Love watching people set up their rooms .
Love watching you and how you set up your studio. Don’t sell yourself short, you’re awesome!
I feel ya Nicole. It's very overwhelming. Sure take us a long so we can feel like we are part of the process.... We appreciate you! Go girl 💪
I am the same way. I know about things having to go first before the next thing. Often, I find I need to move the item I did an hour before to finally fit something in that space. Then find another spot for what you just removed. I get overwhelmed and often shut down after several hours of chaos and actually have to leave the space and work in another room. I enjoy these videos. Those of us who like your videos on a usual basis just enjoy seeing you. wish I could be there to help.
Oh that domino effect drives me crazy. Love these types of videos because we all experience the same "crap." Hang in there, you will work it out soon.
Keep these vlogs coming. It’ll get me in gear and realize my plans for my space 🎉
I love watching this
It’s nice to see a variety of things. You are human too and do experience the same issues we all do.
Love watching. Take one day at a time. I moved things several times before it felt right.
I like vlog style videos, and you’re helping motivate me to get my bum in gear to organize my front room into my sewing studio… I moved here a year ago 😂
My sewing area is trashed right now, to the point where I really have a hard time finding anything. I too get overwhelmed at the amount I need to clean up and your video is inspiring me to get it in gear and just get started.
Same! I need to get into it but I just can't bring myself too.
Take it Day by Day. At the End of the day your Room will look Fabulous.
I’m also easily overwhelmed. To deal with this, I make a list with checkboxes, and check off each task as I complete it. Seeing the checks calms me down.
Hi, you're doing great! I have a 10' x 11' sun room. I use it for my sewing room. I had so much to put in it, so I made a grid. With Graff paper t marked out room, doors etc. Using each square a 12" area. Then I used Graff paper to draw out base of cutting table, sewing table, cabinets, etc. Then I cut out and moved in my Graff room drawing. Mark windows and heights for the room and outlets. This saved so much time in moving things over and over.
When you posted this, House of Dragons was going off. Perfect timing. I've learned that when I can't, I can't. I'm still a work in progress on accepting it but I will tell you I have the head space for other things and it feels great. The need to take on others problems issues etc etc is a thing of the past. You will eventually get there. Keep vlogging. We all have a head space like this. You're not alone. Unsure if you're alone in the floating neither regions. 😂
I like to see real life. I put together my IKEA furniture too but I have no one to talk to! LOL! Keep it up. Love it!
You have the cutest personality! Yes, please keep sharing. I remember the day that my goal was to clean out the junk drawer in the kitchen. I started that and must have taken something from the drawer to put in my closet? or I’m not sure what happened, but 9 hours later…I had a whole new closet organizer in my bedroom closet and the junk drawer was still standing open and wasn’t organized. 🤷🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️😬
I did like it!! Thank you for taking the time to record!! I pretty much like ALL your videos!
Thank you for sharing. Your willingness to be vulnerable is really courageous. Good luck with the pattern. I'm sure that it will turn out amazing as always. Keep your head up.
Real and Raw! 👊🏻 And as Lauren said “content!” Keep going ❤
I totally get where you’re at Nicole! I moved my sewing room from downstairs to up and have too much stuff, totally overwhelming. 😘 Hang in there!
I loved watching this. You are so relatable and I love seeing your room and thought process
I'm very overwhelmed in my space too. I need some quiet time.
I def dig this style of video from you. I appreciate how real you are 💛
I think it is therapeutic for you to do this right now. Moving and setting up a new studio is hard and stressful for sure.
Love seeing your new space in progress!
I really enjoyed this video! I also really love your tattoos! Please keep showing your progress!
I really enjoy your open heart. Thank you for sharing this! Best to you with moving into your new home!
Accountability can be a great motivator and your video sure motivated my organizing block. Thanks. Yes this video was spot on keep up the blogs. P.S. can’t wait for the new pattern.
Everything you said about overwhelm & charging in to get things done, could’ve (and has!) come outta my mouth. Gadfry I sure can relate. I’m setting up a new studio too and it’s hard! I call it the Domino Effect that every task is linked to the one before and the next one after - it’s like, Where do we start?! Well I’m glad you shared this vid. It’s ok. We’re all human (or most of us 🤪😂). I’m sorry you’re in turmoil but you’re smart and will figure it out. Just like eating an elephant…one bite at a time. Congrats on your move. You can do this. BTW, overwhelm in this case is normal. Be kind to yourself.
I loved your vlog. I admire you sharing so many personal details.
Yea for Ikea!! Booooo for Spectrum and Verizon!! And yea for getting your printer set up!! You gotta get comfy with a mantra like "this is good enough for today" until you get your setup the way you like it for keeps ❤ I have my sewing stuff on two Ikea cabinets similar to how you explained with the table top on them but I got a huge butcherblock countertop that I put on them and I love it. 10 out of 10 recommend. Moving is such a pain :/ but it'll get comfier soon!
