the Rosemary Star is beautiful!! i'll have to remember that for next year : ) 🎄
That's so kind of you to say thank you! I'm so happy you liked it. Rosemary is one of my favourites, so I couldn't help but include it in the decorating. I will be sure to share many more ideas closer to the season. Thanks for watching.
Thank you for another beautiful video Sirena. I’ve bought the ebook and look forward to making many of the items ❤
Thank you so much, sweet friend! I hope it brings you many years of crafty comfort during the holidays!! ♥️
I am a first time viewer and have been reminded of what I use to be...somehow with life's ups and downs I let my simple creativity slowly slip away year after year, watching your video has made me want it back. TY
You not alone there darling. I felt the same. From today I am rekindling the long forgotten me.
Bless your heart and find you again. With love and blessings 💕🙏
Thank you so much for sharing this with me-it truly means the world to know I’ve inspired you in some way. Life has a way of pulling us in so many directions, and it’s easy for those creative parts of ourselves to get tucked away. But the beautiful thing about creativity is that it’s always there, waiting for us to return when the time is right.
I’m so happy my video could spark that feeling for you. Wishing you so much joy as you reconnect with the simple, creative moments that bring you happiness. Thank you for letting me be a small part of your journey! ♥️
Dankeschön für die Inspirationen & die Entspannung in diesem Video. Lieben Gruß 🕯🕯🕯🌟
Thank you so much for watching! I'm so happy this video found its way to you and offered a relaxing moment. Wishing you all the coziness of the season.
Your sharing of these sweet, reflective ideas is a gift, too ❤
That is so very kind of you to say thank you, sweet friend!! Wishing you the coziest Christmas, with lots of time for knitting and spinning. ♥️ ♥️ ♥️
🍃Mother Earth surrounds us in every season…but this season is special with its stark contrast…and beautiful scents…we can invite their healing 🍃powers into our homes….beautiful video…thank you…🍃
What a beautiful sentiment-Mother Earth’s gifts truly are special this time of year. I’m so happy the video resonated with you. Thank you so much for watching. Wishing you a season full of peace and beauty!
The smell of a hot glue gun will always remind me of childhood Christmases making ornaments with my mom. Thank you for sharing this 🎄❤️🎄Happy Holidays!
Thank you for sharing that-How wonderful! It’s amazing how something as simple as the smell of a hot glue gun can take you right back to those special moments. I’m so glad my video could bring that to mind for you. Wishing you so much happiness for the year ahead. ♥️
How lovely!! Thank you for sharing, I LOVE the fire starters! What a great idea!
Thank you so much! ♥️ I'm so thrilled you loved those. They even make a great little gift when packaged in a cute mason jar or box. I often give them to friends who enjoy sitting around the fire. - Chat soon. ☺️
Which a lovely video and beautiful ideas 🌲 Have a wonderful Christmas 🎉
Thank you for so many beautiful project ideas ❤ (and for the bonus Walter snuggles!!) - Everything from the decorations to the scenery to the music is just gorgeous !
Thank you so much, Val, for spending some time with me again. I'm so happy you enjoyed these handmade ideas, and I’m glad Walter’s snuggles added a little extra joy. ☺️ Wishing you a holiday season filled with creativity and so much coziness! ♥️
Beautiful video, thank you for sharing 😊
Thank you so much for being here! ♥️
This was so special and gorgeous. I loved watching all the crafting!
That truly means so much! Thank you for being here, I'm so happy you enjoyed it, and I can't wait to share more with you. ♥️
I just got home from a long, stressful day. This video popped up, and I'm so glad I stayed to watch til the end. I enjoyed every heart-warming moment. I found it to be soothing and calming. Wonderful choices of music. The kiss on the dog's forehead was the best. I will come back to visit. Thank you ❤.
