My favourite grounding activity is watching or listening to you do crafts, it's just so peaceful.

[@Maistra13]

Aside from watching ASMR, I really enjoy doing jigsaw puzzles or papercrafting (making cards, etc.). I love getting in that flow or meditative state when you are truly in the present moment.

[@Sandokir]

Will you please keep us updated about this terrarium? Thanks for the video ❤

[@Marijn-]

I am currently in the process of creating a background for my paludarium (90 cm x 90 cm x 45 cm). I love putting together an aquascape or the landscaping in a terrarium (though often big enough so it makes a good home for some fish, shrimp, isopods or in this paludarium my first small reptiles. They are social lizards and benefit from having others of their species around so they can be put together unlike a lot of other reptile species.)

[@aprilwhite515]

I crochet for my waking meditation. I watch your videos for relaxation before bed. Thank you!

[@WhispersRedASMR]

There is a beautiful stillness in your sound which I enjoy so much 💜 It's so calming and this video is wonderful! Thank you

[@kristak4920]

Diane’s voice reminds me of yours Emma ❤ You both use silence as part of the conversation…immensely relaxing and grounding!

[@moonrabbitasmr]

Also your setups are unmatched!! ❤ so much thought and detail

[@Katies_Modern_Life]

[@justonearepa]

This is such a lovely way of describing it

[@Alinda1308]

You know, one of the main things I love the most about your videos is the attention you put onto everything. You take your time in order to think about your project, you pay attention to the materials and their disposition, etc... I think it's because I'm so used to see people go fast about everything, so it has a very calming effect on me watching you taking all the time you need in order to ponder and realize your projects

[@scottfarley3644]

Diane, I can't explain it, but you make me want to be a better person. In you're own way you are making the world a better place. Thank you.

[@bobbyscott5162]

Well said. I agree.

[@TJ-1234]

That is actually so sweet. Like it sounds corny as hell but it’s actually true with her. You can just feel just from a screen even that she’s a really good person

[@Anonymous594]

@@TJ-1234sweet like ketchup, honey, syrup, and mayonnaise!

[@althereal]

Please keep us updated with this terrarium through time !

[@MoonlightCottageASMR]

I'll probably post a pic on Instagram in a few weeks :)

[@foxeddraws]

Please post some stuff here for those of us who can only view you here :)

[@RaposaVermelhaOff]

😊

[@Level1Hera]

⁠how's the terrarium going?

[@avo3ad0]

I love how modest you are. "I'm not very good with moss types" and then proceeds to name several moss types. As someone who lives in the Sonoran Desert, I didn't even realize there were that many types of moss that you could collect in one area!

[@victxoria]

it’s official; you’ve become my melatonin lol. I cannot fall asleep for the life of me unless I’ve got one of your videos playing; everytime you upload a new one, it feels like a little gift from the sleep gods. thankyou for everything that you do 🖤

[@AutumnCozy]

It's cold where I am today, so it's the perfect time to enjoy a Cozy Basics video! Love these so much! I'm at the sketching part now and . . . 😴 So good!

[@ohlook6222]

I envy you so much. Its still above 100f where I live

[@SoHereASMR]

This is exactly what being in the ASMR community is all about! It can be hard to be creative in a space where SO much has been done. But no matter what, new ideas are still out there!!!

[@variansloth]

i can be bit of a perfectionist, so the calm "it's my first time, so we're allowed some mistakes" really help. and still such a cute result

[@ВикторияПотулова]

Этот террариум- маленький мир с вашей душой в нем ,маленькая сказка ,которую каждый напишет по своему) я переживала за каждый кусочек моха,за каждый камешек вместе с вами ,чтобы он нашел свое нужное место 😊это так трогательно и прекрасно, как и вы, Диана❤

[@happykim1991]

It's 4am. Now I can sleep😊❤ Always thank you for your high-quality ASMR video.

[@WhisperByDesignASMR]

Wow the aesthetic of this video is amazing! Your really motivating me to make even better videos!😁

[@michaelgray7768]

Amazing the number of magical worlds you conjour up !! I hope your own world is even nearly as magical 👍😀🧚‍♀️

[@ДмитрийБожонок-п5щ]

Боже мой, какая удивительная сказка, Вы просто умничка, увидел Ваши видео и сразу очутился в сказке, особенно в лавке Оливандера понравилось. Спасибо, Вы настоящая волшебница! Удачи вам и развитие Вашему каналу!

[@vivilovr]

thank you🥺 its 2am here and i just cant fall asleep properly these days your videos are such a comfort

[@breathoffresherin9066]

I really liked the stone and rock sounds in this video. The crunchy sounds when you scooped the gravel and clacking sounds when sorting the stones. Your soft and gentle way of doing things made it very tingly and relaxing. Thank you.

[@J-zb1nh]

Molly. I very much liked it when you said what moss you didn’t use, you would put back in the forest. As always, a delightful video and you have a wonderful sense of humour- ‘it’s a mess, but it’s a pretty mess’. Utterly charming.

[@amandatorigiani3820]

When I first moved to the Pacific Northwest, I did tons of walking, picture taking, etc. But I loved gathering leaves, bits of moss, and blooms. I'd curl up with a book at home and look up what I found. Your gathering the moss reminded me of those days.

