let's make little mouse characters while I have an anxiety attack - a calming craft & chat art vlog

- Hello everyone,
Today's make-along is a little different and is definitely NOT going to be for everyone - this is long form in extreme haha :) and I filmed it and kept it long this way because I think it's a good form for specific times or needs, such as when you are having an anxiety attach like I am in this video, or when you're needing company or wishing you could have a cup of tea with a friend.. or maybe you just want something on in the background while you garden or craft or do any kind of work.
I don't consider this a tutorial, although you can certainly learn some things about spun cotton and perhaps see some new techniques. This is a process video that is intended to inspire your own original creative projects and efforts and it might even be enjoyable to some folks who will never try spun cotton at all but just enjoy watching or listening to someone make things.
If you're looking for a quicker, easier way to dress your little figures, I am working on a MUCH shorter video where we make very simple garments from several different materials and I hope to release that in the next few weeks.
As always, I welcome your well-intentioned comments and constructive criticisms as well as suggestions or questions.
Thank you so much for your kindness and support -
Happy making to you -
xo,
Rosanna

Ok, young lady. This is a therapist talking to you. You are taking the negative comments to heart. STOP IT, JUST STOP IT. You are a good person and a fantastic artist and let no one tell you differently. No one has the right to degrade you...a helpful comment? Yes, but that is all. I LOVE your calm voice and instruction and find it relaxing, which is a benefit of crafting! Is it not? People who are in such a hurry and negative state can fast forward or go to other resources. Do not take any of these nay-sayers to heart. (YES, you have been taking those comments to heart!) I love your mice videos. I am retired and of Volga River German heritage and teach spun cotton locally. You have taught me so much and I appreciate you. Hugs from Dakotagal... and your phone camera is just fine; you don't need an expensive replacement!
I wholeheartedly agree.
I am a creative person who has been completely and utterly stuck in a place where everything is boring me, even all my previous art that brought me great joy so finding your channel today was so wonderful..li am gobbling up your videos, you are so inspiring and have given me so much joy today and I fully expect to watch every single one of your videos over the coming weeks. For the first time in many months I feel hope that I shall regain my creativity and that’s because of you Rosanna.x
I love these little mice! They are so adorable.
She is so spot on. I am 70 yrs old. I finally learn what living a good life when I decided to not give a damn what others think or say about me. And boy am I in such a better place and so much happier
Honestly….the dearest little creatures I’ve ever seen! At nearly 71 I have been truly inspired and have made both a wee mouse and the pony pull toy! Thank you so much for such detailed instruction!❤❤❤
A group of mice are called a mischief of mice.
Lovely
Love that ❤🐭❤️🐭❤️
Rosanna, I have anxiety and PTSD. I'm an artist too and doing things that I love, whether drawing, crafting, etc. helps me immensely. Keep doing what you are doing you are on the right path to peace.
Oh thank you, and thank you for sharing your experience! ❤❤❤
Dear Rosanna, you must be an angel . The way you talk, the way you move your hands ,the colours you select , everything tells me you must come from another world where kindness and caring still exist. Ever so inspiring, thank you for sharing your art and inmost thoughts. God bless you , your family and sanctuary
Oh my, thank you ❤ I'm definitely not an angel but I'm very touched by what you say 🥰
Out of something sad, like your anxiety, comes out something so beautiful, these mice are adorable. I also have anxiety and crafting has been a life changer. Keep focusing on your craft.
Thank you, I will do that! ❤
What a sweet, kind comment. ❤
Honey you don’t need to be embarrassed or feel like you’re being weird…..everyone has their own issues, and whatever they may be, they are real and valid!
And thanks so much for sharing with us, because it’s good for people to share their struggles. It validates us and makes us more able to deal with and get help. And your mice are the CUTEST!!!! Hugs!!! ☺️☺️☺️
Ty for being vulnerable. I know how hard it is to be honest and to work through an attack, rather than curling up in a ball and giving up. You're a gift to so many of us who also suffer in our own ways so hang in there. I love your channel, your mice make me smile ❤❤
I've had anxiety, panic attacks and depression, my entire life and I want you to know that one of the reasons I watch your video's is because I've found that YOU HELP ME with my anxiety 😊❤ I just love the quiet, cozy calmness that I feel when you're creating. I enjoy everything about your personality! So thank you Rosanna for sharing and just being you. ❤❤❤
Anxiety and depression have been a part of my life for 17 years, probably more. I can rely to you. You are so creative. I admire you spvery much! Creating helps the mind " forget " our problems. Don't give up! ❤❤❤
I think you do well with your anxiety, especially if you can do your craft while experiencing an attack.❤❤❤ Don’t be so hard on yourself, you are sweet and caring person. Thanks for sharing your talent.
