What Have I Been Doing During The Last 6 Months?

[@lindasmith3646]

Val, you are such a hoot to watch and listen to, I really don’t care what you make your videos about, i’M GOING TO WATCH THEM!

[@UnrulyHousewife]

Bless you Linda! LOL xx

[@hazelparr8461]

Missed you Hun! In my mid 40's but moving to Scotland in a couple of weeks! Lovely and quiet and remote xxx

[@UnrulyHousewife]

That sounds so nice 🙂

[@Beryllahawk]

VERY nice tattoo! Glad to see you again!! Lots of hugs!

[@UnrulyHousewife]

Thanks sweetie xx

[@bethhamm3596]

Good to see your fun self again! Keep posting, you are infectious! 😻

[@judiedmundson2736]

Nice to see you back again. Love the tattoo! 💕💕

[@UnrulyHousewife]

Thanks! I was wearing shorts BTW, not sure that showed LOL. Plus I did a "big finish" with my belly 🤣

[@grammyspa-jammies1737]

So good to see you! We keep coming back because we love you so much! I keep hoping you might get back into polymer clay projects, but happy to hear from you always! Love you, too! 💕

[@UnrulyHousewife]

Thanks so much! I haven't thrown away my clay yet, just need some new ideas. xx

[@Jewelryplaywithpolymerclay]

Hi Val! Love the tat! So glad you’re back. I always enjoy your videos no matter what they’re about. How about some polymer clay vids?

[@UnrulyHousewife]

Never say never. If I get a new idea I will.

[@qrissy3742]

Lovely to see you! YES, bring on the prep vid! 😃

[@UnrulyHousewife]

Coming soon! xx ❤️

[@shoeiqueen]

Good to see that you are ok. Love the tattoo. You make a video and I'm sure I wont be the only one watching it. Every little helps. Keep smiling. Leanne😁

[@UnrulyHousewife]

Thanks! I haven't been in at all the right head space lately but today I just went for it. xx

[@cadencechrome4783]

Great to see you! It's so fun to hear what you've been up to and I could never have guessed the answer. Too cool Lady. I wonder if when your hubby comes home at the end of the day if he kinda braces himself when asking "what have you been up to today, Dear" ❤❤

[@UnrulyHousewife]

He really does and then he reacts with a jaded look and a dry "Of course you have."

[@tracywestby2231]

I wonder if our age has something to do with the casual preping. I too have started and I'm 52. Course it could simply be the state of things I suppose. Anyway; your looking good! Happy to hear from you. The tatoo looks great!

[@UnrulyHousewife]

Thank you! I think age does make you more wary and I have been snowed in for a week in the past, or battled through regular power cuts. Plus, as you say, things have been a bit crazy for the past few years (and now). xx

[@genevatungate1006]

What lindasmith said is exactly what I was going to type! I love your mannerisms and the way you talk! Kick boxing sounds like fun! I think the tattoo looks good and very ballsy of you. I'm 55 and just too scared to do it. Your awesome! Glad your back!

[@renatamcadams6837]

Wish you would do more polymer clay tutorials. They were great and I learned a lot!

[@UnrulyHousewife]

Aw thanks! As I replied to somebody else, I really don't get inspired to make videos of polymer claying unless I get an original idea. I might do it if I make something tiny for the doll's house but I'm aware there are better miniaturists than me. I bet I have posted some you haven't seen yet... If not THANK YOU for watching so many! xx

[@susangodfrey7283]

So good seeing you again I’m recovering from spine surgery so am quite envious of your ability to do kick boxing ( I’m 68) Waiting for my full recovery to get my first tattoo with my daughters

[@UnrulyHousewife]

Yes! It's really fun and I don't think it hurts, you just have to think happy thoughts LOL. EDIT: I mean getting tattooed, not spine surgery LOL. Get well soon! xx

[@donnastevens8832]

Love the tattoo. Kick boxing would be fantastic but as I struggle to walk, it’s doubtful if I could improve my health enough to even stand long enough to do a kick lol. As to the prepping, I’m planning to build a veg garden once I get settled into my new place as I recently moved and all is total chaos atm. I’m trying to work on building compost heaps, setting up my raised beds and future planning for structures before next spring when I hope to hit the ground running hahaha. Well I can dream at least. Hmm, wondering if I can store bulk prepped type stuff in my attic space? I might need to look into that.

[@UnrulyHousewife]

The only problem I can see with that is if you struggle to walk, you might have a bit of a fight getting preps out of the attic. I really admire your idea of growing stuff - it seems to be the way forward for a lot of Preppers. I am death to all living plants, so sadly I have to hoard tins of Spam LOL.

