What l love about this, we all have a dream about living alone in a remote place, but you really gave to be the type of person to do what you do. I really have recognised that l need a different dream, but enjoying your journey, from the comfort of my warm flat ❤
A person that does not like dogs or cats can't be a nice person. Now I see why you have to live alone in a forest and the only people visiting you are your parents
I call you young lady because you are young. I'm 73 years old. I am renovating a house that is 120 years old. I am doing all the work myself, like you. I think you are an amazing young woman and very inspiring. Also, like you, I am not a social person. I never get lonesome. I have been called a hermit and a loner and a free spirit. I just feel like me. You inspire me because you live your life for yourself. Keep doing whatever you want to do. I also understand you not wanting a patreon account. I don't want anyone paying my way. I don't give anyone the right to feel like they are entitled to have a say in my life! I enjoy your channel and you have taught me several things. Thank you for that. I live in Texas, USA. I know our situations are quite different, but I feel a kinship with you.
I'm a 68year old woman and I am just recently retired and plan on renovating my Mobile home(tiny home)never lonely...covid(shutdown) as not an issue! Hermit too he he!
Yes, age is relative. I am 68 and am remodeling my eighth house with my husband, things just take me longer than my first house. I think of Rosie as young and an eighty year old lady in my crochet group calls me young.
Yes, I also am not a social being, prefer my alone time without interference from someone else telling me how I should be, what I should do. I am 65 and recently purchased the old, falling down, much needing love and care home I've been renting for the past 9yrs...Little by little I will renew what has been ignored for decades. It's gets harder as you get older, you're not as strong or as fast but at the same time it gives you confirmation that you can do anything you put your mind to and age is just a number.
I could happily live for months without seeing another soul. Socialising is over rated. You're the poster girl for the 'how hard could it be' movement - love it!! :)
Yes. Thank you for the drone how to. Demystifies it for me. Fun and easy for me to see it here and not have to look it up or read about it, which would drive me bonkers. I feel more capable now. Thanks.
I am amazed at how a graceful, gentle, soft-spoken lady like you can cut wood, make furniture pieces, lift heavy things let alone live and do these renovations by herself in a house far from neighbors. You inspire.
It is indeed inspiring! I guess that lack of money and other obstacles can be stimulating in some way... Anyway it is what I experienced...(PS...you are not lazy!)...
Some woman enjoy DIY others just get on with jobs needed to be done . some like to leave all that to men and don't consider it work for a woman . I am proud to be able to do pretty much all DIY jobs and not have to depend on waiting for a mans help or call siblings or a father figure .Happy new year to you all :)
I know it may seem menial, but I appreciate that you number each of your videos. Due to my schedule, I might go many weeks between watching and it is so easy to jot down the number I stopped at and then pick-up easily. :) When typing this, I realized that this video and the next accidentally don't have the number in the title.
Rosie, I think you have a lot of introverts watching your channel. I am a ISTJ and have learned more about myself in the last 10 years than ever before. I am in my mid sixties and now can live my most comfortable life in retirement. I love your lifestyle and as a single woman living in far north Washington state, I find that nature and traveling sooths my soul. You are amazing and so funny! The way you put 'cute' on everything after acknowledging the comment was priceless. Keep true to yourself. It is worth the mental peace.
OUTDOOR SHOWER!!!! hot as you want, no mold. no flood. love it! keep on keeping on Rosie! your videos have fantastic production value. another skill to add to the growing list!
Love this. I would add one thing: Some of us ask you about things(again and again) because we are looking into traveling this same path and every time we ask online we are inundated with conflicting advice. You're living it, so your opinion is highly valued(because we know how much thought and research you put into your decisions). I don't know if anyone has said it or not, but you are a shining example to a lot of us. Keep living the dream and thank you for allowing us to tag along!!
Another INTP here and I totally agree with you about extroverts coming up with the rules about what is 'healthy'. As usual with your videos, your humour made me laugh out loud, but it also made think about some of my beliefs in a new way. Many thanks and a Happy New Year.
I agree. Although I'm about 60% extrovert, but in combination with being a highly sensitive person. So basically I love being social, but need lots of alone-time too. People tend to mistake alone for lonely.
Sorry it was me who mentioned the stove fans 3x. I guess I thought you did not read all your messages. There must be hundreds. And I do apologize. You are a ver intelligent woman. Oh! And your place, your creation, is cute! Blessings. I really enjoy watching you create
I'm an ol' grandma watching and must say that your 'simplicity and freedom and peace' are what attracted me to your vids. I pray you just remain who you are because it is a most wonderfilled thing when a person can 'accept' their limitations and their gifts and simply 'be'. This is one of life's hardest challenges...to be yourself and not 'allow fears and pressure' to warp you into someone that is not you. WELL DONE! You are a rich 'young' woman and I thank you for sharing with us. Health and Blessings! :)
You forgot to add WISE to "old grandma!" 😮 Your words are what I needed to know decades ago but only figured out once I lost the ability to walk. Grateful for my memories and hope everyone steps into who they truly are. Blessings to you. 🙏🕊️
Ariel and Rosie. Great idea. Ariel in a corner reading ++ and Rosie quietly sitting with a cuppa and pondering new ways of doing something or other….finding pleasure in the little things that feed their souls. 🎉 For those who don’t know her, Ariel is a Canadian woman who moved to Nova Scotia to renovate an old house and make it into a truly bright snd cheerful, and eclectic Ariel home. She has a UA-cam channel too but also has a podcast about all the books she reads. 2 very interesting, accomplished and unique women
Yes! Finally someone on YT who gets how sh*t Amazon is. Thank you! Your parents sound amazing - very similar to how I was raised :-) Although my dad did ask me once: "Why don't you study economics instead?" When I answered "Well, why didn't you?" he just laughed and said "Your right, study whatever you want!" :-D Have a lovely day!
