[@MakeSomethingwithAmy]

You are my favorite crafting companion! I love your gentle spirit, your comforting voice and everything you make. I want to say thank you for sharing your little corner of the world with us.

[@jrenewermelinger2156]

Dear Rosanna your are very creative and you have great ideas! I think it`s nice when you think of lovely people who are no longes with us, especially now during the christmas season. We can learn a lot from these people! Thanks for your beautiful video and for your Time. I love all of them!! Love Jrène✴☃🎁🎀🎄🎇

[@milliedk]

LOVE LOVE LOVE your videos. Your voice is so sweet and soothing. Please don't make excuses for long videos. I can only speak for myself, but I LOVE long videos. I create along with you and you are so talented at what you do. Sending you a great big hug across the pond. 🌲🎅

[@janicehoughtelling5137]

Long videos are great when you explain the steps so we can see it as you make your own things

[@MeNotYou72]

It could've been one detailed instruction part at the beginning with one piece, and the rest of the video a "craft/talk with me" portion. I agree

[@lori4845]

Would love a video on the cardboard gingerbread house with details and the top hat!

[@nessiemonstercrafts]

I cannot express how much enjoyment I get from your videos. You are so inspiring and even when you are struggling with your anxiety, your manner is so calming and your creations are simply charming. Thank you so much, and I wish there was a way for me to take the anxiety away for you, as you do for me. I hope you feel better x

[@catherinewells2480]

As one of your "older ladies" i just wanted to say that i had a very enjoyable time yesterday making mini christmas puddings to hang on a mini christmas tree I inherited from my late mother. Thank you for sharing this enjoyable tutorial. Best wishes from the UK ❤

[@sm3296]

This lovely video helped bring me some peace today. Thank you. This has been a lovely treat. This older lady is inspired by you! I’ve already made my first mouse, well he does look a bit more like a rat, but an adorable one. I’ll be making him a pudding to run off with. Have a lovely day, sweet girl.

[@Rosannamakes]

Oh I love that you are making a pudding for your little rat! 😊 thank you so much for leaving a comment and letting me know you made something! ❤

[@sm3296]

@ Rosanna, I have a fifteen year old girl from Spain staying with me this school year. We are making quite a few now, she loves it too. Our Christmas tree looks too pretty and perfect, so we think our happy little mice and rat will add humour to it. I’m making clothes too. This is so fun. 🤩

[@brendafalk5162]

Adore your videos! You are such an artist, and I am a lover of miniatures. Mine is a special request maybe for sometime in the coming year. I would love for you to make little sheep. I am going to give it a try on my own, but watching you would be inspiring. As a Christian, sheep, and believers being His sheep, has special significance. Thank you for your videos, and no pressure on my request. With all your instructions for the other animals, I have lots of your instructions to draw from. 🙂

[@donnajohnson9834]

What precious memories. Thanks for sharing. Yes, losing those grand ladies is a turning point in one’s life. It’s wonderful to “ re-member” them- have them with us again- in the crafts they gave to us. Amazing the flood of memory in a simple gold tie.

[@saraink55]

What a pleasure to have discovered you and your lovely work. Thank you from the UK. Your little creatures make my heart sing, you are very talented.

[@lisalauria6070]

Dear Rosanna, I so enjoy your sweetness and your calming voice, I must say you made me tear up with your sweet memories of your aunt. I wish you and your family happiness through the holidays

[@susanb.4965]

I can’t begin to describe to you the joy your beautiful creations give me! By following your passion you shine your light brightly for others. Thank you.🙏🏼✨💖✨

Thank you for sharing about your mental health, and for sharing the lovely coping strategies! You create a manically and joyful world in miniature!

[@CathyLynnCaldwell]

I was trying to say “magical” Sorry about that!

