*Letting go it good huh? Have you let go of something recently? Or, is there something that you are struggling to let go of...? It's not always easy is it... x*
Yes! Your video really resonated with me - I’ve just given up my teaching career... so hard but also wonderful and I now have the time and energy to be creative, ❤️❤️❤️
Phew, I am so relieved (I see the picture of you on the floor of your empty studio) - and then panicked because I thought you were leaving us.. (which I hope never happens, im sure its not just me who thinks that too☺️).. Happy New start. 💐💚. I work from home, it's so much easier and less overheads are always good xx
It's really interesting how, since you've shared your studio so much with us & how familiar it's become that I definitely feel some kind of loss and gain with this move even though it's all shared in videos. So many experiences and lessons have been in that studio in which you have shared in detail, I definitely feel the move, this is all fascinating to me! What a trip! Also: relating to you in my thoughts, how you seem to be a very kindred type person is very encouraging to me to face my own challenges, whether it's facing the blank page to make new art or making scary decisions about my own physical shop/studio space etc... This is all Very interesting! Thanks once again for sharing what works for you, which is helping guide my way a lot! Wishing you well from California!
Another thought: Of course you being present somewhere is more important than the place. Thanks for the gifts of your presence here on RUclips, it's making a difference in the world!
10 years ago, I had to leave my art teaching career, due to ill health. I found it very difficult , as I didnt want to leave. Sadly I am now far too sick to continue art . So frustrating . I feel lost without art. I've lost all my hearing too, but I count my blessing I still have my eyes , and am living with my most amazing loving funny caring soul mate. My message is that sometimes you move on to better things, sometimes theres a compromise and sometimes it's all taken away from you. Best to make the most of what you have or want , before it's too late. Changes are really good for the soul. It's all part of a beautiful journey . The more twist and turns you make in life , the more interesting and fulfilling your life will be. Whether it is sad, glorious, stressful, refreshing or nerve wrecking... Be brave and give yourself the chance to explore, grow and enrichen your soul. Your life is full of chapters , never be afraid to turn the pages. Bless you , what a wonderful video. Full of so much love and joy. Thank you for sharing your experience with us. Good luck with your next chapter 😁💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚
Love this comment. You don't sugar coat things. You're so right. Sometimes it works out well and sometimes it doesn't. But we'd do well to make the best out of every situation. I wish you well.
I stopped creating Art some years ago myself. My eyesight has always been bad, I was born with a severe case of amblyopia (lazy eye) that now, in my 40's is aggravated by astigmatism, and apparently I'm one of the few that can adjust my own lens in my eyes, which can be more difficult to do as your eyes get older and causes blurriness. I originally stopped creating because I had my work stolen by a former Art professor. Not only stolen, but he then put it in a gallery for monetary gain while the actual original, my creation, never saw the light of day. It was an exact copy of my work, only on a much larger scale installation. It really destroyed my confidence and trust in an Art professional. Now, I am looking at my health also being a factor. You have inspired me to pick up my materials and create again and I hope that you find a way to give outlet to your creativity as well.
WOW! I am so very happy for you in your new space and the support you have in James. What a blessing. I remember mentioning that rearranging your old space might change the flow if your energy and little did I imagine that you would just totally change your space and move out of the old place and into your new space so I’m very excited for you and wish you all the best in your creative process. Sending you love and light and energy and best wishes from Northern California, USA.💋😘🙏❤️🌹🌹💐
I absolutely love your new studio space Wendy! It's really beautiful, airy and has such great light indeed. We also moved recently and my studio was packed up into boxes and in storage for about 7 months. We moved in the beginning of March into our new apartment and the light is absolutely wonderful in the new studio space and so good for the soul. I am wishing you many blessed and creative years in your new studio space. Sending you love and light from Cape Town, South Africa xxx
Wendy, I needed to hear what you had to say this morning...about letting go of what no longer serves us...the things that don't belong to us, in our lives, any longer. I have never been "good" at letting go...but I am working on it...very hard, these days! It cheers me to know that other people battle this...and that they have success---it gives me hope! Keep up the "weekly conversations", Wendy...your words impact us...they have a ripple effect that bring us insight into ourselves!
Wendy; Congratulations on your new space. You do look as happy as a clam and my wish for you is for this new place and space bring you all sorts of positive energy to continue being your creative self. Your underlying theme of letting go and moving forward hits home for me in my personal life . So, thank you for your words about things not serving you. It's like turning to a fresh new page in one's journal where there are so many possibilities that we get to hold space for. Wishing you all good things.
Hello 👋. Wendy. I actually had tears of happiness for you. Wishing you lots of happiness and creative vibes in your new studio. I'm so happy for you. Your light has re ignited and shining bright 🌞. Looking forward to the tour. Sending loads of love and happy vibes to you, and all💗💫🧚♀️
As I watch you packing up I see you and your energy vacating. The positive energy you and James generate will fill the new space. All the best for the new journey. Cannot wait to see your next videos
Cheers to new beginnings Wendy and James, also on going forward with confidence and blessing the next person as you also have been blessed in your own slice of heaven. Facing change and letting go for me has it's challenges but if I didn't give myself a chance to spread my wings I would have never experienced what it's like to fly. Thank you for sharing your experiences with me, you inspire my soul to stay encouraged on moving forward. PS- How beautiful it is to see people HUG with all their heart and soul, Auuuw so cute. BLESSINGS FROM AUSTRALIA. X
So happy for you Wendy , your new space is very cozy ...new space, new ideas, new experiences, new thoughts , new journey ..can't wait for you to share them with us ..many Blessings to you and James .
Here's to new beginnings! We moved out of our house 3 months ago expecting to be in our new house (and my new home studio) a few weeks after. But we're still not there and keeping fingers crossed that we'll hear about a moving date this week. Hoping that your excitement and good wishes will bring something positive! Can't wait to see your lovely new studio set up.
