I'm completely anti-social at the moment with anyone that I don't live with - so that means I only interact with my husband and our 3 cats. I miss being in lockdown sometimes, as at least then I had an excuse not to leave the house. I would happily watch a video of you packaging orders. Give big cuddles to Phoenix and Sally please :)
Me too! I only have energy for my husband, our two teens, and our dog. It's nice to live in our own little bubble. The kids do get to go to their friends on the weekends if that's what they're up for. They are more social than myself and their father, but aren't always feeling it though and would rather stay home and relax.
I've been feeling the same way, in terms of not feeling very social, with people other than my family, who I live with. I feel better knowing that it wasn't just me! You're such an inspiration to me. I'm so happy I'm subscribed to you!!
Instead of twisting the stamp on the pad, you should be able to just pounce it several times to get coverage. This is pretty typical especially with larger stamps. It might also be easier to pounce the stamp pad on to the stamp rather than the stamp on to the pad. Then you can focus your pressure/pouncing where you need more ink
I'm currently in the middle of my no-talking mood 😅 if I didn't have kids you wouldn't even hear a sound from me for days. I'm glad to hear that you took time and focusing on your health 🌺 I keep coming back to check your store every now and then and I'm determined to get some of your products when I have the budget for it 🥰
A 3D Printer Service should be able to make any shape cutter for little money. I have one in my neighborhood, or I can go to a open/public tool "shed" who have 3D-printer and laser cutter people can use and they show you how to work a 3D printer and software as well as the laser cutter. I also had an idea to make cutters out of a beer can and a metal scissor or metal cutter. You cut a stripe, bring it into shape and then you make a fimo clay sausage and stick it to one edge if the metal stripe in shape of the future cutter. Bake it and strengthen the bond if necessary with an all purpose strong glue. and voila a DIY cookie cutter.
Super cute, all of them. I miss having a cat in the house, so I have to get my cat fix from people like you. 🐈 Oh, dear, find a tool to hold your phone. One of those little bendy tripods? DO NOT RISK A CHRONIC PAIN that will bother you till death. Use topical analgesics, heat, cold, rest. I’m 71 with recurrent debilitating pain. Don’t be like me. I sometimes think I want my entire leg amputated. Ouch! And . . . I used to like to go out. Now my home calls to me. I just want to be home. I’m happy here. 🏡
Rosie here (repeat customer, not sure if I've commented before), just placed my order. That kitty on a pot print is so cuuute, I had to get it haha, along with one of the mush pins and the kitty notepad. I feel ya on the anti-social energy of early spring, the earth's slowly warming back up and so are our brains. Speaking to your concerns about not getting videos out, I hope I can speak for others when I say vid updates should come when they feel right for you, you're your own boss in this biz and we'll patiently wait for vids (tho those kitties of yours are awfully tempting to see more frequently, I'd just wanna pet through that lovely floof irl lol), happy that you're feeling the right energy for content again rn tho. Embrace those ebbs and flows!
It makes me feel better to know that there are a lot of people having this issues. Being at home, with your cats and bf is so comfortable and safe. Why would I want to go into the wild and meet new people? No sense at all haha I guess it's a process.
This was so fun to watch, I love a more casual video and getting to see more of your space and day to day! I use to make clay pins, hand paint them and resin them and quit because of the reason you mentioned- my back and shoulders lol. Kudos to you for doing so many though, they are really such a beautiful end product. 💗
I understand perfectly the feeling of not being very social and spending more time with family boyfriend and friends.... With or without more energy you are very talented, I love Ur drawing style, the conturing, the little dots and dashes, the very vivid colours and also pretty much everything cats ❤️❤️❤️ you are crazy talented and some day I hope to place an order, hugs 🤗🤗🤗❤️❤️❤️😽😽😽
So glad to see you back! I love your videos and your shop is so hard to resist (I've failed a few times!). I ADORE your new larger pins/magnets and those watercolor kitty bookmarks with gold scenes are so so cute. And the notepads and to-do lists are delightful, too! I have been hesitating to place an order because it's so hard to decide what I like best (especially with the handmade stuff), but I really gotta just do it so you don't run out, lol. Love how Phoenix is helping you work, lol. These blogs are just so peaceful and insightful, it's nice seeing your process and getting a sneak peek of your shop. 😊
I adore your notepads, calendars, pins, and Keychain! They are so amazing! I have almost used up both notepads so I'll be making another order soon. I try to get at least one pin everytime you open shop. Your art makes me so so happy! ❤ And, thank you for these vlogs! I love watching your store prep and bits of your life. It makes me feel like you're talking to us like a close friend. Thank you so much for everything!!
I really like how the stamp looks on the bags. I think you should post as often as you are comfortable with and we will be here to watch them as they come out!
It was nice to hear that people can share you mental health I am right there with you I got a divorce this is my 4yr It’s hard art helps a lot I try to do art some thing that gets me out of my head
Just got an order from the store. Beyond thrilled with the sleepy kitty and cat paw magnets. Also, the handmade cat paw stamp on the box is delightful. It made me happy as soon as I saw it. Well done!
Katt, I've been following you for a long time- I am a musician who also dabbles in art. As I have started looking how to add art sales to my website, I have been noticing you mention more about your mental health and motivation for making videos... I have been dealing with mental health recovery for about 10 years now. So, there are a couple of ways I'd like to connect with you. In particular, as I have been researching which internet options to use in order to sell my art- I notice you rely so much upon Etsy and Red Bubble (who I believe take much larger percentages from you profits than you would pay if you added direct e-commerce to your website?) I understand for artists who have less online following (like me) using Etsy and Red Bubble to find an audience. But YOU have a great audience on social media? Anyway... one other suggestion- The first thing I notice on your website is the little icon on the menu tabs is the default Wordpress symbol. You can personalize it to one of your signature cats! I realize this may already be on your forever to-do list... I just find it really makes forgotten tabs on people's internet browser menus pop! So, anyway, I am not a marketer or anything (like those annoying emails we all get as creators), but I would LOVE to connect if you have time to chat sometime! Hugs! Keep it up :D

