Join me in a week in my life of running a small business! In this video we embark on Part 2 of my declutter journey. We start by packing shop orders together. Thanks so much to everyone who ordered from me! I have a lot of fluffy yarn that I'd like to use for products, but I've been a bit scared to try it out. So this week we tried crocheting with it! I made a cute axolotl plushie of my origina...

Do you use a sketchbook? My work is predominantly digital these days, but lately I've felt inspired to get back into sketching on paper. So in April, I set myself a challenge to use my sketchbook more. In this video we do lots of drawing and try out a whole bunch of new art supplies! Acrylic markers, felt tip pens (*cough* they're markers), highlighters, gel pens, fineliners... You name it! We ...

I bought from you this past con and loved the whole set up!!!!! ❤
He’s gorgeous!! I’ve seen so many of these around on insta but don’t have the time to make one yet during market prep 😆
This is amazing work ❤❤❤❤
first time watcher, great video. what an fantastic opportunity you had. Can I ask where you got your corner punch from?
Yeah ofc! It's the Vevor R6 R10 corner rounder with a 30mm radius <3
@@EvyBenita thank you! So glad I came across your channel! So so good
So cute beautiful❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
You are so kind, thank you!
@@EvyBenita your video I like
If I had a nickle for every time I did something like that I would have more than a few nickles
This is good. Save up nickels. Buy more highlighters. Draw more with highlighters. Repeat 💪
Sooo cute!!
Thank you so much, friend! 🥰💚
Klaus is so cute! this was so motivating to watch, makes me want to do a reset myself
Awe I’m so happy you found it motivating! I definitely recommend them, it’s nice to take a breather and just reset 💚 Thanks so much 🥹 And Klaus says thank you too 🐾
I LOVE your axolotl, and I'm happy you will enjoy the event. Good luck
Thank you so much, friend!! The axolotls definitely did the best hehe, especially the pink ones <3
Klaus sounds so much like a bear, it’s so adorable!! Also can’t wait for the art prints! 🥰
Awe haha thank you, he's my little sun bear! I always said I wanted a pet bear so it worked out in the end haha
so cute~ road to 1k <3
Thanks so much, friend! <3 And yes, so close!! Love your uploads btw <3
Just stumbled across you video now and I'm already in love with your content!
Awe yay! Thank you so much, that means a lot ^^ <3
So many adorable sketches!! 🥰
Thank you friend! 🤗
Love so many of these sketchbook pages! The beetle page would make an amazing repeat pattern and the little lemon-fish repeat with Hank is so adorable 🥰💖 Also seeing all the Kobii prints behind you reminded me that I’m missing 1 or 2 😆
Hehehe I planted them there just for you ;P Arh and honestly it made me SO HAPPY seeing you use Hank's name, I get so proud when the little dude gets recognized 😆
@@EvyBenita of course! Hank is so adorable and definitely needs his own mini-collection sometime 🥰 I may not be able to remember every human name but OCs and animals I can point out every time! 😆
Aaa it turned out so well! Can’t wait to see what you post next :)
Thank you so much, lovely! That's so motivating to hear hehe, thank you! <3 <3 <3
@@EvyBenita no problem! I love your vids make sure to take breaks though ! <3
I only discovered your chammel yesterday, but I have to say that I was surprised you don't have more subscribers. I absolutely love your artstyle and the peaceful vibe!
That honestly means so much to me, thank you 🥰❤️ And welcome to the channel 🥳
Love the yarn storage!! So much tidier then mine at the moment 😆 Your whole pin set up is always just the best inventory goals 🥰
Awe thank you so much, lovely! 🥰 The yarn wall only looks tidy because I haven't used any of it 😆😆😆😆
Aaa your shop has so many beautiful things ! and everything is just so organized aaa it’s amazing 🥲💗💗
That means the world to me, thank you friend! 🥰💗💗💗 (I'm glad it looks organized from a distance hehe 😆)
get a yarn winder though it will save you time on winding your yarn, it looks prettier and gives you more space. Trust me
Ooooh thank you for this tip!!! I'll order one straight away.
