Getting Ready For The Nordic Cold (Story 93)

[@irenestahl1598]

Please use the small normal wood to start your fires with. Don’t throw them away!❤️

[@UnboundedArtandCrafts]

Came here to say the same 😊

[@elizabethsteven9797]

I too was thinking that. So much of it is good kindling for starting a fire.

[@Nannygoat]

I have a hunch all those small pieces of wood, Rosie has in mind a wonderful project!

[@Nannygoat]

Oh Rosie thanks for giving us a peek into your life! Love your enthusiasm!

[@xani666]

It might be treated wood, not all that good at burning

[@2potornot2pot]

Rosie, You should be monthly building birdhouses. If you build one or 2 a month by the end of the year your woods and land will be full of birds which will benefit your garden and land and become a wonderful source of joy for you birdwatching. This is what you do with your tiny and small pieces. A great winter project also. I look forward to seeing your progress. Happy building and progress and lots of Joy!

[@lapleesa]

what a beautiful idea!

[@johnnylarsson9500]

Don`t forget Bathouses .

[@debbievidal9536]

Build them and sell them to your followers

[@Vikingwerk]

Agreed! It’s a great use of small bits of scrap wood!

[@Anne.R..]

… no should, but if she like too … see the different😊

[@angelat4639]

You really could use the little bits of not treated wood for making fires. I think that would work very well.

[@patbrougham9929]

Yes

[@nmbh100]

Hi Rosie. Long term fan here. A tip if you don't know already :) Many old nordic apple sorts can be stored for sometimes month and months if spread out on paper in a cold room. They cannot touch. Taste will keep developing very nicely. My grandma used to do this. Love from Denmark.

[@mariannekooijman4746]

[@lisafoster5939]

My dad used to say, never ever throw wood away. Even the tiniest pieces will burn. Goid for kindling.

[@charonstyxferryman]

You would still need to rid of the pesky pressure-treated wood. It's poisonous, especially the fumes when it's being burned.

[@danielledegeorge2129]

That's what my dad and uncle used to say too. They used to keep even the shavings back in the day. Nowadays everything is poison.

[@āuroseGT]

What I find most amusing about you and your video's, is how you often proceed from one random project to another, because you feel like it. And I think that's amazing, because i believe that truly is what keeps you going so steadily. You focus on what your mind wants to do instead of plowing through one thing continuously. Progress might feel slow at times because of that, but before you know it, you manage to finish one thing after another for a massive feeling of accomplishment. And Rosie, what you accomplish is so very admirable. I wish one day I can find my way to do a similar thing. I'm usually a lurker and silent viewer, but I've been here since the release of your very first Story video, and watched everything ever since. It's kind of like living a dream life through someone else. So thank you Rosie, and I wish you the very best with everything that comes your way! Greetings from the Netherlands. Zweden mag in haar handjes knijpen met zo'n aanwinst!

Ha ha it amuses me greatly too as I’m the same and it reassures me to learn I’m not alone in my scattergun approach to projects 😂

[@chickenlady3155]

You can never have too much firewood.

[@SindyBoyle]

As for the left over scrap wood. Many years ago my son was introduced to 'whittling' by his Grandfather [lots of YT tutorials]. He started off with wooden spoons and now we have little mice birds, vines, flowers and bugs adorning the wood frames and supports of the porch bed frames and the stair rail etc, treated or untreated wood is good for this. They are not perfect, you can buy the perfect one's machine made but to me everyone of them tells a story because my [now adult] son and his Grandad [long gone now] spent long winter days making them and telling stories as they did so. It also greatly adds to the aesthetics of functional mundane wooden items.

[@coastaljan6193]

Love your story. Thanks for sharing.

I’m really happy that you’re actually restoring and keeping the swedish theme while you’re renovating, it looks amazing and so cozy

[@patbrougham9929]

Very much my thought.

[@Juliegriffiths1]

Rosie. At the end of the video - when putting the last window in - even the tape you put on the glass of your windows to protect the glass looked uniform. You really do pay attention to the details and how you do them. I thought it was a design on the glass then realized it was the tape 😂❤

[@inessantos2217]

Same thought. I even liked it better with the tape

[@dragonfly2966]

@@Juliegriffiths1 genuinely thought the same, I thought Rosie created a winter pattern 🤣

[@knolltop314]

Keeping small bits of wood . . . a bane of all woodworkers.

[@SusanBuckingham-ut2ez]

Yes, I often hand paint little things on them, encouraging words, flowers, busy work, exercising my imagination.

