In my personal opinion about the notepads; I think making them cheaper and smaller would be better. Maybe you could one day look into notebooks and make those higher quality paper and bigger? At least personally I use notepads as discardable, so i don't want to spend much money on them. Also thinner paper and smaller size means they are easier to carry around and take notes in on the fly But that is just my personal opinion. Either way I'm sure the pads will turn out looking cute
I agree. As an artist I understand not wanting to squish the art on a smaller pad, but at the same time, such a large pad is excessive and honestly not worth the price you have to pay for Bailey to make a decent profit. The mid-size ones she makes are pretty much perfect.
Baylee, the pilling happens on acrylic/polyester. If they were cotton, or a mix with mostly cotton, they wouldn't pill, with wear or washing. Only thing is, I'd expect they'd cost more x Nell
Wow, that built in storage unit is SO nice!! I’m extremely impressed by Christian and his father and their ability to make something like that. Not only that but HOLES to adjust the shelves?!? Does Christians dad have any sort of background in carpentry/wood work/furniture work? I look forward to seeing what you guys store in there.
I think it would be cute if you did a full planner book for the beginning of the year. I would love to see something that has stickers in it, a page to take notes, then dividers separating the months. To have something custom made like that with your art with a cute theme I would pay good money for. I also think it would be cute to making coloring books of your art.
Instead of getting rid of the rulling on your notepads, have you thought of a dotted grid that's commonly used in bullet journaling? Easy way to keep you writing straight without having ruling it also offers more opportunity for blocking off sections of the background and having neat layouts.
I just wanted to echo another comment I saw below about notepad size. As cute as the larger ones are, the quarter page with the lines (like the witch hat one) feels a lot more practical and like the type of notepads I gnerally use since it doesn't take up too much space and is easy to carry around. That's just my two cents though and I know they'll look amazing no matter what size you choose!
Hi Baylee. Just a little info on the material. It's piling because of the type of fabric. It should be cotton/polyester. The polyester is lower in price, but it always starts piling. It might be a little bit $$ but so worth it. Cotton/polyester should stop that. I hope this info is helpful for u 😊.
Combo 2 would make a cute patch/ embroidered pin. I used to make patches on the felt rectangles they sell at craft stores. Not sure if it would be cost effective, but another thing that would be cute is have the stem be made of thick nylon cord so the strawberry could swing around
I think you should go with the non pilling ones! Personally I find that clothes that pill tend to be lower quality or of acrylic/polyester (plastic), and definitely don’t feel nice after a while. Maybe have a look at gildan if you haven’t already? (I don’t know if you have sorry lol) I have a few blank cotton sweaters from them and their colour selection is decently wide
You also need to work on new designs for Christmas and fall…. So you are not scrambling last minute. Unless your fall and holiday focus will be embroidery items. ❤
I would be so happy if you chose the thin zip up hoodie option. As someone who lives in a hot climate, the pullover sweaters aren’t really an option for me as I’d wear them maybe 3 days a year whereas zip ups I can wear a bit more. If it was a thinner material I could wear it waaaay more too! I really want to order one of your embroidery designs and that might be the only way I can justify buying it
In my opinion, the combo you used on the weekly planner pad was my least favourite one 😅. It's just that the leaves were placed together a bit awkwardly ... if I were you I would at least place one of the flowers on top of the area where the leaves meet. That way it would cover up the transition between the two and make it look more seamless ❤
Working from home my fur kids love to help me..I work designing for garment from over 30 years for shirts/ sweats I have swatch cards with actual shirts from the all the manufacturers. Websites are terrible for color matching. We have industry shows called Impressions shows, check to see if you can attend. Love wearing Gilman soft style and Bella are nice (run Small). Almost all sweatshirts will pill over time.
Not sure what you intend on storing in the freezer but if you plan on using it to stock up on anything I'd suggest looking into a sensor with an alert that connects to your phone if the temp gets below a certain level. I watch this homesteader on RUclips who just lost a whole tall standing freezer full of food because the door didn't close all the way. Yikes.