I'm exactly the same, 3 cats and my bf lol.

wanted to say the same :3 from above is better :)
I’m glad you’re feeling better.

Your pins are adorable! I was thinking they'd be great magnets! So glad you are making some magnets. :)
You packaged my order in this video! I'm enjoying the notepads and washi tape. Love your videos and artwork!
Just placed my order and super excited for the new kitty and mushroom pins!! Artwork is adorable as usual! ❤

Always interesting to see the process of having an online shop.
Oh my god, the paw stamp! 😍 it’s the cutest thing ever
I think the magnet/pin choice is a great idea. I hope it boosts sales even more.

I mean this in the best way, the aesthetic and vibe of your art reminds me of the video game little misfortune 💕
It's lovely to see you again! :) I'm glad you took the time to be your own company, it's so therapeutic and we should all do it more often.

Your planner papers are fantastic. I immediately ordered the whole bundle bc the boarders are so pretty.
I really like how the stamp looks on the bags. I think you should post as often as you are comfortable with and we will be here to watch them as they come out!
I wonder if you could have “cookie cutters” 3D printed of your templates… 🤔
It was nice to hear that people can share you mental health
I am right there with you I got a divorce this is my 4yr
It’s hard art helps a lot I try to do art some thing that gets me out of my head
666 likes, not sure if I want to be the one who takes it over that number! or should I...
I would buy the heck out of a sketchbook with your art on the front by the way! 👀
That was very vampire like😂. 😫ah the sun. 😂
The clay pins look so cute!!! What type of clay do you use for them?
Jesus is coming back. Have faith in Him alone to be saved.
forbidden cookies... I love these!

Just got an order from the store. Beyond thrilled with the sleepy kitty and cat paw magnets. Also, the handmade cat paw stamp on the box is delightful. It made me happy as soon as I saw it. Well done!
