I wanted to feel a little better after loosing my sister to cancer yesterday and I came across your video and it was just what I needed.. she loved being outdoors and looking for things in the woods
Aw, I am so sorry for your loss 😢 I am glad you were able to find some comfort here 💗 Hugs!!!
sorry for your loss & Grief.
That’s saving so much money! Mother Nature will supply 90% of our craft,medical and food we need, you’re doing a great job showing us your beautiful NATURAL HAUL! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
So sorry for your loss😢
I'm so, so sorry about your sister. I hope you are able to remember her with some smiles and reminiscences at Christmas this year; it takes an awfully long time for the initial rawness of the pain to subside, doesn't it? Lots of love and best wishes from England.
Thanks for sharing. Nancy
Thanks for watching Nancy 😉💖
I love birch wood. I've got to travel miles to get. An hour and a half. I'm getting a bunch on my next trip
Have fun!💖
You are definitely a fellow Canadian 🇨🇦 🍁
Yes I am 😄💗🇨🇦
I want the whole birch tree lol
Thank you. Take care
Have a wonderful weekend 🤗💖
I love the idea of foraging nature…..and the fact that the birch tree slipped right out of its perfect white bark, made me squeal with delight and jealousy. Pinecones, moss, lichen, bark, perfect twigs….ahhhhhh Mother Nature is very generous. But. But. Bear tracks, poison Ivy, not to mention spiders and snakes….and heaven only know “who” else is out there (yes, I watch too much Criminal minds, Discovery ID and Forensic Files….) Wherever you live is absolutely beautiful and I applaud and envy you a bit. Loved this. 🤍🤍🤍
Ok, I’d risk my life for that birch bark….🤍🤍🤍🤎🤎🤎🤍🤍🤍 Staghorn lichen, and carpet moss…..but it is great that you have a trusty, capable, protective MAN boyscout to lead the way, and carry your IKEA bag of precious crafting supplies 🤣🤣
Yes, Nature is full of bounty 😃
Lol, I grew up with a Nature loving family, so I'm used to the spiders, bears, etc. And yes, my hubby is an avid outdoors man, definitely beneficial 🤗
I am so glad you enjoyed coming along with us.
Take care 💖 🙂
We just had a big storm with 98 mph winds, so a lot of twigs and small branches blew off of my flowering crabapple tree. I saved some of them because I thought of you! Some had the pretty green lichen on them.
Yay, sounds like a fun collection!! Sorry for the bad storm!!!
I am glad you enjoyed. Thanks for watching. Have a great day!!☺️💖
Very interesting, thanks for sharing.
Thank you Pamela 💖💖💖
Such a beautiful place!
Thank you 💖
What a great way to get amazing craft items ❤
It really is!
I love the foraging it was beautiful country
Thanks Nina 💖💖💖
Thank you so much for sharing...totally going to have a different train of thought when going for walks!
You are so welcome! Have fun!! Thanks for watching 😉💖
That was a great little adventure 😀..I miss those country roads ...great ideas..love birch
Glad you enjoyed it Pam!!! Thanks for stopping by 😉💖
Your surroundings are so my thing. Gorgeous
Thank you kindly 😉💖
The ‘mini pine cones’ are cute. It’s cool to see the decayed birch come loose from the fabulous bark. Great birch bark pieces, moss and lichen.
Ya, it was so fun to find all those treasures 🤗 Glad you enjoyed!!
Thanks for watching 💖
Wow! I never would have guessed that the birch would be deteriorated inside the bark and just fall out!
Ya, it was fun to collect like that 😀
Excellent video tutorial!
Thank you 💖 🤗
I love this. Love walking trails and finding nature’s beautiful gifts for us to take home.
Thank you 💖💖💖
Cool presentation my friend 😊
Thank you 💖
I’ve never seen a video like this was foraging. I learned a lot from watching this. Thank you for sharing all your knowledge.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching Dawn 💖😉
Hey, I have some tree ornaments. I love that you use as many natural resources to do your crafts. These are pine cone gnomes with birch bark hats and moss beards. The moss hangs out of the trees. I preserve my moss and it's nice and soft. I just can’t seem to put the picture in. Once I figure it out I’ll send it to you. I live in Maine.