[@remnanttradingco]

i'm grateful to have discovered you today. the atmosphere you create is exactly what i was wishing for! thank you for the story at the end. wishing you a warm and light holiday season ☃️

That's someone 😅my ADD brain can't absorb information so stretched out. I wish I was not this way

[@Olhamo]

i like the "rinky-dink" way you did the tinsel pipe cleaner wreathe. i love that oxidized wire!

[@amberclemons-lopez7220]

I love watching you create! Thank you for sharing your pearls of wisdom. 🌸

[@alessandrapestrin9130]

Dear Rosanna, I love every single thing you make, your creations are pure beauty and poetry. Every time I watch your videos my heart gets full of joy and I feel better for the rest of the day, you certainly are therapeutic. Warmest wishes for a very happy and peaceful Christmas ❤ Hugs from Italy

Hi Roseanna, you are so creative, I loved your video. ♥️

[@bonniealvarez5510]

You're just the sweetest person ever.

[@YesPickles]

These are such lovely little mindful projects!

[@daphnerobichaux-overton3571]

Hi Rosanna 😍 I have always enjoyed your videos! I love how you incorporate music and especially the selections for this make along video! I have to admit you brought me to tears! I so appreciate you sharing yourself and the reason behind your magical creations. I wasn’t quite sure if I was of grand Lady status but since you clarified that I’m not, I feel quite young now! lol! Rosanna, you have been blessed to be inspired by so many wonderful women in your life! Thank you for sharing your creativity and inspiration with us! Happy Fabulous 2025! 💖

[@Rosannamakes]

Ohh, thank you Daphne! I do spend quite a bit of time looking for decent royalty free music, my taste is kind of specific 😊 I usually think of grand ladies as those in that last chapter of life.. but I'm sure there are exceptions to that rule and my Aunt Lesa would be one because her final chapter came much sooner than most people's does. And because she was just a very Grand Lady ❤️❤️❤️ thanks so much for all your kindness, and I know one day when you're ready, you'll be a grand lady too 🥰

Ohhhhh divinity……such beautiful creations. Thank you for sharing. ❤

[@countryfolkheart]

Wonderful wonderful video. Thank you Rosanna for sharing..i’m in love with the delightful Xmas pudding but everything is just adorable.

[@Eldee3000]

Oohh! what a treat! Another long post! My happy place, thank you! .... I'm definitely going to try creating the gift boxes. For drying I've been sticking my pieces into an old hair dryer bonnet I have and it's been working out great. A bit noisy but effective.

[@browngrl8178]

Thank you for sharing the story at the end. I love your videos and appreciate you sharing a bit of yourself, your creativity, and love for those who made an impact in your life. I can only hope to one day be a grand lady to someone. ❤

[@nocomment4642]

yiu make the cutest things and your videos are so enjoyable.Thank you

[@wendywalker3598]

Oh Rosanna I never want your videos to end! I’m absolutely in your demographic and they remind me of time spent with my nana, mother and aunties who are all crafty and hands on women. I have so many notions, fabrics and trims handed down from them and your art has inspired me to use them in different ways. I’ve been scared to use some of the embroidered pieces in order to keep them in perfect condition but then they just stay in a cupboard and don’t get used or appreciated. I’ve decided to repurpose some to give a new lease of life and be a part of my everyday joy. I’m sure the original makers wouldn’t mind but I will keep a few in mint condition of course to hand down to my children but my teen boys have no interest 😂 your treasures are truly wonderful and your videos are precious. I’m having a make along with friends next week and we’re watching your duck and geese video as we try spun cotton. Would you consider selling a download of the pie book at all please? I’m in the uk and I’d like to print it off in miniature to package with a tiny mince pie as a Christmas ornament gift for family and friends. Thank you so much. ❤

[@debbienorton4951]

Save some. Your son’s wives may appreciate that.😊

[@wendywalker3598]

@@debbienorton4951 I will save some for grand children too of course but there are soooooo many! 🤣

[@wendytaylor3714]

Love your videos. Thank you.

