There is absolutely no shame in taking time off and getting help with your art business. It's amazing you've been able to come this far as a one-woman team so building a bit of a team sounds like a good next step!
I love that wallpaper. The entire room turned out so cute, and you seem so happy with it! 🙌🏼 Also, for anyone reading this, Chloe’s paint brushes are amazing quality and I highly recommend pre-ordering them if it’s something you’ve been considering! I’m so happy with them. 💕
I would love to purchase Chloe’s paintbrushes but shipping to the UK is almost as much as the brushes. I am planning a trip to New York I am seriously thinking of getting them delivered to me once I am there 🙈
I can completely relate, to an outsider it can look like being a youtuber is easy, but there's so much work happening that no one else sees. Self-employment is a never ending job, we don't really have time off. I find it hard fitting in personal art projects around youtube and business art. It's fun, but can be tiring, I haven't had a holiday in about 4 years and barely a day off. Your studio and workshop are looking great! I'm envious of the size of your desk! I had mine custom made, but didn't have the space you have for one that large!
Whew, i'm working real hard denying myself breaks because this is what I want to achieve, I look at youtube artists like Slew, Andrew Tischler, Mark Crilley and others and it looks like they have it made, all I saw was the big studios, brilliant skills, and the chance to make money doing what you love instead of working at some miserable warehouse job but never thought about this aspect until now.
Chloe, I want to say that you singlehandedly inspired me to begin my art journey and on December 31st I completed my very first sketchbook. Please take care of yourself because you truly make a difference to a whole load of your viewers, not just me. Much love
Thanks for saying this Chloe. I was just trying to explain to someone the other day that all I want is to crochet for a month. They pointed out that's all I do, and I had to explain that what I meant was not working my day job, not typing up patterns or working on my Etsy, not filming, not editing, not dealing with customer questions - just actually getting to create without a ticking clock. Running a channel, particular a smaller one like mine, is 90+ hour working weeks. I'm changing up some of my content this year to try and give myself more room for creativity, and giving myself permission to take breaks when I need them - nothing changes if nothing changes!
Yes, the past 2 years have been rough. Personally, I lost both grandpas within 14 months of each other (one from Covid, the other from dementia), had 3 different jobs, and am trying to completely reorganize and reevaluate my room for the first time... ever. And yes, it is hard to let go of control and allow others to help you. I see that with how my dad tackles house work. Some things have been under construction for 3-5 years because they don't have the energy.
I’m so sorry for your losses 😔 it’s a tough time especially if you are dealing with the losses too, if it takes you a long time that’s ok, be easy on yourself! Your feelings are valid and if you don’t feel like doing something take time for yourself instead 😊
@@rachelvmayhill Thank you, Chloe and Wolfie. Loosing grandpa c to dementia, while we saw it coming for about 4-5 years, still hurts. Chloe, hope everything with your uncle got sorted out ^^.
Those that work from home (myself included) tend to actually work 24/7. We're doing the work, thinking about doing the work when we're not doing it, and then shaming ourselves for not thinking about or doing the work when we're taking a break and sometimes having nightmares about being a lazy failure. We don't ask for help because we think it would either be seen as failure on our part or that we'll be shamed by the person(s) we're asking for help from because "why can't you do it? You don't do much of anything all day, right?" And when you add your home life and the situation outside ourselves over the past 2 years... it's a miracle if or when we even make it out of bed in the morning. I'm going through a lot of what you are as well. I've finally been to the point of asking for help in many ways. It's hard to be kinder to yourself, but it's really important. 💜
You don't have to - and never should have to - explain or justify taking some time off. Your audience is here for when you do post, and we love watching whatever you do!
Hey Chloe, if you end up with a ton of those brushes you aren't happy with, some places sell discounted "B-stock." If it's not a functional issue (like bristles falling out), but more a cosmestic issue (like chips on the handle), some people will be happy to pay a discount for a "less perfect" product. Something to consider.