Last year, hubby retired and we sold where we'd lived for nearly 30 years to move an hour away, to be nearer to my in-laws (getting a place big enough for them too should it be necessary in the future). So, major changes and I felt a lot of resistance and, if I'm honest, some resentment. However, a year on, it's turned out to be a positive decision. We now have a garden, I can actually see the sky (whereas before in a dark town centre couldn't see much other than roofs and walls). And I've started painting, yay! I'm sure that everything will work out for you, Wendy and although you'll look back at the old studio with affection and maybe some sorrow, you will not regret the decision. Big hugs from Italy and best wishes for your new chapter.xx
Oh Wendy, you truly are beautiful 🌸🌸🌸 Letting go, creates a space that the universe always fills that guides you on the next step of your journey. 2020 was it seems, a year that we had to let go. Virtual hugs and lots of love to you and everyone on here and Instagram ❄️🦋❄️🦋❄️ xxxx
You are so sweet! Thank you for your candid sharing. Change is really hard at times. Knowing when to shift our focus takes patience and reflection. I have a wonderful studio space that is in an art center. There are 15 artists in the space with different types of open, semi-private, and private spaces. I am in a semi-private space. My challenge is that I can't get there as often as I would like due to lock-down and living with and caring for my 90+ Mum. I've moved all the media that won't damage rugs and furnishings home and have left all paint and staining mediums at the studio. My number one priority is my Mum. Fortunately, I've been getting portrait commissions lately and I can work on those at home so there is still a little revenue coming in. Teaching in person is supposed to begin again in March. We'll see what lockdown and immunizations have in store. Hugs to you from across the "Pond".
OMG, you are the cutest couple. My husband hugs and picks me up, just like James did, to you. Felt your happiness and love for each other. Makes hard days easier, when you have a helping hand.
My mate passed away seven months ago...it’s not “letting go” in the traditional way but I really struggled at first until I got this piece of advice: “If you hold too tightly to what is gone, you will not be able to embrace what is coming” and now, honoring the gifts of the past, I am able to welcome the blessings that are coming. You are among my blessings!
Dear Kaitlin, I am so very sorry for your loss and hope you can keep moving on. I do like your quote “if you hold too tightly..... “. Is this your own quote or thought? If so, I would like your permission to use it in some art. It’s beautiful, God bless you.
Oh l just need to hear this it's time l moved out of this city all my pals left! And time for pastures new! RIP your friend we all meet again in Spirit!🌈💖
I watched this video when it was well over a year old so don’t know if you are able to see comments after a certain time frame, or if you’d have time…….you are quite popular, you must be aware. I am not making my living from Art, having had 2 careers, the 2nd ended before I was ready due to poor health, but I have many artistic pursuits, more along the lines of fiber, fabric, the needle arts, especially silk ribbon embroidery, beading and bead embroidery, quilting, and Art quilts, where my different pursuits can really come together in one piece. Your thoughts and comments about letting go and allowing some things to be done or gone so other things can come in really resonated with me. Having to give up the literally hundreds of people I interacted with in my business was very tough. Your comments were relevant to a creative group I participated in for a long time, and had to let go of. Even if there is a good reason for letting something go, I think you may grieve the loss of the good aspects, even though you are glad to bid some things farewell. I think that is what you were articulating about the studio you left. I enjoy watching a video of yours here and there, and love your soothing voice. Be well!
Just so you are aware... (I'm only a user not creator of RUclips) but stories & even sometimes the community tab don't get much exposure. That may change in the future, but I don't see either of them often but community posts pop up more often than stories.... Loved the swinging giggle at the end! So much spontaneity & unbridled joy! 👏💗💕
I love letting go, it always means a new chapter which fits you more. We grow as humans and after a while we just need renewal. Renewal from the inside translates into renewal on the outside. I always imagine those times. when you have a plant in your care. How gooooood it feels when you see your baby (plant) has grown. And me (mommy) have to step it up and feel/get new knowledge about how his or her new environment has to be in order for him or her to continue to grow and live comfortably. Those are the golden moment in life when you know you have done so well that you can go on to the next experience. I love it. Love you peepz 💕🌄🏖 We do not like to let our baby, sit in a diaper full of pooh either. 💛
You and James make such a great team. It really is beautiful to watch. All the best with your new studio and thank you for another inspiring video. 🙌🙌 PS: I was the 1,700th person to like this video. Yay!!😁😁
Wendy you are lovely,you are magical! How wonderful to see you dancing in that beautiful fairy,enchanted forest. How freeing that would be, I think of the hippies back in the 60's, how they loved to dance at festivals by themselves and with others. Your art work is wonderful and of course magical. I like to draw hippie girls. My sister showed me your video! Thank- you for your videos, you are quite special! Guess what? My name is Wendy too. I have always loved my name, why? Because it's from a fairy tale, its a little magical name. Love to you, Wendy from new jersey
Love the sound of your laughter in his embrace...made me think of a birth I attended where as soon as I laid the baby girl into her mommas arms the mother began laughing in a joyful laughter that continued for hours. As my assistants and I cleaned up and let the family alone for bonding we could still hear her laughter....since then my ears perk up when I hear joy in laughter. Thank you for sharing Wendy.
In America you can't say ANYTHING ....we are being severely censored in every aspect.....EVERYTHING is strange here . Best wishes in your new endevors. Change and new things can be exciting. I find all the emotions connected to change creatively enspiring. God Bless.
I had this happen with a boarding barn I had my horse at. The lady that ran the place was also my riding instructor and I had known her for a few years and got attached to her guiding me, as well as her friendship. Over time things change and we change. It happens so slowly and we keep adjusting and adjusting. I was eventually pushed out of that place. I think the universe helped me :-) for the first few days I was in stock, but when my horse happily got on the trailer I saw that as a sign and haven't looked back. I am at a wonderful place now and finally have an indoor arena! so now the freezing cold snowy winters have not stopped me riding.