I could spend all day looking at that wall. The serotonin release with how organized it is, is enchanting.
Awe I'm so happy you like it, thank you!! I love those shelves. Definitely an investment but they're paying for themselves in serotonin xD
Your pin inventory always blows my mind, so many beautiful pins. Also, what breed of dog do you have. He’s gorgeous
Thank you so much, that means a lot to me (✿◠‿◠) Awe and thanks, he's a German Shepherd Chow Chow cross. We rehomed him in February this year and he's quite a character!
Megacon was definitely tough for most of the artists I talked to at the event and after, but since it was only the first year I definitely feel like it’s going to get better for future! It was amazing meeting you for the first time and seeing your work all together in-person! The whole setup was just so colourful and happy! Thank you so much again for my little dumbo octopus too, he is sitting on my peg board protecting my mini-pins at the moment 😆
It was oh so nice to finally meet you in person! I have your sweet crochet fish hanging over my art desk now, he always makes me smile. And low key makes me jealous of those even stitches, I don't know how you do it!😆 Really excited for next year, I think it's gonna grow quickly. But even if it doesn't, I don't think I could resist exhibiting again. The atmosphere was just so nice!
Somehow the algorithm brought me to your video. It's truely inspiring, I love it. I also want to have a table at a con in my country but it seems like I still have a longgggg way to go. Keep up with your amazing work!
Thank you so much! 💚💚💚 And thank you algorithm hehe ^^ Wow, that's really exciting, I hope you decide to do a convention one day. It's such a cool feeling seeing people make awe sounds over your art, definitely a motivator 💚 What sort of art do you make? I'm excited for you!
@@EvyBenita I am doing crocheting and drawing, still practicing a lot ^^ Thanks for cheering me :33
So cool! I love crochet <3
Your work is absolutely beautiful and so is your character! It takes a lot to be this transparent and so content at the same time. We all learn from our mistakes and I pray the next time is that much better! Maybe try an event that isn’t right after Christmas etc so there should be looser pockets, allowing people to actually appreciate and support your business as it should be supported. Keep up the amazing work❤
You are so kind, thank you!!! 💚 That honestly means a lot to me. And I think you're absolutely right about the time of year, January is pretty rough financially. I have two bigger ones coming up in July so fingers crossed they do better 🥳💚
You’re going to do great at the conventions. All the best to you
Thank you so much ^^ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡
Hi! Your art and products are so cute, and your house looks so beautiful. I’m glad I stumbled upon your channel. I look forward to more videos. Thank you for mentioning the shelves, I was immediately interested in them.
You’re so nice! Thank you, that means a lot 🥰 Ah the shelves are amazing, I cannot recommend them enough 😍
Still absolutely love the little foxes and seals from my last Patreon delivery! Glitter enamel still intimidates me to use in a design but it’s definitely on my list to try out in a kickstarter in 2024!
Thank you so much for making them happen! 🥹💖 I highly recommend trying glitter, it’s super eye-catching and can really elevate a design 🥰 Most of my best-sellers have used iridescent glitter. It’s common for a few glitter specs to burn during baking and leave a black dot on your pin, so I always recommend ordering in slightly more than what you normally would ☺️
Love the idea of a different theme for each convention. Will check out the art prints when you share them. Good Luck!
Thank you so much! 🥰💖💖💖
They are so cute!!
Thank you so much friend! 🥰💖💖💖
Always love watching the order packing! And if you have managed to work out how to do a crochet magic ring then you are doing so much better then me 😆 4 years and I still haven’t learned how to make them properly
Ahaha thank you! 😆 I can’t seem to do a magic ring without coning tho 🙈😆 Last week I tried starting with a chain instead and that’s definitely my go-to now. It’s way less effort and I feel like the result is much nicer and cleaner. At least in comparison to MY magic rings 🤪🤣💖
@@EvyBenita I use the chain method too so definitely a lot easier for working in the round 😆
Hi there! Really enjoying you videos! They've got such a cozy feel to them. :) A question for you, I've been wanting to design some pins but all of the settings on procreate really confuse me. Would you mind sharing what brush you use and what size the paper is? Also, I feel like I always draw the image too small....how do you know that it's big enough to work for a pin design. Thanks in advance for taking the time out to help a newbie! Hope you have a good day!
