Wendy please don’t ever hesitate to express how you are feeling. I’m sure the majority of us can relate to what you are saying. I enjoy how you manage to get through your so called bumpy days and it is inspiring. Please keep being you! You motivated me today to declutter a little….lol….Lisa 💓
My dear Wendy... This is my first time leaving a comment on your videos but I feel the need to share a little bit of my feelings... You are one of the most magical, kind and wonderful human being I've found on this chaotic world of internet. Literally a ray of sunshine 🤍🤍🤍🤍 Just be yourself... I adore your raw and honest way to communicate with us, your little online friends☺️ Wishing you all the best in this bumpy and messy world 🥰😘
I have a craft/sewing room…and looks very much like your studio. Actually no…mine is very messy. It’s a catch all room. I have recently been working on it. I’m totally relating about energy. Thank you for being you and sharing your days with us all. I call our plants…plant babies…because of you. :)
'To Be Honest', yes!🙌So many 'bits and bobs' to gleen from you whilst clearing way for more creative happening! These past few years, I've learned from you how to be my own happy artist, to slow down and even STOP when needed, and to 'keep my light shining bright'. So, thank you, thank you, thank you for being a calm, soothing presence and at the same time, someone who is genuinely honest with us all when your feathers get a bit ruffled, 'so to speak'.😉 Much love to you🩷🧡💛
Every artist's dilemna is managing our work space. I've been decluttering slowly. Good for you Wendy. You did a great job. It can be soul sucking having a disorganized, messy workspace and daunting to tackle it. James is so wise. I overthink everything and then I procrastinate. Your plant babies look very happy and healthy. Sending you love. Rachelle xo
"Lets go". "Have a tea first?" Oh Wendy,that was so cute,i love it😂❤. You two are so special😊❤. It is good to know we are not alone,thank you very much Wendy🌻🥰
Do appreciate you sharing all levels not just upbeat only. Being happy all the time isn't realistic. ❤ Love creating ❤ it's messy organized chaos as is life. That journey I never know where I'll land next nor with whom? Loving my time with my beautiful rabbits 🐇 my pals and be amazing to never have to worry about finances ever. People we love slip away so quickly think of all the jobs I worked hours spent that I'd give up to be with the people that have passed away to have time with them again no money could ever replace them. That's what I try to remember working on my end. A few special people who very much love you deeply even your messy side is way more valuable than anything else on earth to me in this world. Beautiful to have a safe, stable home to call your own with loving people in that home 🏡 the rest seems a serious bonus. Whatever the bad new was or is hope it's a passing memory soon a very distant memory. Do love your channel and thank you for being authentic you. Sometimes music seeing someone organize helps more than you know. Showing all sides shows balance. Honestly because that's life Offline and online. Not all horrible and not all happy great either. Love those seemingly quiet uneventful days with people you love. My favorite days to have.
Really appreciate you sharing your 'not doing so well' moments. We are all struggling with something at the moment, and talking about these times and sharing how you cope is what I find so uplifting….Wendy you are like an 'emotional tonic', that gives us a refreshing boost ❤ so please do not stop.
I think I enjoy your channel so much because it is real. Nobody’s life is always perfect , we all have ups and downs ,and the fact that you share the ups and downs makes it a channel that I can relate to. My studio looks like a big mess too and I already decided that I was going to start going through it slowly and getting it where I needed to be. Like you said, I had this idea of what I wanted it to look like and I had to get over that because I needed the space to store not to decorate. It will take some time because like you, I have a lot of stuff that I’m not using that I want to sell online or at a Yard sale or gift to friends but I need to go through it. Thank you so much for such an inspiring video and thank you for always being yourself. Your channel is a lovely , genuine, and gentle place to visit !