Happy new year, Rosie. I don’t watch Q& As because I, a ) find them intrusive and b) boring, but today I found your one entertaining. Especially the question that asked it you felt annoyed with the repeat suggestions/advice/questions. That was worthy of a laugh out loud moment. So did the Google comment 🤣. Occasionally I scroll through the comments and I feel annoyed for you. Thanks for another great video, see ya in the nest one. Cripes, Google will say I’m decrepit 😂.
@@carrieschwenk5890 Actually it's really not a secret, I just thought it was funny. I've done some interviews you can find in which I've mentioned my age :)
Your bit about extroverts deciding we are social creatures and introverts being too tired to say no.... I felt that all the way to my core! Also thanks for mentioning your video editor program, I've been making little phone videos for my friends and family of our house remodel (which is nowhere near as cool as yours) and hadn't been editing yet but a couple times have wanted to. Thanks for sharing your journey with us!
I'm a 32 plus year union carpenter from the exhibit business in the U S A...East coast...just want say you did an extraordinarily great job for doing it ascon the job training!!!! Get yourself a right angle cordless drill though...it'll make job easier for you in those tight places
Love the William Morris style fabric on your banquette pillows. Also love your camera/editing work, your content, and the pace of your videos. Also love that you follow your bliss. Keeping it real😊 That’s what makes me keep coming back😊 oh, and love the drone shots! Stay cute, Rosie!!🥰
Your Q and A was quite interesting. I can understand about making something you consider ugly. As a weaver I have made things I've thought were ugly and then someone else exclaimed, "It's so cute!" 😁 And bought it. Cracks me up. Age. You are so funny about Mr. Google telling you what is young and what is not. Thank you for showing how the drone works and pointing out how much time is involved in filming and editing - it is easy to not understand how much work goes into your beautiful videos.
Oh, Wild Rosie, so cute!!! I am very,very not young and I hope you will always be as authentic and adventurous as you are now. Many channels I have abandoned in the past because the vloggers end up telling me how hard they are working to provide 'content' for me and push their coffee buying, club joining and patreon relentlessly. Stay real.
As sweet as you are and as new as I am to your channel, I have to say I REALLY LOVE your pushback on the redundant suggestions you get! You're amazing!❤
@@MAC-op5fcPeople are know it alls it s pretty annoying when you re an independent person, it s not helpfull it s making you small ... I personally hate it
I have just discovered your channel and have been binge watching! So, I am watching this video which you posted 3 months ago, so I don't know if you will see my comment. I love seeing you travel by bike and with a trailer carrying all you goods (groceries, wood!). My initial attraction to your content was seeing a woman doing the renovations. I also am a woman and you are inspiring me to "give it a try". Why not? What is there to lose? I walked the Camino in Spain as a pilgrimage and I came home with a lifetime mantra: You can do anything if you give yourself enough time and grace. Bravo for your efforts and showing us a slice of your life. Best wishes from Michigan, USA
Karen Janeway: "Are you an alien being of some kind? Is that it? You're an alien. You've created, edited and shared all these awesome vids, haven't you?" Incredible and admirable Rosie: "This is what my species does."
Rosie you have me completely bewitched with who you are. You're so strong, yet feminine. So capable, yet humble and growth oriented. I have so much admiration for you and what you're doing.
I’m an extrovert who also likes being alone. There are such people. Being an extrovert, though, has always made it easy for me to try new places, things and activities.
Gosh, extroverts can be so exausting in their ignorance about people who are not like themselves! Do they totally lack imagination?! I would never want to change myself into that kind of person, I'm totally happy about the way I am. I love everything about your videos!
Rosie, I love that you are being true to yourself. We live in a world where so many people fall into the trap of “keeping up with the Jones’s”. Once one realises that we only have one life & if people don’t like who we are or what we have. It’s there problem not yours. I think it’s called having inner peace and knowing you’re content with yourself. Your project is top knotch despite you renovating on a budget. It certainly doesn’t look like that and your attention to detail is amazing. You’re a breath of fresh air both you and your renovation. Thank you..
Hi Rosie, I am grateful for your videos. I simply love them. They are very balanced, you are inspiring, they are peaceful and soothing, interesting, motivational and thought provoking, truthful, simple visually yet they are profoundly healing and of goodness and a very intelligent mind working very hard to open peoples minds to challenging what you can achieve actually on your own. Your a modern day trailblazer in my estimation and its cheesy to admit - YOU ARE " A TOP G"!
And it was so interesting to see how much work there is behind that calm looking episode. Of course I knew there is work, but so good that Rosie doesn't try to do it too often anymore. Now I am even more impressed every time I'll watch a new episode.
I wanted to let you know how much I admire HOW you are living and doing your projects at your own pace instead of the pace that others think things should be done. It's refreshing in this "crazy" fast pace world. Thanks for sharing your experience.
this chick is hilarious. I would laugh my ass off in her presence just listening to her calm, demeanor chat. she absolutely cannot lie. its perfection.
Loved your Q&A.. You have said many times that you are not doing this on a massive bank roll and that you get things has you can afford them. If people are so interested in getting a stove fan, car, wheelbarrow - they should send you some. You did answer one thing for me - you are a design architect - wondered how you made such detailed drawings of your designs. I am quite amazed at your resilience, fortitude and accomplishments.
INTJ watercolour artist here. My people limit is about 2 hours, then plz everyone, go home 😅. Your little home is progressing so nicely! I truly enjoy your videos.... thnx Rosie!