I love your positive energy during the move from the studio you’ve enjoyed for three years. The positive energy helped you quickly,find a new studio place for you to create. I’ve been in a creative funk since the beginning of December of 2020, I’ve had to move across the state to care for my ailing mother and the space I now have is in my tiny bedroom in my mother’s house. I have nothing but,positive vibes now that you shared yours,thank you.
Well I can relate to you as I had no space when we lived in the van... a tray can be a best friend with all your art supplies and then just slide under the bed... xx loads of love and hope you get out of your funk soon... xx
I’m so excited for you, Wendy! Your mood is light, happy, and full of promise! Congratulations on the studio move and for all the positive changes you’re making!
This video made me very sad at the beginning - goodbyes are hard! But I love your new space!! So glad you are happy with it. Btw, I am painting again and working on two art journals all because of you! ❤
Oh, I so needed this video of sheer happiness right now. I will be moving in about 4 months to another state far away from what I am used to, so I can be with my daughter and her family. I have a prefect set up here and will truly miss it. I am hoping I will find another special place in my new home. You have given me inspiration for that.
Watching you two in the time lapse made me so happy, you could feel your connection even with it speeded up. Good luck in your new studio, very happy for you. 💚💚💚
Congrats on your new studio, you certainly can see your transformation and you come across happier and lighter. Looking forward to your studio tour and when your shop is open. Thanks for sharing
Love love love joining you for coffee chats ... so very happy for you and James -- new studio space, new beginnings -- big hugs and pats on the backs!! love from here from us!!
I'm surprised you kept going with the vlogs at all: well, done! ....bet you didn't get much painting done.... Hope the new studio will continue your "Up-story" and feed your creativity! Always look forward to seeing more of you and your work: so inspiring! Thank you and have a fab time settling in!🌷🌷🌷
Your’s is the only vlog I follow. It has been so helpful for me this past January when I was just not feeling it. You chatting through your emotions really helped me and this just got me moving forward again because I knew it was a shared struggle. Thank you for your transparency.
I am so happy for you Wendy ! So many things resonated with me from your video. From ready to give up. To a big blessing in your new space and especially to joy and love you can see between you and James. Wish I could like / love this more than once ! Excited to see your new space with your things in it. It looks amazing in the empty space shot !! Big virtual hugs from across the pond!!
I am so happy for you! Thanks for sharing your process of letting go. I had a good cup of tea with you while watching! It is such an uplifting and motivating video. And it is so beautiful to see your love with James. This is priceless!
Congratulations on your new space! And having the guts to change when you knew you needed to. Thank you for illustrating so well the way that when one door closes another opens.
🤗🤗🤗Letting go...physically, mentally, emotionally...such an internal tug-of-war...exhausting & painful... Of course, I know that you are aware that you not alone in dealing with this process... Especially during this past year, so many of us have faced this in one or more areas of our lives...so sorry for your loss of the old yet so happy for your gain of a lovely new space to continue your artistic pursuits! Enjoy & please continue to share your journey with us! 🤗🤗🤗
I can't believe RUclips removed your story with you lying on the floor, relaxed and smiling. Congrats on your new studio and the next chapter of your personal journey! Moving ahead is always a positive thing! Enjoy your new space!!!
I do believe they use mathematial algorithms to drop videos. It’s wasn’t a person who did this is was AI or artificial intelligence. The shocking thing is the level of sensorship we all are subjected to and don’t even realize it.
As odd as this sounds, it might have been the pose. I seem to remember Wendy on the floor, lying spread-eagled. The photos are scanned by computer and the algorithm might have seen it as being sexual in nature. I could be wrong, but that's my hunch.
@@DanceswithDustBunnies I think you are to something there but what was so disconcerting was the fact Wendy could not appeal their action and give them feed on the mistake.
@@bonniejonas5150 I had posted a private video of a clip from 'Desperate Romantics', of Rossetti (played by Aidan Turner) in a, erm...sex scene. If you've seen the show, you know the scene I'm talking about. It was private; I'd sent the unlisted link to someone to illustrate something we'd been talking about regarding sex vs violence on TV. YT not only took the video down, but gave me a ding. Which went away after 3 months I think. I tired to appeal it--there was a process at that time--but to no avail. I felt because it was private, they really had no right to censor it.
What a lovely video! Thanks for sharing your progress. Such a bitter-sweet time for you. And alot if work tearing down and setting up again. But indeed it is a good thing to let go. But not easy. I pray your new studio will be filled with blessings and good energy for creating! ❤❤❤🤗❤❤❤
WOW!! What a surprise and great news that you are in your own space now! CONGRATULATIONS!! Your previous space was a joy to view, but I completely understand and agree on needing some alone time to create. Will look forward to watching your future videos in your new lovely space. Cheers and sending many happy warm squishy vibes to your new space. xoxoxox
Hookey!! Hey!! xxx Thank you dearest one, it will be so much easier to be creative and get more painting done!! Big soft hugs to you and have a great weekend too xxxx
So pleased to see you excited and with a spark again. I know you’ve struggled over the last few weeks. Excited to see your studio and following your journey. Bring on spring! I’m ready! Thank you for sharing x
So very happy for you. What a great start to the year. Look forward to watching your adventures and creations this year. Thankyou for letting me see into your world. Xxx
I'm so happy RUclips directed me to your post. You are lovely! Excited to follow you here and wishing you many blessings in your new space and with new doors continuing to open for all! ;)
Hello Unexpected Gypsy ! just discovered your lovely channel,well as a fellow artist I am so envious of your new bright studio it looks so cheery and full of energy,and you too are full of vibrant energy which is the way that I like people to be instead of drab and dreary.I love the colours in your aura which are also reflected in your work and those journals are inspiration to get going back on mine again,I wish you well in your new space and know that soon you will be hard at work creating new things for us all to enjoy.I know what you mean by letting go sometimes its not easy but when you look at the future and what it holds for you then the hard work and effort is well worth it,so go forth and paint in this new era !
