You are such an inspiration wish I was there.....Godbless best wishes ....plz tell us more about your life there at home and outside and other aspects of life cooking gardening exploring fun social personal activities animals sports seasons people etc baby😊
And how many of us couldn’t figure out why she was putting down new flooring when it was already done? Until she pulled the vinyl floor? 😂😂
That really had us guessing...hope she saves can use in outdoor bldgs!!
My first thought
I am sure we would if we were there in person looking at that floor.
@sarahhansen762 Haha - me!
Thanks for another lovely video, Rosie. Lovely shorts too.
Let me just repeat what I heard in your intro.... you are mortgage free!! Let that sink in... CONGRATULATIONS! In today's world... that is wonderful! And freeing. I am so close to it. So close. And I also had to make alternative choices to get here. I hope your message is amplified and brings encouragement to others who can't afford one path... hope and creativity to pursue other ideas.
Living on my own and sometimes seeing nobody for a long time just like you, my sunday is not complete without watching wild Rosie...
Thank you my dear❤❤
The filming and editing and music is just exquisite: and in some way haunting. With each video I realise anew how little I'm settling for; how deep is the rut I'm in; how I could be doing so much better in terms of where and how I want to be. The world is so awful these days but my actual life doesn't need to mirror that: I can change things in my own daily life. Thanks, Rosie for reminding me.
So many people feel the same way, watching these videos helps us to see that there is another way. Its soo inspiring. I too am in the process of making changes to my life and it feels exciting & scary but the alternative is even more frightening! Wishing you luck on your journey, wherever it takes you!
@@TheNicoliyah You too! Thank you for your uplifting comment.
@@annalytic Aww you are welcome!😊
Beginning the change is the most difficult but also the most rewarding..
That was making me nervous too!! Rosie brings a breath of fresh air to my old bones! When young, i did lots of DIY, now i so enjoy her clever videos, so thankful good rain fell on her lovely garden!! She juggles so many projects, videos award winning!! Nan, 82 now!
You are little and very feminine but you are also very brave and determined. You are an inspiration to other humans who need to follow their hearts the way that you have.
Hi Rosie ! Advise : Take the moss off the roof on the guesthouse . It will collect water and destroyed the roof. And i noticed that the chimneytop on your big house have no cover . Keep up the good work ! God luck whith everything !! KM / Sweden
Great advice!
Oh no, the video is over already ! I just wanted it to go on for another hour... you are so methodical Rosie and I really admire your attention to detail. Time consuming as it is, you are a perfectionist and it's such a treat to watch your vlogs! 😀
Oh, my gosh! when you shook the stain wearing your new beautiful outfit, I kept thinking, “Don’t splatter! Please, don’t splatter!” I love watching you sew as much as I love watching you renovate and take hikes!
lol same 😊
I have watched almost every video blog and I must say Im in awe of the streght, will and dedication. You are truly inspiring and watching you made me feel every emotion my body and mind could feel. So proud of you and can't wait to see the next videos and the completion of your home. ❤
As a tailor I am so happy to see you incorporate your sewing skills in your lovely videos.❤️
You really have a skill of doing DIY without instantly ruining your clothes! I wish I had that skill!
Again a great video,and I'm also happy for you to see your community growing quite nicely in the week I have followed your channel! Well done!
I was so worried that she would get stain on the pretty new outfit
I lov how your short set turned out! The linen looked so crisp and your finishing looked so professional. It totally stressed me out to see you staining wood while wearing it though! You need to keep it pristine for St. Tropez!
Me too! Don't get stain on your cute new outfit!!
Yes, I was so worried as well
Taller people are further away from their work, as they have longer arms, now shorter people like me have it bad.
Right in the middle of your floor prep you design and make a shorts outfit. My goodness, you are multi talented ! At the end you will have a new home and a new wardrobe as well.
"I feel like I'm on a ...HOLIDAY ( ...)"
If one wonders why on earth should we watch Rosie'vlog, this might be an answer. I mean, it is raining, which had her removing all things stored outside into the house again, but who cares...
So understable, I love the fresh crispiness it gives, the sound overwhelming the silence and the thought of the thankful plants being watered generously makes me sing and dance... ; - ))
Wow, I was always wondering why you would want to rip out that beautiful wooden floor until you pulled up the edge and only then I realised it is vinyl!
Girl, you amaze, the outfit is darling, even when carrying lumber, lol...at nearly 74, I am still on my own doing incredible tasks and loving every minute of my creations...I am going to add a stock water tank/pool to my Florida back yard, adding more stepping stones for path and pad, then bamboo fencing around and a must have mosquito net arbor over it...a never ending work ethic is a must have, a vision and a bit of a whimsical attitude...it may not be for everyone, but then who cares...I love that about you, that you can laugh at yourself and live your life....BRAVO...!
