I appreciate that!

Thank you Helen:)

ahh funny, My drawer is exploding a bit too these days since I need to get rid of the stuff that's to worn out.. I just need to make some new items first:)

Thank you!

Well said! Thank you for your support:) It took me a while to figure it out haha but better late than never right:)

Yay! Thank you!

Love that! Hope you have a fun journey:)

I'm so glad, so nice with this responce from every one:)! I hope you will like the future videos as well:)

Yay! Thank you Theresa I've missed your comments, glad you are still here:)

Than you Bea, happy to hear from you:)

thanks:)

thank you:):)

Thank you Sarah:):)

Thank you Jenny, always nice to see a comment from you:)

Awesome! Thank you!

That is awesome, now I have something to aspire to:):) That is amazing that you even made your own underwear.. that will probably be one of the last things I get to, but could be fun:) So much of my clothes is on it's last leg so I will have plenty of opportunities to sew a lot in the next few months:) Did you make your own patterns or use the store bought ones? So cool that you are able to find fabric secondhand, I don't think that will be possible in Denmark, but I have seen more fabric stores really gearing up their organic cotton suplies so I hope to be able to find something nice there:)

Thank you for sewing masks:) I will try to include some tips along the way.. in the knitting "department" however I have no tips.. ha ha only trial and error ha ha:) Keep your mashine out and we can learn together:)

@@Godownsize Sounds very good :) I am looking forward to it!

Glad to be back.. finally:)

Thank you! 😃

thank you so much:):)

I hope so! Thanks:)

Thank you!!! I missed it all, just needed a break from it all. Excited to move forward:)

Yes! Thank you! Max is super buzzy so I don't know how I will get it done but I will find a way:)

Go Downsize of course you will! 👍🏾

Great to se you are still here Libby:) I will try make them as informative as possible about ethical fashion too.. as I learn and get comfortable with it:)

Thank you so much!! That is awesome that you are doing the same thing!!:) I don't have set goals with amount of time and items, but I need to replace a good chunk of my clothes within the next year, so the plan is that I want to replace with homemade as the old items fall apart:) I hate polyester too, always get headaches when I wear it, so mostly cotton for me:)

Thanks Gillian, I am focusing on one step at the time and to not get to perfectionistic.. because then I wont get started at all:):)

Yay! Thank you!

That is awesome!

That sounds great Lisa, sounds like you got quite a lot of clothes made though:) I'm excited.. the plan is to replace things with homemade items as things get worn out, don't know how to make jeans though but I'll figure it out:):) Please do the challenge with me and let me know how you are doing:)

You too

Great idea!! I'm not a big thrifter, but morten is great at it, so might have to get his input on it:) Minimalism-that I can do:):) He is doing GREAT, almost 4 and full of energy!:)

Yay! Thank you!

Thank you, and than you for your patience:)

@@Godownsize of course, we all need a bit of break once in a while. Specially if you have family. So no worries. Looking forward for some new content. In case you have a bit free time it would be nice to grab a cap of coffee in Aarhus.

@@gene8194 That would be fun after this summer when Covid is over. Also we leave in 2 weeks and have a lot of things to take care of before that trip, so time is limited right now:)

@@Godownsize no worries, coffee when the weather is bad as just as good as now. Hope you will have a great trip, and let's connect again after you come back.

Thanks for sticking around:)

Ah thank:)

We are doing fine actually. Denmark closed down very early and as a result didn't have to close down combletely, most shops have been open and daycares and school up to 6th grade have been opened back up for a week now. Of course it's still a bad situation and the restrictions are hard in the long run, but not so bad here and soaking up the spring weather we have had over the past month:)

Great idea! Thanks Denise:)

Ah thank you Edson that means a lot:) I actually did a video on this topic 3 years ago, maybe it will help you ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-wluSPjLhJhY.html And if you really love them keep them and downsize more in an area with item you might not care as much about, like the kitchen, photos, shoes ect:)

Thanks:)

Yay, thank you! Molly:)

So good actually:) Happy to start sharing again:)

Thank you Stacy:) Max is doing great, almost 4 which is crazy!! He keeps us buzzy:)

Thanks Amber, glad to be back and hope you will like the new videos:)

🤗thank you so much Jannike:)

Hi, I've missed your comments over the past year, thank you for still being here:)

Hi Nancy, I did a video on this topic 3 years ago, you might like it:) There are also a few videos about the amount of baby clothes you need :) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-yUXJ3KJu0wU.html

Ah tak:)

yeayh:)

Well we never did "Van life":).. but we are leaving on a 4 month trip in our caravan in 2 weeks.. probably as close as we will get to Van Life:)

That's awesome.. with youtube and the holy spirit most things must be possible:):):)

awesome, will be coming up:)

You rock! Yeay comments work.. Uh I'm so relieved:)

Great idea!!

nah I think I'll just keep posting to one.. maintaining 2 is a lot of work:)

No, it's just all relative. Like a family is going to need more than 1-2 people would. They're still minimizing, but just to scale for their needs. There's just no one size fits all, it's not a competition where people have to outdo each other, but as long as everyone understands that and stops with the defeat nonsense, then there are always options to consider. Like there are budget Builders like Incredible Tiny Homes that can make a 16' THOW starting at $20,000... and they offer a kit version so people can opt to finish the interior themselves to get the price down to $15,000... While people who travel or will live in more ideal climate areas can opt to use a RV or convert one, which can be done for very little if they shop smart and understand the trade offs with going that route. But certain things, like high quality windows and having lots of them, equipment to live off-grid, land, being able to travel in the home, meeting special needs like wheelchair accessibility, energy efficiency and things to ensure the home is healthy to live in, etc. will jack up the costs involved. Building new will also generally cost more than buying old and used. But you have more control over what you get with something new and often have to adapt and consider secondary costs more with something old and used... So part of what has to be understood are the trade offs... Minimalizing only gets you so far if you're still including the most expensive features to have but nothing comes free of any trade offs and that means some people may need a reality check of what they'll end up with to reach the lowest costs versus what they need will cost...

thanks:)

Thanks:)