Can I just say that your videos are so kind to me, and I often realize while watching them how unkind I can be to myself! I hear you give yourself grace to rest, not to compare, to sit down for a bit and have tea, and to allow yourself to step back with your creativity and pause. I’m constantly guilting myself for not being a steel steam engine and pushing through all those difficult moments…and it’s cruel to myself! I realized I would never treat an employee that way, so why do I do it to myself? Thank you, Wendy, for your beautiful self and for always being kind/reminding us to be kind. ❤
I'm a lost/uncertain artist in my 20's and you're my favorite art creator on this platform! While being honest with your emotions you also strive for positivity and it just feels real. It's refreshing and I keep coming back for more when I'm trying to get into the mood to paint. I appreciate you SO MUCH! 💖
Dear Wendy, Thank you for sharing your existence on you tube. You have brought me much solace and joy, and insight. I don't think you need to always be up, life isn't that way, and I appreciate your spirit, thoughtfulness, and honesty. You always make me smile and bring gentleness into my heart. Love to you and James. Peace, love, and light. -Anne
Keep it real, Wendy. Watching the processes you go through to run a business, be an artist and nature lover is educational and inspiring. I’ve been wanting to reorganize my art space and other areas. You have inspired me to get cracking. Sending ❤️ and light to you and James.
Those plant babies are thriving! Just be yourself and be real the way you have always been. That is what draws the right people to your channel. Life is not roses and chocolate all the time. I feel really connected with your real and uplifting videos. Wendy the studio looks lovely. Great job!!! ❤
I think it’s good to see the down days as well as the good and exciting. From my perspective anyway, it makes me feel like I’m not the only one having the odd struggle
I love it when you share all. It makes me feel I am not struggling alone ☺️ By now I think they are universal struggles so to speak. Hate ‘m, love ‘m. Furthermore I love to see how life doesn’t need to be perfect in order to be able to create beautiful things ❤
Please don’t apologise to those who say you’re not being uplifting. What’s rare these days is authentic, unabashed, vulnerable people, who are honest with the reality of life’s struggles, and willing to share life’s joys. This is YOUR channel, for YOUR community. We are here for the journey, not a simple, quick, glossed over, aesthetically pleasing destination. Thankyou for sharing the truth of most of us creatives… we have a hundred projects on the go at once, and another hundred we are collecting things for. Also, forgive me, but I lived vicariously through you when you ran barefoot in the grass. Becoming wheelchair bound in my thirties has robbed me of that simple pleasure. Of so so many little pleasures.
I enjoyed watching this video….I declutter and organize then several months later I get in a pickle again!! That is just how I am. I move things around and work then I feel better again…a wonderful creative cycle. Thanks for the inspiration.
Thanks for being so authentic, Wendy. Watching your videos always makes me feel that no matter what is happening in life, we can still try to shine our lights as much as possible. Watching you declutter and organize has given me back my motivation to do the same. Big love to you and James. 🤗🥰
Your studio space is charming. It even looks charming when disorganized. It's artistic chaos. Like a human sized fairy house. Please don't feel bad about it. Also, it really motivates me to clean up my spare room.
It is about being there for each other, i do not mind listening to sadder videos of yours. It is like having a friend to share about the happy or sad things in life... And for my part im honored to listen 🧡🙏
All for authenticity. Your videos helped me through Covid times. Being real is a more positive way to be than fakery! And, your humanity itself is happy shiny!!❤
Thank you for your channel. I love to come here to hear the kindness in your voice, through whatever you are sharing. Your kindness and your compassionate self-honesty. The mess and the process and the self-compassionate, playful, engaged pragmatism and self-honesty with kindness - all of it I find really nourishing. Many thanks! Wishing you always the best!
I think it’s great that you keep things real…especially these days when I think we’re all experiencing difficulties. Thank you for letting us in your world. X
I love step by step organising/ decluttering. I feel like I've been buried for the past 5 years but now I'm sprouting and I've started upstairs, small steps to make our house the place I feel calm and inspired. I've given myself the year to go through my house, room by room. And maybe next year the garden and the year after painting the house. And by that time a decluttering will be needed again! It is a process and I'm coming to enjoy it more and more. Your plant babies are amazing! I'd put up a shelf for them above the day bed, but that's me. I'm a shelf person 😊🥰 enjoy your organised space dear Wendy 🤗
I really like that you show all aspects of your art and life. Its nice to normalise the good and not so good days, feelings, and emotions that we all have. Showing how you deal with things is helpful and authentic. Thankyou. 😊
We're cool with whatever you do or whatever the state of your studio as we all feel simpatico! You're such an interesting person....James is a real treasure too!🤠Hugs from Texas!