Congrats on your new creative space. I admire that you take your decisions with much thought and concern to do what is best for you. Love watching the process and learning through you. Much love to what the future holds for you.❤️
What a sweet couple you are! And such a wonderfully bittersweet and hopeful video..blessings to you and your new space and thank you for bringing light to my day...
How wonderful❣ Kismet! Couldn't be happier for you!! We were a bit worried so very relieved to know all is well! And God bless James and may the Goddess bless you❣❣ I've been doing some letting go myself and tickled to say, creating something everyday❣🧜♀️
Thank you for the comment about letting go and new beginnings. I'm being made redundant from a company I've been at for 6 years. I know I need to let go as it wasn't great for me, but is hard. Hearing your comment is important for me, thanks again ❤️
I'm so happy for you and I send you loads of love and best wishes in your new studio. Can't wait to see what you're doing! Many, many blessings to you and James!
I found you about 3 weeks ago and now I pretty much watched most of your videos.....I absolutely adore you. You are such a lovely and beautiful and talented soul xxx
Letting go of something we love is always hard, but something greater is coming so I know you'll be just as happy in your new studio. :) All the love to you, Wendy! ❤️️
Good morning wendy. It is so good yo see you back to you. I am very happy you have made this change. Moving is always hard work and emotional but well worth it. Take care dear heart and stay safe. 💓🤗🧚♀️
Letting go of something you love because you know it's time to move on really spoke to me. I plan on resigning from my job of nearly 3 years that I love because I know it's not what's best for me anymore. So hard to say goodbye but I hope it will open new doors
Yep, having to let go of things is hard. I'm still trying to adapt to new lifestyle following health issues, having to let go of any idea of being who I used to be. But i've realised that unless I embrace change and new routines to stay well then I won't be living, I'll just be existing. On the plus side I have decided to do art daily, start an art journal and be kinder to myself - so not all bad. Thank you for sharing life with us Wendy!
Thank you for not only sharing your art with us but your heart and life. May God bless this new chapter and adventure. Hugs from Costa Rica. It was beautiful to hear and watch you laughing!!! 🌸😊
The new space looks amazing, and I know you will have many happy, creative hours there. I cannot wait to see next weeks tour. Good fortune and many well wishes.
This is beautiful. So wonderful to be part of this journey with you. So very happy you have found a lovely space just for yourself. Loved watching the speedy version on the video of you moving things out of the studio. Looking forward to the next one 💖
Congratulations Wendy on your move! Although change is hard, you seem very happy with your new space. Thank you again for continuing to share your journey with us all!💙
This is so timely for me, I had to leave my 'happy place' studio just before Christmas and I was sad. I couldn't find another place so my art things are in storage. Your comments really helped me find peace about letting go....thank you 😊 💓
Your "Letting go" has so much power in itself. You are an inspiration for facing fear and understanding that letting go is the action that must happen in order to move forward. Thank you! Love your channel!
Hi Wendy. I felt for you going through the moving process, but congrats on the new studio popping up just at the right time. I look forward to seeing it. Love Trills xxx
I am not even sure how I stumbled on to your videos but so glad I did. I have watched several in the last week and feel like you are on old friend. I am also going through lock down and all the feelings that come with that. You inspired me to do some art tonight and I am going to recommend you to my friends. Enjoy your new studio. Greetings and hugs from Burlington, Ontario.
Uplifting! It's human nature to find "letting go" become a real positive but as you said, more often than not it opens the way for something else which is new and exciting and becomes special. I moved house last October. I am about to have my very first art room in the smallest bedroom. Day before yesterday shelves finally went up and I can hardly wait to start filling them and organising where all my crap will go. LOL Thank goodness the room has a small fitted wardrobe! Discovered you today via an American FB friend. I live in Cyprus. So lovely to hear a British accent plus your being BoHo! :) Onto your next video!
Congratulations on your new space! I hope you find much happiness and inspiration there. All my card readings this week have been telling me to let go and make room for the new. I think I will follow your example!
I am so surprised that I missed this little video about the move, way behind but “happy sad” now too. I’ll watch the video move into the new space. All the very best, thank you so much for sharing.
So glad to see you happy with the change. I was so concerned that you had decided to shut down and I was facing a great sense of loss. Happy now that you have posted this video! Congratulations.
How wonderful! A new space with unlimited possibilities for the new year. I absolutely LOVE ❤️ everything about your channel, the content, and you. I found you by chance and am so inspired by your spirit and you are so down to earth. May your days be bright and creative! Thank you for sharing your stories
so excited for you Wendy... and James too. Cant wait for the store to reopen, saving all my pennies to treat myself to the beauty you make put some Joy in my world too.
Clicked LIKE as soon as I saw you both at the window kissing and walking away holding hands. Everything before and after that is DOABLE...now to the video! OH WOW>>>you guys really MADE your whole studio! I had no idea. Brilliant. (third comment edit) The hug mid-move was delightful!
*Letting go it good huh? Have you let go of something recently? Or, is there something that you are struggling to let go of...? It's not always easy is it... x*
Yes! Your video really resonated with me - I’ve just given up my teaching career... so hard but also wonderful and I now have the time and energy to be creative, ❤️❤️❤️
@@handmadebookmakerybysam9665 best thing I did giving up teaching career.... so best of the best to you xxxx happy creating xx
Phew, I am so relieved (I see the picture of you on the floor of your empty studio) - and then panicked because I thought you were leaving us.. (which I hope never happens, im sure its not just me who thinks that too☺️)..