[@luasimon]

I picture you as someone who could be my mother and for me that makes your videos truly special ❤ I feel accompanied and cared for while I'm alone 🫶🏻

[@marsviolets4651]

I love terrariums so much, either with plants or their figurative twin, dioramas, so I clicked fast and you touching the moss gave me goosebumps right away 🥰

[@GLOW.UP430]

I love these outdoor videos with you. It's just heaven seeing and hearing how you see nature. Thank you Diane!

[@aishajones7643]

We need a whole episode of a green garden of you talking to plants! I loved this! ♥️ thank you for uploading

[@Follow.the.Light.11]

Ahhhwe when she said "that's cute" my heart did a happy jump, to hear she likes her artwork 🙌✨🌈🤍🫶🤗

[@Jesseisboredbad]

all these beautiful green moss makes me want to go to the forest and walk barefoot in the grass, lay down on the earth and just embrace it, feel its energy. I remember, distantly but still, how it felt to be surrounded by nature and how it felt to touch it. It's calming. It brings peace to the soul and the heart. And calms the stormy minds. I think i've been in the city long enough. Thank you for such a calming video! Lots of love.

[@MelissaSimic]

Yes 🙏🏼

[@jadedmind7634]

Oh gosh I could listen to you speak about anything and everything for hours. Your voice is so fluid and beautiful and your accent makes everything just sound so calming and soothing.

[@WaynesWorldUnlimited]

I love ASMR, I’ve rely on it every day. And I’ve always wanted to make one of these kind of gardens, so this is great.

[@AnmariFilms]

This is a lovely DIY tutorial. Thank you. I think you first terrarium turned out wonderfully!

[@zachattackasmr]

How do you continually make the most aesthetically pleasing videos ever? Keep up the great work

[@JaneNourDillinger]

When you speak of the mossy forest, I imagine something like "La Forêt de Brocéliande" in "La Bretagne". I am convinced that you must be Breton anyway... this talent for telling stories and creating atmosphere... very special and very Breton and of course wonderful! We are very blessed to have you share your life and ideas with us.

[@Althein]

This has been soothing to my soul. Thanks for all you do... we see you through your work. We see who you are. Thank you, thank you, thank you !!! 💚

[@ironeez]

The lighting of this video was a radiant soft glow and perfect. Like a canvas.

[@crunchx3254]

Your relaxing voice and demeanor almost reminds me of Bob Ross! This video very reminiscent of the way he created his own mini forests or scenery. Thanks for sharing this awesome video!

[@Zianika-smile]

You are such an artist. I just love your soft voice and the way you arrange things with your hands. You're one of my favorite ASMR creator's. Thank you for making these awesome video's.

[@Anita-rq9ev]

Your work keeps on being exceptionally good. I adore your work, it's always a pleasure to watch. Love your soothing voice and manners. Thank you Diane 🙏

[@kimberlykozlowski312]

I absolutely love everything about this video! Your voice is so calming and watching you create this terrarium makes me want to give it a try too. Just beautiful!

[@VintageToysASMR]

I love that this video is not only relaxing, but educational too! 🌱 Stunning video as usual💕

[@kasandraontiverosespana2229]

I really love the way in how you explain every detail on your video, your lenguaje is so gently. Your videos helping me a lot on improve my English at the same time am enjoyoing your asmr art.

[@fightingtosurvive6527]

[@АннаТ-ж1п]

Как всегда превосходно . Ваши видео это сплошное восхищение и красота !!! ❤

[@faydefellegs853]

Doesn’t matter what she does but she always makes the best asmr movies. Also she has video s nobody else have so it makes it more magical and special

[@stacymartjimenez]

I have more than a week trying to watch this video completely, but I fall asleep all the time! Love it!

[@emiliahalstead49]

The cuteness level is a factor of ten! ❤🏡🖼

[@skaylou_]

The fact that I got obsessed and watched hours of terrariums content just a few day before the video came out makes it even better to me, thanks for this enchanting experience 💛

[@sushifiggy]

I like the window, but what another unusual and fun project from the gifted mind of Diane and her Moonlight Cottage. This is one of my favorite hangouts ❤

[@badwolf2665]

it's a gift to speak so softly and a real joy to hear every sound of this magic ✨

[@corinaarhip-rossi1192]

Literaly, had insomnia, you spoke your first words and almoste fell asleep on the spot. Thank you!

[@ute-beada]

Thank you for your inspiration ❤️🏵️

[@Radartista65]

I really can't live without your videos! My real disconnection from the everyday world is to work on my crafts at home and participate in artisan fairs on weekends. I make dreamcatchers and mandalas.

[@williamwilde5241]

You are the Grandmaster of ASMR arts, I bow to you.

[@kimberlyf.4130]

I really love these tutorials, not only are they relaxing but they have such unique and intriguing information. If I can learn something new and get a good night's sleep that's the best.

[@sofiaramirez803]

Fue una hermosa idea y una hermosa experiencia disfrutar del asmr mientras lo armabas! Quedo precioso el terrario y hasta me dieron ganas de hacer uno!!