Hat is a stock water pool? Is that an agricultural item for livestock?
What
@@MsYingyang2 yes, it's a large round water trough for livestock, all kinds of plans to build them on youtube, a cheap, fun alternative to an expensive pool.
You know how some people have an eye for details? Well, I looked at your floor and thought what a wonderful job you had done with the floors. It’s so pretty! Then you took the vinyl off 😭. I obviously have absolutely NO eye for details 🤣😂
The time and care you put into everything you do is beautiful to watch Rosie. Very inspired watching your channel!! 🫶🏼✨🌼
I love that you stop a major job to go complete a smaller one. I do the same. It keeps you going when you have a time consuming job then go make something that you can complete in a short time. The outfit is gorgeous and fits you so well. I loved the colour of the sample shorts too with that cute top. So inspiring Rosie x
Its a pleasure to see you working things out in a logical and artistic fashion. You have a good mind. Your parents must be so proud of your work.
Thanks for sharing yourself with the world.
You forget your doing this on your own it can take a long time but one day you will sit there looking at your handy work and say to yourself I did that ❤
Thank you for sharing more of your story! Is there no end to your talents? My husband and I are really enjoying how you are transforming your lovely little property.
Finally someone who abides by the strict Haute Couture code of forest cabin flooring. Well done!
Rosie, you are the ultimate multi tasker! I love your European vacation outfit❤️
You're a real inspiration to the younger woman! I love your videos, brilliant content!🌺
Another great video! I always enjoy it when you are sewing. It is so fun to see how you proceed with creating your projects, I love it. Of course, I could watch you all day so I am always sad when the video ends. This is going to be such an exciting phase to watch and I am so looking forward to it. Great job, Rosie, with everything that you do; you conquer the hard parts with such persistence and determination. I can only imagine how proud your parents must be of you. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful life with all of us. See you next time.❤
Always look forward to Monday morning here in Australia when a Rosie vlog lands. Im thrilled to hear you talking about sewing Rosie as its a passion of mine too. Just another reason to love your stories.
Your block pattern making and attention to detail is sublime. You are so gifted.
Rosie, you are an inspiration to watch. I look forward to seeing you each week. I can’t wait to see all of the interesting things that you are doing to your home.continue to inspire us, you are a very talented person and very brave.
If you have to take off any more doors (I work alone too), put books under them and slowly lift them up. My doors are solid wood and very heavy. Then I just 'walk' them (or shimmy) until I can carefully move them aside and lean them on the wall. It really does work. Same in reverse when putting back on.
Such a lovely job of sewing. It must be so satisfying to create and sew your clothing. Can’t wait to see how you transform the room. Love what you came up with for the guest house.
How that rain looked soft, refreshing, gentle and beneficial. Thank you for sharing. 🌾
Rosie your summer short set is so pretty and cool looking.
You’re doing a great job preparing your floor boards and that living space will look beautiful when complete just like the other areas in your home. You have a good eye for details and you get better with each week that goes by.
Once the downstairs gets finished it will be interesting to see how you tackle the upstairs.
Your garden is coming along nicely too.
See you next week. 🍀🌷🌺🌸✨🥰🙏🌻💕
I can't believe you're wearing your beautiful new vacation ensemble to stain! I'm really amazed about your sewing skills!
Hi Rosie! I’ve been following your channel since the beginning and found myself daydreaming today watching story #57. I tried to imagine your life a year or so from now with renovations completed, wildflowers growing amass and your gardens chock full of homegrown produce and your just sitting in the shade of an enormous tree swimming mint tea and sharing your latest recipes with your UA-cam followers. I imagine you growing your designs for sewing a minimalist wardrobe and offering your designs in your online Etsy shop! Keep on keeping on in your pursuit of a wonderful self reliant home in Sweden!
So enjoyable and so funny you are with your wry sense of humor! This room will be super for you to have done this winter. As the saying goes no pain no gain. The floor will be a crowning glory once done. I've been wondering as well how you are enjoying sleeping in your guesthouse is it everything you hoped for? Thank you as always for sharing.
Well done Rosie, your short set looks great along with the flowering of your wild flowers. I .ove the way you work, thinking things through to a great solution. Bravo YOU! 👏 blessings Philippa New Zealand
Spent midsummer at grandma’s summerhouse which is part of a small community similarly surrounded by forests. Got in 45k steps between those two days. Nature in Sweden really is beautiful, and I don’t know anything more serene than that little place
Rosie, I am beginning to believe there isn’t anything you can’t do! You would probably find a day at a St. Tropez beach dull, no adventure 🎉👏🏻💫
Love your new outfit. Can I make a suggestion on the floor? Install then stain. It will make your job much easier. Love what you are doing. Can't wait until you finish.
