Glad things are coming together for you ,I leave in longbeach to, take care❤❤
It’s so nice that Julie is helping you! I think I met Julie on a Zoom awhile ago. Sounds like you’re getting it done. I LOVE olives, it’s one of my favorite foods!!! You seem happy! See you next time.
I love olives too! I know they are a bit high in sodium but other than that they are a great snack for me
With someone there helping, it does make it a little more fun, don’t you notice? You have a few laughs along the way. You are making progress.
I hope I can get it all done - well I have to so....
Great work, ladies! There is little room for sentimentality at this stage of moving prep. The theme is purge, purge, purge!!! (Sorry to say). 🙃 You will feel better in a few weeks. You’re a great friend, Julie and you are deserving, Karla.🌸
Aww thanks.
Hi Karla! It was nice to see Julie with you today 😀 How kind of her to help you pack 💗
It really was fantastic
Yeah Julia!!! You got this, Karla!!!
Thank you!
It’s a lot right now Karla but you will get there . In a few weeks this will all be behind you and you can relax 🌸x
I hope so!
Years ago, my friend was moving from Mississippi to SC (where I live). Her husband was already here working. So I packed up my 4 year old and my 6 week old and headed to MS. We spent the month out there with her, her 2 year old, and 5 week old (LOL) packing up the house and shopping and just existing. It was great fun and made the chore of packing and moving more feasible for her!
It made it so much better to be doing it with someone!
Hi Karla and Julie! In my recent move I felt like the proportion of boxes that were labeled “craft room” vs other rooms was really high, lol
I am trying not to lable to many things "Misc" but there is so much stuff...
I know it’s a lot of work but having a great friend to help makes it go a lot faster. Julie is amazing friend. Thanks for the update have a wonderful week 😊🧵🪡🤗🤩
Absolutely!!
Thanks for the updates glad everything is going good for you take care 😊🧵🪡🤗🤩
Thank you! 😊
😊🧵🪡🤗🤩
Thanks for watching!
You are doing a great job, delighted to be keeping up with you. Can't wait to see the new space and whatever you care to share. You so loved! ❤️ 😍 😍 8
Thank you so much!
Wow, starting a loop from the front was NEVER on my radar. I am definitely going to start doing this as I am currently working on a 24x22 full coverage and this will make it WAY easier!
Glad it was helpful!
💜💜💜
thanks for watching
Honestly, Karla, I’m so excited for this move for you. As physically difficulty as moving can be, I think you are doing a wonderful job. I’ve watched you forever and never miss a video, so you doing this is great as it’s like keeping in touch with a friend. I can’t wait to see what crafting is like for you in the new place. I believe once you start doing it again it will have a mind of its own and you’ll be ‘back in the saddle”. Do what you need to do now and take it slow. It will all be worth it! 😊
I know I will be in a really good place which is exciting, but the getting there part is ...tiring
Happy belated birthday 🎂 Playing catch up again. 😊🧵🪡🤗🤩
Thank you! 🤗
Hi Karla! Great update 💗💜💚
Thank you
🖤💛🧵✔️💛🖤
Thanks for watching Devi
So glad to see you Karla! 💖 with small baby steps things will progress forward as well as keeping the overwhelming feelings at bay. You are doing great!!! 💕💕💕
Thankyou!
Hi Karla, I am glad you posted an update. You are doing so good with taking your time and packing. Remember, you are still working and doing other things while moving so it is a great progress. Think about all the stitchy goods you will be able to get now that you will be saving money. That will help motivate you to start stitching again.
I can't forget that I am still working etc - my back won't let me!!
Just go at your own pace and it will all work out, I’m sure. Remember you are making progress !