As a fellow procrastinator I have a little advice: tidy up at the end of each day. It gladdens my heart when I get in the kitchen in the morning to an EMPTY sink! At the end of a creative session, I like to put everything back in its alloted space then next day it's ready for more. Thought I'd share as I've been watching you tidy up a few times!!
I love the "real" Wendy - whatever that may be - up or down. I am an artist and my husband travels for work. I dont have many friends so, listening to someone I can relate to helps ease the anxiety and inspires me to keep going. 💪 ❤🕊🕯
Wendy this video as Allways had been a Delight to watch and listen to ~ As for your speaking about challenges and what is happening in your Life please don't stop doing this ~ It is WonderFully Authentic and Real (unlike much of the sugar coated nonsense that we are fed through mainstream channels) You having the courage to just say things as they are is so very important, not only that but when people witness this it EnCourages them to take down their masks and to be Real too. You give people hope and Inspiration ~ So 'Keep on Keeping on' as the saying goes being flexible, changing with the ebb and flow of the circumstances of Life surrounding you ~ You are so very Loved by many here for not only Shining Your Light Bright 🌞also for gently guiding others to do the same 💡🌠
Thank you for sharing, it’s one of the things I like about your channel. That it’s not all perfect and Rosie like some channels. The last six months have been a challenge for Me and our family and the support I’ve had from you and the lovely people on your community has made a huge difference. I hope that we have helped you through the rollercoaster of these tricky times. Loved watching you declutter/clean the studio. We are almost done with a epic house/ garden and shed declutter. 4 skips , 100+ bags of rubbish and donations. It’s taken 9 moths to get here but can really see the difference. And I have my Attic craft /art studio back. Keep your chin up and sending love and hugs
Good Monday Morning dearest Wendy. Enjoying my coffee while listening to you and makes my heart happy. You are perfect in being yourself. You do not need to apologize for any content. You sharing the good and bad days are needed and appreciated so much. It allows all of us to accept ourselves as not being alone in our up/down days. You are most appreciated and a beautiful soul with a heart that is pure. Thank you for all you share whether up or downs. I love your studio and all you plant babies. They give life and help clean the air. The overhead windows are lovely. The way you style the art wall is fabulous. Don’t overthink it is a fab reminder in all life thoughts. I recently did some organizing in my art space too but feel like I need to change so things different after watching this video. ❤ Much love from my home to you and James. Have a beautiful week. 🌻💐🌺🌸🦋🧚♀️😘🍀🍀🥰
I love your videos! There are so many of us that can relate in so many ways. Thank you for reminding us to take it, whatever IT is, as it comes and be gentle to ourselves. Every time I left from a visit with my grandma she used to kiss me and give me a big hug and tell me to be good to myself. As a child I thought that was a funny thing to say. Now, I am now the grandma telling that to my grands and know that is a lesson that I want them to learn. Bless you. 🙏🏼❤️
Oh my goodness, I just loved this video so much sweet Wendy. You inspire me all the time, but this one was exactly what I needed this early morning as I was doing a few dishes before heading off to work. Just starting is huge. You and James are so adorable together. Keep on shining bright, the world needs you!
Your studio looks wonderful! The way you have your artwork displayed is inspiring. I completely agree regarding the space needing to serve our needs in the way we work. Thank you for sharing with us and I hope the troubling times/events will be soon resolved. BTW, I appreciate your transparency with us ~ you help support and strengthen us during our down times. Sending you strength and lots of love.