[@angelay1925]

I'm a prepper too. Nothing major but it saved our lives when our tenants didn't pay their rent for 6 months (our only income), otherwise we wouldn't have been able to eat other than the small amount we grow. Thank goodness I'd stored up the staples for a while before hand. Love your videos, don't care the content, I just love your energy and your sense of fun xxx good to see you xx Also, love the tattoo 😊

[@UnrulyHousewife]

Thanks for your kind words. I'm sorry your tenants let you down but I'm glad you had prepped! I'm building up a well-stocked pantry but also it's good to have a bit of money set aside for emergencies (which Dave is in charge of LOL). xx

[@mayadoka640]

😄So good to see you back at it, Val! You go girl! Keep on keeping on with all your hobbies and preps. 😁

[@UnrulyHousewife]

Thank you! I am going to plan out my preps video properly and hopefully post it early next week. ❤️

[@lo-fi-meditation]

You look as lovely as ever! Welcome back!

[@grannyjclay-joannieholdhus925]

Welcome back, Val!❤

[@jenniferroya3606]

65 but absolutely no wrinkles! Lookin good gal! We have a ‘go bag’ for disaster preparedness but I keep forgetting to make sure everything is up to date! 😅

[@UnrulyHousewife]

There are no wrinkles on a balloon 😂. Some of the preppers I follow don't think anything food-wise is ever out of date... I'm FAR less relaxed LOL.

[@ramonalucas2642]

Great to see you again. Missed you! And as always a pleasure to hear what you are up to! Love and God bless.

[@UnrulyHousewife]

Thank you so much! xx

[@yelloworangered]

Dropping by to say hello! Hope you and yours are well.

[@nitacraftbreak9145]

Your hair looks cute! Good to see you again.

[@UnrulyHousewife]

Thank you!! 😊xx

[@lauriekelty8428]

Awesome tattoo! I miss your videos!

[@UnrulyHousewife]

Thanks! I need to get my act together. xx

[@MsSparkysparks]

Good to see you again!

[@UnrulyHousewife]

Hey, thanks! xx

[@francesmacdonald2234]

Welcome back! You made me laugh, again. No one will ever be able to say you didn’t live your life. Good for you.

[@UnrulyHousewife]

My life has been far more "interesting" than I planned, tbh. xc

[@lindaketner2142]

You are just totally wonderful. Whatever you put up I will watch!!!!

[@UnrulyHousewife]

Aw thanks! In real life I am a miserable old hag though 😂❤️

[@harrispinkham]

She’s back!! Wow that tattoo is BEAUTIFUL Val!! Also, kickboxing is a lot of fun! I love martial arts! Well, in the last six months I’ve realised I’m trans, so at least you didn’t have that 😊

[@yelloworangered]

I am late to see this video and am SO pleased to have a catch up! I was just dropping by to wish you, your friends, and your family a merry Christmas and a happy new year. P.S. I would love to see your views on prepping. Please make us a vid if you're feeling like it.

[@darlaboyle1074]

Nice tat. ❤ They're addictive. My first was from my sister, who tattooed a heart on my hand. I've had 3 more since then. 😊 I live in the US and we were told to stock up on food. So we did. Then we ate it all. 😂 I guess we haven't learned the part of saving it yet. Okay, off to binge watch more of your videos.

[@UnrulyHousewife]

Aw thanks 😊 xx

[@debbiedusterhoft2870]

So great to see you. Yes show us prepping please. Take care.

[@UnrulyHousewife]

Yay, will do! You take care too. xx

[@tjaysilver]

Great to see you back! Love the tattoo, I have been thinking about getting another one but I just haven’t seen or worked out a design yet. You are looking fab btw❤ yes please make another preparation video, hope that is the correct terminology 🤔☺️

[@UnrulyHousewife]

Thanks sweetie 🥰. Prep video is in the planning stage lol.

[@hoiyinwan8233]

Please do prepping video please! Don’t wait another 6 months before making it. Thank you!

[@rosiehutchinson9333]

You're as bonkers as ever LOL . I've not heard of prepping before !!!!!! I do a bit of walking to keep fit (but not enough) LOL

[@UnrulyHousewife]

Watch this space... I think I have to make a prepping video 😁

[@deniseosborne4045]

Missed you so much. Thanks for the update I don’t have any tattoos and don’t plan on any either. The folds of my fat are artistic enough. Lol. Please an update on the kitties

[@UnrulyHousewife]

Haha! I waited until I was so old nobody could say "you'll regret them when you're older". The cats are fine, except Gizmo rings the cat doorbell so often I have to turn it off to get a break LOL.