I am being the tortoise
Hi Karla. I used to get tonsillitis a lot when I was a kid and sore throats as an adult too. I wish they would have taken my tonsils out but my doctor said it was better to leave them in! Anyway I know you don’t feel good because you’re run down from all the work you’re doing. It sounds like you’re paying way too much for cleaning people. I’m not sure if you have this but we have a senior center that has cleaning people as well as other things but the cleaning people are very inexpensive. That’s just a suggestion. I’m glad you’re going to have some help. I’m sure once you’re settled in you’ll pick up your stitching and crocheting-I’m sure of it! Have a good week.
I had my tonsils out in my 20s. I think prices for stuff is very different between MI and CA - we are really happy with a quote of $120
@@karlabeingcrafty1089 well since I’m on a fixed income and I have a Bridge card (for food) and according to my income we get a break-I was paying $3 an hour!! I had someone really good but now I pay nothing for someone once a week through the medical insurance I have-there’s a lot of perks but these women do an ok job-not great but it’s what I can afford now!!!!!
Keep smiling and looking to the future.
Thank you
Slow and steady wins the race, but don't do like I do and save 80% to the last day and just throw things into the truck. LOL!
just thinking about that gives me anxiety. I think I will be ready :-)
When I am by myself or we are watching TV I need to keep my hands busy. You never know you and your friend may both find you have crafts and things you like to do together ❤️
I look forward to making a new normal routine
Thanks for checking in. Slowly but surely things will take shape it looks like you've got quite a bit done. Btw how's Blackey?
Baggy is stressed and doesn't like all the chaos - but I am trying to give him lots of pets and reassure him that I am still here and he is safe
I feel your pain!! I just moved the beginning of this month after being in my previous apartment for almost 9 years. Also emptied the storage unit of stuff from the previous home of 15 years. Most of that was untouched for 9 years so mostly donated. I love the excitement you have of extra crafting space! I'll admit, I'm enjoying that too. More than double the space I had previously so there is space to keep some stuff out such as the sewing machine and the a diamond painting WIP!! Even though it is a struggle now, it's all worth it in the end!
Thank you for the encouragement
Moving is very hard on the body take care of yourself, have a packing party😊
I have friends coming to help for the next three weekends til the move ;-)
Love you checking in and letting us know how you are doing. Looks like you are making. A lot of progress. Have a good week.
Thank you so much!
The hardest part is just getting started which you have done! A new beginning is just around the corner. Take care of yourself Karla, you are in my prayers.
Thank you!
Thank you so much for the update on the moving process and how it is going. Just think of how many toys Baggy will have when the cat tree gets moved. LOL I haven't crafted since the day of the move. Even though the movers were supposed to pack and label everything, it has been such a mess. Nearly every box has been mislabeled and/or things from multiple rooms thrown into a box. I am nearly done with my room and the kitchen but have 2 more boxes for the pantry that I don't know where I am going to put since the majority of it was stuff that only my mom used and she can't reach above the 4th shelf of most pantries. I can so relate to the being sore and bad bodyaches. Take care my friend. Love and hugs to you and Baggy. Dawn
Hopefully in about 6 weeks we will both be settled and life willb e smooth sailing - at least for a little while :-)
Glad to hear things have been going smoothly for you, Karla.
Thanks
Thank you for the check-in Karla. 💖⭐️🇺🇸❤️
thank you for watching!
Thanks for the check in, I am here for it! I'm in a big transition right now too, and I want to be 25 again with that body and energy *haha* I appreciate hearing your excitement about having more space to exist in at the new place. So I know it's super weird bcuz you don't know me but wow I'm so PROUD of you! Just keeping up with these videos, putting yourself out there on the internet being real & honest, making big moves, dealing with cars & money & job as a solo woman. I am moving spaces also, and I have added some protein drinks & snacks because I was surviving on chips and PBJ - and I think it's helped my cognition. Keep 'em coming, Karla! xox
thanks for all your encourageing words. Moving is the worst!!