Good morning Wendy, i think showing the bumps of life is good , it really life and being honest, which i love , thank you . Keep going with the tidy up , it will make a difference for you . Keep your light bright, soft hugs Teresa xx
I LOVE the fact that you are SO real about your life , I find it very uplifting knowing that I’m not alone in my own struggles and bumpy times. Please keep being authentically you in your own world. More often than not it’s your wobbly days that help to keep me going, knowing that WE can get through this together. ♥️🧡💛💚💙💜🌿
Hi Wendy, thank you so much to show your way of declother. It was very nice to see you again. I love it that you are honest and share. Our biggest journey is to find ourselfs. And i am so happy that you are in my life. Thank you. Wilma
Lynn here on Hubby's phone mines playing up 😏, Hi Wendy , Oh you don't know how much your videos are helping me through the toughest time of my life , the amount of massive things I'm trying to live through is ridiculous, their that big each one , most people only ever have to face one of them , but I've got them all going of at once , honestly, I nearly didn't make it through yesterday 😢, So Thank You so much for sharing your world XX ❤, Love to James x❤
@@theunexpectedgypsy Lynn on Hubby's phone, Awww Wendy , you are my rock , a proper life line , Thank you so much , lots of Hugs to you too , me and mum were big on Hugs , they do work too don't they 🤗, Take Care you lovely person , you truly are Beautiful inside and out 😘❤️, love to James too ❤️
I'm glad you were able to "win". I'm so jammed up. I feel like I've been psychically paralyzed since around 2016, when my stress got so bad that I've had to hide with my head in the internet to keep from losing my shit. Before that, I had been "shopping for entertainment", to get out of the house. I finally reached the point that I knew I had to stop bringing "beautiful things" home. Then my house got worse due to a needed renovation that I haven't put back in order. I'm not in a spot to worry about aesthetics, I really need some serious basic cleaning. Real is real, real is good. Your channel is so valuable, beyond watching and learning from your artistic process.
I personally think your studio is amazingly esthetic!!! 😍Online studio spaces are more staged sets, not at all real life working artist spaces. So I love your creative space.... all the workable surfaces, tools, unique areas. ❤❤❤❤❤❤But yes, even in my sewing studio a good tidy and reorganize ALWAYS feels wonderful. 😊
I think it is good that you keep things real and express how your feeling. There will be days were we are not going to have a good day. Organizing stuff is never easy to do but once done, it feels good to clear up the clutter and have more space. I love how you have your plants in there. Always good to de-clutter. ❤
Wendy, I just want to say that your authenticity is what makes me come here. So please don’t edit yourself for others. Share whatever you want to and those who don’t want to stay weren’t your people anyway. I’m also telling this to myself right now as I’m autistic and realise I’ve been masking my whole life and I didn’t know who I was.
I know how you feel about having a clean up. I make jewelry and journals, and lots of other crafts, when the mood strikes me. Before each project , I lay out all the things I need and then begin, once it's done, I have to clean up before I can do something else. It's too overwhelming to me, to work around the clutter. I need to go through my stuff and sort it out also, what I don't use and I need to get rid of, etc. It is a process indeed! I too am sensitive to light, sound, spaces. So yes you are not alone, dear one, you are in good company! Be well, and thank you for your videos they mean a lot to me, and so many others! Blessings to you! :))) Sending a big hug to you! :)))
I love your videos because you are real, Wendy and a wise woman! Your space looks great! I hope you are doing better. I hope you and James have a great week! ❤
I especially love it when you share your difficulties. It helps me think too and reassess and try and try again. I have only just come back to watching your videos after a break when I lost my dream of painting more and am now tied to a job that leaves me exhausted. You are so inspirational with your approach to life, through the good and the bad, that I feel I need you back in my life...maybe it will help me pick up the paintbrush again. Thank you for being you and all that you do.
Your sweet interactions with your dear partner are a pleasure to see and may be "relationship goals" if/when I decide to have a relationship again. Thank you Wendy💐❤️🙏🏽😊And thanks for being you, real and honest.
You and James are the cutest couple on the internet 🤩 keep sharing who you are in all of life’s twists and turns it’s a hard thing to do and I admire your vulnerability!!!
Hello sister. You are as always authentic and sweet . I relate with you on so many levels here !! I think we're doing very well with it all. That gratitude meter levels up and up !!! ❤
An artist studio always looks busy until organizing ..then the whole process starts again ..soooo good to see you better again!! Winter hugs from South Africa 🇿🇦
💜 I'm at the beginnin - you and James are so precious. I love what yall do with the card board boxes. You are an absolute inspiration , and I thank you for sharing Everything that you do / have. You are such a Blessing, as is James. ( flowers in the moonlight ) what a lovely title. I'm sending yall so much Appreciation and Love. xo
You are so real and authentic Wendy- I feel liberated too when I do a clean up. It clears the head and refreshes energy. Getting started is my problem! Thank you for sharing!