I completely feel you on the one person show ordeal. Back in 2019, right before the pandemic hit, I cut off the only family I had where I live due to their toxicity and my kids das basically stepped out of his parenting duties at the same time. I've been raising two young boys on my own through a pandemic. Fight or flight, survival mode. You have got to take time to sort yourself out. You're an entrepreneur and your own boss and manager! Don't be a slave to the RUclips algorithm. If you're in a position to take care of yourself then definitely do it 🙏 don't be afraid to ask for help with your product either! Stay safe and take care of yourself Chloe 😊 much love
I get your stress. I just started out as a RUclips artist and I'm learning filming editing and it isn't as fun as you think it would be. Take a break Chloe and we'll still be here to support you when you come back and remember it's ok to ask for help when you feel overwhelmed by the job. You are only one person. Let others assist you with your job so it can be the dream job. ❤️
Your hard work and dedication is beyond appreciated! Don't ever feel like you need to explain why you need a break! You are always entitled to some you time. Don't ever forget that! And don't ever be afraid to ask for help. I feel you! I'm a one woman band myself. Obviously nowhere near your level of subscribers, but it's still hard doing everything by yourself. Thank you for all you do, Chloe!
How is you uncle doing? Your Atilier is so lovely! It's been so wonderful to see my favorite YT artists grow into proprietors. It's such a joy to watch you prosper. I pray you have a balanced yet successful life. I'm always happy when people take time for themselves. My mother didn't feel as if she deserved to do so & we lost her at an early age. Please don't forget that your mental & physical health matter too. Besides, you can't take care of anyone else if you're sick yourself
I’m a frontline healthcare worker and I just wanted to say thank YOU! Your honesty and candor this entire pandemic has been so wonderful and I love being able to see you no matter if it’s once in a while or every week. Health and blessings to you! 💕
Chloe, kudos to you for taking time off. There is no shame in self care. So proud that you recognized and took action. Looking forward to what you will be creating in 2022!
I know you don't know me, and I don't know you, but I am so very proud of you. You've kept your chin up so well and you've made it through so much. You an an inspiration not just in the incredible art you make, but staying optimistic in spite of all of the turmoil and upset going on and going on for so long. You deserve every second off that you wish to take, you work so incredibly hard to provide almost endless free content- And you do all of that before you can work on your art or anything else behind the scene. You are absolutely spectacular.
"If being hard on yourself worked, it would have worked already" "If you're always doing 100% then it isn't your best but your average" aka doing your best does not mean burning yourself out, it means doing the best you can for the situation you're in, which includes taking breaks. I think the studios are looking good and I'm glad you took some time off. Please take care of yourself.
You NEVER have to apologize for taking the time to care for yourself. Thank you for addressing your struggles. Too much of social media presents a false narrative that is impossible for most to achieve. Thank you for keeping it real. Best wishes for 2022.
I'm glad to hear that you will take time off and get help with some of the things you have to get done. There is nothing wrong with that and I am sure it is the right move for your health. Don't forget that we watch you because we like you so all your fans want you to be well no matter if that means we don't get to see you for a while.
I found your honesty refreshing. It's good to know about all the stuff behind the scenes. It's a good thing to consider for those of us who might be considering a channel of our own. I had another business that I gave up because it didn't allow me to do my art or my art kept taking a back seat. Anyway, thank you for your honesty. Take care of yourself and your art, above all.
You are amazing, and I'm so glad you took some time to refresh! Self care! We all need it. The last couple of yrs have been tough. Being an essential worker was so scary, now I've got people I love struggling with big health issues. I am learning to take life a day at a time, and art is the best therapy. Thank you for creating a fun and cozy corner to learn, discover and relax in. Take care!!!
You are awesome and need to take care of yourself too. During this mess my husband was on the liver transplant list, finally got a liver but has no immune system at all. It is very scary so i get where you are coming from. The worst being we haven't been to Disney in 2 years and that hasn't happen since 1996. I love your videos and your love of Disney. You are a ray of light and hope to people who watch you, we appreciate you!!
This was such a great tour. I'm so impressed that you're doing the production for your mugs and pencil bags instead of relying on another company. It's just an additional bit of personalization that is important for us to know about to appreciate even more the work you put into what you do. ❤
♥️♥️♥️ You definitely deserve to take breaks and reset. I'm glad you put yourself first and made sure to get help when needed. Looking forward to seeing Artistic Bear Co continue to grow and flourish.
Nothing wrong with a reset. We all need to pay attention to our bodies and what is good for your mental health. Your well being is more important and you will bounce back. We are here you Chloe. Sending positive vibes 💟☮️🕉
I think it's absolutely wonderful what you've been doing! Congratulations on the upgrade to your studio, your office, heck, your life! You're a huge inspiration.
I am exceptionally picky about who I watch, I often avoid trying new channels because I am often disappointed. I saw your collabs with Jazza and decided to take a chance and watch you, I am so glad I did! You are such a wonderful, talented person, and have brought me much joy over the last few days, so thank you!