Oh thank you very much. ❤
So cute! What I say to myself is ‘Everything is okay. I’m okay’ Also walks in nature relieves my anxiety
Thank you! That's wonderful advice, walking helps me so much and I need to use affirmations more ❤
They call it Dr Green where I live.
Thank you so much Rosanna for sharing your anxiety and your wonderful craft, and above all, for making "missed takes". I remember your advice about leaving the arms and legs longer than you need. I started felting and made the arms too short. I love Beatrix Potter, too! Love and huge thanks for the huge breakthrough you've created.
Your comment section is full of loving healing feelings.❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🤗🤗🤗
Oh thank you for such a kind comment and for being such an encouraging supporter of my work ❤ and yes to leaving the arms and legs long so you have options but also, short stubby legs are great too! 😅 keep up the good work ❤❤
Beautiful creations! Your so talented. Thank you for sharing. I used to have very bad anxiety and panic attacks but they completely disappeared about 6 years ago, so there is hope. I found that reading the Bible helped immensely, walking, dancing and anything physical also helped me. Doing very detailed work like needlepoint distracts panic. Hope this helps. I really enjoyed your move. Hugs from Italy 😊
Oh thank you for your kind comment and suggestions! It's so good to hear you're living without anxiety now, that is very hopeful and I'm happy for you! ❤
I have anxiety attacks too. Going anywhere does it but also at home at times. Thanks for sharing.
Adore the mice, what a good way to keep the mind occupied. 😊🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🍀💚
I had to chuckle a little even though I know it's really so hard -- yes I'm the same, I only have anxiety when I go out and also most of the time I'm at home 😅 I hope we can both find ways to feel a little less anxious in most situations ❤❤
Isn’t it amazing how calming working with our hands is?
Yes it's a wonderful escape.. I think our mothers and grandmothers knew that very well, which is why embroidery and handwork were so popular as something to pick up when all the other work was done..
That’s why I became an occupational therapist. Working with your hands and mind can change your life.
Adorable little mice..I love them so much..n little whiskers. So cute ❤❤❤
I'm making guinea pigs at the moment..I think I could do some standing up like yours with clothes on..
Thankyou for sharing
Blessings from Australia 🦘🦘🦘
Yes!! I bet they are so cute! Guinea pigs are so sweet. Since they have short tails you can make them stand by putting a little pin or needle in the back to prop them.. or some people like to make a stand and glue the feet down..
i have health anxiety since a tumor took up residence in my lung. it is hard to not be anxious in today’s world and you are def not alone. i think anxiety and depression are a modern pandemic. i donated to your sweet sanctuary a few weeks ago. i couldn’t afford much, but wanted to help in a tiny way. day by day, step by step, we will find the light again.
Dear Kathi, thank you so much for your message and for your donation! Maybe it seems smaller than you'd like but it feeds our chickens for a week and that's not a small thing ❤ I can understand how after actually experiencing something like a tumor in your lung, you would become hyper-aware and vigilant which feeds into constant anxiety. We're told to monitor ourselves so we can "catch things early" - a good idea but some of us take that too far... I feel for you and hope with time perhaps you will find more peace ❤
@@Rosannamakes thank you for your kind words
Never give up , try to keep positive thoughts. You are very clever making little mic i love them. Thank you for sharing your creations.
Today is June 26th I just found your video while something to show me how to make fabric flowers. I was so mesmerized by the little rabbits and subscribe to your channel and start watching some of your other videos. I am actually 86 years old And enjoyed Who you are, I think you are a very sweet soul. I am happy to have found you and will be watching your videos.
Awww, thank you so much for writing! I love making those fabric flowers and of course lots of other things but those are so simple and satisfying. I appreciate your kindness and am glad you're here and am always interested in hearing what people enjoy and like to make. ❤❤❤
Everyone has their own issues so don't feel embarrassed. You are a lovely lady and generous sharing your many talents.