[@winterplague]

I got so many dopamine hits from this video - when you put the first stone on top of the first for the stairs, when you put the tiny plants in, and seeing the finished product with the "tree" sticking out of the front of the tiny hill. It's so cute! I also appreciated hearing you go through the crafting process since I feel we all doubt the work while we're doing it, especially since it was your first time (and on video - I couldn't do that). You're really patient with yourself though and I think it feels whimsical.

[@jenjustjenn]

Such a relaxing video, I adore this type of ASMR relaxing and educational ❤❤ thank you for this beautiful content x

[@aki_7778]

Only you can make me watch a video this long without losing focus... your videos help me a lot, both to fall asleep and give me comfort in difficult times. Thank you for your art ❤

[@sushifiggy]

Oh my goodness I am starstruck! My two favorite ASMRartists TALKING TO EACH OTHER IN FRONT OF MY EYES. Moonlight Cottage and WhispersRED! ❤ a (waking) dream come true! Thank you!

[@jacquelinemcgowan8164]

You are so talented and great at asmr no silly mouth sounds and silly tapping, you are so above most asmr, thankyou the terranium looks amasing ❤❤❤❤❤

[@evewithwonder]

I'm the opposite of a plant parent, but I really want to make a terrarium after this video. Seems like a very zen thing to do, and really beautiful to look at afterwards

[@Atoz-z7q]

I adore everything about this I can't wait to see the next one you make please make this a series ❤

[@jessicacanfield5058]

Thank you for this lively video. I love your voice and it is very nice to fall to sleep by. The only problem is a lot of your videos I want to watch and your voice is so soothing i fall asleep lol

This is a lovely video! I didn’t think making a terrarium could be so relaxing. I hope you do a video with an update on this one while also making another terrarium for us to have more inspiration ❤️

[@Kay-mj5qm]

The quality of your work is amazing!!!!!!

[@katiem6773]

Diane, you make the most beautiful and relaxing videos. I love the door and window. Your versatility amazes me. Enjoyed this so much.

[@artsystray9746]

So glad I found your videos. So relaxing but also imaginative and so beautifully presented. Thank you.

[@stellarcrisp6284]

You’ve saved me today. I’m very anxiety riddled and miserable lately but this has relaxed me into being human again! Thank you. ❤

[@crispypasta]

i really love how messy the mossy part looks! its like your very own tiny forest! 🥰

[@thenaandtheaspins]

I love your content so much! Helps me relax and sleep. I am extremely stressed because I am preparing for my bar exam. I am beyond grateful for your content, Diane ❤

[@LeaMäkinen-v3b]

Thank you so much. This is a beautiful and well done video, as all your videos are. I enjoy to watch all of them.

[@lisacasa875]

Wow you created such a beautiful little garden and delivered this in your unique calming way that literally brings the viewer peace and tranquility….really inspiring creation and want to make one now too! I loved your little steps to the door and the roots of the tree gave so much character, so beautiful ❤ thank you 🙏

[@sbmenard7374]

Fascinating and so so calming. Your voice and slow pace are incredibly soothing. Thank you:)

[@JoseRamos-dp4dy]

[@annabelle7123]

Who knew the moss and the plants could sound so tingly! 😊

[@francesca5571]

The Chirping of the birds at the beginning was so amazing, it felt like I was there with you, while picking up the moss. And I loved it. You are so talented and the cozy vibe is so calming.

[@hee__so]

I came to watch the video today. There's Korean in the subtitles! 🥰Thanks a lot. 🥹 Now I can watch your video with a better understanding. I can wrap up the day with a happy heart. ❤Thank you.

[@asyikinrasid1686]

The symphony sound of nature project was just perfect in your own way, Miss Moonlight. Lovely❤

[@finelimedesigns]

I love all your videos but this might be my all time favourite. I had to watch it multiple times because it was so calming I kept falling asleep. But I had to know how it turned out! Just lovely and such attention to detail. Plus plants are always extra calming!

[@chiarab8625]

This is so magnificent I cannot believe it's only the first time you've made a terranium! It was amazing watching you wrok and seeing the final result❤

[@gaillove6005]

This is a wonderful video. So relaxing and so informative at the same time. I really enjoyed watching this.

[@anotherjellyfish1450]

This was so satisfying to watch and the end result is lovely. I hope you'll consider making more videos like this one.

[@vincentkohlumcfan22]

Omg this is so refreshing Diane! It brings back memories from the biology project I did. It’s also a very unique video since I’ve never seen such videos before in the ASMR industry. Quite motivational and inspiring for me to continue doing real train ASMR videos ❤

[@pjl2963]

Absolutely precious, Diane! I knew it would be a work of art, if you created it!

[@Imberis]

I don't know how you do it, but your videos are all just so beautiful. And they have wonderful sound! I had to edit because it was so cute when you said "Here we go, lad" to the little tree.

[@zackerythomas3675]

The perfectly themed video for me to watch on this peaceful Sunday evening. Such pleasant and subtle comforting set visuals and sounds that are so suited to my present state of mind and the environment in which I find myself. 👌👍