FOR THE ECHO, hang bolts of fabric as ceiling decor (bonus echo reduction if they hang sort of billowy). Put a couch or dressers in the room. Hang things (bolts of fabric even) from the walls. GORGEOUS SPACE
Mate I'm so proud of you for the amount of genuine effort you put into improving! It's really cool to see! From the organization to the brushes and eco packaging to the audio to staying safe in the pandemic - your integrity is inspiring 💛
I pre-ordered the brushes and I'm so excited to try them out! I'm a really amateur artist so I always buy really cheap brushes so just super excited for these!
The wallpaper looks sooo good! And those desks! It's my dream to have such large desks haha And I'm very glad that you took some time for yourself, you deserve that! Everyone should remember about their health, not only physical, but mental too! People underestimate how important is having some rest, some pleasure and some personal space. I hope you had good time and I wish you as much joy, fun and satisfaction of your work as possible!
I’ve been self-employed for almost 10 years now, and I feel everything you said. The last few years have been far more difficult than they should have been. Take care of yourself, take the breaks you need, and we’ll be able to enjoy more of your content. You make me smile, and I appreciate the effort. I know what it’s like to be upbeat and positive for clients but be devastated behind the scenes. You’ve come a long way by yourself - help is warranted!
Love you so much Chloe. I love & appreciate all your videos. Take time for you. There's nothing wrong with that. Don't let nobody steal your joy or make u feel less than. We love you and your videos. If u need time, take time. Guess what ?You're human. Sending you lots of love.
Chloe, Thank you so much for what you said at the end. It can be so hard to stop thinking about what you should be doing and how you should be feeling and recognize that your own perspective is valid even if your life may not be "as hard" as someone else's. It's important, though, and I appreciate the reminder. Looking forward to a great year of Chloe Rose Art!
No shame in taking care of yourself! It is SO much work being a one-person business. I did it for 7 years and got burned out from it. There's nothing wrong with having help and making it so you can focus your energy on the most important stuff. Here's to a better 2022!
I'm so glad you recognized the need for a mental health break!! 🥰 Bravo for you!! 👏👏 The stress and worry is real!! 👍 Also good for you to isolate for you mom!! ❤ That is a great sacrifice but she must know how much you love her by doing that!! 💞 I really like the wallpaper. It lets you have your evergreen with pops of color and is more cheerful and bright!! 🌲
Both rooms are beautiful and inspiring - I am so proud of you and your growing business!!! Absolutely take the time you need and balance you as an artist, an entrepreneur, and as a wonderful person. They are all important.
@17:03 yes! I absolutely understand you. I work a regular 40 hrs job, have a toddler & on weekends & nights I try creating art , editing vids, working on my website, etc, etc, it’s a lot of work that goes on behind the scenes that most don’t get to see. :)
Your feelings are absolutely valid! I’m glad you got a good long break. As someone that’s trying to start my own one woman business, (and this panini press hasn’t been helping) I can definitely agree with the stress and constantly being tired, even when you feel like you haven’t really been productive. Your health is incredibly important so definitely, take as many mental, physical, emotional health breaks as you need 🖤
Your room looks great! And, I'm glad you were able to take some time off to relax! By the way, if that light isn't screwed into a 2x4, be sure to use anchors so that it doesn't fall off the ceiling.
Chloe, this was a great video & thank you for being honest about how you’re feeling. It’s wise to take breaks before you end up on a longer term break due to sickness. 🥰
That's what I notice as well. If I wait to be sick enough it takes longer to heal but if I take a break when I feel I might be sick soon.. I recover in a day or two.
I get this. I overextended myself last year, I think in an over correction for how aimless I was feeling during the beginning of the pandemic. It wasn't healthy, and I was finding that I felt guilty anytime I took time to create art recreationally while struggling to meet deadlines. I'm in a better place now, with (a little) more time for relaxation, and it's a huge weight off my mind.
I had to learn that it was ok to take care of myself and not to put the pressure that nobody else is expecting on myself. I had a review once and my supervisor actually wrote that I needed to learn how to take care of myself, to take time off and not apologize for doing so. I think you are amazing and you deserve the same breaks as anybody else. It’s hard as a creator and a small business owner to remember that, I know, but try to keep in mind that you can’t fully take care of the people you love if you aren’t taking care of yourself first and foremost.