I'm so sorry you are going through loosing art. you seem like an articulate writer, maybe poetry or writing could be your next art-venture ? Good luck

Hello 👋. Wendy. I actually had tears of happiness for you. Wishing you lots of happiness and creative vibes in your new studio. I'm so happy for you. Your light has re ignited and shining bright 🌞. Looking forward to the tour. Sending loads of love and happy vibes to you, and all💗💫🧚♀️
As I watch you packing up I see you and your energy vacating. The positive energy you and James generate will fill the new space. All the best for the new journey. Cannot wait to see your next videos
Cheers to new beginnings Wendy and James, also on going forward with confidence and blessing the next person as you also have been blessed in your own slice of heaven. Facing change and letting go for me has it's challenges but if I didn't give myself a chance to spread my wings I would have never experienced what it's like to fly. Thank you for sharing your experiences with me, you inspire my soul to stay encouraged on moving forward. PS- How beautiful it is to see people HUG with all their heart and soul, Auuuw so cute. BLESSINGS FROM AUSTRALIA. X
So happy for you Wendy , your new space is very cozy ...new space, new ideas, new experiences, new thoughts , new journey ..can't wait for you to share them with us ..many Blessings to you and James .
Here's to new beginnings! We moved out of our house 3 months ago expecting to be in our new house (and my new home studio) a few weeks after. But we're still not there and keeping fingers crossed that we'll hear about a moving date this week. Hoping that your excitement and good wishes will bring something positive!
Can't wait to see your lovely new studio set up.
Congratulations! Wendy . May your new space give you peace . and creativity. Many blessings , sweet soul. 😘💕🎊🎉
Last year, hubby retired and we sold where we'd lived for nearly 30 years to move an hour away, to be nearer to my in-laws (getting a place big enough for them too should it be necessary in the future). So, major changes and I felt a lot of resistance and, if I'm honest, some resentment. However, a year on, it's turned out to be a positive decision. We now have a garden, I can actually see the sky (whereas before in a dark town centre couldn't see much other than roofs and walls). And I've started painting, yay!
I'm sure that everything will work out for you, Wendy and although you'll look back at the old studio with affection and maybe some sorrow, you will not regret the decision. Big hugs from Italy and best wishes for your new chapter.xx
All the best to you Wendy and James. Good luck. I am looking forward to seeing your journey in the new art studio. Take care.
Best wishes in your new studio. Thank you for sharing your journey, Have a fantastical week and happy Valentine’s day
Oh Wendy, you truly are beautiful 🌸🌸🌸
Letting go, creates a space that the universe always fills that guides you on the next step of your journey.
2020 was it seems, a year that we had to let go.
Virtual hugs and lots of love to you and everyone on here and Instagram ❄️🦋❄️🦋❄️ xxxx
You are so sweet! Thank you for your candid sharing. Change is really hard at times. Knowing when to shift our focus takes patience and reflection. I have a wonderful studio space that is in an art center. There are 15 artists in the space with different types of open, semi-private, and private spaces. I am in a semi-private space. My challenge is that I can't get there as often as I would like due to lock-down and living with and caring for my 90+ Mum. I've moved all the media that won't damage rugs and furnishings home and have left all paint and staining mediums at the studio. My number one priority is my Mum. Fortunately, I've been getting portrait commissions lately and I can work on those at home so there is still a little revenue coming in. Teaching in person is supposed to begin again in March. We'll see what lockdown and immunizations have in store. Hugs to you from across the "Pond".
Sooooo happy for you!!!! Can't wait to see what's next! Cheers!!!! ☕
Best wishes to you in your new digs. It will be every bit as special as your last studio, as YOU are the magic ingredient that makes it special.
Thank you for sharing turning the page in your new chapter. Sending you love and light sister.
OMG, you are the cutest couple. My husband hugs and picks me up, just like James did, to you. Felt your happiness and love for each other. Makes hard days easier, when you have a helping hand.
My mate passed away seven months ago...it’s not “letting go” in the traditional way but I really struggled at first until I got this piece of advice: “If you hold too tightly to what is gone, you will not be able to embrace what is coming” and now, honoring the gifts of the past, I am able to welcome the blessings that are coming. You are among my blessings!
Dear Kaitlin, I am so very sorry for your loss and hope you can keep moving on. I do like your quote “if you hold too tightly..... “. Is this your own quote or thought? If so, I would like your permission to use it in some art. It’s beautiful, God bless you.
Thank you Kaitlin for sharing. Blessings with light and love to you.
I hope to be a permanent friend with you, I am more Do you accept that I be a permanent friend? I am from Iraq💝💝💝💝💝🙏🌹🌹🌹🌹
Oh l just need to hear this it's time l moved out of this city all my pals left! And time for pastures new! RIP your friend we all meet again in Spirit!🌈💖
I watched this video when it was well over a year old so don’t know if you are able to see comments after a certain time frame, or if you’d have time…….you are quite popular, you must be aware. I am not making my living from Art, having had 2 careers, the 2nd ended before I was ready due to poor health, but I have many artistic pursuits, more along the lines of fiber, fabric, the needle arts, especially silk ribbon embroidery, beading and bead embroidery, quilting, and Art quilts, where my different pursuits can really come together in one piece. Your thoughts and comments about letting go and allowing some things to be done or gone so other things can come in really resonated with me. Having to give up the literally hundreds of people I interacted with in my business was very tough. Your comments were relevant to a creative group I participated in for a long time, and had to let go of. Even if there is a good reason for letting something go, I think you may grieve the loss of the good aspects, even though you are glad to bid some things farewell. I think that is what you were articulating about the studio you left. I enjoy watching a video of yours here and there, and love your soothing voice. Be well!