Ah, I love how you replied to these questions (I mean, comments, really...) and the many serious looks at the camera. Also love how you reframed people's fears. From one "old" woman that looks 10 years younger to another... you're awesome, Rosie!
Rosie is just a natural presenter.I really appreciate her Honesty,simplicity, perspectives on life and scenarios. What is more she is well educated and read and a free spirit. How many of us possess those qualities? This channel deserves so many more subscribers it is way better than many other pretenders to the Off Grid UA-cam Vlogs.I wholeheartedly appreciate her integrity regarding Patreon/Amazon etc. Then there is her wonderfully dry and well delivered sense of humour. All this recognised by a 67 year old who apparently isn'tconsidered old according to Google unitill I am 76!!!!
As hard as you work, if you do make a new shower facility, I think you should make part of the construction a sauna. The luxury of having a sauna after a long days work mid-winter. Firing up the sauna to soak up the heat before you shower, then step into the residually warm dressing area you have designed, it would be warm from the adjacent saunas heat. Those first few winters had to be so cold, I imagine sliding into bed still warmed from the sauna would cut that shiver time down waiting for your own body to heat the cold bedding.
Hi Rosie! Happy New Year! Yes, your home is very cute, as it should be. I think you will still have plenty of magic in your videos to keep us here. Thank you for sharing your life with us.😊
I have suspected for a while that you are a braver version of me, and I am now fully convinced of it. I still dream of living on a small piece of land in the woods, but that is probably not going to happen since I want to stay near my parents. Thanks for letting me live vicariously through you!
Rosie, the fact that you mentioned the Enneagram tells me a lot more about you, which I can so easily relate to. Most of the questions from viewers seem more about their projections. Huge respect from a fellow 👽 living a very similar forest lifestyle…and loving it! 🇯🇵 🏔️ ❄️ ♥️
Haha honestly the "I'm not an alien" segment is the best. I sympathize so much. For what it's worth I absolutely love the fact that you don't have a car and just make it work. You're my inspiration whenever I feel overwhelmed with a project or task. If Rosie can build herself cute things in the Swedish forest... Then so can I!
I understand about not needing lots of people around. Sometimes I think I will fall into bits if I am told I "need" to be "in community" on a daily basis. I absolutely l i k e being alone.
Happy new year Rosie 🎉 A lot of questions... I guess people are curious. I'd just like to say that what you achieve, all be it within your stated limitations, inspires many. An independent woman. You are indeed a lady but a strong and resourceful one. If you fitted any standard mould you wouldn't be the amazing person you are. Stay you. Blessings for a super 2024. 🙏
Looking forward to the upcoming year of your videos! In regard to people making suggestions I truly believe for the most part that people are good and just want to be helpful (of course some may think their opinion is the best and be conceited about it) but when viewers watch their favourite UA-cam creators we in a sense invite those creators into our own homes so in a way it's easy to get invested or actually feel concern or feelings of friendship for creators we continually bring into our 'home'.
I did see one clip where it was mentioned how cold it was in the other rooms and that is when people started to say get the stove fans. I saw this as them being helpful. I do wonder why not mention a thanks for the suggestions and you will get them but not right now, that will stop the suggestions as they have been acknowledged
I'm all about CUTE also, I live in the Georgia mtns in the USA. I'm in my 70s and work on my 3 acres everyday. Your videos are very inspirational , thank you!!!❤
I loved your Q& A mostly because of your sense of humour and candor. I rarely comment on UA-cam, but gosh, girl, you're a treasure and you made my day. Thank you.
Great drone demo, thanks. I can relate to what you are doing, somewhat. I have been renovating my house that was damaged in a fire over 10 years age, since I didn't have enough fire insurance, I've been paying as I go. I made a small apartment in the garage so I guess, I've been renovating 2 places. For me learning as I go is normal, my friends think it's "amazing", for me I'm just doing what anyone in my position would do, and I'm enjoying the process.
It‘s so refreshing having a completely authentic person on UA-cam, not trying to please everyone but just doing her thing. That‘s why l enjoy watching your videos so much. Thanks for sharing your experience and being honest. 👍🏻
Thank you for this video. You have given me much food for thought, especially regarding how small actions/ quiet comments can hold so many assumptions and impact others so deeply. Also, your " try it and see, but with a plan" ethic has inspired me to do some small things around the house. Again, thank you!
You are absolutely brilliant. I cannot believe I only just found you on your channel!! Rosie you have style, determination and integrity and I still can’t believe you don’t beg for money like most on UA-cam. That is my personal ‘ick factor’!! Good job mum and dad on raising such a capable, clever and determined‘young’ woman. Yay for you. I am loving your adventures .
I don't think you have to explain yourself to anyone. Just be you doing you. People have a choice to follow or not. There is a difference between being lonely and being alone. New Year blessings to you Rosie. I enjoy your channel very much.
Happy New Year Rosie from a young 76 years ! Like the way you live and you know what you want! I knew you were a 5 ! I am a 7! Keep going, you're on a good way. Slowly but surely! Have a great week! Louise from Québec xxx😁
As for Google on the topic of age, this is one time that I would ignore what it says. I am 76 so I would be defined as old but you are definitely not. I feel bad that you get so many silly and personal questions that people really should not even ask. I just watch your videos for the pure enjoyment of how you live and what you chose to do. I would never think of telling you what you need to or what you need to buy or own. I am also an introvert and don’t need to be around people that much. When I do need to do that, I only want a small number of people, no crowds. To each his own!! Life is too short to focus on what other people think. There are too many people out there without one ounce of common sense. I hope that you will continue to do you Rosie! I love watching your videos no matter what you are doing or not doing! Hugs……………………..