Your space is amazing! Its been so much fun watching you grow. 🤗 Everyone needs a little bit of R&R every now and then. Thank you for sharing your setup and new space with us. ❤️
Yes. Take care of yourself and prioritise your health because you only have one body, one mind and if you don't take care of yourself you can't do anything you want to do. Much love to you and here for you always!
Nothing wrong with taking extra time off. I don’t have a set upload schedule as I have a “9-5” type day job. I also have so many hobbies that many of them cycle around. I can go weeks or months without making artwork due to being more focused/into another hobby for awhile (such as crocheting). And some days I have little energy or motivation after work to do anything productive. I can’t wait to see what you have planned for this year!
Thank you so much for sharing how you are doing. So many of us are struggling but know how hard it is for others that we don't feel we have the right to also be burnt out. Having a full time job that I thankfully can do from home, plus owning multiple small business, I completely understand the fear of being lazy. There is always something to be done, or that should have been done yesterday. But we need to recharge too so we can put positive energy into accomplishing all things!
omg. when she said theres no paint on her chair YET. so relatable oml. i always have paint on my chairs. even the dining room chairs have paint on them, all of my possessions have little blots of paint somewhere on them.
My husband has told me that I should start a youtube channel. I told him, no thanks, I 'll just watch others. I know how much work you have to do. I appreciate your videos and what you have to teach me. Yes! You must take tine for yourself and obviously need some help for all that you do. Keep up the good work. ❤️
Love your videos girl! I hope to keep building my studio space and have one close to yours someday! You inspire me and are one of the reasons I started my art RUclips channel! Keep doing what you do best girl!!! 💕
That's the same label printer I use! I love it a lot! It's such a benefit that it's thermal and not ink based, the set up was super easy (I had it ready to go in a couple of minutes), and it's my favorite color. Seriously for all comment lurkers, I highly recommend it! Also, back to the subject of the video: the space looks great!
I definitely agree with 2022 being the year to get on with life and new goals! I am using this really to try to push me through the bad days and scheduling/time management and making lists to remember everything, have helped 10000%. Being able to check off a bullet on my To-Do list has been very motivating! Keep inspiring! Love you and your amazing art and channel!
I dont know if anyone has told you but there is a very easy way to hang that painting that you said was awkward. step one: you take wide masking tape and put it on the back of the frame where the holes/hooks etc are. step two: Mark them with a marker. step three: take the masking tape off of the frame and put on the wall where you want the frame. step four: put in screws or nails where the markings are. remove the tape and put up the frame. hope that helped :)
Love the new studio and packing room. Very happy you took some time for yourself. Thank you for sharing your feelings and behind the scenes struggles. You’ve also helped so many of us in the last two years. I’m glad you were here.
Hi, can you please update how your uncle is going now? … lovely to see you back on RUclips, be kind to yourself, love how honest you are about where you are and here’s to a good year and yes it’s been a crazy 2 years. wishing you a wonderful 2022 and looking forward to your lovely creations.
I love how the space is cute and functional. That wallpaper is lovely. I hope that you find people that can help you take part of the load. Thanks for the honesty and wish you a 2022 full of good vibes
As soon as you came in it reminded me of the size of your old studio at your house with the closet to the left and I feel this is also why you moved 😆cause it reminded you the comfiness of it
At the end of the day you’ve done your best, and that’s enough because you are enough ❤️ I feel the same way 100% so I totally understand! Just want to share what a good friend of mine told me that really helped with accepting that I’m not being lazy or unproductive during down time and that it’s still super important: “doing nothing is still doing something”. If your physically doing nothing, your still making a choice to do something, which is taking care of your mental health and needs. It may seem and feel unproductive/your wasting time, but that’s only because it is not a tangible thing we can see or totally measure with a metric (like we can with money or views on a vid for example). Anyways, I hope this helps you and anyone else who reads this to see that “doing nothing is still doing something” and that’s enjoying life. It will feel better in the long run, there will be ups/downs/growing pains and it does get easier over time, just gotta trust the process 😉 and good on you for recognizing you need the break and the help, those things in themselves can also be hard to overcome. Love the vid, the new space, your positive disposition and am excited to see what more is to come 😊
It seem RUclips is not very mindful of creator's mental health when it comes to the algorithm. I've seen quite a few people talking candidly about the pressure the algorithm has put on them in the past. I love the wallpaper! 😁 Nice high ceilings like yours can take a bold design. I love your space - even the 'business area' seems warm and comfortable. 😊 Have you noticed weather the new space has impacted your creativity in any way?
