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!
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
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
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.
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.
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" ❤❤
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! 💕
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 😊
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
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
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!
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.
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😊
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
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
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.
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 🤔☺️
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.
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! 😅
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😁
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
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
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.
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
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.
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
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?!
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
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 😊
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