Roseanne, health anxiety or hypochondriac is a legitimate disorder, just like OCD, Oppositional Defiance Disorder, etc. Don't be ashamed about it. I have a few disorders myself, to include PTSD and my anxiety has been acting up overtime. I don't know if you are a Christian or not, but I have found that reading my Bible actually helps me. It.helps my mind focus on something else that's bigger than me. It's comforting to me. I'm actually able to calm down and slow my breathing down. Then I move on to something else to keep my mind busy, or it helps me to be able to sleep. Bible meditation and verse memorization is another something that can help, and of course prayer. But I am aware that not everyone is a believer. But anything that helps relax your thoughts and breathing can help. I hope you get to feeling better. Sending hugs.
Thank you so much for your thoughtful comment and suggestions. ❤
For everyone reading the Bible it is so calming and when you read it you want to read more 😀 yes it meets our needs someone to understand us our Lord Jesus 🙏 🧓❤️
You're not alone with those attacks. got overwhelmed at work some time ago and the first thing my mind yelled was 'under the table! grab the yarn' in the middle of a rush at work. Ended up sitting under the table during my break. Someone else just did the same when she had her break afterwards.
This video helps, not only you in finding you're not alone and you don't have to be ashamed and for others as they are also not alone.
Hi Rosanna, you are so brave sharing your anxiety issues! You are a very gifted lady, just take one day at a time! I fully understand as I have anxiety too! Some days are worse than others! You are an inspiration to others, crafting is such a healing medium as well! And you definitely have a gift, and its wonderful you share it! sending big healing hugs x❤
Oh thank you for such a kind and understanding comment. It means a lot to hear from you and you're so right that we have to take days one at a time and try to start fresh each morning! I'm so glad we can escape with making 🥰 hugs to you too 🤗
Thank you for sharing , your work is beautiful. I had wanted a mouse house for a while now and I can't buy mice small enough near me for what I wanted. I watched your first video and got excited and bought some cotton balls to start my own collection of mice. I loved this video too. It gives me more ideas. Thanks again. You're a true artist.
Oh thank you so much! That's so wonderful to hear and I'm so excited for your mouse house!! That sounds like such a fun project ❤❤❤
I avoided watching this Rosanna as I didn’t want to see or hear you be upset. I think it was a very brave thing to do to come on and share about your anxiety I am sure you have given many people hope and encouragement to work through their anxieties. I haven’t time to see the finished mouse but so far it looks wonderful. Thank you for sharing your skills and experience. ♥️♥️♥️
My sister has anxiety but she has never told me how. She makes beautiful quilts and sews very much. Now I think thanks for your sharing I can understand my sister more. Don't worry about everybody. Luv you lots 😊 ❤🎉. 🧓
Oh thank you very much for such a sweet and kind comment ❤ sending love to you and your sister! 💕
Thank you for doing this, Rosanna. You’re a real jewel!
Aww, that's so sweet of you to say. Thank you Steffi ❤
These are just beautiful 😊🥰🇬🇧
Oh thank you ❤❤❤
Another beautiful, calm relaxing video. Your content is adorable and your candid commentary and sharing is heartwarming. Crafting is my happy place, my escape from the hustle and bustle, worries and stuff of everyday life. I’ve never met a nasty crafter yet, it’s a community of caring, sharing people who have your back. Ignore those with unkind or negative comments, that’s there problem not yours. Don’t change your style, your voice, not a thing. You are perfect s you are and an incredible role model to your daughter who is already a credit to you. ❤❤❤
Such sweet little creatures - can't wait to try some. You seem such a calm person - with understood and controlled anxiety - probably because you are such a sensitive soul. Remember - 'worry doesnt solve tomorrow's problems - it just saps the joy from today'. Take care x❤
Thank you so much for that kind comment and you are so right about worry sapping the joy from today.. thank goodness we can start fresh each morning ❤
I think Beatrice Potter would adore these 😊
Oh thank you so much! ❤
You know what. This is just simply adorable. ❤
Aww thank you ❤🥰❤
You are such a gift to us all. Im so sorry you were having an anxiety attack that day 🫂
Oh thank you very much ❤
❤❤❤❤ Igo through that a lot too. So cute.