Congratulations Wendy. You seem so much lighter and more positive. X
You will bloom wherever you're planted gypsy girl!!!!🤗❤️💙💜♥️🌹🌷🌻🥀🌾
Just so you are aware... (I'm only a user not creator of RUclips) but stories & even sometimes the community tab don't get much exposure. That may change in the future, but I don't see either of them often but community posts pop up more often than stories.... Loved the swinging giggle at the end! So much spontaneity & unbridled joy! 👏💗💕
I love letting go, it always means a new chapter which fits you more. We grow as humans and after a while we just need renewal. Renewal from the inside translates into renewal on the outside. I always imagine those times. when you have a plant in your care. How gooooood it feels when you see your baby (plant) has grown. And me (mommy) have to step it up and feel/get new knowledge about how his or her new environment has to be in order for him or her to continue to grow and live comfortably. Those are the golden moment in life when you know you have done so well that you can go on to the next experience. I love it. Love you peepz 💕🌄🏖 We do not like to let our baby, sit in a diaper full of pooh either. 💛
You and James make such a great team. It really is beautiful to watch. All the best with your new studio and thank you for another inspiring video. 🙌🙌
PS: I was the 1,700th person to like this video. Yay!!😁😁
Sweeping and blessing the space for the new tenant...yes. Beautiful.
Wendy you are lovely,you are magical! How wonderful to see you dancing in that beautiful fairy,enchanted forest. How freeing that would be, I think of the hippies back in the 60's, how they loved to dance at festivals by themselves and with others. Your art work is wonderful and of course magical. I like to draw hippie girls. My sister showed me your video! Thank- you for your videos, you are quite special! Guess what? My name is Wendy too. I have always loved my name, why? Because it's from a fairy tale, its a little magical name. Love to you, Wendy from new jersey
You two were so adorably fun to watch with your clean out. Congratulations on your new adventure!
I'm about to have my first uni interview in a few minutes and I was really nervous but your video has completely calmed me down. very needed.
Go get it Paige!!! You will do great!!!
Best of luck Paige!!!
You totally got this!! Hope it went well!! xx
Good luck Paige!! Hope it went okay! 🤞🏻
I hope it went well!
❤ my Unexpected Gypsy! Bring in the Joy and new beginnings....👍🌹
Love the sound of your laughter in his embrace...made me think of a birth I attended where as soon as I laid the baby girl into her mommas arms the mother began laughing in a joyful laughter that continued for hours. As my assistants and I cleaned up and let the family alone for bonding we could still hear her laughter....since then my ears perk up when I hear joy in laughter. Thank you for sharing Wendy.
In America you can't say ANYTHING ....we are being severely censored in every aspect.....EVERYTHING is strange here . Best wishes in your new endevors. Change and new things can be exciting. I find all the emotions connected to change creatively enspiring. God Bless.
I'm so happy for you!!
Thank you so much, beautiful, nor me yours! How funny we both have a new studio at almost the same time!!!
@@theunexpectedgypsy You two should do a video together! I love you both
Happy Trails creating Happy Tales💖
🙏🏼💖🕉💖🙏🏼
I had this happen with a boarding barn I had my horse at. The lady that ran the place was also my riding instructor and I had known her for a few years and got attached to her guiding me, as well as her friendship. Over time things change and we change. It happens so slowly and we keep adjusting and adjusting. I was eventually pushed out of that place. I think the universe helped me :-) for the first few days I was in stock, but when my horse happily got on the trailer I saw that as a sign and haven't looked back. I am at a wonderful place now and finally have an indoor arena! so now the freezing cold snowy winters have not stopped me riding.
I love your positive energy during the move from the studio you’ve enjoyed for three years. The positive energy helped you quickly,find a new studio place for you to create. I’ve been in a creative funk since the beginning of December of 2020, I’ve had to move across the state to care for my ailing mother and the space I now have is in my tiny bedroom in my mother’s house. I have nothing but,positive vibes now that you shared yours,thank you.
Well I can relate to you as I had no space when we lived in the van... a tray can be a best friend with all your art supplies and then just slide under the bed... xx loads of love and hope you get out of your funk soon... xx
I’m so excited for you, Wendy! Your mood is light, happy, and full of promise! Congratulations on the studio move and for all the positive changes you’re making!
You seem to be the kindest, gentlest person. I wish you much good luck and creativity in your new studio.
TY so much Susan, loads of love xx
This video made me very sad at the beginning - goodbyes are hard! But I love your new space!! So glad you are happy with it. Btw, I am painting again and working on two art journals all because of you! ❤
No one is cuter than you and James!
I absolutely agree with you! They are totally adorable together, you can feel the love! ❤❤❤
Oh, I so needed this video of sheer happiness right now. I will be moving in about 4 months to another state far away from what I am used to, so I can be with my daughter and her family. I have a prefect set up here and will truly miss it. I am hoping I will find another special place in my new home. You have given me inspiration for that.
Watching you two in the time lapse made me so happy, you could feel your connection even with it speeded up. Good luck in your new studio, very happy for you. 💚💚💚
Hahah! we are comedy!! xx TY xx
Congratulations on your move! James is a keeper for sure! Can’t wait to see your new studio.
He is!! xxxxx TY xx
Congrats on your new studio, you certainly can see your transformation and you come across happier and lighter. Looking forward to your studio tour and when your shop is open. Thanks for sharing
I wish you all the best in your new studio!🍀🍀🍀 I agree that's very important to let things go when it's time. Thank you for sharing.🌼🌺
Love love love joining you for coffee chats ... so very happy for you and James -- new studio space, new beginnings -- big hugs and pats on the backs!! love from here from us!!
Super-duper happy for you and looking forward to seeing the new studio xxx Have a great weekend.
Wow... New beginnings! So exciting. Thank you for sharing your journey with us.
