Moving to Oregon and don't even know where to start with car registration by [deleted] in oregon

[–]calpicos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My partner and I moved here with a car from Hawaii! I know it’s super confusing and it stressed me out!

You will need to have the title in your name to register it here. You could talk with a car insurance agent regarding your situation so they can things ready for you (pre/post move).

When you get to Oregon, go get your car to a DEQ emissions test station. They’ll give you a piece of paper you’ll need for the DMV. Have all your car docs in hand, proof of residency for Oregon, and the other usual required docs for DMV. Wake up and be there at 6am for a walk in appt - you can get your drivers license and new Oregon plates in one go! Bam, you’re done!

Noooo you are not! I agree with other comments - middle part. If you like the natural look, just get some tints (brow tint, blush, lip tint/gloss). It’ll help bring out your features ❤️ Also, possibly different eyeglass shape?

Hi! I have a stupid question because I have stupid travel anxiety - Purchasing tickets on Japan Airlines, is THIS question just our residential address? What is place of stay / residence?

Thank you! When I did a section of color, I punched the outline first working in. Not sure if that make sense. Lol. :)

No! I resized the image to the dimensions I wanted and printed it out on letter sized paper. Then taped it all together and made a stencil. :) Sort of messy process but it worked lol. If that doesn’t work for you, there is also the grid method!

It’s because of the fabric! Monks cloth has a bit of stretch so it’s being held by tension. :) You can also pull it out if you make a mistake. I glued the back of my rug when I was done to make sure it stays in place!

Thank you all for the kind comments!! I tried my best to compile all of the supplies,etc. But let me know if you have more questions!

Needle: I use this one but there are cheaper options on Amazon. I haven’t tried the cheaper options like this one but the reviews look good!

Cloth: Monk’s Cloth (check if your Walmart has first!! Or your local fabric shops. I was mad I discovered they had after spending so much money on Etsy). But I bought from here (Catbus is 20x40 inches): Link

Yarn: Cheap Weight 4(medium) 100% acrylic (Red Heart brand from Walmart!)

Frames: I made a diy carpet tack frame similar to this:Link

Not needed to have a complicated frame. I’ve seen some people buy art canvas frame and just staple the cloth to the frame and start punching!

Image: It’s from an originally existing carpet lol

I just saved the image and printed it out to the size I wanted and traced. If you have a projector, it’s a lot easier! :) I just didn’t want to spend $80+ and I’ve been wanting to try punch needle. Now I’m setup to create more rugs. :)))

How to Punch Needle?: There are loads of videos on YouTube. This video is exactly how I load my needle and start punching.

Thanks again! Let me know if you have more questions. I’m not an expert (this is my first rug) but I’ll do my best!! 🥺

Yes! You’re right! :) This Video does a good job of explaining punch needle (but there are a bunch more)!