Awe thank you, it means a lot that you enjoy my videos! 🥰💚💚💚 Arh and I love your questions, thank you! I’ll do a video tutorial as well for this, but these are my personal favorite settings: I set my canvas paper size to 5000x5000 pixels and with 300dpi. This is plenty even if you do high-detail pins. And if you do more minimalist designs, you can probably get away with a 3000x3000 canvas. My favorite Procreate brush for pins is the Studio Pen (I thiiiink it’s under the Inking section). I hope this helps! 🥰❤️
@@EvyBenitathis was so helpful! Thank you for getting back to me! 😊
I haven't had to do it before myself, but I've read that others have submitted digital versions of their setup and it was okay for them. If you do that, you could just let them know that you're new to vending, but the mockup is your plan for the table. You have a lot of neat ideas! How many items you bring will depend on the amount of attendees there will be at the con. I'd say if it's 5k or less (super cozy con) you're fine with 10 of each item. If it's about 10k+ you could bring 15+ or more depending on the size (and how much you can carry). Most cons announce each year how many attendees they had in total. If not, you can check how many followers they have on their social media. Of course, however much you bring should make up for all your fees. Items that will be popular in person will most likely differ from items that are popular online. I have quite a few popular online items that I've sold maybe 1 or none of in person. Also, what will be popular at each event will usually change so it's hard to say what to bring. Bringing some big items is a great way to get people to come to your table. Put them somewhere higher on your display so that even if people are around your table, others will be able to see them. Other things: Make sure to bring water, your own food and snacks, and headache medicine, especially if you're doing the events solo. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out.
Thank you SO MUCH for all of these tips!!! You star 🥹💖💖💖 My first con is quite new, I think this is its third year running, and last year they had 22k visitors. So maybe bring 15-25-ish of each item? For the pins it’s easy to bring 25 of each, but for the bigger boiis maybe I’ll stick to 15 🤪 Arh this was so helpful, thank you again 🥰
I would pick the lemon shark it's so cute! (I ordered some axolotl pins they came a few days ago and I love them! :])
Whaaat thank you so much!! ♡ ♡
I love watching your vlogs and working alongside you :) question! how do you store your B grades, while keeping efficiency for packing? I've yet to find a solution that doesn't slow down packing days ;n;
That's such a good question! B-grades are always a bit of a hassle haha. Right now I gather them up in a box under my packing station, and I release them in stages throughout the year. But there must be a better way of doing it xD
AWWW THERE SO CUTEEE ! your so talented! :D
You're so nice!!! Thank you friend ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡
All your pins look so cuteee ! Your so underrated I love your vids ! 💗
It means so much to me that you like them, thank you! 💞
Love the background card for the foxes!! Can’t wait to see the pins in person 💖 Always love seeing the pin storage too, so much more organised then mine 🙈
I'm really happy you like it, thank you! 💖 I can't wait to send them out hehe 💖 💖 💖
Your underrated af
This was the best-ever motivational boost to wake up to! You're so nice, thank you 🥰
Your first little froggies turned out amazing! My first crochet plush was a disaster too so no shame in frogging back a first attempt if your not happy with them 😂
You are so sweet!!! Thank you for saying that haha, I loved making them. But I can feel a yarn addiction coming on 😂😂😂

I'd love to know where you got your boxes. I can never find them in that size. Thank you for the cozy packaging video as well ❤❤❤
Yeah they’re tricky ones to find! I got them from an eBay seller called Meg4Tech, they have a few different sizes. These are the C6 ones 🩵