I laughed when you talked about being a minimalist, until it comes to arts and crafts stuff! Guilty too! I have also started to go through those things to get rid of the things I don't use or want anymore. I like that you keep your channel real, if it was all bright and shiny all the time, I think I'd get bored with it because then it would just be a performance. Thanks for sharing.
I really like that you are authentic. Thank you. The aesthetic "Instagram Perfect Workspace Award Area" is just not realistic. I've struggled with that myself. I've figured out ways to cover with curtains or drawers or doors, because sometimes, I just need clear space. But having a creative space with works in progress is not going to look unused. And that's OK. Part of the joy of creating is to be inspired by the things you are or might be using, the colors, the textures, etc. The occasional thorough cleanup and reorganization is coming at some point, and I know that, so I can let go and make my artwork. It feels good to clear out and make it ready again. Happy week to you and James. Hugs.
You give me inspiration to do art and real life like working out old boxes. Your clutter reminds me of Me! Thanks so much for sharing! Love and light ❤
You are a treasure! I just love organizing and sometimes I can get lost in it and then not create!! I don't have art space so it's in and out of a cupboard and that can really be an obstacle to getting to it! I need to schedule in that time to pull it all out, set up, and then how many hours to create and leave time and energy to put all back in the cupboard! At any rate, I am inspired and do appreciate your authenticity! Thank you!
You have got to be joking. The videos that you show that you are not going that great has helped me to love myself more and not put myself down for it. You keep being true. Love you both❤
❤😊Thank you for this and all your videos, they mean so much to me. 🤗 Don’t be embarrassed by a well used work space! I had someone say a messy desk is the sign of a cluttered mind. My response was an empty desk is the sign of an empty mind. ☺️ Love, Fran
This is just the motivation... I needed to tackle my space. It's time for a declutter & tidy up. Your space looks fresh & airy. I know that feels good. Love you have zones for different things.
I think it’s good to show all things. We need to know we are not alone.
oh and comments like yours, ensure I don't either, thnakyou x

I love your raw truth! Don't ever change! Society is pushing us to be unrealistically perfect. Creativity IS messy !
yes! exactly! thnakyou xx
My personal comfort with "the clutter" change, so I can live with it for a time until one day I can't and have to do what you're doing.
Wendy pet if your having a bad day 😢
Have a bad day you are only human be Kind to your self
And remember we all love you and keep shinning xxx
"Lets go". "Have a tea first?" Oh Wendy,that was so cute,i love it😂❤. You two are so special😊❤.
It is good to know we are not alone,thank you very much Wendy🌻🥰
I love that you explain the creative process and plants and open spaces. I can totally identify! Thank you for sharing!❤️🤗❤️
Totally agree about the fact that life is not a fairy tale and things are not always nice, neat and pretty. Great video.
thanks Daisy!! xx
I'm happy to hear your thoughts. See what you do. I'm struggling at the moment and appreciate a real person xx
I love to receive everything of yourself you wish to share it's a blessing Wendy darling 😘 thanks for sharing your beautiful spirit you're awsome 😘

Really appreciate you sharing your 'not doing so well' moments. We are all struggling with something at the moment, and talking about these times and sharing how you cope is what I find so uplifting….Wendy you are like an 'emotional tonic', that gives us a refreshing boost ❤ so please do not stop.
A productive workspace, regardless of whatever creative endeavour you do, isn't perfectly organised all the time. Creation comes from chaos 😊
I like the music that you choose! Nice quiet sometimes and sometimes gently lively. Really nice. Thanks!
Love your work Wendy , thanks for making the internet a better place to be. 💖✨

Hello Wendy, yes decluttering is the best thing and it helps so much.

Your kindness and your compassionate self-honesty.
The mess and the process and the self-compassionate, playful, engaged pragmatism and self-honesty with kindness - all of it I find really nourishing.
Many thanks! Wishing you always the best!
