It's Time For a Q&A! | Let's Catch Up! (Replay)

[@natalialopes719]

I love the times when you show us bits and pieces of your performances. My son is a US Navy advanced music instructor and conductor. He is of course no longer home, but I loved when he was home and I could hear him practicing every day. He plays the Euphonium and the Trombone. I also loved his college concerts. I have attended some of his US Navy concerts, and I adore going to those.

Wish I caught live but I’m here for the replay

Kay, I live with a musician! Having that separate space from the living spaces is IMPORTANT. I have my craft/ Nail room/ office is a godsend. His having his music/office room is also a godsend. We can keep communal/ living spaces more uncluttered and comfy, guest friendly, and we don't feel like we're living in a dorm room!

[@MakeupCleaningAndCats]

Me too, except we share the office space! Our second bedroom is the music and diy room lol. DIY supplies are in a dresser. We have instruments hanging in the office and have 2 desks. Bigger equipment like speakers and more instruments are in the garage in a corner so it’s easier to take out to gigs. Oh I guess there’s also one hanging in the living room and bedroom lol

@@MakeupCleaningAndCats we do have a guitar in the bedroom, and two in the LR, but the rest of his instruments (more guitars, a bass, keyboards and drum pads, speakers, and gig gear are in his music room/office. He doesn't gig out much anymore, due to hearing issues, but is recording. So now he has recording equipment, too! I have my own jewelry studio, nail studio and office in the upstairs larger room. I also have been doing genealogy for 38 yrs. We're able to keep our living spaces less cluttered. I prefer it this way, as does he!

[@MakeupCleaningAndCats]

@@Granof2 ooh that sucks about your husband’s hearing. Woow jewelry studio sounds really fancy! Very cool you have your own offices

[@Granof2]

@@MakeupCleaningAndCats it's beaded and bead weaving.....lots of little tiny supplies! Add in all the binders and whatnot for genealogy, and my nail polish fetish, and it's chaos! Lol! I learned that I'm a micro organizer, prefer frosted containers, and cube shelving!

[@MakeupCleaningAndCats]

@@Granof2 oh yeah I bet that you have to mircro organize with all the little beads! I like both micro and macro organizing but perfect micro too

I’m watching this a little late but I love all your videos 😊

[@therealjenniferrr]

The restocking videos can be so satisfying but so triggering at the same time...

I'm coming out to Boston next month to see my dad's family! So excited! Sorry, that's random haha

[@celinaquiros9381]

[@TheOrganizedSoprano]

Have the best time! The weather should be decent although June is always a crap shoot. Could be cool and rainy…could be gorgeous. Ya nevah know!

[@christineweatherford5852]

This is so great Kay, we love these tips!

[@NoDecaf7]

I love a replay. Ty for leaving this up! Your voice has become part of my cleaning routine ❤

[@NoDecaf7]

Ohh for crafting, as soon as I put my supplies in opaque storage, they don't exist to me any longer. to avoid craft supplies being forgotten, I try to rotate my craft hobbies out every month. Even my fountain pen inks get rotated, a new color palette every month for my journal! Rotating hobbies helps me avoid feelings of burnout, which inevitably lead me to abandon the hobby permanently. Regarding the items of a loved one who has passed, I believe in keeping small items. For my grandma, I kept a crochet doily that her mother made, a couple of jewelry items, cookbooks, and the tube of lipstick she was actively using (Maybelline Pink Rose, very traditional old lady grandma pink, which I plan on getting rid of because cosmetics grow things on them, but at the time I couldn't leave it...). For my gram, it was her very well loved cigarette case and a ring that I still wear every day. I struggle to dispose of letters. I still have every letter my mom wrote me after my folks split when I was a child. Having a writing sample from a loved one, knowing they took the time to put pen to paper, I can't let go of those. I've kept handwritten recipes and continue to ask my dad to write out recipes for me in his hand. One of the most beautiful things I found when flipping through my grandma's cookbook was a simple to-do list / grocery list. I never appreciated that chicken scratch handwriting so much. To the beautiful lovely commenter who is having a hysterectomy, I hope everything goes smoothly ❤❤