I think hát you have is wonderful you live alone but your so close to nature and you have planted certain vegetables as well as flowers👍
12,08 video Sequence, feels like a mystique half minutes as in Ingemar Bergman movie. The music, your footsteps to the opening door, standing there, you say. I cant remember last time it rained, raindrops outside. You say : So nice and quiet. Feels like you can hit peoples heart with your timing and painting words. Fore me it feels like a master sequence, this half minute. Its soo Good.
Hello Rosie. Beautiful work you are doing. You are very talented and strong. Best of luck for your future projects 🙏
I think this will take you about five years to get it to the way you want it, so do not worry about it, once everything is done you will feel so good and then you can give more time to your garden ❤
Love that you're sewing your own clothes and that it's something that gives you joy.
Another fantastic video!! I love that you interjected your sewing into it. It makes one almost feel like they are hanging out with you. Great work. Can't wait to see the new floor installed ☺.
Your design of your top and shorts I think are very good and suits you so much well done you ❤
cute outfit idea. Seamstress here, you can always use a different fabric for pockets. sewing is an amazing skill to have! Keep up the great work
The water looked so clear and cooling. Lovely.
So impressed, you definitely have “thinking outside the box “skills.
It doesn't rain much in Sweden, at least here in the north. I'm not sure how south you are? Are you above or below Stockholm line? But the rain is always nice, good and very welcome!🌲
Also I really like that you said "I feel like I'm on vacation" . It's an amazing feeling to live a life you don't need a vacation from and always feel good with your surroundings! 🌞🌻
Greetings from the north! How was your Midsummer? 🌹🌼🌿
A real pleasure, as always!
I am going to take a break now to get some rest. Have been viewing your videos for hours. Will be back for more. Best wishes for your continued success.
You had me at my first viewing but at almost 83 I do not fancy going to the lock up for robbing the cradle. I love so many of the comments you have gotten.
I look forward to spending my Sunday mornings with you. You’re doing an amazing job with your projects and remodeling. I do wonder how you handle the loneliness or if you experience being lonely? I’m in a new city and not knowing anyone here has made me feel so alone.
If you feel comfortable, go treat yourself to a day out, see the sights. Have a nice lunch... you will meet people and find your friends! Good luck, it takes time, I’m sure you know 🙌🏻🎉
I think being out in nature is the key. You feel peaceful, not alone. When you are alone in a city surrounded by lots of people you feel more alone.
Cities can be very lonely places.
@@annalytic I agree, plus it’s a smallish town in Oklahoma.
I like your attitude: 'It's rainnig. Feels like I'm on holiday!'. Funny, but oh so true!
I like the side of shorts without the flare.
I always love watching you see something. The flooring is going to look beautiful! I never want your videos to end, even if some of the music you pick sounds so sad! Looking forward to next week.
Hi Rosie, your very skilled with wood , a natural , your designs are really lovely 😊, lift hinge doors , open them past 90 degrees it clears the door jam and architrave at the top , cut two long thin wedges make them so when hammered together they lift the door clear of the hinges , place wedges under the door close to inner part of the door ,it lifts easier that way bang the wedges together and the door pops off , also get 4 small castor wheels and make a long rectangular block of wood half the size of the door bottom edge ,fix castors on all 4 corners of the block of wood and you have a door dolly, you can run wood battons along the dolly to keep the door from slipping off , as a 16yr old labourer starting out i wasnt very strong a carpenter showed me this trick , and built the dolly i used it to move everything 😀 , your videos are so relaxing , just found your channel ,it's very different , 😊goid different. subscribed 👍
Pretty sure we all want to come for a visit, and help with your projects! 😅 Adore your channel, Rosie! 👍🇨🇦😎
Look at you in your cute little summer outfit, renovating like nobody's business ☺️💪🏻
I love your sewing methods of making what you visualize. I have pieced together many things to get the “look” I wanted. Kudos.
It's so inspiring following your renovation journey, such a lovely place you have in the swedish woods 🌲🌲
It's very relaxing watching you at work.
Absolutly stunning colour of woodstain. Great choice! Love your calming energy and drive
Completely understand those doors by oneself! This Old House has helped me with door fixes, but still hard Witt one person to take a heavy door off, you’re doing great, as ever, and thank you, helps me a lot to see your videos!!!!🌹
Understandable, doing work by ones self isn't easy. One has to figure out how to engineer a helping hand. In this case she was taking the door off at the wrong end. Had she "jacked up" the door at the hinge side not the opposite as she did, it would have taken a few seconds to remove the door, it is simple physics. As it was she bound up the hinge points and created a much more difficult job for herself. One has to step back and work smarter rather than harder. Such as staining her flooring. It is much easier to move her drying and staging points right near her staining point, then she wouldn't be walking back and forth for each board from station to station for such a distance to each....Move the chairs once, or move each board several times several hundred feet along the cycle. Things most people can do if they just think about it. Take your time to do things easier thus faster with less effort. Again the key is to work smarter rather than harder, things go so much quicker when you have a plan first.