You’ve gotten a lot packed! I hate packing, it’s such a chore! But what an exciting time! Please make sure to listen to your body and mind and take a break and day off when you need to, you’ve allowed yourself plenty of time! 💕💕💕
Thank you
I have moved over 100 times and know it never gets easier. Please rest as much as you can ❤
this is my 3rd since 2017 - I hate it - but it will be better once I am done with this part
I cannot imagine moving! It sounds like a good life change for you, just the packing and unpacking is the unpleasant part. It does force a person to organize their stuff though. The best of luck and rest much as you can between dealing with moving!
thank you!
You are getting somewhere with this move. It’s hard to do. Six weeks from now you will be getting into the routine of a new normal. You are going to get through this. ❤
thanks for the encouragement!
Good to see you happy! You’re getting there.
I am chugging along
I love your moving chronicles. Moving is such a chore. It will be over soon.
It is the worst!
Happy belated birthday Karla! Thanks for the update 💗
Thank you!!
💛🖤🪡🧵🖤💛
Hi Devi!
I'm enjoying the hell out of this series. It's amazing that Dave is doing a reno before you move in, it'll be fantastic. So excited for both you and Lorraine. I'm glad you are going to have help packing, haha I'll admit when you first started talking about being overwhelmed with packing I went to see how much a flight from DTW->LAX so I could come help!! Sometimes I'm a bit much ;) I enjoyed hearing about the dishware, maybe you can show it to us when you get to unwrapping it. Love the rambly bits, Karla, keep it coming. So many of us are struggling with low energy, pain & feeling stuck - and look at you just being a MF ROCKSTAR & moving forward and showing us how to do it. Your mom raised a powerful woman! xox
Awww - such kind words. I keep repeating to myself - tough times don't last - tough people do ;-)
@@karlabeingcrafty1089 and happy birthday mine was the 8th I'm 51 and I love it
Happy belated birthday. You’re so right about cats not liking change to their environment. I also have 2 autistic children who don’t cope well with change either, so when it comes to Christmas or other holidays I don’t tend to decorate much anyway, but my cat in particular has a huge dislike of Santa figures- I have a lovely Victorian type Santa but every time my cat sees it, he rushes past it like Santa’s the most dodgy guy ever! 😂 so that doesn’t come out now- my cat has had urinary issues before and stress doesn’t help with that so it’s best to just keep things same old same old. Good luck with your move and I hope Baggy doesn’t find it too stressful xx
Thank you - I hope he adjusts quickly too.
This is Hudson I use my moms account but stay crafty aunt Karla 😊
Thanks sweet boy!!
Happy belated birthday! Our cat went straight from the cat carrier to my son's room and burrowed his way into my son's bed and basically stayed there for a good week/week and a half. She's just in the past few days come out and started roaming around the new house. Hopefully Baggy adjusted to the new place easily!
I hope he does. I am fully prepared for hm to be pissed at me for a good while.
Chaos ... yes! Sadly, I got to a point (probably way too soon in the progress) where I just started throwing random things in boxes and sorting it out once I got to the new house (thankfully it was only 20 miles between houses!)
I am trying to do a bit each day but I am alrady bone tired!
@@karlabeingcrafty1089 I am SOooooooo tired! LOL, so I totally understand!,
I'm playing catch up ... because I've been moving, LOL. You're right, it's a huge undertaking. I'm glad we've done it (still doing it, but we're almost there), but I've already told my kids I don't think I'm ever moving again, so they can clean out this house when I'm gone in 45-50 years, LOL. We lived in the house we moved from for 23 years ... as I'm sure you're finding out, it is amazing how much stuff accumulates over time. There has been a lot of purging and re-thinking of what I really want to keep -- crafting supplies included. I have decided that I am not allowed to purchase anymore craft supplies until some of what I have is used up. I have put in about 10 stitches over the past 2 weeks. I'm really hoping that tonight I can spend some time stitching!! I'm really glad this opportunity has come along for you! ~Katrina
once I get throught he actual move - which is the pits - I know I am going to be in a much happier place.
Happy belated Birthday! I enjoy your videos. They keep us informed how you are doing with your move. Best of luck to you. Have a terrific week.
Thank you so much!
