I did the first big step which is purchasing land, almost 6 acres smack dab in the middle of south-central Oklahoma. It’s not much, but it is very secluded and has water access (only when raining-runoff creek for a pond on the neighbors property) and it’s MINE. Now, the hard part of saving enough scratch to put some money on a construction loan or possibly a double wide even. I would live in a tent on the land if our climate would afford it. It’s 20 miles south of Moore, OK, which always gets big heavy tornadoes and storms. One day I’ll be a homesteader also and I cannot wait!
I’m so excited for you! There are so many simple housing options I’m sure you will find the right fit even if temporary. Our property isn’t as secluded but it buds us up against my in laws so we can take care of them.
Thanks for this, I just received this kit for my birthday, but I haven't finished my first kit yet, "The Buttercup" Iam really excited about starting my Vermont Farmhouse Jr but my OCD won't let me even open the box till I finish the Buttercup. But I love that this video is so honest .
I completely understand that! I have a hard time moving onto another project when I have one already in the works. I hope you are able to finish your buttercup soon!
I was able to find 1 problem on your video. You have zero knowledge of pollination. Trees do not help each other with pollination. Because trees are not pollinators. Cross pollination might be possible, and this might become a problem, for you if this happens. What happens is you might end up getting a different type of food if you transplant different type of plants, or trees near each other. I only know of 3 different methods, or options of pollination, and what is on my mind is different than what is on your mind. Planting, and transplanting, or transplant are two words that you are getting confused with. Planting is not something you are doing on your video. What you are doing on your video is called transplant, or transplanting. Transplant is the action of taking a plant, or tree that has matured enough then putting it somewhere in soil outside. I will try to make it simpler, for you to understand. >>> Transfer plant <<< Planting is just a long story in my opinion, and I think it would take me a long time to explain this action.
Interesting I will do more research into this. And yes, I meant cross pollination for the fruit trees. Definitely still learning the correct terminology
This is my first year gardening in our new climate, I decided to do a bit of "chaos gardening" and experimenting to see what takes haha I've definitely had some successes and some failures. It's a learning process! We cannot grow and learn unless we try, proud of you guys for taking the leap into the gardening world! I'm already learning from my mistakes and I can't wait to see what happens in the garden next year. Biggest thing I have learned is to Trellis everything you can! Such a space saver and a great way to maintain certain vining plants
We love the idea of chaos gardening! We had a few things we treated this way and plan much more next year. Trellis! Yes, we were just talking about this last night. I think that’s a great idea.

You are doing great!! and by great, I mean you are trying and learning! It takes time and do NOT get discouraged (because it's super easy to do) Compost and wood chips will be your best friend when it comes to building the soil up to be full of nutrients and minerals (and worms!) that your plants will thank you for! Also, dedicate pathways and stay on them! Walking throughout (as kids do) will compact the soil, making it harder for new baby roots to grow through. I look forward to watching your journey and how you adapt and learn! I pray God blesses all your efforts!
Thank you so much for the encouragement! These are great tips! We just made the decision last night that we need to do some form of raised beds so we have designated pathways with all these kids and dogs 🤣 . Thank you for the blessing!
@@l.l.Robertson i recommend watching Jess on Roots and Refuge. She is a fellow believer and also has a ridiculous amount of such valuable garden info (and her devotional videos are amazing too) and watching her has been a true blessing and inspiration and wealth of knowledge for me.
I really wish your commentary and tone was more upbeat, positive and fun. Dolls houses are supposed to be fun and you mention “having such a blast” right at the end, but the commentary was so depressing throughout 😅
Wow, I am surprised at the rude comments I’ve seen here and there on this woman’s dollhouse journey! Telling someone you wish they were “more fun” based off your own standards of is never a kind or necessary thing to say.
The grey toned paint and the warm tan colour on the "stones" didn't go together, I think that's part of why it didn't look right colour-wise. Otherwise, phenomenal job on everything!!! Wow! Beautiful little home
I think you did a great job., this isn’t something that’s suppose to be done in a day or even a month. It’s a meditation project , kinda like playing chess. I’m glad you didn’t quit 🙌🏾
Thank you for not being perfect and showing the mistakes. Some of the videos maked it look so easy. I have a dollhouse partially done when I bought it. Too scared to go into it. I have bought already made just need a makeover. Thx for sharing.
Goodnight. Thank you for sharing your interest in making something for your baby. I am trying to make a house for my granddaughter, however due to being disabled I have difficulties. I would like to ask you a favor, if you could give me the measurements of the house from the outside and the height between floors. I will be eternally grateful. I wish you all the best. Thank you.
I am so sorry for the delay! Unfortunately it is in storage as we move and I can not easily access it. But here is a link with measurement information. www.hobbylobby.com/Crafts-Hobbies/Dollhouses-Miniatures/Dollhouse-Kits/Vermont-Farmhouse-Jr-Dollhouse-Kit/p/28857
Sorry you feel that way, we personally love the turn out. Guess that’s the good thing about it being a kit 😊 , everyone can do it to their best ability and within their own means.
Why, why, why do you make everything so difficult? Painting over and over and over again only to go back to original finish - you didn’t learn the first time? In the first video you made clear you didn’t have but snippets of few minutes here and there, you could have yourself a lot of headaches by READING instructions! How long did it take from start to finish?
😆 definitely could have made it easier on myself. Not sure how long it took me honestly, we sold our home and moved right in the middle so time calculation is difficult
About "cheating" on the tomato at 07:25 -- ma'am, that is not cheating, that is making a time-saving decision on a matter that your customer (i.e., your son) likely doesn’t care about. To couch it in terms of contract work: I take great pride in the quality of my work, but time is money and an essential skill of decision-making is knowing when to take the lower-effort route. This looks like perfectly play-edible tomato when you frame in the way it will be used; as a layer in a sandwich. Time saved here can be spent on other responsibilities, on yourself, or on another labor of love.
P.S. that sandwich looks amazing at 08:53! I'd be tempted to make one for myself to play with, but I draw the line on playing with food at buying dino nuggies so I can hide the evidence in my stomach.
Thank you for this wonderful and informative video. As a grandma some of these books took me down memory lane. I needed a gift for a little one and I found a good one thanks to you! 😊