Sounds awesome Anna!! Unfortunately you can't share pics here on YT. You can DM me on IG if you have it.
How do you preserve your moss? I've been wanting to try it out.
Thanks so much for watching and sharing with me. Take care 💖
Such a lovely place! You inspire me to go out on my own property And forage!
Yay, have fun 😉
Thanks for watching 💖
I was so hoping that you would do a video like this. Awesome idea.
Yay, thank you! 💖😀
Hi! I have never seen any birch trees around Maryland. Although I had one in our backyard while I was growing up. The lichen is very interesting I'll keep a look out for some. And I'll be hunting moss. Thanks for the video. Very informative.
Glad you enjoyed. Thanks for watching 💖🤗
It was fun watching you forage around in nature seeing what you could find. We all live in the mountains and we all have a lot of natural things to use for crafts on our property. We all don't have birch trees though. Take care and God Bless y'all always
Aw, thanks so much Lisa, I truly appreciate it. Glad you enjoyed ☺️ Thanks for watching!!
Peaceful video. I wish I could collect moss where I am. Unfortunately, I live near the Pine Barrens, so it's highly illegal to harvest moss because it's all extremely slow growing, endangered Reindeer moss. 😢 but man, I never buy pinecones, nuh-uh!! Hehe. Thanks for the great video.
Oh wow, ya, this is sheet moss that I gathered. It's like a carpet in the forest around here. So pretty.
LOL, I hear you about pinecones 😉😆 Thank you for watching. Take care 💖
Wow! Absolutely beautiful scenery!
Thank you 💖💖💖
💚💚💚💚
Thanks Donna 💖💖💖
What cool video! I love how the wood just falls out of the birch bark. You are so talented my friend!
Thank you so much Tina 😀 Ya, that was awesome that the wood fell out, so much easier to collect!! Thanks for watching my friend. Take care 💖😀
Loved your video! It made me realize how much I miss going out and gathering things for the seasons.
Can't wait for fall! Thanks for inviting
us along, I really enjoyed it! I'm so glad I found your channel!
💚💙💛🌎🌍🌏💛💙💚
Yay, so glad you enjoyed!!! Thanks for coming along!! Take care Cathy 💖😉

😊😊😊
Never saw the mini pine cones and our state forest was a foot away from my bedroom window growing up.
Must've been beautiful scenery 💖
@@creartivebynature now... yes...then...no. complete darkness. I was a kid and it scared the crap out of me at night.
@@lorrainejones3600 lol, I get it 😉 As kids our imagination can run wild 😳😃
@@creartivebynature are you kidding me? Shit, everything lived in that forest. Bigfoot, Loch Ness Monster, Jaws, cannibals, Texas Chainsaw Massacre people, John Wayne Gacy, Dracula, the Wolfman, escaped convicts, the Boogeyman, alligators, crocodiles....the hell I put myself through lol
@@lorrainejones3600 😳😳😳
Hi Donna, Your channel just came across on my RUclips. I love love everything you do!🫶🏼! When you mentioned your foraging video I couldn’t wait to see it.
We are worlds apart in age; I’m 69, I live in south Alabama USA, and a little disabled. However, I still love to forage when I can. I have 3 acres to forage on. The birch trees I have exfoliate their bark, I have pines, I have found abandoned birds nest. But my favorite is I can grow my own Spanish moss.
But I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL AND YOUR LOVE OF NATURE 🥰❤️🫶 I will keep watching and crafting with you. Thanks again!
WHAT?!?! You can grow your own Spanish Moss?? Wow, that would be awesome!!! I can get sheet moss and reindeer moss, but Spanish moss does grow here.
Oh that would be a dream to have my own forest to Forage in!!
I am so glad you enjoyed!!
Thanks for watching and sharing with me 🤗
Take care 💖
What a fun video Donna! I'm going to keep my eyes open when I go hiking in the mountains next week. I love watching your videos when you use all these natural goodies! Blessings, Helen
Aw, thanks so much Helen!! I greatly appreciate it. It's definitely something that I find so enjoyable and the whole family can take part in!!