Oh thank you ❤
I had therapy on Thursday and had a huge meltdown and spent the whole day with therapists conditioning my clay by hand because for me it helps to calm me down with meditating music on TH-cam and even made a small inner child. I was able to talk thru so much my anxiety went down amazingly fast, like I was so surprised! Your voice is calming also and I could totally do this with you. Thank you so much. While you share and hopefully get thru your very valid anxiety maybe it will help me get thru my very valid anxiety. So again, thank you for sharing! And I love your tutorials and your sharing.❤
Aww, sending love to you ❤ it sounds like the clay helped so much, I can imagine how it would.. I'm glad you had your hands busy and people around to talk things out and hope that continues to help you heal. I love the term "valid anxiety" - that puts it in a different light. Hopefully someday we experience much less valid anxiety than we do now! ❤❤❤
Just subscribed to your wonderful channel. You are so talented. I love to hand sew and collect things . We live in a very anxious world especially now. Making things with our hands and creating is a great way to release tension. ❤. Will look forward to following you
Thank you so much for your kind and understanding comment ❤ hand sewing is very relaxing.. I think that must have helped our grandmothers unwind at the end of the day although I don't suppose most of them had any choice but to do it, it was a necessity more than a hobby but still, it's good to keep the hands and mind occupied ❤
I’m sorry you deal with this . I’ve suffered anxiety , to the point of being house bound . Such a weird modern world disorder. I adore your videos . I told you before I watch your videos as “ comfort “ . It’s odd to say , that’s
not exactly the right
word . But they allow me to escape the moment and spur my creativity . Put your illness in
the list of things I
can control . Then do what you can control . ( talk to a doctor /psychologist /nurse practitioner ) . Then teach yourself to let go . It’s a hard battle . Thank you for sharing your wonderful crafts , your life, your thoughts . I would like more info on any items you sell . Blessings and this video technique is so fun .
I also struggle leaving the house. I am doing EMDR therapy to try and overcome it all because panic attacks are traumatizing in itself and have been crippling. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you ❤ I'm so glad these videos give you something like comfort or even distraction.. sometimes that's what we have to do. You're so right that the key is letting go... but oh it's such a hard thing to learn to do!! Thanks again and sending you love and peace ❤
@@montarsisminiaturesI'm so sorry to hear that - I hope you find some relief and healing ❤❤❤
@@Rosannamakes slowly but surely. 👍❤️
My English is not good enough 😕, I can tell you I love your creations, so cute, you have fairy fingers. I feel you are a good person 😻
Oh that's so kind of you to say ❤ thank you for watching ❤❤❤
Rosanna, you have such a brave soul!
Oh thank you so much! 🥰
Something I use is deep breathing (from the diaphragm) It’s not intuitive to breathe that way so your mind will focus away from the anxiety to breathing. Your little mice are so creative. Be good to yourself.
Diaphragmatic breathing is intrinsic to yogic practice. And it works. ❤❤❤
@@Stumpybear7640thank you so much for your comment and suggestion! I use the Wim Hof method of breathing every morning and it does help me a lot. It's hard work but I find that anything physically challenging helps quiet the mind. ❤
@@Stumpybear7640yes I use both and rely on them ❤❤❤
Those are adorable mice I've never seen them that cute and little. 😊I'm sure it's not easy especially the details it's a wonderful art that you made. Thankyou for sharing and just know everything is going to be alright it's ok to share how you feel. Luv you. 🧓🥰❤️😀
Thank you so much! 🩷🐭🩷
I did join you because of anxiety. I worked along with you to finish a little mouse named Frances. Thank you for your transparency and honesty with us. And for sharing your art and talent. Lots of hugs ❤
I have depression and I have recently found your videos .I love them ! You are sooooo creative and talented and very humble.You really are very skilled.Whether this is a tutorial or not, I have really enjoyed it and I admire you for speaking about your anxiety. We should be free to talk about our mental health.I find it refreshing that you are so honest. Crafting has helped me to cope with my depression and I find your videos inspiring , because of your artistry and skill and that you are a fellow sufferer, albeit in a slightly different way. Your work is beautiful
I totally understand the anxiety and panic attacks. I just want to say that this video is perfect. I made a couple of little mouseys, and I was trying to figure out how to dress them. Your video came at the perfect time❤❤❤
Oh thank you for understanding and I'm excited you made some mice! I'm working on another short video for ways to dress them because I know not everyone has hours to spend..
I too suffer from anxiety and turn to crafts as well to help get me through it. God bless and love your mice so much!
These mice are so adorable!
Thank you so much ❤
Crafting brings everyone into the present. It works for me! Love the mice by the way xxx
Oh thank you! You are so right ❤ making things is a wonderful meditation!