as a eu small business enthiousiast i love when i can instantly regonize a size (regarding the notepads) i know im gonn alike A5 and A6 and i wont go smaller than something square thats bigger than a post it but with those i always have to grab my ruler and i just know what A6/A5 is gonna look like
I can’t wait to order some of the strawberry merch, and a sweater; can’t decide between zip or no zip. The storage unit is awesome, the customization makes it perfect, kudos to Ch and G! And your flowers are lovely, glad they are doing well. 🙂
Hey, so about the zip-up hoodie that you were wearing at the beginning of this vlog, I can't be 100% certain, but I think my small game studio ordered the very same model with our* logo embroidered (AFX90UNZ) and basically all I wanted to say is it took embroidery perfectly and I've personally been wearing mine for months (large size) and the pilling really isn't that prevalent on mine so yeah, I'd say don't dismiss this zip-up hoodie too quickly! It's one of my most comfy zip-ups and I wear it all the time so I'm sure your buyers would love it too! :)
I love the bigger size notepad! Will it be strawberries? Oh please let it be strawberries! I have the duckies notepad and bigger would be better! The strawberry washi tape is going to be so darn cute!
@@angellinafosse1936 It's going fine. I have them in an attire week. one thing to remember with so many cats is that it takes an hour to feed and shovel litter boxes
It's definitely too late yo suggest anything but adding something like a sliced open strawberry could be cute. Although these are leaning more like natural and unpicked strawberries.
About 6 years ago I bought a zip up hoodie from wish, bright orange with the design ironed on. I've washed it, stained it and shaved the pilling over and over again and the color still hasn't faded. The brand name licensed merch I've seen on others have faded, became really thin and loose their shape. Long story short, pilling may not be that bad if color and quality last Just my humble opinion 🤗
None of my Gildan sweatshirts pill, and they're amazing quality! But they are pricy because of that. I wonder if that might be an option down the line?
On the calendar desk pad, I am a bit bother by how the right corner graphic feels like it’s pointing away rather that pointing in. Is there anyway you could flip it and see how you like it?
Love the strawberry set, Baylee!!! Love the pink sweaters but I’m a girl!!! Lol!!! Good choices!!!! Good look on all of your garage projects!!! ♥️♥️🌺🌺🥰🥰
Had family over when I was watching this while we were helping with a sale and they made a comment on how it looked like two berries without the twig. I am so sorry x_x because now that's always going to be in my mind when I see that. Maybe add a third strawberry to break it up?
I honestly love ur vids and u packing orders vids but I have to be the most unlucky person cause I ordered ur book on Amazon and I waited 1 year and literally it never came and Amazon did not say anything so yeah 😂lol btw pink looks really good on u ❤
Omg that is way too long to wait! You should have contacted them a week after expected delivery. They're pretty good about issuing replacements or refunding, assuming the tracking shows it was never delivered.
For the notepads, the strawberries that dangle furthest down look a little like church bells. My personal taste would be the version where they are a little higher up. Overall, they look great. 🍓
i got a text message today that there's suspicious activity on my bank account and it's about to be shut down - from a bank i've never had an account at. nice try, scammer
60 is too thick, I can’t even process that 😖 I think that I would go with a 32, maybe a 40. But I honestly didn’t even know that they would do 60. I always thought that it would be too thick for the glue to hold, but your notepads don’t ever look bulky. 🤔
60lb text, not 60lb cover. It's standard from nearly all notepad suppliers I've looked at. It should be similar to my Witch Hat notepads, and all my square planner pads.
@@BayleeJae huh, I’ve never seen 60 lb text, only 80 or 100. Of course, the print center that I used to work at didn’t have any paper half the time. I did forget about text stock vs cover 😅.
Baylee, sure you’ve been slacking. It’s not like you researched and learned all about a new “art” medium, invested in it, took lessons, and have been figuring it all out or anything along with all the shop updates and other things like setting up/transferring everything to RUclips for live-streaming. 🤔 Don’t short yourself you’ve been doing a lot business-wise, it’s just at the start of a new adventure you haven’t made it up the trail far enough to look back at how far you’ve come yet.
Holding cat on back is cute but very dangerous if you plan on having a child in future as the cat may decide to lay over baby and suffocate. It's a real thing
Angi lives in Texas. Angi orders from Baylee in Canada. Merch... go from Texas to Canada, from Canada to Texas. Lol Although you cannot get your preferred colors, you should probably order zip-ups from same company as the goodies. Since you prefer the quality of those.