[@user-Sleepy]

Upfront it depends on what you make, and assuming not small items trinkets like jewelry boxes or cutting boards, pieces smaller then elbow to finger tips probably best for firewood (species depending). But agreed it is always the mental argument “I can definitely use this somewhere”.

[@guzziwheeler]

Yep! And that is why once in a year i head to my (non professional) wood shop to sort out, and then (almost) every piece of wood under 40cm (16 inches) has to go (into the oven). I always feel better after this.

[@avivat3010]

Rosie, what a beautiful post! I want to tell you how much I appreciate what you do. I look forward to seeing what you've been up to and delight in the artistry not only of everything you make, but the movies themselves. Your posts are small movies that take us through your days in such a beautiful way. Your property is now a beautiful home. I am calmed by your posts. Your calm is catching! Thank you so much for the beauty of you. I hope you have a good couple of weeks.

Throwing wood away, is like throwing money away, look at all the wonderful things you can do with them, you can make candle holders, picture frames, bird house, bookends, planter boxes, wooden spoons, etc. Sometimes, just gluing the pieces together will give you many options. Keep making videos.

[@emmamccarter4118]

the (16:45) "Things have spiraled" moment is both the most relatable and hilarious thing I've ever seen in a Vlog.

Sunday morning starts with watching your video as soon as you show up, coffee in hand and cuddled up with the cats on the sofa. You are the most talented woman I know. In the woodwork and tool handling department I mean. Gee! If I didn't see you do the work, I could swear you have a team of carpenters hidden in the woodshed!

[@elizabethmckenzie6977]

Good Morning Rosie. I love your beautiful videos. You should be so proud of what you have accomplished and you will be nice and warm, a lovely change from your first winter. We are all proud of you, you are young woman who did this by yourself. To all young girls , you can do what ever, just go for it.

"Desperatley happy"! I love it. More than enough firewood for the winter is a good thing. Thanks as always.

[@Evelinerenders]

Am I the only one who loves the little shapes that the tape made on the windows??? I know it would be unnecessary and a lot of extra work, but these days, we dont make things as pretty as people did in the past. I love looking at all the intricate details of old architecture. It brings me so much joy.

You do such a beautiful job capturing your journey and I'm always so impressed with how much you seem to get done every week (along with filming and editing everything!) I laughed when you were talking about how tricky that box was turning out to be - i feel like every project seems to be like that for me :) I seriously wish I could sit down with you over a cup of coffee to talk about all the things! Thank you for sharing your story with us. Sending love from my corner of the world to yours 🧡

[@wildaltarose]

You are so precise in everything you do, even your list is written perfectly. There really isn’t any reason to get rid of your wood yet. You still have a few projects to do and you just never know you might need tiny bits. Thank you for always showing me how to do things with intention to do it the best possible.

[@kayalford6746]

I get so excited when I see a new video from you. The shot from above showed the great changes you have made to the outside. Seeing you make a list and accomplish wash task is so satisfying.

Shoutout to a land down under from Germany!

[@PeHa108]

It is nice that you chose green! In contrast to the iconic "Falu red" of the outer walls, the traditional shade of green used for Swedish cottage doors and widows is a deep, muted tone, often reminiscent of forest or moss green. I prefer a darker shade, but that is a matter of choice, of course. Red and green are considered complementary colors because they are opposite each other on the color wheel. When placed next to each other, they create a vibrant contrast, making both colors appear more intense. This relationship is often used in design, art, and fashion to create visual interest and balance. Complementary colors, like red and green, can also neutralize each other when mixed in equal proportions, resulting in a more muted or brownish color. This concept is rooted in color theory and plays a key role in how we perceive color harmony. This earthy color harmonizes beautifully with the natural surroundings of Sweden’s rural landscapes. It is not a bright or vibrant hue, but rather a subdued, timeless shade that complements the rustic, natural aesthetic of Swedish cottages. This particular green has been a beloved choice for centuries and continues to adorn cottages across Sweden today.

Dear Rosie, I have been enjoying your videos for quite a while. Ever since you first looked for places in Sweden. The many building projects are so inspiring for a young woman to do. Some of your projects needed more complex tools and you have done so much with what you have. The videos show how you have successfully planned and produced very useful and needed items. The porch you just finished is wonderful and the sunshine in the mornings will be a joy to have. Looking forward to your next project. God bless and good bye ~Debi in Ohio, USA