Nice to see you again Chloe. Your studio looks very comfortable & a nice creative space. Congratulations on the launch and selling out of your brushes.
We all need to take some time off! I get it, I've worked through this entire pandemic and I'm absolutely exhausted I will say one thing! I'm happy you are back! I'm a new-ish subscriber and I haven't drawn and painted in years! I've put my work life before myself for such a long time and watching you has brought my passion back! I've started drawing and panting again (polar opposite to you, I love dolphins and water scenes, sometimes cats) and current working on a dolphin scene right now! Thank you for inspiring me!
I'm really happy to see that you are literally doing this yourself. It's inspiring, too! Makes me want to get my stuff back up and running. Continued success to you, Chloe!
I was wondering why the wallpaper felt familiar but then I remembered! It reminds me of that one tapestry with the unicorn in a pen. (Looking it up I guess it’s “unicorn rests in a garden”). Love it!
I wish I had watched this earlier. I love your videos -- you've inspired me to just draw through some of my hardest bouts of anxiety, same with today! I've been away from my sketchbook since January just in a difficult life stress spiral. Right now I feel like I can draw for a few minutes for the first time in weeks. Anyway, thank you. So glad to hear that you're trying your best as well in all of this chaos.
I love your videos. I found your channel in 2020, and I can't tell you how happy it makes me to hear your voice saying 'how are you all doing? I hope you're all doing well.' It's great. I love when you make things, and show the struggles, when you debunk 5 minute crafts etc, it's all fun. I personally would love to see you sculpt something else. I love that little bear you made. ❤️ Also, people should not make work like their whole lives. If you need time off, you should never feel guilty doing that. I want to say I for one, appreciate you and alot of the RUclips creators who work incredibly hard to give us content.
There is absolutely no shame in taking time off and getting help with your art business. It's amazing you've been able to come this far as a one-woman team so building a bit of a team sounds like a good next step!
Well said!! I was going to say something similar haha :)

There is something soooo satisfying about seeing how other people have laid out their offices/studios, isn't there? :)
Yeah 😁
I love it

Yes, the past 2 years have been rough.

I'm glad to hear that you will take time off and get help with some of the things you have to get done. There is nothing wrong with that and I am sure it is the right move for your health. Don't forget that we watch you because we like you so all your fans want you to be well no matter if that means we don't get to see you for a while.
I found your honesty refreshing. It's good to know about all the stuff behind the scenes. It's a good thing to consider for those of us who might be considering a channel of our own. I had another business that I gave up because it didn't allow me to do my art or my art kept taking a back seat. Anyway, thank you for your honesty. Take care of yourself and your art, above all.
I missed your videos!!! So happy you uploaded
You are amazing, and I'm so glad you took some time to refresh! Self care! We all need it. The last couple of yrs have been tough. Being an essential worker was so scary, now I've got people I love struggling with big health issues. I am learning to take life a day at a time, and art is the best therapy. Thank you for creating a fun and cozy corner to learn, discover and relax in. Take care!!!
Loving the wallpaper. It's almost William Morris ❤️
You are awesome and need to take care of yourself too. During this mess my husband was on the liver transplant list, finally got a liver but has no immune system at all. It is very scary so i get where you are coming from. The worst being we haven't been to Disney in 2 years and that hasn't happen since 1996. I love your videos and your love of Disney. You are a ray of light and hope to people who watch you, we appreciate you!!
This was such a great tour. I'm so impressed that you're doing the production for your mugs and pencil bags instead of relying on another company. It's just an additional bit of personalization that is important for us to know about to appreciate even more the work you put into what you do. ❤
I LOVE the wallpaper!!! The super dark green was a nice thought but it ended up looking black on camera, this was a MUCH better choice 😍✨✨✨
Oh, I'm so glad it's not as echo- ey! Thank you for working to minimize that! I think it's much more of a cozy space.
The truth is that Chloe is a precious woman and very talented with her work. congratulations beautiful
♥️♥️♥️ You definitely deserve to take breaks and reset. I'm glad you put yourself first and made sure to get help when needed. Looking forward to seeing Artistic Bear Co continue to grow and flourish.
Does this mean that you're going to upload a "PACKING ORDERS WITH ME" video eventually cuz I would definitely watch that
Nothing wrong with a reset. We all need to pay attention to our bodies and what is good for your mental health. Your well being is more important and you will bounce back. We are here you Chloe. Sending positive vibes 💟☮️🕉
I think it's absolutely wonderful what you've been doing! Congratulations on the upgrade to your studio, your office, heck, your life! You're a huge inspiration.