Another fabulous Make A-Long Rosanna! I too find spun cotton mentally therapeutic! I look forward to clothing some naked mice! 👏🏻🐭🙌🏻🐭😍🐭🤩🐭
Hahahaha 😂😂 no mouse left unclothed!! 😂
You bring so much joy to many. I pray for peace of mind for you sweet Rosanna. You have us out here to reach out to in your moments of doubt.
Thank you for sharing your amazing talent ❤️ as you are seeing so many of us have anxiety and health anxiety. I do too, and for many years. One of the things that helped me early on was to have affirmations to say that over time become more and more powerful. We need to connect with our subconscious which is the seat of anxiety and fear and harder to get to. My affirmation when I start feeling anxious is “peace, balance and harmony” over and over and it will stop my anxiety. Of course everyone is different. “Therapy in a nutshell” is an awesome TH-cam with many free strategies on anxiety. Art and exercise are great too. Thanks for sharing with us ❤️❤️❤️❤️
If I start to feel anxiety creeping in I start singing silly, happy songs. I have a long list of bird songs that I can choose from. Anxiety is from fear. I stop and look at the situation and realize there is nothing to fear. The Bible talks about fear. There are enough scriptures for every day about fear. This tells me that throughout the ages people have had anxiety. I see that you focus on whatever is good, whatever is lovely and the positive things in life. There are sensitive or empathic people in this World. Embrace who you are. Depressed people commonly say they feel like they aren't going to make it. Don't focus on the future focus on the present. Your mice are wonderful. You are good at making videos and you have great teaching skills. Your voice is calming. Chamomile tea will help you to stay calm. Happy New Year.
Thank you for sharing this, Rosanna. I wish others would be as honest and open as you have been here. And just look what came out of your taking the time to ease your mind while preparing this video for us - two adorable, peaceful creatures! You are so gifted. I hope you will continue to seek solace and satisfaction at your own pretty work table. (And BTW, the mouse whiskers are totally worth the effort. That's a step you should never skip! I thank you for that lesson.)
Oh thank you for such a wonderful comment ❤ I'm so glad you like Hilda and Ludwig and I'm glad the whiskers seem worth the fiddle-diddling 😉
Rosanna, thank you so much for posting this video. I also have anxiety plus other health issues. It can be such a debilitating state but your video talking about it and working through your creative process was both courageous and helpful. The more we can talk about these things, others can be reassured that they are not alone. The migraines I experience cause anxiety because pain is our body’s way of telling us something is wrong which then starts the cascade effect of questioning what’s wrong with me…you are not alone. Anxiety can present in a myriad of different ways and levels but knowing what you are dealing with is definitely the biggest first step on that journey toward peace and hope. Thank you again for sharing this video…you helped me today and I know I can’t be alone seeing the other positive comments on here. I am a brand new subscriber and I’m excited to make a few mice to live in my mouse house. Cheers!
Ohh, thank you for writing ❤ I know just what you mean, you get a migraine and you want to know why? What's "wrong" with my body that caused this? Everything must be examined.. it's tough because as you say, pain is a signal from the body that something isn't quite right, but oftentimes I know that the main thing that isn't right with me is my stress and anxiety. So it's a constant wrestle between writing symptoms off to anxiety and tension or wondering if this is the time something is really wrong... ugh. There's no way to reason myself out of it for me, I just have to get busy and distract if I can! I'm so glad this video helped.. I really believe being creative can be very healing and also that being creative together is a really beautiful way to connect. Hoping you're having a good day - or that tomorrow will be a better day! ❤
I have been eagerly awaiting your next video. Thank you for sharing your mouse creations with us. ❤
Oh thank you and you're so welcome 🥰
🎉ohhhhh i love them ❤ 🎉
I made a mouse after your inspiring video! And having anxiety at times myself, I appreciate your honesty. I also read Psalms 23 often, prayer and crafting, which helps. Take care.
I have p.t.s.d and anxiety. Never like leaving the house but I do enjoy watching you..and gathering the thangs I need to make a mouse..so cute thank you and keep doing this it's great
This is a really brave share. I used to suffer similarly years ago and with overwhelming fear that something bad was going to happen to my loved ones. It was totally paralysing. I’m so sorry you’re struggling with this. 😢
Oh thank you, it's good to know you've managed to break free from that. ❤❤
@@Rosannamakes it’s taken years…. Sometimes I still get triggered but I’m not ruled by it anymore. I hope things improve my darling
Your creations are so cute. Also love the fabric that is covering your work space. I just ran into your channel and did hear some about your anxiety problems and I understand. I have those problems too. But one thing I have already found I love the sound of your voice. It’s very calming to me.😊
Ohh thank you ❤ that's very sweet of you to say ☺️ and the fabric is part of an old feedback 🌸
Anxiety is very crippling, it's not something you need to apologize for.