Yes I was feeling the same
Agreed. Quarter page is nice size and 5x7 is nearing too big

I’d rather buy cotton personally, and don’t mind paying for quality! Cotton breathes too. Polyester makes me sweat and stink.
Yeah, I prefer cotton over polyester...

You could do dots in the middle instead of lines. The dots could be tiny strawberry seeds 🍓

As crazy as it sounds, if you have green olives in a jar, put a bit of the juice on a plate for your cat. It's like catnip and they go nuts for it!
i do it sometimes but its sooo much salt
I think you should go for the sweaters that have the least amount of pilling ... that's a pet peeve in my opinion at least ...
I honestly would love a black strawberry hoodie!

I've been watching these trying to catch up and I got so excited when I saw you grew raspberries 😂
Kiki being silly! ❤ Midna being stiff when picked up. My cat’s the same. ❤😂
omg i’m a horrible fan how did i miss 2 months of vlogs welp time to binge videos

Your videos motivate me so much even if it's just a regular homey vlog

I use hairspray con the sides of my sweaters every time I wash them and it helps reduce peeling by quiet a bit.
I like the non dangling strawberries and smaller is easier to carry around 😁

oh god, i love the stawbs pattern, i'm going to go broke over this collection
7:07 his smile is so sweet haha
Show of hands for CH as Baylee’s permanent shirt model? ✋🏽 🤚🏽
😜
Would you ever do notepads with a magnet on the back? I love them for on my fridge and grocery lists.
Midna & Kiki are so cute 💜❤️
THAT NOTEPAD DESIGN❤
Love the vlog. The short sample made me think you could make a one off pair eith a giant strawberry embroidered on esch butt cheek of the shorts
Thank you for testing the pilling! 🙌 3:15
I like the dangling berries... NOT because of that :P but because it looks like how mistletoe hangs in a doorway
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I love the bigger size notepad! Will it be strawberries? Oh please let it be strawberries! I have the duckies notepad and bigger would be better! The strawberry washi tape is going to be so darn cute!
hello from Denmark and I love to see what you are up to. I look after 21 cats for one of my friends for a week, 8 adult cats and the rest are kittens
Wow that’s a lot of cats, how did that go?
@@angellinafosse1936 It's going fine. I have them in an attire week. one thing to remember with so many cats is that it takes an hour to feed and shovel litter boxes
My cat does the same with the diamonds painting
aww kiki in da window, and she said dat wasnt me mommaz, dat was midna, wow i love your ideas so awesome!!
Midna is such a cute troublemaker 😻
You might not love your sweater but Kiki is loving it 😂
midna is a cat in a cat cafe when they see food
That gives me memories of Kiki doing that to one of your diamond art like biting the diamonds and lick the sticky bits
aww i love kiki hour, and she said you not supposed to work you supposed to pet me til your arm falls off mommz
I think that the half sheet note pads would be to big for my preference. The 5x7 seem a better size.
Midna being a naughty baby!! = Life
Midna is hilarious lol. I have a plump torti (my heart cat) that's very similar in personality ❤
It's definitely too late yo suggest anything but adding something like a sliced open strawberry could be cute. Although these are leaning more like natural and unpicked strawberries.
maybe reddit has a sollution to the alerts as well?
lol midna wants to be all shiny and covered in diamonds!

Bigger notepads are also handy to have around though, I don’t know… I like all the sizes? 🤔😂

For the notepads I wish the lines were a lighter color so it's easier to see my writing

A cracked screen AND a forced shutdown?? Damn Baylee, it really must be time to get a new phone 😉

The ones I tested ARE from the same company. They make several different zip ups, but not one that matches the other sweater types.