[@suebrown7882]

Lovely decorations! I have four geese currently drying on my radiator....I am going to try to make some mini green Christmas wreaths for round their necks. If anyone struggles with wire hangers, a loop of jute twine glued on would work, also, giving fabric a light coat of dilute pva glue and drying before cutting out shapes will prevent fraying at edges. Trying new ways is part of the fun of crafting - making memories along the way...x❤

[@baileyi4940]

I just discovered your channel and I am so excited! I love your videos! Your voice is so calming and your art is adorable 🤍

[@loria4810]

i just found you the other day! Am i ever glad i did!! i love your work! thank you so much for sharing how to do it!!

[@jackiem9298]

Thank you for sharing your story about your Aunt Lisa. I have lost a lot of my relatives, including my parents..but that's understandable as I am much older than you. I have many fond memories that stay with me very clearly of Christmas. It's nice to honour those memories with crafting. Your videos are very nice and calming to watch and you are very talented. I plan on making some wee mice..they are adorable. ☺ My grand children will love them.

[@judygiesbrecht8297]

I am new here. I wanted to say how much I enjoyed the video. It was absolutely delightful. Thank you for sharing your gifts. ❤🇨🇦

[@bof.930]

I wish everyone could have an Aunt Lisa

[@justcasey5228]

Ooooh! I can’t wait to make these! I worked on a tiny menagerie over the weekend (including a pig I’m super proud of!) using your cornstarch recipe and trying a different method (for me) of doing the base shape, as well as 100% cotton batting torn into pieces for the covering. I can’t wait to make some little accessories to add to these, as I’m making them for my kid’s annual ornaments. I never knew I’d really take to spun cotton like this-thank you for sharing your lovely tutorials! ❤

[@Rosannamakes]

That sounds amazing!! I would love to see that pig ❤🐖❤

[@cheekyllamacreations]

Hi Rosanna, I'm new to this art. I'm a needle felter and bear maker. I'm thinking of starting off with a simple goose and then maybe attempt a Nativity scene for this Christmas 🫣😆 Thank you for sharing your skills 💗🎄🫶🏼

[@pamusa7070]

Your things are so sweet, just an idea, but you should put your little figures in a story book , stage it would be so sweet and be easier than drawing the figures.❤

[@pascaledaniel4863]

So Lovely 😻😻😻ravissant, magnifique ❤️ Thank you for your very moving memories.

[@WillowNook]

Beautiful fun creations Thank you 💕💕💕🎅🏻🎅🏻🎅🏻

[@littlewolf4737]

Happy Holidays to you and yours. Can't wait to receive my kit and start this journey. I absolutely love your work and videos.

[@GayleChione]

I found liquid starch in the laundry department works great.

[@Rosannamakes]

That's a great tip, thank you! ❤

[@laurielaurie8280]

So adorable 🌸

[@IneffableFoxy]

Lovely! Just found your videos and I'm already experimenting with the cotton houses. Could you do a goose video soon? Thank you!

[@hippodilemma]

Try abhyanga for stress relief. It’s basically an oil bath you do yourself and you can do everyday

[@michelleclerc-bretz2404]

Rosanna, if you are feeling anxious do some alternate nostril breathing with long slow breaths or do some deep belly breathing long and slow making the out breath longer than the in breath! Happy holidays I’m enjoying your creativity!

[@craftynita6633]

so adorable-i really want to try this! what is the starch mix ratios? you mentioned cooking it....? will bugs or mice want to nibble on my creations?

[@murmulefy]

❤❤❤

[@karenbreslauer2053]

??? What temperature do you set your oven for drying ??? Love the long videos Your mini pastry are just adorable Thanks 💕

[@Rosannamakes]

I usually heat to 350 F and switch it off but if you want to you can set at 200 or 250 and leave on for 10 to 20 minutes 😊

[@lindaorth9341]

Hi, Do you have a Mushroom cotton video. I tried making one and it was a little bit of a challenge. Lol Thank you. And Happy Thanksgiving 🦃