Ok I must have missed the fact that you are a professional designer watching on and off for a year. I was pretty amazed as an Architect that your eye for design elements and design structure was more than just luck. I have to say the place looks awesome. Your design is limited to your carpentry skills now but your thought process around cabinet design and layout is awesome. I am really enjoying this series. Cheers from Boston. This was so entertaining I laughed so much. However, the idea of the car is freedom to explore new places, quicky without much thought on a whim, with no plan. Totally spontaneously. I think you would enjoy that even as an introvert. A little old 60s or 70s mini copper?
I heard you say you were going to get the fans! I personally think you are an absolutely amazing “young” woman! Your skills and talents are just so impressive and your confidence is beyond belief! I am a 79 year old old lady! I love watching your show! When I was young because of the environment that I was brought in and my parents did it because they love me, but I had some issues so I actually had to listen to a subliminal tape on self-confidence in order to become self-confident. But it worked so I set out on a path in my late 20s to use that confidence to become the woman I wanted to be. I am an introvert who loves being alone. I can work on things I love and don’t care what others think. I love watching you tackle new projects and I love you sharing your thought process with us. You are a wonderful example of what we can all accomplish if we set our minds to it. For those asking you how to change their lives one of the techniques I used frequently when I was younger was at night as I was falling asleep I visualize and felt the feeling of what it would be like living the life I wanted to live. What an adventure that was. Miraculous events occurred that opened doors for the next step and it seemed easy to move in that direction. All came about quickly and I moved to the next life I had envisioned. I have had a wonderful adventure in my life and I love watching your adventure unfold!
Good morning Rosie. This was a great video and IMHO, it is the long distance thru-hiking you have done that gave you your warm understanding of just who you are - to yourself. That is an important baseline for growing one's self-awareness that a ton of people never even think about. Your hikes challenged you, you accepted that, and then applied the lessons to your goals re your life-style desires. That is admirable. Take good care. Ta
The last decade, fortunately, the world has focused more on the fact that we are all different. For many years I have struggled with questions from my family about why I am not married and do not want children. Fortunately, it has become more acceptable to be yourself. Do the things that make you happy and ignore people who want you to do things their way. ❤ (stay cute) 😊
Thank you, your honesty is refreshing and made me smile. I realise the videos are for consumption but ultimately you do you and if people don't like it they don't have to watch.
What I like best about these videos is that you never know what she is going to say, "like I studied Elfism when I was younger," and it is so entertaining you just think "OK," because you wonder what else is going on in her head. She certainly is individualist, and when she says something it seems like it as entertaining to her as it to others but then she off to the next topic. I have never watched one of her videos without laughing at something she is acknowledging about how she might feel about something. She is a very accomplished individual with loads of creativity and craftsmenship. I mean how many of us would ride a bycicle to a hardwood store and load it u[p with wood for a project and ride it back with such assuerment that, of course, she will make it home with everything in tack, OK!
Your cabin is looking like home now. The view out the window with snow falling was lovely... we don't see that here in Florida. Also, enjoyed learning more about the drone magic. Thanks so much for sharing.
No .. the magic will never be taken out of your videos! Thanks for sharing .. and good on you not sharing you age .. a girl has to have some privacy!! Sorry .. a 'not young anymore' person needs her privacy. I'd love to see you and Ariel together .. what a hoot that would be. You and Martijn too for that matter. Anyway .. thanks again Rosie. You are quite simply the best (think Tina Turner).
Great video and so interesting 😊 Unsolicited advice is the most annoying thing ever. I’m pretty sure you didn’t get this far with your head in the clouds. Happy New Year 🥳 🎉
I am reminded of a compliment I read in a fairytale (when I first learned to read): “You are as wise as you are beautiful!” And YES you definitely would fit in with Elves, I can picture you with pointy ears and lovely red hair. I am certain you would be fine warrior. And YES, bunnies are great, but your home would be chewed to bits. They make wonderful (cute!) companions. You forgot to mention that it can be expensive to have a pet, especially when they go to the vet. And YES, there is something lovely about having alone time and doing WHATEVER you want! I enjoy all your camera work with the drone views and the music.
(((Standing ovation!!!)))) what a glorious Q&A!! I loved every second of it! You are adorable and interesting and very talented! I learned so much about the drone and editing ! (Hugging you tight) You have helped me so much!! (Smiling) Being an introvert- I loved what you said about “the batteries of introverts running out”! Thank you for sharing your wisdom!! You have given me courage to be adventurous!! Much love and light beautiful Soul!!
I’m glad to hear you not letting people tell you what you should do. I personally love watching you do what you do, sometimes it works and if not you find a way to do it. Just stay Rosie. I just dread when you finish this house.
Hi everyone! Thanks for all the cute comments! I just found out I completely got my personality type wrong, it's actually INFP. Oops!
Well, I'll have to revise my comments to my mom now to tell her that you're an ALMOST non-me-me in Sweden. 😉
What l love about this, we all have a dream about living alone in a remote place, but you really gave to be the type of person to do what you do. I really have recognised that l need a different dream, but enjoying your journey, from the comfort of my warm flat ❤
I did the (cute) free 16 personalities test and became an INFP as well. more specifically INFP-T.
Me too. I have so much respect for your decisions. ❤. And cute is just fine.
A person that does not like dogs or cats can't be a nice person. Now I see why you have to live alone in a forest and the only people visiting you are your parents

Also, like you, I am not a social person. I never get lonesome.
I have been called a hermit and a loner and a free spirit. I just feel like me.
You inspire me because you live your life for yourself.
Keep doing whatever you want to do.
I also understand you not wanting a patreon account. I don't want anyone paying my way. I don't give anyone the right to feel like they are entitled to have a say in my life!
I enjoy your channel and you have taught me several things. Thank you for that.
I live in Texas, USA. I know our situations are quite different, but I feel a kinship with you.