I’m so glad this video could bring you a moment of peace after hard day. Thank you for taking the time to leave this comment. Your kind words mean so much to me, and I’m thrilled you enjoyed the music and little moments like the the one with Walter. Sending you so much warmth and calm this holiday season! ♥️
Very cozy, calming and beautiful Christmas decorations! Foraging and spending time in Nature nourishes the soul. Thanks for sharing your creativity with Nature finds! Beautiful Dog! Merry Christmas! 🎄🕯️❄️☃️
Thank you so much for being here! I couldn’t agree more-spending time in nature truly does nourish the soul. I’m so glad you enjoyed the decorations and Walter’s presence in the video. Wishing you a very Merry Christmas. ✨♥️🌲
Such a beautiful video! I love all your creative, simple, cozy, fun decorating ideas! Thank you for sharing. I too desire to step away from the expectations of what commercial Christmas has become. I love the idea of making the bags.
Thank you so much for your kind words-I completely understand where you’re coming from. Even if we find small ways it can make such a difference. Switching to drawstring bags has been a game-changer for me.
Not only do they save a lot of money in the long run (wrapping paper has gotten so expensive and seems so wasteful!), but they also save so much time. It’s such a simple shift, but it’s made Christmas feel more meaningful and less stressful. I’m so glad the idea resonated with you, and I hope it brings the same ease and joy to your celebrations. Thank you again for your lovely comment! ♥️
How lovely to be able to find all those beautiful greens and other gifts from nature to make your decorations. First time finding your channel and I thoroughly enjoyed this video.
I'm so happy you enjoyed it! Thank you so much for watching! ♥️
Lovely video! ❤
Thank you so much for watching!! ♥️
That paper chain is incredible 🥰
Thank you so much. I'm so glad you liked it! I think next year, I'm going to try to make a few fabric ones that will last much longer. Thanks for watching. ♥️
What a gorgeous video, my friend. ❤
That is so kind of you to say! Thank you so much for watching, my friend. Xo ♥️
I literally welled up for how beautiful this video is. It will now become the FIRST thing I watch/do when christmas planning. I am utterly inspired by you. ❤
Merriest Christmas to you dear Sirena.
Now I'm crying! -thank you so much for these kind words. I’m so deeply touched that this video has inspired you and will become a part of your Christmas planning and traditions. Wishing you the merriest Christmas, filled with so much warmth and joy! Love you tons, sweet friend. xo

New subscriber ❤.... love your content ✨️. Greetings from Canada 🇨🇦 😀
Greetings from Vancouver Island!! 💫 Thank you so much for being here and for your kind words!! ♥️
You always have such great ideas. I love the peppermints!
That's so kind of you to say. Thank you so much! Aren't they just so adorable? I thought they would make the cutest garland. ♥️
Oh I love your channel! Great ideas! Thank you!❤
This means so much! Thank you for being here, I can't wait to share more with you. ♥️
Sirena, I came across your channel yesterday and have basically binge watched most of your videos now. 😅 Just wanted to comment and say thanks for your beautiful content. We share many of the same interests, however I have four young children (whom I am homeschooling) so I am rather limited in how many of those interests I can pursue in this current season. I know it is just a season though, and I am enjoying it for what it is, but I do also look forward to when my children are a bit older and I have more time and capacity for doing alllll the things. For now, I will enjoy living vicariously through your videos as I take a quiet moment to do some knitting during nap time. 😌
What a beautiful and heartfelt comment-thank you so much for being here and for taking the time to share this with me. I completely understand where you’re coming from. As a mom of three, I know all too well how life shifts in seasons. Some seasons are fuller than others, and finding joy in the one you’re in is so important, even when it feels like there’s not enough time for everything you love.
I still create in seasons myself-when spring arrives, the garden takes over, and my focus shifts entirely to tending and growing. During those months, quieter indoor crafts like Spinning and weaving often get set aside until the cooler months return.