I think it’s great that you keep things real…especially these days when I think we’re all experiencing difficulties. Thank you for letting us in your world. X
I love your authenticity. Sending you a big hug from South Africa!
big loves back to you all the way there! xxx
I love step by step organising/ decluttering. I feel like I've been buried for the past 5 years but now I'm sprouting and I've started upstairs, small steps to make our house the place I feel calm and inspired. I've given myself the year to go through my house, room by room. And maybe next year the garden and the year after painting the house. And by that time a decluttering will be needed again! It is a process and I'm coming to enjoy it more and more.
Your plant babies are amazing! I'd put up a shelf for them above the day bed, but that's me. I'm a shelf person 😊🥰 enjoy your organised space dear Wendy 🤗
I really like that you show all aspects of your art and life. Its nice to normalise the good and not so good days, feelings, and emotions that we all have. Showing how you deal with things is helpful and authentic. Thankyou. 😊
We're cool with whatever you do or whatever the state of your studio as we all feel simpatico! You're such an interesting person....James is a real treasure too!🤠Hugs from Texas!
As a fellow procrastinator I have a little advice: tidy up at the end of each day. It gladdens my heart when I get in the kitchen in the morning to an EMPTY sink! At the end of a creative session, I like to put everything back in its alloted space then next day it's ready for more. Thought I'd share as I've been watching you tidy up a few times!!
I love how artfully candid you are. I always pursue your channel to see what you are up to.
I love a declutter and organise.
Thank you for reminding me that this is part of being a creative.
I love the "real" Wendy - whatever that may be - up or down. I am an artist and my husband travels for work. I dont have many friends so, listening to someone I can relate to helps ease the anxiety and inspires me to keep going. 💪
❤🕊🕯
thank you Dandelion xxx I hope your anxiety eases this week xxx
I love your authenticity, thank you for sharing the good and the bad, the tidy and the cluttered. ✨
Wendy this video as Allways had been a Delight to watch and listen to ~ As for your speaking about challenges and what is happening in your Life please don't stop doing this ~ It is WonderFully Authentic and Real (unlike much of the sugar coated nonsense that we are fed through mainstream channels) You having the courage to just say things as they are is so very important, not only that but when people witness this it EnCourages them to take down their masks and to be Real too. You give people hope and Inspiration ~ So 'Keep on Keeping on' as the saying goes being flexible, changing with the ebb and flow of the circumstances of Life surrounding you ~ You are so very Loved by many here for not only Shining Your Light Bright 🌞also for gently guiding others to do the same 💡🌠
Thank you for sharing, it’s one of the things I like about your channel. That it’s not all perfect and Rosie like some channels.
The last six months have been a challenge for Me and our family and the support I’ve had from you and the lovely people on your community has made a huge difference. I hope that we have helped you through the rollercoaster of these tricky times. Loved watching you declutter/clean the studio. We are almost done with a epic house/ garden and shed declutter. 4 skips , 100+ bags of rubbish and donations. It’s taken 9 moths to get here but can really see the difference. And I have my Attic craft /art studio back.
Keep your chin up and sending love and hugs
Good Monday Morning dearest Wendy.
Enjoying my coffee while listening to you and makes my heart happy.
You are perfect in being yourself.
You do not need to apologize for any content. You sharing the good and bad days are needed and appreciated so much. It allows all of us to accept ourselves as not being alone in our up/down days. You are most appreciated and a beautiful soul with a heart that is pure. Thank you for all you share whether up or downs.
I love your studio and all you plant babies. They give life and help clean the air. The overhead windows are lovely. The way you style the art wall is fabulous.
Don’t overthink it is a fab reminder in all life thoughts.
I recently did some organizing in my art space too but feel like I need to change so things different after watching this video. ❤
Much love from my home to you and James. Have a beautiful week. 🌻💐🌺🌸🦋🧚♀️😘🍀🍀🥰
Thank you for being real and sharing, happy or sad that’s our reality isn’t it, love hanging out with you😊 and the studio looks great! 😊❤️
I love your videos! There are so many of us that can relate in so many ways. Thank you for reminding us to take it, whatever IT is, as it comes and be gentle to ourselves. Every time I left from a visit with my grandma she used to kiss me and give me a big hug and tell me to be good to myself. As a child I thought that was a funny thing to say. Now, I am now the grandma telling that to my grands and know that is a lesson that I want them to learn. Bless you. 🙏🏼❤️
Yay! Spring has sprung across the pond.