I love your comment! Have a lovely day and all the best for your renovations! Greetings from Germany

“All the introverts in the room….didn’t feel like raising their hands…” 🙂
LOLOL - didn't want to, not motivated to :)
"I exist in this world. I know about things, thank you" i love you 🤣🤣
I could happily live for months without seeing another soul. Socialising is over rated. You're the poster girl for the 'how hard could it be' movement - love it!! :)
Same here. As long as I have nature & wildlife & preferably rolling hillsides (with no traffic) 😊
Me three! 😊❤
I agree in everything you say 🎉🎉🎉
❤
😊 agree
Your parents were wise in letting you have freedom! Loved seeing how you do the drone.
Me too! ❤
I love your attitude!
Yes, very true and wise!
Yes. Thank you for the drone how to. Demystifies it for me. Fun and easy for me to see it here and not have to look it up or read about it, which would drive me bonkers. I feel more capable now. Thanks.
I am amazed at how a graceful, gentle, soft-spoken lady like you can cut wood, make furniture pieces, lift heavy things let alone live and do these renovations by herself in a house far from neighbors. You inspire.
You talk about these things like theyre hard to do. Theyre not, youre just lazy
@@kattihatt thank you for the comment. Yes, I am too lazy to think and say things like you do. You are awesome. Keep it up so you feel happy.🙂
@@PlantCrazyMom keep being lazy then 🙄
It is indeed inspiring! I guess that lack of money and other obstacles can be stimulating in some way... Anyway it is what I experienced...(PS...you are not lazy!)...

OUTDOOR SHOWER!!!! hot as you want, no mold. no flood. love it! keep on keeping on Rosie! your videos have fantastic production value. another skill to add to the growing list!
Keep doing what youre doing Rosie. We love it.
Very , very wise about Patreon. Selling yourself as a product would immediately change everything you cherish.
This is one of the few QandA’s that I actually enjoyed. It was very CUTE 😂
Love this. I would add one thing: Some of us ask you about things(again and again) because we are looking into traveling this same path and every time we ask online we are inundated with conflicting advice. You're living it, so your opinion is highly valued(because we know how much thought and research you put into your decisions).

I’m guilty too ! Don’t feel bad. We just want the best for Rosie !
I'm an ol' grandma watching and must say that your 'simplicity and freedom and peace' are what attracted me to your vids. I pray you just remain who you are because it is a most wonderfilled thing when a person can 'accept' their limitations and their gifts and simply 'be'. This is one of life's hardest challenges...to be yourself and not 'allow fears and pressure' to warp you into someone that is not you. WELL DONE! You are a rich 'young' woman and I thank you for sharing with us. Health and Blessings! :)
❤❤❤
❤❤❤ i love it.
You have put so beautifully into words what my mind and soul have come to realize in the past years. Thank you! 🤍
You forgot to add WISE to "old grandma!" 😮 Your words are what I needed to know decades ago but only figured out once I lost the ability to walk. Grateful for my memories and hope everyone steps into who they truly are. Blessings to you. 🙏🕊️
@@lulumoon6942 Too kind my dear! And blessings to you!
Ariel and Rosie. Great idea. Ariel in a corner reading ++ and Rosie quietly sitting with a cuppa and pondering new ways of doing something or other….finding pleasure in the little things that feed their souls. 🎉
For those who don’t know her, Ariel is a Canadian woman who moved to Nova Scotia to renovate an old house and make it into a truly bright snd cheerful, and eclectic Ariel home. She has a UA-cam channel too but also has a podcast about all the books she reads.
2 very interesting, accomplished and unique women
Some people just don’t understand that this is your journey and not theirs. Such a cute genuine response. ❤ Gott Nytt År på dig.
Loved your input on not wanting to change who you are but embracing your personality and strengths!! 🙏⭐️
I've mentioned this ten times already... your channel is awesome!
😂😂😂
Oh Rosie, you are a very sweet person.
Yes! Finally someone on YT who gets how sh*t Amazon is. Thank you! Your parents sound amazing - very similar to how I was raised :-) Although my dad did ask me once: "Why don't you study economics instead?" When I answered "Well, why didn't you?" he just laughed and said "Your right, study whatever you want!" :-D Have a lovely day!
Happy new year, Rosie. I don’t watch Q& As because I, a ) find them intrusive and b) boring, but today I found your one entertaining. Especially the question that asked it you felt annoyed with the repeat suggestions/advice/questions. That was worthy of a laugh out loud moment. So did the Google comment 🤣. Occasionally I scroll through the comments and I feel annoyed for you. Thanks for another great video, see ya in the nest one. Cripes, Google will say I’m decrepit 😂.
Agreed on all points. 😂
The subtle cut when asked about your age 😂 Good on you for not answering!
Lol I thought that was the funniest edit I’ve ever done 🤭
Why not reveal her age? Seems silly
@@carrieschwenk5890 Actually it's really not a secret, I just thought it was funny. I've done some interviews you can find in which I've mentioned my age :)
@@wildrosie I appreciated it! I am also "not young" and very excited to start describing myself as middle-aged 😂
@@leannalost Even though I really don't mind my age, the 'M' word just sounds so harsh :D
Your bit about extroverts deciding we are social creatures and introverts being too tired to say no.... I felt that all the way to my core! Also thanks for mentioning your video editor program, I've been making little phone videos for my friends and family of our house remodel (which is nowhere near as cool as yours) and hadn't been editing yet but a couple times have wanted to. Thanks for sharing your journey with us!
I soooo love your sense of humor ! Keep doing what you love !
"I exist in this world, I know about things" is so good. Du är jätte cool, Rosie. tack för videorna.