Just be yourself.
You are great.
Oh thank you ❤ that's so sweet of you to say!! 🥰
Thank you so much for sharing the process of dressing a cotton mouse. . They are totally adorable and might have stepped out of a Beatrix Potter story or from the pages of a Brambly Hedge book.
Ohhh that's such a sweet comment. Thank you so much ❤
Какие хорошенькие мышки! А с вами милая, все будет хорошо, побольше чем- то заниматься, меньше думать, танцы, спорт хорошо отвлекают от депрессии ❤
Rosanna, your vlog ended up in my feed, and I am interested in learning how to make little mouse characters. Though when you described your disorder, I was grateful and appreciated learning about what you are experiencing. You are so articulate and this helps others to develop understanding and empathy. I have circadian rhythm disorder, which, in my case, means that my sleep patterns are not normal, to say the least. I have tried to change or even slightly adjust this so I can fit in with others' cycles of being awake during the day and sleeping at night, but I have not yet been successful. I have real guilt about this, so I understand that you would feel guilt, even though it's clearly not something you can control very well. I hope that you can try not to feel guilty, because guilt is the pits. To borrow from another's comment, you seem like such a sweet soul, and I wish you the best. The little mouse is going to be adorable. I will have to finish watching "tomorrow," and am looking forward to seeing the rest.
Oh thank you for writing! Your circadian rhythm disorder sounds very challenging and I'm sure it's isolating.. what you say about guilt is so true, it's the pits and it's completely unproductive and damaging. I'm so glad we can come together as a little creative community here, at any time of day or night from all over the world, and enjoy making little mice and chatting and sharing. Thank you for sharing your own challenge because I bet there will be others who read your comment and recognize themselves and feel less alone! ❤
Yes, well acquainted with both Mrs Tittlemouse and Mrs Tiggywinkle. I've been fashioning my mouse after Mrs Tittlemouse. I had a figurine of her, just this size, when I was little and lost it playing in a stream. The water was shallow and clear and she just vanished. I was so upset, so upset that she crosses my mind from time to time. I've never made anything like this before and mine is turning out perfect! She just needs dressed. Thank you for helping me heal this little girl memory 💖 we all need our healthy escapisms. (I'm 34, by the way 😉 though I feel 24, or 74, or 8, depending on the minute 😅💕🐁) your videos are lovely
I have only just found your channel,you are very talented and your mice are awesome. Sorry to hear of your anxiety,it is wonderful you can speak out about it, I wish I could help you. Anyway I think you are amazing.
Ohhh, thank you so much. That means a lot ❤❤❤
I love these! Your ability to make animals is incredible.
Oh, eres una persona muy agradable, creativa, muy educada. No te sientas mal contigo misma, vales mucho porque tienes la capacidad de crear cosas lindas. Todos tenemos problemas y lo bueno es saber y reconocerlos para poder enfrentarlos. Recuerda que cada dificultad que se nos presente, sacaremos coraje para resolverlos. Saludos.
Oh thank you for such a kind and encouraging comment! I appreciate it so much ❤❤❤
@@Rosannamakes Thanks Rosanna. Espero que te aprecies, que reconozcas tus problemas y los combatas sacando fortaleza de tí porque tú vales mucho. Amate e ignora a los que intenten dañarte, ellos no tienen lo que tú posees y por eso lo hacen. Es así en la vida. Recuerda esto: Hay dos caminos, el de la felicidad o el de la infelicidad, tú escoges la opción. Feliz día.
You are quite talented…don’t be so hard on yourself! Do you have these for sale? I actually love them!💕
Thank you very much ❤❤ I am planning a sale of mouse characters for late in July or in August, I sell spun cotton things a few times a year. I keep people updated on Instagram @rosannadellart or with my newsletter: mailchi.mp/0826907f94cc/join-rosannas-mailing-list
Hermosisimo trabajo
I've been wanting to make spun cotton figures, particularly mice so thanks! Oh, and Listening to hypnosis audiobooks dealing specifically with anxiety reduced my panic attacks to nearly zero. Saved my sanity.
So precious. 👍💖
I love your little creations. Hilda and Ludwig are adorable!
One of these days, I'm going to try this!