I do that too, Nicole. Maybe your love language has an element of service. I take on things because it will annoy me if I don't just deal w it (needing to either know the details or them not doing it how I would). Get it!
acts of service is 10000% my love language so that actually makes a lot of sense!
Yes! I think we can all relate. I moved into my sewing room two years ago. I was originally in my spare room/laundry/dressing room/ storage room and my sewing room…not a big room either. I thought i had planned the layout down to a T but I found it very difficultl it’s changed a lot and then a year ago my industrial arrived which meant another change. It never looks like I want..I’ve seem to accumulated a lot more stuff and I still haven’t got enough room lol.
Great video, very relatable. sometimes it just takes a moment to step back and let ideas flow. I lived with my space setup for over a year before the idea of the layout I have now finally fell into place. I had to learn how I worked in the new space . Can't wait to see your room finished.❤
Yeyy! Good job - now you know just record everything to keep you on track 😉. I’m the flat pack queen in my house too - husband is not permitted to build flat pack anything as he always does it wrong. 😂 But he’s great at all the other DIY so I don’t mind. Hope you got Wi-Fi sorted! 😊
I love watching videos like this! My sewing room is a disaster and I need to get motivated to do something about it and these videos always help. Thanks for sharing life with us.
I moved into my new sewing space more than a year ago and everyday, I move something even if it's small. I did same in my last and I was in there like 6 years. Great content! I think the feeling of being overwhelmed are very common. Glad I'm not alone, and here's to working through it all🎉
I can relate so much. Hang in there.
I get so overwhelmed I get nothing done. 😄
Yes please show us, I can relate❤
I like videos like this.
Loved your vlog!! Do more please.
Lovin’ this video so so much! I, like you, like to kind of “take over” my husband’s little jobs but mainly it’s because he has no idea how to do it. This applies to anything technical at all! He’s clueless when it comes to that but as far as fixing things and working outside he does all of that! He’s a kitchen installer btw! I’m always the one who has to talk to Verizon and companies like that. They are so inefficient and I also cannot stand it! I guess you could say I’m a little controlling and I don’t think that’s a good thing but I’m 69 yo and am having a difficult time trying to change that part of me!
Good morning . . . Here from SW Washington state.
This is so relatable. People like to be relatable so they know they aren’t alone. Takes courage to put it out there on the interwebs. Can’t wait to see how you set up your studio.
Totally can relate!
Yes! Please keep sharing your process. It makes us (me) feel more sane in our craziness. I had a lovely time sewing along to your desk building this evening.
A year ago this month I sold my parents home which they had lived in for 60+ years, at the same time I bought a new house. I feel your angst. There were times it was so overwhelming I thought I would have a meltdown. I had a crazy long list like yours and sometimes just crossing something off was the best feeling. It took a few months (mostly just the odds and end stuff) and one day I realized there were no more boxes in the garage and my house was a wonderful place-especially loved having a sewing room that did not double as a guest room. When I would get overwhelmed, I would pick one thing on my list that I knew I could get finished quickly and that helped tremendously. I love the vlog and would love to watch your progress on your new studio. Good luck
Okay, I’m a compulsive advice giver 😅 and here’s what I did when I set up, and relocated my sewing space, 3 times in 4 years.
Lists. I made a list of all the furniture/shelving I had to use, with dimensions, and also a list of all the things that needed placing: fabric, sewing machine, heat press. I drew out the room, with dimensions. And just started playing. I started with my “ideal”, ie I want my desk here so I can look outside, or this shelf here so I can access this easy, etc. Check things off as you place them, so you can easily see what’s left, and don’t miss anything. Make sure you put the thing you use all the time right next to you, and the things you only use occasionally, further away. Don’t mistake importance for need of proximity. It’s great you already figured out the light in your glasses. I just kept playing with pencil and paper (although there must be an app that can do that, but don’t go down that rabbit hole!!) and kept playing until I had a starting point. Hopefully this is helpful. I LOVE doing this. It’s one of those “invest some time up front, and future you will thank you” Good luck! Love these videos, can’t wait to see the results!! ❤
Ohhhhh your going to be busy vacuuming lol
Loved the video ❤
Yes, please keep recording videos like this, I like seeing this kind of videos cause sometimes I get new ideas on how to move my sewing room around plus .
As I have been told by strong women friends, "Keep the Faith, Baby!" You are your biggest critic, but look what you got done! I personally appreciate this video and look forward to the next one!!
No DIY furniture making is complete without the the odd extra pieces found at the end!!
😂😂
You are my twin! I am totally exactly like you. This could have been my video. Are you a Scorpio by any chance😂
