- Today we get to work on finishing up the prep for a big shop update, we then try and knuckle down as we figure out and navigate the new website and finish up by working in the city on some new business card designs while Dean has a radio interview!
I hope you enjoyed this vlog of a small business owner!
YOU DA BEST
Love,
Catherine

If you're getting a lot of shoulder strain, your desk is the wrong height, and you need to lower the desktop. Ergonomically, your arm should be at a 90 degree angle.
You're so inspiring! I started sharing my art because of you 🥰🥰🥰
Oh my goodness 🌸🥹🥹🥹 tysm! This is so encouraging! You da best!
🥰pls tell me your acc or so!
omg the squeeze the day lemons remind me of lemongrab i love it so much, so cute!
It’s been awhile since I last saw your channel (a few months). So proud of you, over the pond, about your the recognition your business has received from your local community! I remember a few years ago you talking about why you make your own products and how you want to employ and manufacture from your own town. You’re moving so strongly in that direction and I’m glad to see the council noticing. Congratulations. 🤩🎉
Btw, you look amazing and so does Dean.
Hehe oh my gosh thank you! I’m super excited to hopefully get my name out a little more locally hehhe 🌸🫶🏻🥹
Best of luck, Catherine! You’ll do great! By the way, your hair looks good, no matter the colour, ‘cause you have such a lovely face!🥰. I love your A3 lemon babies print, too…super cute!!
Hehehe oh my goodness tysm 🥹🌸🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻
That pain you're experiencing in your shoulder (and probably side of neck, maybe even in your forearm) is called Mouse Shoulder! It can be quite painful and it's usually do to the angle of your arms. Seeing that, as you said, rest up on your desk to edit with repetitive motions, that's definitely what's making your shoulder mad!
If there are any Local events like the one you mentioned I would love to hear about them. Its always fun to get together with likeminded people. I live just up the road from Seaton Carew.
Omg… 8.57 in and the building to left of you (the one that looks like a spaceship) is my office! 🥰
Aww, the lemon print is super cute! 💛 Shoulder pain is the worst. I've taught myself to work with a mouse with my left hand for admin related stuff, so my right side has a break here and there. (ps. I use L'oreal's Intensive Purple Mask once a week to reduce the yellow in my dyed hair and it works an absolute treat!)
Girl you are looking like a princess….
Have you ever thought of offering a digital calendar/planner now that you have the iPad mini so it can be formatted for smaller screens? I’ve been looking for something like that and I love your aesthetic.
Ohhh this is a great idea, thank you for this! Ill look into doing on eheheh this would be adorable!
Aww...your new hair colour looks great on here! Love the new prints too. So exciting that you're going to Greece....Ive only been once but loved it ❤️ x
Hehehe i loved it omg! A personal blog will be going on my channel! 🌸🥹🫶🏻
lift the monitor and bring it slightly closer, drop the keyboard a little and Use a Good ergonomic wrist rest!(not a cute one). And if your desk and chair won't allow these changes, you have the wrong desk and chair. Artists are the very worst for taking ergonomics seriously and making needed changes in workspaces. As an artist I tangle (and injure) myself into bits unless I force myself to use everything I learned in Occ Healh and Safety after 30 years working in database management!
The A3 prints are a good idea and look great btw.
Website design thoughts - You're a Photoshop subscriber aren't you? You may find something amongst their products - but you will have to go learn it formally - or send Mike or Dean to - that can give what you want in a website design process. You can certainly use PS itself to publish websites, but again it's not intuitive and unless you have that type of mind you will never learn it without formal training, face to face if possible.
CAFE thoughts - I'm the weird one who did commercial cookery too, amongst your subs and patreons . Unless council want to slash the terms of the cafe downstairs, don't do it. LIke I've mentioned before, it isn't suitable for a successful cafe/shop anyway, too small and not enough seating. You don't want to be taken down in the face of unreasonable council expectations. From brief footage you've shown, the cafe downstairs looks suitable only for selling take out, once properly equipped. Remember, you stand or fall on the quality of takeout coffee and food. LIke you said before you'd have to go do food production studies anyway. And that cafe is no good if you want to start a family soon, as you want to do. Chinese business people have a great approach to things, don't let your heart rule your business decisions.
As always I am riveted by what "Katnipp did next" I love seeing your journey !
Thank you for the tips on improving the computer workspace. I have been having the same problem as Catherine, so tomorrows job will be to make these adjustments to my set up. :) Have a lovely week.
Yay!🎉🎉🎉 Glad you came to fab City of Leeds @Katnipp I know this must of been such a awhile ago. 😊
I would love to hear what you use to ship your A3 prints in. That is a really big rigid mailer.
Such an inspiration and love watching your journey! Thank you so much for sharing it! Have been following your path for years and every time there is a new vlog, it makes my day! 💖
the business cards turned out so great !!!
Love the business display ideas hehe! Lovely vlog as always, I’m now very relaxed. Lots of love! 💕🌞
I feel ya about ETSY. I’m not happy with them right now either with them and working to get my website built up. So time consuming, especially when you don’t have a Mike to help.
Goodluck!!! Video is cute as always 😍😍
Love your aesthetic ❣