I am exceptionally picky about who I watch, I often avoid trying new channels because I am often disappointed. I saw your collabs with Jazza and decided to take a chance and watch you, I am so glad I did! You are such a wonderful, talented person, and have brought me much joy over the last few days, so thank you!
FOR THE ECHO, hang bolts of fabric as ceiling decor (bonus echo reduction if they hang sort of billowy). Put a couch or dressers in the room. Hang things (bolts of fabric even) from the walls.
GORGEOUS SPACE
Wallpaper is awesome. You are fun and great. I am glad you took time off but very happy you are back. Your cheery attitude makes my day! Let do art! 😄
Mate I'm so proud of you for the amount of genuine effort you put into improving! It's really cool to see! From the organization to the brushes and eco packaging to the audio to staying safe in the pandemic - your integrity is inspiring 💛
The wallpaper is so pretty. I have not watched the vid yet but I can tell it is amazing as always
I pre-ordered the brushes and I'm so excited to try them out! I'm a really amateur artist so I always buy really cheap brushes so just super excited for these!
Thank you so much!! I really hope you like them when they are sent out to you 😊
So wonderful to see you again! Welcome back. We love you and hear you.
Thank you for sharing Chloe. Do what you need to do! You have so much support, we love you.
The wallpaper looks sooo good! And those desks! It's my dream to have such large desks haha
And I'm very glad that you took some time for yourself, you deserve that! Everyone should remember about their health, not only physical, but mental too! People underestimate how important is having some rest, some pleasure and some personal space. I hope you had good time and I wish you as much joy, fun and satisfaction of your work as possible!
I’ve been self-employed for almost 10 years now, and I feel everything you said. The last few years have been far more difficult than they should have been. Take care of yourself, take the breaks you need, and we’ll be able to enjoy more of your content. You make me smile, and I appreciate the effort. I know what it’s like to be upbeat and positive for clients but be devastated behind the scenes. You’ve come a long way by yourself - help is warranted!
Love you so much Chloe. I love & appreciate all your videos. Take time for you. There's nothing wrong with that. Don't let nobody steal your joy or make u feel less than. We love you and your videos. If u need time, take time. Guess what ?You're human. Sending you lots of love.
So glad to see you back Chloe, you're an inspiration!
Aw thank you!!
Good for you taking some time or yourself! That should be celebrated for all of us. Glad to see you back, but also glad you took time for you.
Chloe, Thank you so much for what you said at the end. It can be so hard to stop thinking about what you should be doing and how you should be feeling and recognize that your own perspective is valid even if your life may not be "as hard" as someone else's. It's important, though, and I appreciate the reminder. Looking forward to a great year of Chloe Rose Art!
No shame in taking care of yourself! It is SO much work being a one-person business. I did it for 7 years and got burned out from it. There's nothing wrong with having help and making it so you can focus your energy on the most important stuff. Here's to a better 2022!
I'm so glad you recognized the need for a mental health break!! 🥰 Bravo for you!! 👏👏 The stress and worry is real!! 👍 Also good for you to isolate for you mom!! ❤ That is a great sacrifice but she must know how much you love her by doing that!! 💞 I really like the wallpaper. It lets you have your evergreen with pops of color and is more cheerful and bright!! 🌲
Both rooms are beautiful and inspiring - I am so proud of you and your growing business!!! Absolutely take the time you need and balance you as an artist, an entrepreneur, and as a wonderful person. They are all important.
Definitely take care of yourself. It's great you'll have help. No one can do everything and stay happy and healthy.
4:02 the red flower above the C and L fits perfectly with the wallpaper
@17:03 yes! I absolutely understand you. I work a regular 40 hrs job, have a toddler & on weekends & nights I try creating art , editing vids, working on my website, etc, etc, it’s a lot of work that goes on behind the scenes that most don’t get to see. :)
Your feelings are absolutely valid! I’m glad you got a good long break. As someone that’s trying to start my own one woman business, (and this panini press hasn’t been helping) I can definitely agree with the stress and constantly being tired, even when you feel like you haven’t really been productive. Your health is incredibly important so definitely, take as many mental, physical, emotional health breaks as you need 🖤
Your room looks great! And, I'm glad you were able to take some time off to relax! By the way, if that light isn't screwed into a 2x4, be sure to use anchors so that it doesn't fall off the ceiling.
