Sitting here in the quiet of the morning wondering how everyone is adjusting to social distancing. Luckily, our relationship doesn't change here in YouTube land! Our big move is next week and I'm prepared for the 13 hour drive with hand sanitizer, wipes and even some plastic gloves I found under my sink! I plan to shoot one more video in this house today. So what are YOU doing to keep a positive attitude while you're stuck at home with new challenges?

I am so busy. Barely have time to crochet. I am a 74 year old grandma of 3 who live with me so I have been making sure they do their schoolwork. I usually use my iPhone or iPad I found you from utube looking for a pattern. I pray a lot and watch new patterns. Today Sunday I am making some pot scrubbies for a few friends. Good luck on your move I will pray for you and your family. God bless and be safe!!!

I am fortunate to do most of my job from home since our office is closed. I have one child still at home and she is doing virtual homework daily then the two of us have crochet and old movie time together before my husband gets home. I enjoy you and your videos. Have a safe and worry free trip. 😊💙

My hubby and I are in mandatory self isolation for 14 days after returning to Australia from the US on Tuesday. I was also tested for COVID-19 when we arrived due to having some mild symptoms, this has returned Negative. I will continue to watch YouTube, Crochet lots and also do paper-crafting. I wish you a safe and enjoyable trip to your new State and your new home.

Hi Margaret, I'm spending my time knitting my first pair of socks. I started out using a baby sock knitting pattern in a book recommended by the author to get the basics down first. I'm enjoying it very much!

I am staying positive by calling my reps/Senators to demand more protective equipment for medical workers. We are a medical family and have to isolate from each other. It makes it that much harder. I have a sewing room full of glorious fabrics and projects. Just walking in makes me smile and reduces my BP in a flash. Best wishes for a smooth, uncomplicated move! My son and his wife are moving to Denver this Saturday😢. Looking forward to seeing your new home and crafty area

I’m crocheting plastic mats for the homeless. My daughter is sewing face masks to be donated to my friends in my retirement center just in case we may need them. Crafting can certainly be useful in a time of need AND it helps relieve stress at the same time. Winner.

My job at FedEx is busier than ever! Trying to keep the stress at bay and focusing on how blessed I am in this situation. My Son in law is home from a three month stay in Iraq. Thank God he protected them during the bombing. I'm so happy to have him home safe and sound!!

I’m starting a beanie for my daughter. Crocheting pot holders and doing some rock painting. Really should clean the house. But first things first.

I’ve been learning to play autoharp, and with it learning to read music. So I’ve been upping my practice time a lot. I also decided to finally learn two-color knitting, which had been on my to-do list for a long time. Wishing you as easeful a time moving as possible!

Not feeling a big change, as I'm a homebody when not working. I'm required to work from home now but still don't have cabin fever. Loving all the yarn around me and feeling the creative juices flowing... hope everyone stays safe and positive! Have a wonderful time on your trip to your new home!
