup of tea, looking forward to a relaxing video of Rosie renovating her front room... Congratulations Rosie, not even 45 seconds in and you managed to get my anxiety sky high. My to do list isn't even half as long and now I feel like I'm wasting my time...

Rosie you are a woman with many talents. Thank you for allowing us to see your beautiful builds, your cooking, baking, sewing, gardening and painting. I so enjoy watching your creative endeavors.

Don’t be so hard on yourself! You are doing an amazing job! I think many of us feel overwhelmed at this time of year because we have spent the winter thinking about projects we want to do. I know I sure do! Just take things one step at a time.

Rosie, your door hardware/hinges ... they are adjustable on three planes (x, y, z).... so you can get closer to your filler board, you can raise them, lower them, and get them further/closer away from the frame just by adjusting the corresponding screws without having to "redo" everything. Hope the helps.

Ask anyone who has had a house professionally built. Some things turn out less than perfect. And that's okay. When you painted the front door from blue to white, wow, it made the entrance look twice as spacious! That space can turn out quite lovely with a little love. To end, your skirt and top are just precious! They look quite at home in your magical forest. Again, how blessed you are. And we are blessed that you share it all with us!💓

Rosie. As I always say to my beautiful child who often gets overwhelmed, just do what you can and what matters the most to you first. You have the rest of your life to live in your beautiful house and while I understand the jobs are important to you, you will burn out and be no use. Maybe sit for an hour with your list and prioritise what will make you happy to complete first. Sending strength and happiness to you.❤

Love the wardrobe door. From the cuts in the wood (never thought of using a drill to get that middle bit out) the use of the fabric in the middle. Exceptional Rosie. Love your visions becoming realities

Someone probably has already mentioned coffee grounds and cinnamon as good natural repellents for the ants. To ensure that they don't come back to your doorsteps you could plant lavender beside the steps, it helps to keep the ants away in the future too (and it smells so nice! you could dry the flowers after summer and put them in your new wardrobe to keep it bug free and fresh too)😊 This whole video was so beautiful, the editing, the music, just everything. Thank you for the small movie to enjoy while slurping my sunday afternoon coffee 🥰

Hi Rosie, great to see you never run out of DIY Projects. Every time I watch an update from you, I keep seeing a cat roaming with you, hmm...... They are amazing companions and teachable. Our kittens grew and responded to the same commands as our dog, loved long strolls through the forest, brought the odd mouse to the back door with great pride.

One of my dad's many saying seems appropriate here: "you can do ANYthing, you just can't do EVERYthing." One step at a time... Breathe, appreciate, repeat. Blessings, Rosie.

😼yikes I'm only 44 seconds into the video and I'm already feeling overwhelmed at the thought of all you have to do, it reminds me of my own life ...and I am also wearing socks and Birkenstocks :) One thing I love about your videos is that you never paint yourself as a super hero, yet so much of what you do is INCREDIBLE !! its unique, its visually beautiful and so quirky too ~ Thank you. I'm always thrilled to see a new video pop up in my feed !!

I am a little late at saying this but, I don't care what google says, you are still a young lady. I'm 71. You continue to amaze me with your determination. God bless.

I was telling my husband how much I look forward to your videos. Your plans are well thought out, the texture of your fabric on the doors elevate all your wood work. The corner clamps are on my tool list now, I hope they sponsor future videos as their sales go up. You’re one of my favorites! Well done!

The combination of wood and fabric is genius!

Being imperfect just shows it’s hand made .

These videos are so wonderful in all ways. They calm me, they inspire me, sometimes they awe me with the beautiful drone footage. I really love them. Thanks for making them!

Chip...Chip...Chip away at the stone, Rosie. Don't overburden your mind, dear. Every project is an opportunity to keep the mind occupied. What is life without labor but a sedentary stalemate between the world and our function within it; keeping in mind that failure is a lack of functionality. The mountain isn't the goal, but rather the ascension is what keeps the mind, body and heart focused on purpose. You're a rockstar. I've been away, but now I'm back and ready to enjoy your journey again. 😊😊😊 P.S. TortillasAreNotBiceps former aka.

From somewhere in the wilds of Sweden we get, every other week or so, a delightful vlog. Thank-you Roaming Wild Rosie.

Love the fabric insets on the doors. Another texture among all of the wood is lovely. Nice job!

Hi Rosie! You uploading is just what i needed to calm my mind down a lil bit. Love your videos ❤

Work within the seasons. Planting, exterior projects, firewood, indoor things when it rains❤️ You are so smart!!

"Yard by yard life is hard. Inch by inch it's a cinch." I am always overwhelmed in the spring but I just start knocking off small tasks.

I honestly think you're amazing AND inspirational. Anytime my ADHD takes over and makes me freeze up and feel like I can't do my art, I watch your videos and see you building your own dang house, your way, and I'm inspired again. So thank you, you awesome unicorn of a human being.

Gardening is seasonal and time is short. Plant first!