I love your new space! I had to share this with a few people. I bet the month off and the new space really energize you. Stay well! 😘
Chloe, this was a great video & thank you for being honest about how you’re feeling. It’s wise to take breaks before you end up on a longer term break due to sickness. 🥰
That's what I notice as well. If I wait to be sick enough it takes longer to heal but if I take a break when I feel I might be sick soon.. I recover in a day or two.
Lovely studio 👍 nice wallpaper. Love the new arrangement 🧸
just a thought about the "useless" top shelf... if your get some 's' hooks you can hang things like pans or bags etc.
I was thinking the same thing- hang stuff!!!
I get this.
I overextended myself last year, I think in an over correction for how aimless I was feeling during the beginning of the pandemic. It wasn't healthy, and I was finding that I felt guilty anytime I took time to create art recreationally while struggling to meet deadlines. I'm in a better place now, with (a little) more time for relaxation, and it's a huge weight off my mind.
Glad you are taking action and putting yourself and mental health first. I wish you so much good luck in this year!
I had to learn that it was ok to take care of myself and not to put the pressure that nobody else is expecting on myself. I had a review once and my supervisor actually wrote that I needed to learn how to take care of myself, to take time off and not apologize for doing so. I think you are amazing and you deserve the same breaks as anybody else. It’s hard as a creator and a small business owner to remember that, I know, but try to keep in mind that you can’t fully take care of the people you love if you aren’t taking care of yourself first and foremost.
Your space is amazing! Its been so much fun watching you grow. 🤗 Everyone needs a little bit of R&R every now and then. Thank you for sharing your setup and new space with us. ❤️
Love the switch of rooms. You def made the right choice space wise. Glad you had a good time off and look forward to more painting 🙂
Work is work and everyone needs time off. Love the art space
So Happy you are Back dear and Happy you got your time off that you needed . Love your space very Kool
Yes. Take care of yourself and prioritise your health because you only have one body, one mind and if you don't take care of yourself you can't do anything you want to do. Much love to you and here for you always!
We love you and there is a strength in admitting you can’t do everything 💖
Nothing wrong with taking extra time off. I don’t have a set upload schedule as I have a “9-5” type day job. I also have so many hobbies that many of them cycle around. I can go weeks or months without making artwork due to being more focused/into another hobby for awhile (such as crocheting). And some days I have little energy or motivation after work to do anything productive.
I can’t wait to see what you have planned for this year!
Thank you so much for sharing how you are doing. So many of us are struggling but know how hard it is for others that we don't feel we have the right to also be burnt out. Having a full time job that I thankfully can do from home, plus owning multiple small business, I completely understand the fear of being lazy. There is always something to be done, or that should have been done yesterday. But we need to recharge too so we can put positive energy into accomplishing all things!
omg. when she said theres no paint on her chair YET. so relatable oml. i always have paint on my chairs. even the dining room chairs have paint on them, all of my possessions have little blots of paint somewhere on them.
That wallpaper is so beautiful. I am all about the teal tones. 😍
I missed your videos, BUT, I'm really happy you took your break! It's so important to take breaks, so yay to you for doing it!
Good for you to listen to what you needed lady. Love your videos. 🫂💕🙏🏽
My husband has told me that I should start a youtube channel. I told him, no thanks,
I 'll just watch others. I know how much work you have to do. I appreciate your videos and what you have to teach me. Yes! You must take tine for yourself and obviously need some help for all that you do. Keep up the good work. ❤️
Love your videos girl! I hope to keep building my studio space and have one close to yours someday! You inspire me and are one of the reasons I started my art RUclips channel! Keep doing what you do best girl!!! 💕
Love you and glad you were able to take a break! Blessed and safe days!
That's the same label printer I use! I love it a lot!
It's such a benefit that it's thermal and not ink based, the set up was super easy (I had it ready to go in a couple of minutes), and it's my favorite color.
Seriously for all comment lurkers, I highly recommend it!
Also, back to the subject of the video: the space looks great!
I definitely agree with 2022 being the year to get on with life and new goals! I am using this really to try to push me through the bad days and scheduling/time management and making lists to remember everything, have helped 10000%. Being able to check off a bullet on my To-Do list has been very motivating! Keep inspiring! Love you and your amazing art and channel!