Looking forward to seeing you in your new studio
xoxo
I'm surprised you kept going with the vlogs at all: well, done! ....bet you didn't get much painting done.... Hope the new studio will continue your "Up-story" and feed your creativity! Always look forward to seeing more of you and your work: so inspiring! Thank you and have a fab time settling in!🌷🌷🌷
Your’s is the only vlog I follow. It has been so helpful for me this past January when I was just not feeling it. You chatting through your emotions really helped me and this just got me moving forward again because I knew it was a shared struggle. Thank you for your transparency.
Wow, truly honoured Linda 🌷 thank you xx
I am so happy for you Wendy ! So many things resonated with me from your video. From ready to give up. To a big blessing in your new space and especially to joy and love you can see between you and James. Wish I could like / love this more than once ! Excited to see your new space with your things in it. It looks amazing in the empty space shot !! Big virtual hugs from across the pond!!
I am so happy for you! Thanks for sharing your process of letting go. I had a good cup of tea with you while watching! It is such an uplifting and motivating video. And it is so beautiful to see your love with James. This is priceless!
I hope to be a permanent friend with you, I am more Do you accept that I be a permanent friend? I am from Iraq💝💝💝💝💝🙏🌹🌹🌹🌹
Congratulations on your new space! And having the guts to change when you knew you needed to. Thank you for illustrating so well the way that when one door closes another opens.
🤗🤗🤗Letting go...physically, mentally, emotionally...such an internal tug-of-war...exhausting & painful...
Of course, I know that you are aware that you not alone in dealing with this process... Especially during this past year, so many of us have faced this in one or more areas of our lives...so sorry for your loss of the old yet so happy for your gain of a lovely new space to continue your artistic pursuits! Enjoy & please continue to share your journey with us! 🤗🤗🤗
I can't believe RUclips removed your story with you lying on the floor, relaxed and smiling. Congrats on your new studio and the next chapter of your personal journey! Moving ahead is always a positive thing! Enjoy your new space!!!
I know, crazy right? xx
I do believe they use mathematial algorithms to drop videos. It’s wasn’t a person who did this is was AI or artificial intelligence. The shocking thing is the level of sensorship we all are subjected to and don’t even realize it.
As odd as this sounds, it might have been the pose. I seem to remember Wendy on the floor, lying spread-eagled. The photos are scanned by computer and the algorithm might have seen it as being sexual in nature. I could be wrong, but that's my hunch.
@@DanceswithDustBunnies I think you are to something there but what was so disconcerting was the fact Wendy could not appeal their action and give them feed on the mistake.
@@bonniejonas5150 I had posted a private video of a clip from 'Desperate Romantics', of Rossetti (played by Aidan Turner) in a, erm...sex scene. If you've seen the show, you know the scene I'm talking about. It was private; I'd sent the unlisted link to someone to illustrate something we'd been talking about regarding sex vs violence on TV. YT not only took the video down, but gave me a ding. Which went away after 3 months I think.
I tired to appeal it--there was a process at that time--but to no avail. I felt because it was private, they really had no right to censor it.
What a lovely video! Thanks for sharing your progress. Such a bitter-sweet time for you. And alot if work tearing down and setting up again. But indeed it is a good thing to let go. But not easy. I pray your new studio will be filled with blessings and good energy for creating!
❤❤❤🤗❤❤❤
WOW!! What a surprise and great news that you are in your own space now! CONGRATULATIONS!! Your previous space was a joy to view, but I completely understand and agree on needing some alone time to create. Will look forward to watching your future videos in your new lovely space. Cheers and sending many happy warm squishy vibes to your new space. xoxoxox
Hookey!! Hey!! xxx Thank you dearest one, it will be so much easier to be creative and get more painting done!! Big soft hugs to you and have a great weekend too xxxx
So pleased to see you excited and with a spark again. I know you’ve struggled over the last few weeks. Excited to see your studio and following your journey. Bring on spring! I’m ready! Thank you for sharing x
So very happy for you. What a great start to the year. Look forward to watching your adventures and creations this year. Thankyou for letting me see into your world. Xxx
I'm so happy RUclips directed me to your post. You are lovely! Excited to follow you here and wishing you many blessings in your new space and with new doors continuing to open for all! ;)
Hello Unexpected Gypsy ! just discovered your lovely channel,well as a fellow artist I am so envious of your new bright studio it looks so cheery and full of energy,and you too are full of vibrant energy which is the way that I like people to be instead of drab and dreary.I love the colours in your aura which are also reflected in your work and those journals are inspiration to get going back on mine again,I wish you well in your new space and know that soon you will be hard at work creating new things for us all to enjoy.I know what you mean by letting go sometimes its not easy but when you look at the future and what it holds for you then the hard work and effort is well worth it,so go forth and paint in this new era !
Congrats on your new creative space. I admire that you take your decisions with much thought and concern to do what is best for you. Love watching the process and learning through you. Much love to what the future holds for you.❤️
Blessings for your new space and thank you for your beautiful videos :) Look forward to seeing where this windy road takes you next.
What a sweet couple you are! And such a wonderfully bittersweet and hopeful video..blessings to you and your new space and thank you for bringing light to my day...
You are an amazing woman ! Happy for you and James! I’m sending you light and unconditional love ! You are a blessing!!
Its always lovely having a coffee break with you! Congratulations on your new studio! All good wishes for your moving forwards!🦋💙🦋
Yeah, nice having coffee with you too Scarlet, and thank you xxxx
Really pleased for you. All best for this new season in your life. Enjoy your new adventures! 🤗❤️
How wonderful❣ Kismet! Couldn't be happier for you!! We were a bit worried so very relieved to know all is well! And God bless James and may the Goddess bless you❣❣
I've been doing some letting go myself and tickled to say, creating something everyday❣🧜♀️
Thank you for the comment about letting go and new beginnings. I'm being made redundant from a company I've been at for 6 years. I know I need to let go as it wasn't great for me, but is hard. Hearing your comment is important for me, thanks again ❤️
I'm so happy for you and I send you loads of love and best wishes in your new studio. Can't wait to see what you're doing! Many, many blessings to you and James!