You’re special person with the special talent & life, which I love it & admire you ❤

Always good to see you Rosie. Love your new outfit and the new cabinet door. I’m so thankful I found your channel last year. God bless you and see you next time!❤️

Your patience and attention to detail is extremely admirable! I love watching you create this lovely little cabin. Thank you for sharing this with us! 💖

It’s amazing how your carpentry skills are getting better and better! Amazing! You should be so proud of yourself!

When im overwhelmed i make a list and start with the easiest and fastest things first to get inspiration to do the harder things

Wardrobe doors are going to look fabulous. Looking great so far. Everything will come together in the end. Give yourself a break 😊.

Hi Rosie, I know exactly what you mean by being overwhelmed. The to-do list is Neverending. However, first things first. When the weather is nice, tackle the little things outside first. That way, you get them all out of the way asap. Then you can tackle the next little things and so on for as long as the weather is nice. The inside projects leave them for when the weather is not good so you can work inside. For the inside projects, they have to deal with wood. On a good beautiful day, cut all the wood with the measurements you need and put them inside the house where you will be working later on. It will help you greatly if you number them, put a painters tape and write over it what it's for. The way when the weather is cold, it rains you to have everything cut ready to assemble. Hope it helps.

I see that you actually do read the comments. That is good. I am from the United States and a home gardener. I understand your frustration with gardening, as it can be a hit or miss thing. I want you to find a friend who is a farmer or gardener locally. There is a lot you can learn from them, such as how to create a deer proof and rabbit proof fence and what grows well in your area and how to grow it. It is important if you want to learn to be more self sufficient. I also suggest you keep a journal of your garden-what you plant, when, and the progress over time. It can be a valuable learning tool. Have a great summer! 🌞

Hej hej Rosie, we feel you - it is also overwhelming to renovate our tiny 200-year-old homestead in central Sweden. In addition, it’s not possible to always be there (Germany/Switzerland) and we also shoot short films parallel to the carpenters work and gardening. Compliments on the discipline how you stick to your work in order to make progress little by little. Being totally off-grid we only use battery-powered tools with a minimal solar system. Only necessary renovations like windows can be done otherwise we try to leave the house as it is. You're also much more skilled at craftsmanship and design. There’s still a lot to learn, so watching KZfaq vids is a must. Your sewing projects are a reminder that I want to make clothes with the little Bernina for a long time. So far it’s only curtains for the house. Carry on, girl! Ulla

I'm liking the evolution of the wardrobe. If you are not happy with the look of the staples and raw edges on the inside, you could run grosgrain ribbon around on that edge, like fancy upholsterers do, glued in place.

You’ve created a fairy tale, a mythological, enigmatic series here, all the better because you are really making it all happen.

Cute dress Rosie❤️…. sox and sandals warmer feet!.. You seem so happy, so content. The Artist, constantly at work. You’re amazing! Thank you for being awake at 4a.m. so special. Careful with those hands🙏🏾

I find watching you is a calm to my whole being. Love your skirt and top. The fabric doors. I will be watching more.

I love your creativity, especially with designing and sewing clothes. I enjoy watching you glide through the forest in your pretty outfits.🌲

Your videos are so peaceful. It really imparts a small sense of what it must be like living in such a wonderful place. Take care and can't wait to see all the beautiful things that will be.

Hi Rosie! You inspired many people. Such a fragile, tenacious, determinates girl and how far she got eith on own streng! understandable That you are tired. Up and down is a cirvle. Maybe it is time to fill you up before you start climb an another hill… We are with you. We’ll send the energy to You that you can reach your goals! Hugs frim Hungary! Annamaria

Loved the intro, Rosie, and your humor! Such precision on both the wardrobe door and the skirt and top, it all turned out so well. The fabric in the door is beautiful and will add a nice softness to all the wood. It's all coming along and you will get it all done.... in time.

I love your videos, they show how much power a person has within themselves, even living alone, even without many comforts - you can be thriving, accomplished and happy

the top and skirt is lovely. sand the door primer lightly and put a 2nd coat of primer on the door will look much nicer

I get so excited when you take out a sewing project! Really like that skirt!

Just amazed how multi-talented you are! Congrats and really an Oscar to you for this channel, cant stop wathing! Love all you do, especially excited about the wardrobe coming.

Dear Rosie I again tell you that I admire your guts & abiliy to do difficult designs and how you use that Japanese saw and with limited tools achieve master pieces. I send you endurance and power to overcome the unnessasary things happening like that bl...dy lorrie driver. Living on my own and being full time in a wheelchair make me appreciate the mental stength you have. GOOD ON YOU and I enjoy watching your video's. 👍

Those wardrobe doors are beautiful, your work is so intricate 🙌 you got a lot done and it’s good to change things up a bit, different projects for the day ❤

Just as I thought: 'Please don't get injured while working with the Japanese saw!', you put on the glove and commented my thoughts - that was quite adorable! As always a great pleasure experiencing your work-in-progress, thank you!

