Oh geebs, that was awful. I already moved everything literally all over the house (<em>because my craft hoard is just too much</em>). Now waiting two weeks to put it back together sounds like a total pain! Luckily, a few days after it processed the shipping updated to the 20th! Of course, things didn't go as planned and for some reason it got delayed at Maryland for two more days.<br>&#8203;<br></div><div><!--BLOG_SUMMARY_END--></div><div class="paragraph" style="text-align:center;">On the bright, after much anxiety and much wait - it has arrived!<br><br>Yep, just like the movies I looked like I was dragging a dead body <em>into</em> the house. Now I'm able to put it all together and put the shelves and tables where I figured they below! I just needed the fresh view of my messy craft corner.<br>&#8203;<br></div><div><div class="wsite-image wsite-image-border-none" style="padding-top:10px;padding-bottom:10px;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;text-align:center"><a><img src="https://www.kimifrankphotography.com/uploads/1/7/0/3/1703941/20200422-211103_orig.jpg" alt="Picture" style="width:auto;max-width:100%"></a><div style="display:block;font-size:90%"></div></div></div><div class="paragraph" style="text-align:center;">It's still messy, still have a bunch more of things to put away but I am definitely liking this!<br>&#8203;<br></div><h2 class="wsite-content-title" style="text-align:center;"><font size="5">Some questions you may be thinking...</font></h2><div class="paragraph" style="text-align:center;"><strong>Where did I get the rug?<br></strong>Purchased this 8 x 11 feet rug on sale at Overstock.com<br><br><strong>How much was it?</strong><br>It's a whopping... $85! It was on sale, but it still wasn't really that expensive.<br><br><strong>Will you regret buying a cheapish rug?</strong><br>I don't know, maybe but also maybe not. I mean we'll find out I guess! I don't think we'll really be abusing the rug. Like, what are we gonna do to it? We pretty much take care of our stuff.<br><br><strong>Is this a sponsored ad?</strong><br>Hahaha no, lol. I was actually browsing around several sites including my beloved Amazon and Wayfair. I wasn't ready to splurge at anything and if you know me well, you can tell that I am cheap. Well, I don't like that term. I like... good deals. I found other nice rugs around the same price range in Wayfair but I really liked the theme of this one.<br><br><strong>Now what?</strong><br>Well I am looking to get another rug, a pink galaxy one. For future purposes!<br>&#8203;<br></div><div><div class="wsite-image wsite-image-border-none" style="padding-top:10px;padding-bottom:10px;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;text-align:center"><a><img src="https://www.kimifrankphotography.com/uploads/1/7/0/3/1703941/20200422-211052_orig.jpg" alt="Picture" style="width:auto;max-width:100%"></a><div style="display:block;font-size:90%"></div></div></div><div class="paragraph" style="text-align:center;">Alright, now back to business. Everything looks like it's ready to be placed back where they below - either my new setup or the trash bag. I discovered so much hoard that I literally just dumped in the bag without putting much thought because I know it will just mess with me and they'd end up in a special box in the basement.<br><br>Now... my goal is to get this all done tomorrow, Sunday, before afternoon ends! We shall find out!<br>&#8203;<br></div><div><div id="682548159168615946" align="left" style="width: 100%; overflow-y: hidden;" class="wcustomhtml"><center><img src="https://www.weebly.com/editorhttps://www.kimifrankphotography.com/uploads/1/7/0/3/1703941/custom_themes/227925103327449794/files/KimiSignature2020-04.png" width="350px"></center></div></div>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Tearing Down the Craft Room]]></title><link><![CDATA[https://www.kimifrankphotography.com/lifewithkimi/tearing-down-the-craft-room]]></link><comments><![CDATA[https://www.kimifrankphotography.com/lifewithkimi/tearing-down-the-craft-room#comments]]></comments><pubDate>Mon, 20 Apr 2020 07:00:00 GMT</pubDate><category><![CDATA[Crafting]]></category><category><![CDATA[Home Sweet Home]]></category><category><![CDATA[Life]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">https://www.kimifrankphotography.com/lifewithkimi/tearing-down-the-craft-room</guid><description><![CDATA[Rearrange the house, they said.There's nothing much to do during quarantine so let's have home projects, they said.Well, that's exactly what I am doing and it didn't go as planned as much as I hoped!​​The main goal was to get everything done this weekend.