It’s such a gift that you’re able to embrace this precious time with your children, even as you look forward to the days when your creative interests can bloom in new ways. I’m so glad my videos can bring a bit of inspiration and joy into your moments of rest (and knitting during nap time sounds like perfection). Thank you again for your kind words-it truly means so much. ♥️
@ Thank-you for taking the time to craft a beautiful reply ☺️💛
Lovely video. I’m enjoying my ebook-I printed it and bound it with yarn. I’m going to keep it with my Christmas items so I can refer to it in years to come. Happy Holidays! 🥰
Thank you so much! That’s such a wonderful idea to bind the ebook with yarn and keep it with your Christmas treasures! I’m so glad you’re enjoying it, and I hope it brings you joy and inspiration for many years to come. Wishing you the happiest of holidays! ♥️
Thank you for sharing such a beautiful video. Merry Christmas to you and your family.🎄
That is so kind of you to say. Thank you so much for being here! Wishing you the coziest Christmas. ♥️
Amazing Video!!! Definitely A Peaceful Setting!
I'm so happy you think so. Thank you so much for watching.
@wild_inthe_woods Absolutely, You're very very welcome!
Thank you for sharing ❤Nice video and wonderful crafts!!! Merry Xmas 🎄
Thank you for being here! I'm so thrilled you enjoyed it. Wishing you a very Merry Christmas. ♥️
Dear Sirena.. I was just hoping you would have a video of this very topic. I'm doing more projects using bits of Nature this year and you've given me new ideas. I love the rosemary star and idea of gluing orange slices to little clothes pins for hanging. Perfect timing because I dehydrated way to many oranges and I have a beautiful rosemary bush.🌲 Every idea was filled with your love and I wish you and your family many Blessings this Winter Solstice ( your property is beautiful in all seasons )
My dear friend, I’m so glad this video came at just the right time! I love that you’re incorporating nature into your projects this year, and I know exactly what you mean, as I usually make too many dried oranges as well. But the clothes pegs on the back do come in handy and allow you to add them to many more places or gifts. I hope you enjoy creating these projects, and they allow for a few calm moments of joy. Wishing you many solstice blessings and all the warmth this season brings.
Beautiful! ❤
Thank you so much! ♥️

Thank you! ♥️
Just found your channel today and subscribed.
That means so much. Thank you for being here!! I'm looking forward to sharing many more videos.
❤️🙏🏿👌
Thank you for watching! :)
Hello! I love everything about your video. The only complaint is the writing is pretty small,I had a hard time reading it😊..but music,scenery,and crafts are all lovely.
Thank you so much for watching and for the feedback. The writing is a bit tricky, as it appears differently on different screen sizes. However, I will keep that in mind for the next one. Thanks for being here. 🥰
Just watched your video Sirena, absolutely lovely and I love all of your ideas. Was it rosemary that you attached to the popsicle star (which I love and want to make one). Have an amazing Christmas and New Years and hopefully we can get together soon. Margaret.
Dearest Margaret, Thank you so much, sweet friend, for watching. I'm so thrilled you enjoyed it. Yes, it was Rosemary. You can, of course, use any greenery, but I just love the way the rosemary smells. I hope you enjoy making one. I would love to catch up soon, it's been way too long. Wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas. ♥️
Merry Christmas Sirena ✨🎄✨
Where are you located? West-coast?
Merry Christmas from Vancouver Island. Thank you so much for watching. ♥️
Hi, just stumbled upon your beautiful video. Can you tell me what kind of white marker you're using for the gingerbread/cardboard tags? Thank you!
Thank you so much for watching! Of course, I used a white Sharpie oil-based Paint marker. You can find them in most craft stores or online. - I hope you enjoy making them. Happy Holidays.
This was so wonderful! How very fortunate to live amongst such beauty! I would love this❤ Merry Christmas!!!!🎄
Where did you get your canvas Christmas sacks?
Thank you so much for watching! I bought these plain cotton drawstring bags and screen-printed the images on the fronts myself. You can usually find them at craft stores, like Michaels, or at most big box stores online.
@@wild_inthe_woods Great idea and there so pretty.