Ofc everything is overwhelming when you look at it all at once. There are many ways to help yourself to feel less overwhelmed, be it taking it day by day. Project by project or go full sit down and write down all project you can think of and prioritize what to do and maybe even go so far as to plan when to do what etc. Whichever way you go, looking at it all at once will always be very overwhelming, especially with a project home like yours. You can do it❤

You will figure away. I think the sewing can be your escape. One thing at a time. You will get there and we will be watching amazed at your talents. Today it’s Mother’s Day and I said to my family. Make me a bit of breakfast so I can watch Rosie and then you can decide how to spoil me.

Every moment is precious and unique. No rush to do everything all at once. Just enjoy the rhythm of time and follow its flow. Good luck and God bless.❤

You can fill the lock hole in your back door with a dowel rod or tree branch and some water proof glue. Sand the surface flush and paint. You'll never know it was there.

Just look back what you did acomplish so far. You are doing an excellent job in your own pace and that house is stunning❤

you are a fabulous film maker, carpenter, sewer, cooking, planter. keep going Happily

Haha that intro showing all of the things you want to do was so Wes Anderson!

Rosie your videos are so relaxing for me. You are an amazing woman. Thank you for sharing. ❤

You constant attention to detail is something to be admired. I never doubt that what to make, whether it be with wood or fabric will be perfect. I see you have a friendly deer, he’s probably wondering when your garden is being planted.

Thanks for your videos. You make some very inspiring films ☺️👍

Excellent Rosie! Glad to see the clamps holding down the wood and the hand protection! Lovely Idea for the design of the closet doors! 😊

To tension the fabric on the frame, start at the centre of one side, then the opposite centre, the the other pair of sides and work out from there … always tensioning opposite sides as you go if that makes sense. When prioritising, mostly the construction projects can be done any weather but the gardening, where you have such a short season, needs to be sorted early. Ideally beds should be prepared 6-8 weeks in advance which is difficult when just yourself. Perhaps next fall when you harvest last crops build up mulch on the beds then so as soon as it warms up it will break down improving the soil. Dark mulches capture more heat warming the soil enabling crops to get going sooner in the spring. Also, you might be safer lining up your loads in line with the trailer and bike. Loading asymmetrically you’re more likely to come a cropper with passing trucks

The fabric selection and craftsmanship for your wardrobe was brilliant. The positioning of the cut edges is so very neat and tidy. The skirt and scalloped matching top are adorable in their simplicity and fabric. Thanks for modeling them for us.

Rosie I love watching your videos since they often help me feel calmer. Watching you build your house (literally)piece by piece feels so refreshing and I love the aesthetics😊

I love how you bring beauty,texture and richness to your vlogs Thankyou ❤

Well you don’t have to be in any hurry. It’s your place! You can take all the time on the world. It looks great by-the-way.

lovely outfit. It’s so you. Investing in good paint is wise especially for any exterior. It might be a little pricey up front but in the long run it will pay off with less maintenance. Can’t wait to see all of your projects this coming season. Good Luck❤😊

She is living the essence of life. No stress about useless things. Just life in its purest form. I strive to have this one day.

Amazing the difference one can make with a little hard work and a can of paint. Your outfit turned out sweet and your wardrobe door too! ❤

One of my favorite episodes yet! All 3 things you are so good at! Woodworking, sewing, and making tasty looking nibbles. The hike at the end looked like it was magical, especially in your beautiful new outfit. I am blown away by your talent!

as for the gap - try regulating hinges, they can move the door on the axis :)

I really look forward to your videos & realize what special talents & drive you have! When I get too rushed with things I remember my grandmother saying " the hurrier you go..the behinder you get!" So true! The results with your work & style are really welcome & cute (of course)! Love your natural look, skill & can do personality!

Aww Rosie 😊 I love the doors! And the ending of you sat under the tree is picture perfect! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

One step at a time. One task at a time, or maybe an outdoor task weather permitting and an indoor task on rainy days. Rosie you will reach your goal, and you seem to have the patience.💚

I love your dress, well done, don’t worry, you will get things done, one at a time and relax 🇬🇧🥰

" Prioritize and life will be easier ! " they said. And i agree ! but it is not simple at all to know what is the most important. I guess at the end of the day, we just do our best and don't forget to add a pinch or two of fun ! Anyway, enjoy your projects ! And thanks for sharing. 🌻

you grew to be my fav channel. growing gently in all aspects. also your video skill are getting unique to you and so good. all the best

Love your new outfit, very cute with the button placement and scolopes. The house is coming out very nicely, can't wait to see the finished results. ❤

I love your content and thank you for introducing me to the Japanese saw!

I honestly can't wait to see your videos. Such a great experiance each time!

Very lovely skirt and blouse you made. Everything is coming along with your little homestead.

Anything you lay your hands on turns out perfect. Just believe in yourself....God gave you so many talents❤

My Good Morning to you, Rosie. From the State of Ohio, in the U.S.A. I envy your tranquil surroundings.