[@Grambo46]

Bowing down to you 🦸‍♂️🥊🦶 my Unrulyness, I love that you are kicking butt with kick boxing. I got my tattoo at 55, it's on the back of my right shoulder and to be honest I forget I have it. I don't look back there anymore 😂, I'll be 77 this month ugh, golden years my ass. Course you know I moved from California to Minnesota, probably gonna freeze 🥶 this winter. No I'll just stay in and craft and watch the Green Bay Packers football and watch sweet Clara and Scarlett sliding in the snow and having snow ball fights, the property is quiet large and hilly. Love you 😘, Xxxx Grambo ps good luck Brandon

[@UnrulyHousewife]

Thank you sweetie! The property sounds lovely and quite a change, what an adventure! The internet seems to think Minnesota is famous for tins of Spam?!

[@Grambo46]

Cheese curds, they are delicious, spam is Hawaii I thought, who knows.

[@paulaskuse559]

Lovely to see you chick... love the new tattoo 👌

[@UnrulyHousewife]

Thank you!! 😊 Trouble is, nobody sees it unless I pull my trousers down, or my skirt up. That said, I show everyone haha!

[@paulaskuse559]

Good girl 🤭

[@paulaskuse559]

I have one on my boob, I have been known to show also hehehe 🤭

[@PaulaNicholson-n1v]

Brilliant.. good on you! I've just turned 50 and have been pondering tattoos for last few years. Don't think I'll be brave enough to commit any time soon though ha. Are you still kick boxing 6mths in? x😊

[@UnrulyHousewife]

Yep, still going. Literally the best 65 year old lady kickboxer in our village. 😁 Tattoos don't hurt really and once the novelty wears off they just become part of you. The aftercare is the annoying part but it soon passes. xx

[@nilasink3270]

Long time no see. Was thinking about you earlier today!

[@UnrulyHousewife]

Aw thanks! xx

[@wandaadams1772]

Glad to see you. Will you be doing any polymer clay videos? I’ll watch no matter the content.

[@UnrulyHousewife]

Thank you! The problem I have with polymer clay videos is that I have made so many and I honestly don't think I have much more to teach. I don't consider myself a huge expert, so I normally wait (these days) until I get a good idea, either for a technique, or for something "different" to make. xx

[@cindypage8673]

What are you like?! Lol I can always rely on you to make me laugh. Kick boxing, really? You kind of have me intrigued now. I may have to blame you if I end up spending more money on a private physio though. Loving the tatt. I do need to ask though, why the prepping? Do you know something I don't? I have always had the tendency to want to do it, my hubby thinks I am nuts! :) x

[@UnrulyHousewife]

Dave thinks I am nuts in some ways but he is also a natural prepper... If he likes something, he will buy 12 of them, just in case lol. I think my interest started when I realised how lucky I was to have accidentally ordered a second pack of 24 toilet rolls, about a fortnight before lockdown. Since then I have watched some prepping channels and become fascinated.

[@Marisol9111-w3p]

I hope all is well i haven't seen you make a video lately?

[@bettylipsey6371]

Love it!!!!😂

[@sallycooper7677]

We started prepping after the war in the Ukraine started, but are now eating our prepped goods lol....we do however keep a costco pack of toilet paper in the garage as our apocalypse tp, after the covid fiasco lol. Is it rude to ask why you got that particular tattoo? Very pretty and unique

[@UnrulyHousewife]

Thanks! I saw it in Becci's sheet of designs and loved it. I wanted something with skulls, because all three of my sons have skull type tattoos. Skulls can be a bit butch though, so I liked the more gentle look.

[@janetmcbride165]

There's probably a KZbin on how to wrap your hands for kick-boxing. Oh, wait, there is now!

[@UnrulyHousewife]

Haha! I watched LOADS, believe me! My abstract re-creation was definitely wrong 🤣. My teacher showed me but she doesn't like going between the fingers, which is my favourite bit. I forgot to say our class is ladies only but it's slightly less genteel than that makes it sound. xx

[@augustaalecsa9680]

🤗❤

[@Yknotdostuff]

Where are you woman?? Hope you’re ok.

[@LynHannan]

Any more doll's houses?

[@UnrulyHousewife]

I don't have any new houses. I don't know when the next video will be - at least I have some space back now!

[@LynHannan]

@@UnrulyHousewife Space is good, I've been gaining some by donating to thrift shops. I'm sooo ready to downsize and become an empty-nester!

[@fromfattofitinswampyfl1098]

Love the tattoo! I really enjoy your videos.