I'm a 32 plus year union carpenter from the exhibit business in the U S A...East coast...just want say you did an extraordinarily great job for doing it ascon the job training!!!! Get yourself a right angle cordless drill though...it'll make job easier for you in those tight places
I love your confidence, authenticity, mindset and calm nature
Love the William Morris style fabric on your banquette pillows. Also love your camera/editing work, your content, and the pace of your videos. Also love that you follow your bliss. Keeping it real😊 That’s what makes me keep coming back😊 oh, and love the drone shots! Stay cute, Rosie!!🥰
Ditto re the cushion fabric ❤
I LOVE that you didn't answer the age question. YES. Just YES.
Your Q and A was quite interesting. I can understand about making something you consider ugly. As a weaver I have made things I've thought were ugly and then someone else exclaimed, "It's so cute!" 😁 And bought it. Cracks me up. Age. You are so funny about Mr. Google telling you what is young and what is not. Thank you for showing how the drone works and pointing out how much time is involved in filming and editing - it is easy to not understand how much work goes into your beautiful videos.
Your parents raised you well! Good luck with your projects and your life journey!
Oh, Wild Rosie, so cute!!! I am very,very not young and I hope you will always be as authentic and adventurous as you are now. Many channels I have abandoned in the past because the vloggers end up telling me how hard they are working to provide 'content' for me and push their coffee buying, club joining and patreon relentlessly. Stay real.
Authentic is CUTE! 😂
As sweet as you are and as new as I am to your channel, I have to say I REALLY LOVE your pushback on the redundant suggestions you get! You're amazing!❤
But why? People aren't being cruel. They're just trying to help.
@@MAC-op5fcPeople are know it alls it s pretty annoying when you re an independent person, it s not helpfull it s making you small ... I personally hate it
I have just discovered your channel and have been binge watching! So, I am watching this video which you posted 3 months ago, so I don't know if you will see my comment. I love seeing you travel by bike and with a trailer carrying all you goods (groceries, wood!). My initial attraction to your content was seeing a woman doing the renovations. I also am a woman and you are inspiring me to "give it a try". Why not? What is there to lose? I walked the Camino in Spain as a pilgrimage and I came home with a lifetime mantra: You can do anything if you give yourself enough time and grace. Bravo for your efforts and showing us a slice of your life. Best wishes from Michigan, USA
I also just discovered this channel and am binge watching!
Happy New Year Rosie! All the best for 2024 and beyond!
Absolutely everything about this video makes watching your journey that much better. “I’m not an alien, I know about things” 😂
Karen Janeway: "Are you an alien being of some kind? Is that it? You're an alien. You've created, edited and shared all these awesome vids, haven't you?"
Incredible and admirable Rosie: "This is what my species does."
Rosie you have me completely bewitched with who you are. You're so strong, yet feminine. So capable, yet humble and growth oriented. I have so much admiration for you and what you're doing.
I’m an extrovert who also likes being alone. There are such people. Being an extrovert, though, has always made it easy for me to try new places, things and activities.
You're well sorted Rosie, that's why you've got the following you've got 😊
Safe to say you changed my life, I now spend so much time building little nooks with your videos in the background. Woohoo go elves!
So real this video 😂✨️
Gosh, extroverts can be so exausting in their ignorance about people who are not like themselves! Do they totally lack imagination?! I would never want to change myself into that kind of person, I'm totally happy about the way I am. I love everything about your videos!
"I'm not an alien ...I know about things." Love it!
Happy new year, Rosie. I love watching your videos. Thanks for sharing with us.
Rosie, I love that you are being true to yourself. We live in a world where so many people fall into the trap of “keeping up with the Jones’s”. Once one realises that we only have one life & if people don’t like who we are or what we have. It’s there problem not yours. I think it’s called having inner peace and knowing you’re content with yourself.
Your project is top knotch despite you renovating on a budget. It certainly doesn’t look like that and your attention to detail is amazing.
You’re a breath of fresh air both you and your renovation. Thank you..
Hi Rosie, I am grateful for your videos. I simply love them. They are very balanced, you are inspiring, they are peaceful and soothing, interesting, motivational and thought provoking, truthful, simple visually yet they are profoundly healing and of goodness and a very intelligent mind working very hard to open peoples minds to challenging what you can achieve actually on your own. Your a modern day trailblazer in my estimation and its cheesy to admit - YOU ARE " A TOP G"!
And it was so interesting to see how much work there is behind that calm looking episode. Of course I knew there is work, but so good that Rosie doesn't try to do it too often anymore. Now I am even more impressed every time I'll watch a new episode.
I wanted to let you know how much I admire HOW you are living and doing your projects at your own pace instead of the pace that others think things should be done. It's refreshing in this "crazy" fast pace world. Thanks for sharing your experience.
Embrace all the repetitive questions as a free boost to your earnings as each one contributes to your
Algorithm metrics and channel growth
this chick is hilarious. I would laugh my ass off in her presence just listening to her calm, demeanor chat. she absolutely cannot lie. its perfection.
Loved your Q&A.. You have said many times that you are not doing this on a massive bank roll and that you get things has you can afford them. If people are so interested in getting a stove fan, car, wheelbarrow - they should send you some. You did answer one thing for me - you are a design architect - wondered how you made such detailed drawings of your designs. I am quite amazed at your resilience, fortitude and accomplishments.
INTJ watercolour artist here. My people limit is about 2 hours, then plz everyone, go home 😅. Your little home is progressing so nicely! I truly enjoy your videos.... thnx Rosie!
Ah, I love how you replied to these questions (I mean, comments, really...) and the many serious looks at the camera. Also love how you reframed people's fears. From one "old" woman that looks 10 years younger to another... you're awesome, Rosie!