I love the way you are going to your goal and step by step make this house the house of your dreams ❤ You've done a great job. Good luck!
Its gonna looks super need. Your veg garden are also very happy. You can take a beach holiday the Lord will sent the rain for your plants❤
Hi, Rosie! Happy Midsummer! 🇸🇪
Doing everything without a partner takes a special person.
❤
Hi, beauty! i'm absolutely impressed on how versatil you are! you are capable to do many things! your cabin is inspiring, the greenhouse, everything, I just landed here and I'm already a fan of your videos.
Love the shirt and shorts set I been sewing and now I am making my first quilts eeee
Rosie you are simply amazing on everything you take on an you put all your learning in your projects an you deffently never waste your youth which I so miss 👀👀👀👍👍👍🙏🏻🙏🏻🤗🤗🤗we always look forward to each video stay safe an well I love your short set 👍👍👍👍👍🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
You could make an amazing floor cloth with that linoleum
Your short set turned out so cute! A suggestion would be to use the fabric from your sample shorts to make pockets.
That is an excellent idea!
I felt it so much when you said that the only way out of houseshares and flatmates in the UK is completely leaving the country. As sad as it could be unfortunately that's the reality, especially in pricey places like London and the South of England. Amazing video, thanks for sharing your journey, love every new video you make!
Oh had another idea for the Grapevine garden. Why not remove the wide side of the shed and create a produce stand look with a table or bench and some shelves along the back wall. Have a lovely chair and use as a backdrop for your videos when harvesting. You could also extend the roof with a few poles to create a bit of a porch and plant vines as well.
Your journey is very inspiring! :) keep on going!
Great shorts, makes a lovely summer outfit
Can't wait to see the floor installed ! Love your videos 😍
That sheet of lino could come in very handy for something. Hope you will keep it. If I was to wear a new outfit to paint I would have paint all over it. lol
I am in Finland and live a very similar lifestyle even the houses are the same here. I had new wood floors installed in my house but stained them once they were laid not before.
Rosie. You are a woman of many wonderful talents!! Great video. Thank you for sharing the journey of your life in Sweden 🥰.
Hello Rosie! You're so clever in your workstations. And your short set is adorable. I would need much more material. Thank you again for sharing your thoughts throughout your vids. I talk back to you, like in a conversation, then roll my eyes at myself cuz, yeah, you cant hear me! I wonder do you get lonely? I get to chat my husband and sisters ears off. I hope you have someone to do that with, even if they dont live near!
Blessings from Tx!
Danielle
✨🙏✨love that you are sharing your journey ✨🙏✨
Hi Rosie. Love to hear you enjoy making your own clothes, so do I.
I hope when you have more time once your renervations slow down, you consider doing a how-to video on making patterns. Im great if I have a pattern to start. But not so much if I dont.
Loving what I've seen so far. Im hooked. Kim x
I admire you so much for what you are doing single handed. Your visions are incredible, I know you are a designer but my oh my everything looks beautiful you should be so very proud of yourself. Well done and good luck for the other future ventures you take on.
Regards
Lynnie from England
The colours on the roof are so beautiful.
Nice summer clothes set. I like the vertical stripes
It seems like all the other Londoners who left (on youtube anyways) went to Scotland or Portugal. But you're a rebel!
The flooring you removed is quite expensive here in Canada, sheet vinyl, makes the best chicken coop floors, worth keeping around for future projects or a tent floor too
Found your channel a few weeks ago
Very excited to see your wild flowers come in, you’ll be able to save all their seeds after they bloom for next years beds too! You can probably save the seeds from your tiny wild flowers already in your meadows on your property. There’s a big push here in the southern USA (georgia) to grow native wildflowers instead of short grass lawns❤
Your matching twin set is sooo cute! What about putting inside slant pockets made from muslin? Would that be an option for them?
So excited to see your home coming along you’ve done so much work in the last two years!!!
cute shorts you could start youre own fashion label,,,Rosie sews lol
A very clever girl, in the woods 😊
I'm looking forward to see the final result. Looks promising
Happy Midsummer Rosie!
I wish I could figure out patterns like you do. What a cute outfit 😍. You can do anything you put your mind to it 😊.
With wood for shelves or crown moulding or framing...it is much easier to stain ot paint them before they are applied...then you only have to touch up where the finishing nails were used
Reading my notes later on in life and trying to figure out what I meant .... So relatable. Lol