Lovely England.
And...
Rock on with your authentic self!
thankyou so much!!! xxx Rock on too1!!
@@theunexpectedgypsy Thank you, Love. I will!!
Oh my goodness, I just loved this video so much sweet Wendy. You inspire me all the time, but this one was exactly what I needed this early morning as I was doing a few dishes before heading off to work. Just starting is huge. You and James are so adorable together. Keep on shining bright, the world needs you!
I always seem to resonate with where you are. Sending big love! 🌈❤️
awww lovely to hear, xx im not alone xxx big loves x
Your studio looks wonderful! The way you have your artwork displayed is inspiring. I completely agree regarding the space needing to serve our needs in the way we work. Thank you for sharing with us and I hope the troubling times/events will be soon resolved. BTW, I appreciate your transparency with us ~ you help support and strengthen us during our down times. Sending you strength and lots of love.
Thank you Linda xxx May your week be full of UPs! xxxxxxxx
Good morning Wendy, i think showing the bumps of life is good , it really life and being honest, which i love , thank you . Keep going with the tidy up , it will make a difference for you . Keep your light bright, soft hugs Teresa xx
So sweet to see a moment of what you look like when you're editing videos for us!
I LOVE the fact that you are SO real about your life , I find it very uplifting knowing that I’m not alone in my own struggles and bumpy times.
Please keep being authentically you in your own world.
More often than not it’s your wobbly days that help to keep me going, knowing that WE can get through this together.
♥️🧡💛💚💙💜🌿

I'm glad you were able to "win". I'm so jammed up. I feel like I've been psychically paralyzed since around 2016, when my stress got so bad that I've had to hide with my head in the internet to keep from losing my shit. Before that, I had been "shopping for entertainment", to get out of the house. I finally reached the point that I knew I had to stop bringing "beautiful things" home. Then my house got worse due to a needed renovation that I haven't put back in order. I'm not in a spot to worry about aesthetics, I really need some serious basic cleaning. Real is real, real is good. Your channel is so valuable, beyond watching and learning from your artistic process.
You two are the loveliest couple i have ever seen xxxx
I personally think your studio is amazingly esthetic!!! 😍Online studio spaces are more staged sets, not at all real life working artist spaces. So I love your creative space.... all the workable surfaces, tools, unique areas. ❤❤❤❤❤❤But yes, even in my sewing studio a good tidy and reorganize ALWAYS feels wonderful. 😊
I absolutely love your vlogs with all ups and downs of life after that’s what we can all understand, stay you Wendy ❤️
I think it is good that you keep things real and express how your feeling. There will be days were we are not going to have a good day. Organizing stuff is never easy to do but once done, it feels good to clear up the clutter and have more space. I love how you have your plants in there. Always good to de-clutter. ❤
Wendy, I just want to say that your authenticity is what makes me come here. So please don’t edit yourself for others. Share whatever you want to and those who don’t want to stay weren’t your people anyway. I’m also telling this to myself right now as I’m autistic and realise I’ve been masking my whole life and I didn’t know who I was.
I know how you feel about having a clean up. I make jewelry and journals, and lots of other crafts, when the mood strikes me. Before each project , I lay out all the things I need and then begin, once it's done, I have to clean up before I can do something else. It's too overwhelming to me, to work around the clutter. I need to go through my stuff and sort it out also, what I don't use and I need to get rid of, etc. It is a process indeed! I too am sensitive to light, sound, spaces. So yes you are not alone, dear one, you are in good company! Be well, and thank you for your videos they mean a lot to me, and so many others! Blessings to you! :))) Sending a big hug to you! :)))
I love your videos because you are real, Wendy and a wise woman! Your space looks great! I hope you are doing better. I hope you and James have a great week! ❤
I especially love it when you share your difficulties. It helps me think too and reassess and try and try again. I have only just come back to watching your videos after a break when I lost my dream of painting more and am now tied to a job that leaves me exhausted. You are so inspirational with your approach to life, through the good and the bad, that I feel I need you back in my life...maybe it will help me pick up the paintbrush again. Thank you for being you and all that you do.
hope your painting energy returns soon dear soul, xxx
Your sweet interactions with your dear partner are a pleasure to see and may be "relationship goals" if/when I decide to have a relationship again. Thank you Wendy💐❤️🙏🏽😊And thanks for being you, real and honest.