I found you about 3 weeks ago and now I pretty much watched most of your videos.....I absolutely adore you. You are such a lovely and beautiful and talented soul xxx
Letting go of something we love is always hard, but something greater is coming so I know you'll be just as happy in your new studio. :) All the love to you, Wendy! ❤️️
Yes! Cristy, exactly!! Thank you so much, loads of love back xxx
I hope to be a permanent friend with you, I am more Do you accept that I be a permanent friend? I am from Iraq💝💝💝💝💝🙏🌹🌹🌹🌹
Good morning wendy. It is so good yo see you back to you. I am very happy you have made this change. Moving is always hard work and emotional but well worth it. Take care dear heart and stay safe. 💓🤗🧚♀️
So glad you have a new space! Your energy seems to have shifted. 🙂
Yes, it has! It all happened so fast but it all happened perfectly too! xxx
Letting go of something you love because you know it's time to move on really spoke to me. I plan on resigning from my job of nearly 3 years that I love because I know it's not what's best for me anymore. So hard to say goodbye but I hope it will open new doors
I hope to be a permanent friend with you, I am more Do you accept that I be a permanent friend? I am from Iraq💝💝💝💝💝🙏🌹🌹🌹🌹
Yep, having to let go of things is hard. I'm still trying to adapt to new lifestyle following health issues, having to let go of any idea of being who I used to be. But i've realised that unless I embrace change and new routines to stay well then I won't be living, I'll just be existing. On the plus side I have decided to do art daily, start an art journal and be kinder to myself - so not all bad. Thank you for sharing life with us Wendy!
Such a good reminder to let go - to let the new in. I need to hear that - mine is clutter. It's lovely to see you so happy and rejuvenated xx
Thank you for not only sharing your art with us but your heart and life. May God bless this new chapter and adventure. Hugs from Costa Rica. It was beautiful to hear and watch you laughing!!! 🌸😊
The new space looks amazing, and I know you will have many happy, creative hours there. I cannot wait to see next weeks tour. Good fortune and many well wishes.
Congratulations !❣ Blessings and big virtual hugs ❣💞 Excellent job!👍🌟
This is beautiful. So wonderful to be part of this journey with you.
So very happy you have found a lovely space just for yourself.
Loved watching the speedy version on the video of you moving things out of the studio.
Looking forward to the next one 💖
Congratulations Wendy on your move! Although change is hard, you seem very happy with your new space. Thank you again for continuing to share your journey with us all!💙
This is so timely for me, I had to leave my 'happy place' studio just before Christmas and I was sad. I couldn't find another place so my art things are in storage. Your comments really helped me find peace about letting go....thank you 😊 💓
Loved your video. Your new studio is great. Love the lighting. I really needed to hear the "letting go" bit today. Thanks for being real.
Your "Letting go" has so much power in itself. You are an inspiration for facing fear and understanding that letting go is the action that must happen in order to move forward. Thank you! Love your channel!
I am so happy for you and your new space. Over the past year I have had to let some things go. I am also much happier now. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Wendy. I felt for you going through the moving process, but congrats on the new studio popping up just at the right time. I look forward to seeing it. Love Trills xxx
Congratulations Wendy! Such an exciting time for you. Can’t wait to see what creative vibes come next for you. Looking forward to the tour!
Thank you Amy 😚😚🌷🌟
I am not even sure how I stumbled on to your videos but so glad I did. I have watched several in the last week and feel like you are on old friend. I am also going through lock down and all the feelings that come with that. You inspired me to do some art tonight and I am going to recommend you to my friends. Enjoy your new studio. Greetings and hugs from Burlington, Ontario.
Uplifting! It's human nature to find "letting go" become a real positive but as you said, more often than not it opens the way for something else which is new and exciting and becomes special. I moved house last October. I am about to have my very first art room in the smallest bedroom. Day before yesterday shelves finally went up and I can hardly wait to start filling them and organising where all my crap will go. LOL Thank goodness the room has a small fitted wardrobe! Discovered you today via an American FB friend. I live in Cyprus. So lovely to hear a British accent plus your being BoHo! :) Onto your next video!
Congratulations on your new space! I hope you find much happiness and inspiration there. All my card readings this week have been telling me to let go and make room for the new. I think I will follow your example!
I am so surprised that I missed this little video about the move, way behind but “happy sad” now too. I’ll watch the video move into the new space. All the very best, thank you so much for sharing.
So glad to see you happy with the change. I was so concerned that you had decided to shut down and I was facing a great sense of loss. Happy now that you have posted this video! Congratulations.
How wonderful! A new space with unlimited possibilities for the new year. I absolutely LOVE ❤️ everything about your channel, the content, and you. I found you by chance and am so inspired by your spirit and you are so down to earth. May your days be bright and creative! Thank you for sharing your stories
Aww Liz, TY sooo much for keeping me in the best company, honestly your comment has touched my heart. xxxxxxx loads of love xxx
Enjoy your new space Wendy, I noticed that you are seated by the radiator, wise move! Looking forward to tour of new studio next week x
so excited for you Wendy... and James too. Cant wait for the store to reopen, saving all my pennies to treat myself to the beauty you make put some Joy in my world too.
Clicked LIKE as soon as I saw you both at the window kissing and walking away holding hands. Everything before and after that is DOABLE...now to the video! OH WOW>>>you guys really MADE your whole studio! I had no idea. Brilliant. (third comment edit) The hug mid-move was delightful!