Rearrange and make a nice, decent, organized room that's inspiring and calm. Well, right now the whole place is a mess! While organizing, I hit several roadblocks - including a rug that's had been eaten by the my beloved fuzzy guinea piigs. Yes, I call them&nbsp;<strong>piigs</strong>. LOL. Well, when I first started, the piigs came in a small cage. I was broke and I ended up buying a large play pen. I made a custom flooring and unfortunately, they were able to get to the rug... and welp, they ate it.<br><br></div><div><!--BLOG_SUMMARY_END--></div><div><div class="wsite-image wsite-image-border-none" style="padding-top:10px;padding-bottom:10px;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;text-align:center"><a><img src="https://www.kimifrankphotography.com/uploads/1/7/0/3/1703941/smartselect-20200416-075837-video-player_orig.gif" alt="Picture" style="width:auto;max-width:100%"></a><div style="display:block;font-size:90%"></div></div></div><div class="paragraph" style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:rgb(202, 90, 146)">I was able to cover the crime with their new midwest cage, but now that I moved them all around - the damages are visible and it's terrible. I hate to say it, but the rug is also old and not aesthetically pleasing. My goal is to make the craft room look refined and nice. So a new rug I ordered, and the new rug is not coming anytime soon! Thankfully it updated and shipping said it's supposed to arrive tomorrow - but now it's delayed... Oh what a whirlwind!<br></span><br></div><div><div class="wsite-image wsite-image-border-none" style="padding-top:10px;padding-bottom:10px;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;text-align:center"><a><img src="https://www.kimifrankphotography.com/uploads/1/7/0/3/1703941/published/20200414-200646.jpg?1587422717" alt="Picture" style="width:auto;max-width:100%"></a><div style="display:block;font-size:90%"></div></div></div><div class="paragraph" style="text-align:center;">Now Hans is also very confused and displeased, cue in the carpet needs vacuuming. So I guess this quarantine is making me do everything all at once. All I can say is that right now, do not come to our beloved home!&nbsp;<strong>Note to self:&nbsp;</strong>when I change the carpet after we buy the house, it's definitely not gonna be cream nor white. The paw stains and everything are so visible!&nbsp;<br><br>Moving forward - I managed to arrange some shelves that will not be affected by the rug installation. Aside from that I've been stressing so bad on how to actually arrange the whole room. Factors to consider: space, my hoard. The two aren't agreeing with each other, unfortunately.<br><br>Okay - so it's Monday! The rug hopefully is here tomorrow and I can install it and show you better photos of what my craft area is supposed to be. I'm crossing my fingers that this goes well!<br>&#8203;<br></div><div><div id="701226303261748772" align="left" style="width: 100%; overflow-y: hidden;" class="wcustomhtml"><center><img src="https://www.weebly.com/editorhttps://www.kimifrankphotography.com/uploads/1/7/0/3/1703941/custom_themes/227925103327449794/files/KimiSignature2020-04.png" width="350px"></center></div></div>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Struggle to Get Started]]></title><link><![CDATA[https://www.kimifrankphotography.com/lifewithkimi/the-struggle-to-get-started]]></link><comments><![CDATA[https://www.kimifrankphotography.com/lifewithkimi/the-struggle-to-get-started#comments]]></comments><pubDate>Mon, 13 Apr 2020 07:00:00 GMT</pubDate><category><![CDATA[Crafting]]></category><category><![CDATA[Home Sweet Home]]></category><category><![CDATA[Life]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">https://www.kimifrankphotography.com/lifewithkimi/the-struggle-to-get-started</guid><description><![CDATA[So it begins - set things in place and gets started!Step 1: Get things organized.

Well - the struggle is real. See, the Craft Corner aka Craft Dump is an utter mess right now. I was trying to figure out how to film craft videos. There are lots of ways to do it, for the most part I have the tools from tripods to cameras, lighting, and whatever else... except the tripod arm, but the problem is that the whole place is a mess.<br><br>This is a glimpse of that lovely mess. I don't have a very big area and the little spot that I have is just... full. So very, very full. It's a mess!!<br>&#8203;</div><div><div class="wsite-image wsite-image-border-none" style="padding-top:10px;padding-bottom:10px;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;text-align:right"><a><img src="https://www.kimifrankphotography.com/uploads/1/7/0/3/1703941/20200412-182811_orig.jpg" alt="Picture" style="width:auto;max-width:100%"></a><div style="display:block;font-size:90%"></div></div></div><div class="paragraph" style="text-align:center;">I'm happily doing what I do, but nope I am definitely not happy with how messy that is! &gt;.&lt;<br><br>Now, time to get the motivation to actually clean up and maybe get rid of some hoard that I no longer need. This is gonna be a tough process. I might need to consider the time I'm going to spend debating with myself. Okay, so I know it doesn't really look that bad but I don't have much space to store some items anymore, or to spread the crafts around. I really am hoping I could buy the house some day, but not really holding on to that thought for now.<br><br>Anyways, I started brainstorming figuring out what to do next. It's just a fancy way of saying that I started overthinking trying to figure out how get things to work out and not be lazy ending up binge watching Tiger King or Narcos. Planning helps a lot, so I have to jot that down my handy-dandy planner.<br>&#8203;<br></div><div><div class="wsite-image wsite-image-border-none" style="padding-top:10px;padding-bottom:10px;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;text-align:center"><a><img src="https://www.kimifrankphotography.com/uploads/1/7/0/3/1703941/20200413-152344_orig.jpg" alt="Picture" style="width:auto;max-width:100%"></a><div style="display:block;font-size:90%"></div></div></div><div class="paragraph" style="text-align:center;">Moral support helps too!