Is your website having issues still; I have tried numerous times to pull it up and it says coming soon…
Awe I was so excited to see you went blonde again! I really love it on you! 🥰
Would you ever consider making a vlog about how you make your vlogs? lol
Like what you always bring with you and how you edit them? I love your vlogs so much and was wanting to start vlogging my cosplay experiences at cons
heheh this is a great idea, Ill write this down for video Ideas! heheh
Hiya 🤗 love the A3 print - it’s such a lovely size to offer. I’m looking forward to seeing your display for the business event - I know it’ll look fab. Websites are hard work but once it’s all comes together it’ll be for the best 🥰 xxxx
Oh my gosh hehe tysm! Yes I hope so! The website has been a nightmare but we’re nearly done! Wahoo!
Do have plans on having t-shirts with your designs on them?
HECK YEAH! I’ve been sharing with my patreons the tshirt designs that have just arrived 🥹🌸🫶🏻😵

How exciting for you. Wow I really noticed how you have lost more weight since the last vlog. You go girl 👍
hehehe thank you so much Tracey!
Why did Etsy take down the plushie?
Deffo hold off on the cafe for a while more so when October comes and crap hits the fan fully :0
Love that print Catherine! 💛 Is that an ecotank printer? How do you find it? I'm thinking of getting one
It is yes! I bought it from Amazon I think!
Do you know if/when you'll be making another bypass update? Just booked mine for October 😳 💛
Oh my gosh this is super exciting for you! Ill be doing one in the next few weeks on my personal channel hehe
@@KatnippStudios looking forward to it. I've found your videos very helpful. Thanks for your reply 🙂
Another great video. Is there a reason you no longer use WIX?
I wanted a good solid ecommerce store! And shopify seems to win on all the reviews! Xxx
Everything about your Chanel is too cute to be true 💓
Ps: i think that the background music is a bit high 🤍
Are you saying A3? Or 83? And sorry, USA person here. Is that the paper that concert posters and such are made of? Thanks! Love your vids!
Its A3 here so we do them in A sizes heheh I hope this helps like A4 is similar to a 'Letter' size in the US xxx
Are u happy in ur new studio?
I LOVE IT 🥹🌸🫶🏻
I was waiting for you to upload heh heh! Missed you last week :)
Hehehhe thank you so much! 🥹🌸🫶🏻
Love your blonde hair color!
Tysm 🥹🌸🫶🏻
are you working ergenomic? if you do it should take away the pain, judung by the frame at 3:55, your desk is way to high
Yayyyy I’m so early! Love ya Catherine 💓💓
Hey Catherine! Would you mind increasing the size of the text at the bottom a little bit? Sometimes it’s a little hard to read, especially if I’m watching on my phone. I apologize if this comes off rude, but I thought I’d give it a shot and ask!
Do you think once you come off Etsy most people won't know you have your own website? Just wondering how you will make it known you your shoppers you have a website etc. I bet it's exciting....bit scary
I will stay on etsy and shopify to increase the organic traffic! 🌸🫶🏻🥹
@@KatnippStudios oh I see, that's good then, and I guess eventually you will be able to ditch Etsy, fingers crossed for you
Hello dahling! Try a higher chair. Looking at you in the video, the table is too high and you’re having to hold up your arms with your shoulders (and to a degree, this involves your neck, too!)
This is a good idea! Luckily this is a adjustable standing desk so I’ve adjusted it! 🌸🥹🫶🏻
I love your videos.❤️
Tysm 🥹🌸🫶🏻
❤️
I really like the blond actually, nice! :-)
The A3 size reminds me of teatowels and I think your designs would look great on teatowels. Or am I just showing my age 😬
🥹🥹🥹 omg that would be so cute!
oohh so cute! kitchen towels and oven mitts as well! along with scarves and socks! basically anything and everything! :D
Wait Dean was on the BBC an actually spoke? I think I have heard him say all of 3 sentences on the Katnipp vlogs xD
😂😂😅😅 hahaha yeah! He did a whole interview I couldn’t believe it hehehe
I love your vlogs, but I hate wix 😆. Is so very limiting when you’re a control freak that wants everything to look perfect. I use wordpress with wp bakery or with elementor to make it even more easy to edit.
Btw, you still look great even with yellow hair 😆
Build the website and Ill buy something for you.
I don’t want to buy on Etsy and let them make $ from your talents.