I dont know if anyone has told you but there is a very easy way to hang that painting that you said was awkward.
step one: you take wide masking tape and put it on the back of the frame where the holes/hooks etc are.
step two: Mark them with a marker.
step three: take the masking tape off of the frame and put on the wall where you want the frame.
step four: put in screws or nails where the markings are.
remove the tape and put up the frame.
hope that helped :)
Organization is SUCH a game changer, truly! Love seeing how you've kept it up in your new space! Also, that wallpaper is amazing. 🤓
Notification squad, and first! I missed you. Glad you're back and well! :3 💕
I don't care why or what.
You don't have to justify yourself to us
I just missed you and are glad your back.
Love the new studio and packing room. Very happy you took some time for yourself. Thank you for sharing your feelings and behind the scenes struggles.
You’ve also helped so many of us in the last two years. I’m glad you were here.
Hi, can you please update how your uncle is going now? … lovely to see you back on RUclips, be kind to yourself, love how honest you are about where you are and here’s to a good year and yes it’s been a crazy 2 years. wishing you a wonderful 2022 and looking forward to your lovely creations.
I love how the space is cute and functional. That wallpaper is lovely. I hope that you find people that can help you take part of the load. Thanks for the honesty and wish you a 2022 full of good vibes
Still have to watch this, but commenting for our good old friend Algorithm! 🥳
Missed you Chloe!
As soon as you came in it reminded me of the size of your old studio at your house with the closet to the left and I feel this is also why you moved 😆cause it reminded you the comfiness of it
At the end of the day you’ve done your best, and that’s enough because you are enough ❤️ I feel the same way 100% so I totally understand! Just want to share what a good friend of mine told me that really helped with accepting that I’m not being lazy or unproductive during down time and that it’s still super important: “doing nothing is still doing something”. If your physically doing nothing, your still making a choice to do something, which is taking care of your mental health and needs. It may seem and feel unproductive/your wasting time, but that’s only because it is not a tangible thing we can see or totally measure with a metric (like we can with money or views on a vid for example).
Anyways, I hope this helps you and anyone else who reads this to see that “doing nothing is still doing something” and that’s enjoying life. It will feel better in the long run, there will be ups/downs/growing pains and it does get easier over time, just gotta trust the process 😉 and good on you for recognizing you need the break and the help, those things in themselves can also be hard to overcome. Love the vid, the new space, your positive disposition and am excited to see what more is to come 😊
It seem RUclips is not very mindful of creator's mental health when it comes to the algorithm. I've seen quite a few people talking candidly about the pressure the algorithm has put on them in the past.
I love the wallpaper! 😁 Nice high ceilings like yours can take a bold design. I love your space - even the 'business area' seems warm and comfortable. 😊
Have you noticed weather the new space has impacted your creativity in any way?
Nice to see you again Chloe. Your studio looks very comfortable & a nice creative space. Congratulations on the launch and selling out of your brushes.
We all need to take some time off! I get it, I've worked through this entire pandemic and I'm absolutely exhausted
I will say one thing! I'm happy you are back! I'm a new-ish subscriber and I haven't drawn and painted in years! I've put my work life before myself for such a long time and watching you has brought my passion back! I've started drawing and panting again (polar opposite to you, I love dolphins and water scenes, sometimes cats) and current working on a dolphin scene right now!
Thank you for inspiring me!
I'm really happy to see that you are literally doing this yourself. It's inspiring, too! Makes me want to get my stuff back up and running. Continued success to you, Chloe!
I was wondering why the wallpaper felt familiar but then I remembered! It reminds me of that one tapestry with the unicorn in a pen. (Looking it up I guess it’s “unicorn rests in a garden”). Love it!
Glad you are feeling better. Love the new studio, so pretty. Hope it inspires you and gets the creative juices flowing. Best wishes. 😇
I wish I had watched this earlier. I love your videos -- you've inspired me to just draw through some of my hardest bouts of anxiety, same with today! I've been away from my sketchbook since January just in a difficult life stress spiral. Right now I feel like I can draw for a few minutes for the first time in weeks. Anyway, thank you. So glad to hear that you're trying your best as well in all of this chaos.
I love your videos. I found your channel in 2020, and I can't tell you how happy it makes me to hear your voice saying 'how are you all doing? I hope you're all doing well.' It's great. I love when you make things, and show the struggles, when you debunk 5 minute crafts etc, it's all fun. I personally would love to see you sculpt something else. I love that little bear you made. ❤️
Also, people should not make work like their whole lives. If you need time off, you should never feel guilty doing that. I want to say I for one, appreciate you and alot of the RUclips creators who work incredibly hard to give us content.