Finally! I'm getting a chance to watch this video! Love it♥️ Good to see you and James being so creative and happy!🤗
dear Wendy you rock, don't worry what others say that's negative, keep moving forward. hugs from australia
lol you said "you totes got this" when you were lifting Totes! When you see the messy, I see eye candy!
You and James are the cutest couple on the internet 🤩 keep sharing who you are in all of life’s twists and turns it’s a hard thing to do and I admire your vulnerability!!!
Love everything about this video. Thank you Wendy for bringing your wonderful self into our worlds. 😊❤
Hi Wendy….your space looks fab…..just for the record..you ALWAYS inspire me!! Thank you
Keep it real wendy X thank you
Hello sister. You are as always authentic and sweet . I relate with you on so many levels here !! I think we're doing very well with it all. That gratitude meter levels up and up !!! ❤
An artist studio always looks busy until organizing ..then the whole process starts again ..soooo good to see you better again!! Winter hugs from South Africa 🇿🇦
💜
I'm at the beginnin - you and James are so precious. I love what yall do with the card board boxes. You are an absolute inspiration , and I thank you for sharing Everything that you do / have. You are such a Blessing, as is James.
( flowers in the moonlight ) what a lovely title. I'm sending yall so much Appreciation and Love. xo
You are so real and authentic Wendy- I feel liberated too when I do a clean up. It clears the head and refreshes energy. Getting started is my problem! Thank you for sharing!
I laughed when you talked about being a minimalist, until it comes to arts and crafts stuff! Guilty too! I have also started to go through those things to get rid of the things I don't use or want anymore. I like that you keep your channel real, if it was all bright and shiny all the time, I think I'd get bored with it because then it would just be a performance. Thanks for sharing.
I really like that you are authentic. Thank you. The aesthetic "Instagram Perfect Workspace Award Area" is just not realistic. I've struggled with that myself. I've figured out ways to cover with curtains or drawers or doors, because sometimes, I just need clear space. But having a creative space with works in progress is not going to look unused. And that's OK. Part of the joy of creating is to be inspired by the things you are or might be using, the colors, the textures, etc. The occasional thorough cleanup and reorganization is coming at some point, and I know that, so I can let go and make my artwork. It feels good to clear out and make it ready again. Happy week to you and James. Hugs.
Truly inspiring your journey of clearing and organizing along with your sweet fairy spirit overriding it all… much aloha from Hawaii !!!
Very happy for you that you tunneled through it all and got through to the other side! Bravo to you. ❤
You give me inspiration to do art and real life like working out old boxes. Your clutter reminds me of Me!
Thanks so much for sharing!
Love and light ❤
You are a treasure! I just love organizing and sometimes I can get lost in it and then not create!! I don't have art space so it's in and out of a cupboard and that can really be an obstacle to getting to it! I need to schedule in that time to pull it all out, set up, and then how many hours to create and leave time and energy to put all back in the cupboard! At any rate, I am inspired and do appreciate your authenticity! Thank you!
That is what I love about you. You are real and that helps my real feel ok ❤
You have got to be joking. The videos that you show that you are not going that great has helped me to love myself more and not put myself down for it. You keep being true. Love you both❤
Aawwww thank you so much ✨✨🌟🌟♥️
❤😊Thank you for this and all your videos, they mean so much to me. 🤗 Don’t be embarrassed by a well used work space! I had someone say a messy desk is the sign of a cluttered mind. My response was an empty desk is the sign of an empty mind. ☺️ Love, Fran
Love your videos exactly the way they are, so keep going please! We love authenticity ❤
This is just the motivation... I needed to tackle my space. It's time for a declutter & tidy up.
Your space looks fresh & airy. I know that feels good. Love you have zones for different things.
oh go girl!! xx big loves xx zones are the best!!