Oh thank you so much! I hope you do try ❤
Those are so adorable❤
Thank you so much ❤❤
I wish I could make things like that, it takes me all my time to crochet a granny square.
People think anxiety, panic attacks and OCd are funny, believe me, as we know it is not.
Crochet is a wonderful activity ❤ and granny squares are so fun and so "chic" right now.. anything that keeps your mind a little occupied.. I agree, OCD and anxiety are often laughed off as being quirky personality traits but they can be so debilitating. Thank you so much for your comment and wishing you good things ❤
Right!! Not funny. Very real.
Very cute ❤
Thank you! 😊
my daughter had this type of anxiety so bad she couldn't really function. medication was the only thing that helped. it has been so wonderful to see her thrive now
Are we twins? “Your body constantly serves you” could be a nice mantra (bc I need to tell myself too!)-39f and obsessed with Beatrix
That is an excellent mantra!! Thank you so much..yes Beatrix Potter is so inspiring and fascinating to me. I hope to visit her home one day ❤
Ludewig and Hilda, oh my. 🥰
Roseanne . . . I understand. I am a 76-year-old woman who has inherited depression. Although I can't stop the depressing thoughts, I CAN DIVERT my thoughts by becoming deeply involved in a project, hobby, research. Sometimes I need very complex projects (such as decades of family research), and sometimes I need to just embroider to relax. This is a great COPING TECHNIQUE, honey! BTW, awesome mice!!! I'll be watching, honey.
Oh thank you for such a kind and encouraging comment ❤ you're right that diversion is so important and I love the idea of both a very complex project like research and genealogy and a more "mindless" or meditative project like embroidery. We need both to wear the brain out and help shut the overactive parts down..
I so wish I could make something with cotton and create something beautiful..your so talented 😊
You definitely can if you work at it!! I will share my first spun cotton creation here soon so you all will believe that you can start at any level and there is LOTS of room to grow and improve 😅
🎉i really enjoyed it ty for sharing 🎉
Beautiful mice I love them ❤

Giving you hugs! ♡
Thank you for sharing, I have anxiety and panic disorder due to PTSD. I am limited sometimes in what I can do at times. I love the mice, be well💜
Oh it's good to hear from you and I do understand that sometimes we become completely paralyzed - i try to garden or walk or create if I'm able but part of the reason I made this video is that watching someone else create or listening and "being" with them might sometimes be helpful when we are frozen with anxiety or panic. My heart goes out to you! One day at a time ❤❤❤
Son tan bellisimos como tiernos estan llenos de magia te felicito son adorables.😊 saludo de Argentina voy a intentar hacerlo.💞💞💞
Oh thank you for such a kind comment ❤ happy making!!
One, what a beautiful video with the darn sweetest mice I have ever seen. You are truly blessed with a beautifully creative mind.
Two. What an incredibly honest video. Life is irrational, so why shouldn’t we be? Anxiety is nothing to be embarrassed about, nor should you ever feel guilty about it. We all deal with our own thoughts, fears and emotions, whether they are considered “valid“ or not. I’m glad you have found things to help you through those times.
Watching your videos you seem like a very genuine, kind and caring woman. You sound like someone I would definitely become friends with and yes I’m in my fifties! 😉 I too tend to be friends with people somewhat older than me.
I hope you are doing well and please never apologize for being who you are, ❤️
Oh thank you so much, I appreciate your kindness and understanding 💕💕
This is the first of your videos that I found and I LOVE IT!!! I love every single thing about this video!! Especially the length, I love a good long video like this ♡ thank you so much for creating and speaking from your heart! Now to go binge all of your other videos ♡
Hello rosana enjoy your anxious and get out the best artist you have😊❤🙏
Hilda and Ludwig are adorable!! I took a couple of breaks when enjoying this fun video, but I think I missed how you did the pattern on Hilda’s dress?!? Was it a dot pattern with acrylic, painted when it was dry?
I used some dark red-brown watercolor for the dot pattern and yes, after the background was dry or it will just bleed in.. gouache would work well too. I chose watercolor because I wanted it to soak in and look part of the dress instead of sitting on top if that makes sense, as acrylic might do. Although if you water acrylic down it would act similarly. I hope I haven't confused you!
You are very talented, I love these little mice ❤
Thanks so much 😊

Blessings to you.❤
The best way to deal with it is control what you put in your body. Health is primarily damaged from inside. Once you do that you will lose that anxiety.