It's so nice to hear from you Rosie! I hope 2024 will be a GREAT year for you.
Rosie is just a natural presenter.I really appreciate her Honesty,simplicity, perspectives on life and scenarios. What is more she is well educated and read and a free spirit. How many of us possess those qualities? This channel deserves so many more subscribers it is way better than many other pretenders to the Off Grid UA-cam Vlogs.I wholeheartedly appreciate her integrity regarding Patreon/Amazon etc. Then there is her wonderfully dry and well delivered sense of humour. All this recognised by a 67 year old who apparently isn'tconsidered old according to Google unitill I am 76!!!!
An Ariel & Rosie meet up would be amazing - my two favourite UA-camrs of all time 😮
As hard as you work, if you do make a new shower facility, I think you should make part of the construction a sauna. The luxury of having a sauna after a long days work mid-winter. Firing up the sauna to soak up the heat before you shower, then step into the residually warm dressing area you have designed, it would be warm from the adjacent saunas heat. Those first few winters had to be so cold, I imagine sliding into bed still warmed from the sauna would cut that shiver time down waiting for your own body to heat the cold bedding.
Hi Rosie! Happy New Year! Yes, your home is very cute, as it should be. I think you will still have plenty of magic in your videos to keep us here. Thank you for sharing your life with us.😊
I have suspected for a while that you are a braver version of me, and I am now fully convinced of it. I still dream of living on a small piece of land in the woods, but that is probably not going to happen since I want to stay near my parents. Thanks for letting me live vicariously through you!
Rosie, the fact that you mentioned the Enneagram tells me a lot more about you, which I can so easily relate to. Most of the questions from viewers seem more about their projections. Huge respect from a fellow 👽 living a very similar forest lifestyle…and loving it!
🇯🇵 🏔️ ❄️ ♥️
Haha honestly the "I'm not an alien" segment is the best. I sympathize so much. For what it's worth I absolutely love the fact that you don't have a car and just make it work. You're my inspiration whenever I feel overwhelmed with a project or task. If Rosie can build herself cute things in the Swedish forest... Then so can I!
I understand about not needing lots of people around. Sometimes I think I will fall into bits if I am told I "need" to be "in community" on a daily basis. I absolutely l i k e being alone.
Happy new year Rosie 🎉 A lot of questions... I guess people are curious. I'd just like to say that what you achieve, all be it within your stated limitations, inspires many. An independent woman. You are indeed a lady but a strong and resourceful one. If you fitted any standard mould you wouldn't be the amazing person you are. Stay you. Blessings for a super 2024. 🙏
Looking forward to the upcoming year of your videos! In regard to people making suggestions I truly believe for the most part that people are good and just want to be helpful (of course some may think their opinion is the best and be conceited about it) but when viewers watch their favourite UA-cam creators we in a sense invite those creators into our own homes so in a way it's easy to get invested or actually feel concern or feelings of friendship for creators we continually bring into our 'home'.
Nicely put. I agree with you. I understand Rosie’s reaction, but I believe that people are really just trying to help, not to be insulting.
I did see one clip where it was mentioned how cold it was in the other rooms and that is when people started to say get the stove fans. I saw this as them being helpful. I do wonder why not mention a thanks for the suggestions and you will get them but not right now, that will stop the suggestions as they have been acknowledged
I'm all about CUTE also, I live in the Georgia mtns in the USA. I'm in my 70s and work on my 3 acres everyday. Your videos are very inspirational , thank you!!!❤
I loved your Q& A mostly because of your sense of humour and candor. I rarely comment on UA-cam, but gosh, girl, you're a treasure and you made my day. Thank you.
Great drone demo, thanks. I can relate to what you are doing, somewhat. I have been renovating my house that was damaged in a fire over 10 years age, since I didn't have enough fire insurance, I've been paying as I go. I made a small apartment in the garage so I guess, I've been renovating 2 places. For me learning as I go is normal, my friends think it's "amazing", for me I'm just doing what anyone in my position would do, and I'm enjoying the process.
I really enjoyed this video, so funny how you responded to all the questions and comments.
It‘s so refreshing having a completely authentic person on UA-cam, not trying to please everyone but just doing her thing. That‘s why l enjoy watching your videos so much. Thanks for sharing your experience and being honest. 👍🏻
I’m an INFJ and could happily live without seeing anyone as long as I had my books and could get my shopping delivered and left outside my door 😁
"I am not an Alien" sounds like something and alien would say ;) Love your videos! keep up with the great work!
😂😂😂 Hahahahaha! Needed that!
Enjoy your well-deserved peacefulness, nature and birds!
Good morning from Florida. Wishing you a Happy New Year and continued success with your beautiful home. 😊
Your parent's gave you a precious gift in allowing you to be just who you are. Treasure it, & them everyday! 🙏🕊️
Rosie you are inspiring for women. Love your videos 😊.
Thank you for this video. You have given me much food for thought, especially regarding how small actions/ quiet comments can hold so many assumptions and impact others so deeply. Also, your " try it and see, but with a plan" ethic has inspired me to do some small things around the house. Again, thank you!
You are absolutely brilliant. I cannot believe I only just found you on your channel!!
Rosie you have style, determination and integrity and I still can’t believe you don’t beg for money like most on UA-cam. That is my personal ‘ick factor’!!
Good job mum and dad on raising such a capable, clever and determined‘young’ woman. Yay for you. I am loving your adventures .
I don't think you have to explain yourself to anyone. Just be you doing you. People have a choice to follow or not. There is a difference between being lonely and being alone. New Year blessings to you Rosie. I enjoy your channel very much.
