So great to see you, I enjoy your videos so much, and I binged watched all of your videos last year, and I make sure I watch each video you b post here on KZbin. I really love what you did to the laundry room. The black really brought out allot of character in the room. I love that you adopted a cat from the shelter, she is a very beautiful cat, and you don’t find many cats that like water, but she sure seems to enjoy it alot. You are such a beautiful woman and have such a soothing voice when you talk and it makes it so enjoyable to watch you.

Thanks James, the bath water was actually for something else and when I walked back in the bathroom, Mimi was in there of her own accord, I was surprised but it did explain why the laundry room often had water everywhere….lol

@@MoatCottage she is so cute!! You make such relaxing videos and it is just so calming and soothing to watch. I enjoyed your latest video on the alpaca wool and how you can make so many different things with it. Just so much informative information.

So lovely to see your latest video ❤. I love your black walls, and just so happen to be in the midst of choosing a black for my kitchen. Can I ask what black you use? It looks great. Congrats on your new kitty edition too ❤

Thank you kindly and yes of course, Klavier is the black I love most and use here, it’s a Dulux colour.

Hello Kara, yes thankfully we are fine here at the moment. I’m a fair way south to the current fires and it is very dry, but still cool here.

Melb girl here. The palm trees I feel your pain, one of mine took a savage beating in that last crazy storm a couple of weeks ago. I also had to get an arborist in to cut it down sadly. It was leaning bad after the storm. But on the flip side I had space for another tree😊 and no more stress watching the palm tree from the window on stormy nights 😂

@MoatCottage 3 ай бұрын

Hey fellow Victorian, there have certainly been some wild storms lately. It is definitely peace of mind being palm tree free! I hope everything else was ok in that storm.

I like the contrast in your rooms. My favorite bedroom had a black ceiling with beige walls and white eyelet curtains and comforter. Thanks for sharing.

Great to see you again and updates. We're heading to Fall here. It officially starts on September 23. My birthday is September 24. I lost my last job on July 17, 2023. No one has hired me for the skills I have since then. I got a text from insurance that there is a program that teaches women in West Virginia carpentry, electrical, and plumbing. More skills mean more job opportunities and I could use those skills at home. I likely have to build our next house to get the large closet in my room (have two weeks of Spring/Summer and Fall/Winter skirts and dresses that need to be hung as well as my coats, jackets, robes, and baby doll lingerie) and a large pantry (I plan to can, ferment, and vacuum seal food so I need lots of space for glass jars and sturdy shelves to place them on). I can't find those in houses here. I found seven discount metal house kits that have those features and the right number of bedrooms and bathrooms for a family of 3. I mistakenly enrolled in Step Up Manufacturing. At the interview I wasn't deemed a good fit. They did recommend me to Partner Up which helps with barriers to goals. I found the correct form and enrolled in Step Up Construction. They also help with resume writing and job placement. I did my interview. They said the uniform is work appropriate pants. At my last job I could wear my long skirts and dresses so I never needed pants. I'm allergic to polyester, nylon, rayon, and satin. Mom bought me two pants that are the correct length. I'd like at least 3 more to approximate a school week. The rest I tried on were too long and needed hemmed or I will look closer and see if they come in shorter lengths. Of the two I have, that information wasn't on the hanger but it was on the tag. Regular fit. Tall would have been too long. I have proportionally short legs I have to wait until her next payday. Mom has been giving a lot of money to a scammer. Several people including me warned her but she doesn't listen so she'll have to learn the hard way. Rehabilitation wants me to do an eye exam and a Psych evaluation. They told me there is a program that magnifies things so vision impaired people can drive during the day. It doesn't work at night. I can't pass the vision test to drive normally. If I qualify, I could drive myself to class. If I don't, I will try to get a bike as that's the second fastest way to get to places. Last time I rode a bike my bust was proportional sizes and now they are proportionally too large. I'm a 34GG or 32HH. It is 34D that matches my hips. I messaged the class that it was okay to bump me to their Spring class to have time to get the rest done. I updated my ID as it expires on my birthday. I should receive my card in the mail on the 21st. Daniel entered high school this year. He made his first F in Music in Movies. I'm not upset since that isn't an essential life skill. I haven't watched a movie in a long time. Before his lowest grade was a B.