I hope all is well. It's been busy here with gardening, making jam, working on projects and taking in all that summer has for us!!
I'll have to catch up on your content when I get a chance. Take care my friend! 💖😄
What a relaxing and fun video Donna! I loved it! 🥰🤗
Aw, thanks Lisa 😊 I hope you have a wonderful weekend 💖
Love this! Was planning a similar thing myself as I've had so many requests especially for moss!
Oh that would be awesome 😃 Definitely do it!!!
Thanks for watching my friend ❤️
I am so interested in the moss part! I have moss on my property, I'm looking at it with a new set of eyes!!!
@@nancyferreira1745 yes definitely collect it all! I use moss I get for free, hardly use Spanish moss or reindeer moss anymore (unless I want that look and style specifically)
Wow! Great foraging. I was wondering how you get the birch bark. ❤️ I was fortunate to find some very beautiful pine cones. Lots of them on the ground. Most were not open. I bet we picked over 100. They are opening now. They are long and perfect! Christmas wreaths? Ideas?
Aw, thanks so much, I truly appreciate it. Glad you enjoyed. I am hoping to have ideas closer to the Christmas crafting season, so definitely stay tuned😉 Thanks for watching Fran!! Take care 💖
Oh…, in Europe it is forbitten to take even dead things from the nature. The call the landscape is to be renatured or something like this. Of course you may take some pine cones or smaller pieces of wood but it is better to ask the foerster. It’s always better to live in a bigger country😂. Today I took some pieces of thrift wood as the river was very low and I thought they will swim bag when the water rises again and than may be even dangerous, but they told me …no 😡
The birch bark would be my dream. You can buy some at Amazon for example but they don’t seam to be as great and they are really expensive. You really can be happy. Such nice things! Did you know that you can great fire starters for your fire place when you dip them in candle wax? It looks really nice and it’s also a beautiful present in winter if packed nicely.
Oh.., I am jealous 😢, such beautiful finds! A few year ago, I often collect rose hips and similar things to create an autumn wreath and the Försters were happy if you took dead things, because they „cleaned“ the forest, but those days are over…, unfortunately…! But of course…, in smaller countries…, if everybody would does it. You know if any walker takes only one apple from a tree, than it will be empty within a few days. Well yes, I understand this😩 and it’s highly forbidden, but Canada is full of nature…. Sooooo nice! Much fun with all that great stuff!💕
I am truly grateful for the ability to go foraging. There are so many places for me to go and so many things to find.
Yes, my hubby makes fire starters that way 😉
Thanks so much for watching and sharing with me.
Have a wonderful week 😊 💖
I love this video!!! I am from the deep south and I didn't know that there were so many different kinds of pine trees all together like that. Also I have a question. I'm in Florida now and we have the kind of moss that grows on the ground that isn't high above it but is very green and I was wondering if I could forage that and what I would need to do to it?
I am so glad you enjoyed!! Without knowing the type of moss, I can't say for sure, sorry. I would make sure that it's in an area that you're allowed to pick, and only pick if there's plenty of it around. Sorry I can't help you further. Feel free to send me a pic via Instagram, I can see if I know the variety 😉
Thanks for watching 💖
How long should they be in the oven ?
For the moss , what temperature in the oven and again how long ?
I don't go any higher than 250f, but preferably lower.I keep a close eye on it. I would say approx 20 min, but it depends on temp, each oven is different as well 😉
I'm planning on going foraging again and going more in-depth about preparing our foraged finds for crafting. So definitely keep watch for that 😉
Thanks for watching 💖
What about bugs ?
What temp and how long in oven?
It really depends on your oven. If it's a hotter oven go less than 200F, if it's cooler, more than 200F. But no more than 200F!!
The time again depends, if things are wet it'll take longer. I always suggest keeping an eye on things. After 10 - 15 min check things, it may need more time. I go over it all in this video ruclips.net/video/Noo65LkF_yg/видео.htmlsi=1rVeiedg3pGz_Ywh😉
Thanks so much for watching. I hope this helps. Take care
Where do you live. We don’t have birch Forrest’s here.
I'm in British Columbia Canada 😉💖
What State do you live in? I'm in Northern California