I love your sense of humor 😂 if you're old, God help the rest of us! 😅
Happy New Year Rosie from a young 76 years ! Like the way you live and you know what you want! I knew you were a 5 ! I am a 7! Keep going, you're on a good way. Slowly but surely! Have a great week! Louise from Québec xxx😁
As for Google on the topic of age, this is one time that I would ignore what it says. I am 76 so I would be defined as old but you are definitely not. I feel bad that you get so many silly and personal questions that people really should not even ask. I just watch your videos for the pure enjoyment of how you live and what you chose to do. I would never think of telling you what you need to or what you need to buy or own. I am also an introvert and don’t need to be around people that much. When I do need to do that, I only want a small number of people, no crowds. To each his own!! Life is too short to focus on what other people think. There are too many people out there without one ounce of common sense. I hope that you will continue to do you Rosie! I love watching your videos no matter what you are doing or not doing! Hugs……………………..
Ok I must have missed the fact that you are a professional designer watching on and off for a year. I was pretty amazed as an Architect that your eye for design elements and design structure was more than just luck. I have to say the place looks awesome. Your design is limited to your carpentry skills now but your thought process around cabinet design and layout is awesome. I am really enjoying this series. Cheers from Boston. This was so entertaining I laughed so much. However, the idea of the car is freedom to explore new places, quicky without much thought on a whim, with no plan. Totally spontaneously. I think you would enjoy that even as an introvert. A little old 60s or 70s mini copper?
I heard you say you were going to get the fans! I personally think you are an absolutely amazing “young” woman! Your skills and talents are just so impressive and your confidence is beyond belief!
I am a 79 year old old lady! I love watching your show! When I was young because of the environment that I was brought in and my parents did it because they love me, but I had some issues so I actually had to listen to a subliminal tape on self-confidence in order to become self-confident. But it worked so I set out on a path in my late 20s to use that confidence to become the woman I wanted to be. I am an introvert who loves being alone. I can work on things I love and don’t care what others think. I love watching you tackle new projects and I love you sharing your thought process with us. You are a wonderful example of what we can all accomplish if we set our minds to it.
For those asking you how to change their lives one of the techniques I used frequently when I was younger was at night as I was falling asleep I visualize and felt the feeling of what it would be like living the life I wanted to live. What an adventure that was. Miraculous events occurred that opened doors for the next step and it seemed easy to move in that direction. All came about quickly and I moved to the next life I had envisioned. I have had a wonderful adventure in my life and I love watching your adventure unfold!
Good morning Rosie. This was a great video and IMHO, it is the long distance thru-hiking you have done that gave you your warm understanding of just who you are - to yourself. That is an important baseline for growing one's self-awareness that a ton of people never even think about. Your hikes challenged you, you accepted that, and then applied the lessons to your goals re your life-style desires. That is admirable. Take good care. Ta
The last decade, fortunately, the world has focused more on the fact that we are all different. For many years I have struggled with questions from my family about why I am not married and do not want children. Fortunately, it has become more acceptable to be yourself.
Do the things that make you happy and ignore people who want you to do things their way. ❤ (stay cute) 😊
Thank you, your honesty is refreshing and made me smile. I realise the videos are for consumption but ultimately you do you and if people don't like it they don't have to watch.
What I like best about these videos is that you never know what she is going to say, "like I studied Elfism when I was younger," and it is so entertaining you just think "OK," because you wonder what else is going on in her head. She certainly is individualist, and when she says something it seems like it as entertaining to her as it to others but then she off to the next topic. I have never watched one of her videos without laughing at something she is acknowledging about how she might feel about something. She is a very accomplished individual with loads of creativity and craftsmenship. I mean how many of us would ride a bycicle to a hardwood store and load it u[p with wood for a project and ride it back with such assuerment that, of course, she will make it home with everything in tack, OK!
I think your house is not only cute but absolutely adorable!! 🥰
Thanks for the drone demo. It’s still magical.
You make living simple and following your own personal life possible. An inspiration for sure.
Carry on and good health 😊.
Your cabin is looking like home now. The view out the window with snow falling was lovely... we don't see that here in Florida. Also, enjoyed learning more about the drone magic. Thanks so much for sharing.
No .. the magic will never be taken out of your videos!
Thanks for sharing .. and good on you not sharing you age .. a girl has to have some privacy!! Sorry .. a 'not young anymore' person needs her privacy.
I'd love to see you and Ariel together .. what a hoot that would be. You and Martijn too for that matter.
Anyway .. thanks again Rosie. You are quite simply the best (think Tina Turner).
Great video and so interesting 😊 Unsolicited advice is the most annoying thing ever. I’m pretty sure you didn’t get this far with your head in the clouds. Happy New Year 🥳 🎉
I am reminded of a compliment I read in a fairytale (when I first learned to read): “You are as wise as you are beautiful!” And YES you definitely would fit in with Elves, I can picture you with pointy ears and lovely red hair. I am certain you would be fine warrior.
And YES, bunnies are great, but your home would be chewed to bits. They make wonderful (cute!) companions. You forgot to mention that it can be expensive to have a pet, especially when they go to the vet.
And YES, there is something lovely about having alone time and doing WHATEVER you want! I enjoy all your camera work with the drone views and the music.
(((Standing ovation!!!)))) what a glorious Q&A!! I loved every second of it! You are adorable and interesting and very talented!
I learned so much about the drone and editing ! (Hugging you tight) You have helped me so much!! (Smiling) Being an introvert- I loved what you said about “the batteries of introverts running out”!
Thank you for sharing your wisdom!! You have given me courage to be adventurous!! Much love and light beautiful Soul!!
I’m glad to hear you not letting people tell you what you should do. I personally love watching you do what you do, sometimes it works and if not you find a way to do it. Just stay Rosie. I just dread when you finish this house.
