damn, James can sing 😯
he loves singing so much
@@LeighEllexson It shows! Bravo James 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
@@LeighEllexson when does his album drop?
Yeah maybe singing episode when!?
James could be like your personal renaissance announcer, “singing” your new product and Patreon updates 🎤🤩
OH! MY! GOD! The voice of James!!!! He got me goosebumps! WOW! And seeing you running to the Christmas lights is soooo cute! I love your vibe!
HOLY HECK when James started singing I thought he was goofin around but woweeeee, he wasn't joking! 😂 Loved the video up to that moment, gonna watch the rest now. But it feels cozy and lovely, I love how the seasons feel on your videos. ❤
bro he sings every day like that he's an opera man
18:27 holy CRAP James I was like oh he's good! Then he kept going! Hot dog
I love that you talked about social media making you feel gross. I feel like it’s been my biggest struggle with growing as an artist. It’s such a distraction for me. With aimless scrolling or checking in constantly on something I’ve posted. It’s something I’m working on finding balance because it’s such an important tool for artists. I’m trying to stick to only having it on my work computer and tablet, so the only way I can check in is if I’m “working”.
LEIGH omg. this video. I rarely comment bc y'know
but this vlog... it was so cozy and lovely and I have to say... I just loved watching your family open gifts. I spent christmas alone this year and it actually brought me to tears (in a good way) to see a family together and laughing and bein silly.
also much love to you -- as I know you've ben going through it! Thank you for continuing to make videos and make your art!
xo
I aspire to have Josh's level of energy/zest for life, he's like a human cup of espresso, WHOO! (In a good way LOL)
he's amazing
Gus with zooms and Toadie with the grass 😭❤️
just came to my mind that it would be so cool to see a “Free🍉” illustration in your style. ✨🌱I’m worried about what’s going on and you’re video gives me comfort atm.🩷
Man in high school we had to stretch all of our canvases. That’s so crazy that you can’t find the supplies to do it easily!! Loved watching this vid Leigh!
I am so down in the dumps today. Took a break from work, then got a notification about your video. Watching it was quickest way to get me to smile today. Thanks for that a million times over Leigh
James as the squirrel in the christmas photo brings me pure joy....also, James is an amazing singer!
The plugs for the podcast have brought me back - subscribing to the patreon again
=0 can't believe they worked!!!
Watching your videos has really made me want to take more physical photos of my life and videos to have something to look at when things feel really bad. Hope this new year treats you well!
it's really, really special to do it. it keeps me on my feet honestly 💖
I had to get out of the full screen view when James started singing to find comments. Was not disappointed. It was glorious, AND FOR LASAGNA?
I love the Snoopy string lights! Keep those FOREVER. The dice are cute! 🎲 That Christmas place is crazy, holiday snacks, photo ops everywhere YES over the top Christmas decorations.
I love it when I'm listening to your videos in the background while I work and your mom's voice cuts in and my brain immediately pulls up the memory of her going '-gasp- you saw my butt!'
Also James's camera work is honestly perfect and boy got some PIPES. love the absolutely bonkers mostly abandoned christmas ranch thank you so much for sharing
OMG the outro clips were SOOO WHOLESOME!! 😭 with all the animals in it and everything.
And just to add - James! What a great singing voice. Holy!
gus v toadie’s energy on the hike had me in stitches. merry christmas, leigh. thanks for all the content, even when you’re not feeling it ❤
your vlogs are my favorite🥹 so cozy
thank you 💕🫶🥹
There's no video in which I haven't fallen for James 🧍
So about the gratification thing it’s honestly ok to feel the way you do you’re mindful of how it makes you feel and that’s ok
I LOVE THE BONNETSSSS
This video was perfection. Truly. The cozy and loving atmosphere everyone seeks out in winter. Thank you for sharing with us all. It's so nice to see more of the artist behind the whimsical art.
I grew up crocheting pretty much exclusively with a 3.5mm hook. The big fat ones with fat yarn really wasn't a thing in the 90's. You did awesome with that hat! And I LOVE the colors.
LOL Love the new wave. That's how I am saying Hi from now on.
I personally love hand-made canvases vs pre-stretched ones, but some that are not pre-gessoed are great as well! When I was an art student, we usually went to the hardware store to buy wood, quarter rounds, hardboard, etc rather than buying those stretcher bars. That way we could customize the sizes we want, but since lumber prices have gone up since then, not sure if it's worth it anymore... Hope you had a lovely christmas!!
I love the montage at the last two minutes. I could watch an entire video like that! maybe...?
I love an arty video but also looveee your general vlogs! So either is good with me 🐶🧡👍🏼
I logged out of my main instagram account for a few weeks and now I don’t hate myself anymore!!! James has such a good voice
JAMES?!!!!! THE VOICE OF AN ACTUAL ANGEL. I AM IN TEARS.
James can sing! 🤩🎶
Love the rewards Leigh ❤
He sings so well!!
Your 2023 clip compilation at the end was super cute! Love the video, as always! ❤
I really enjoyed this video, from the ranch to discovering that James has pipes and your sister telling Josh to entertain. (Josh definitely delivered LOL ) My favorite part of any video is anything that has to do with Toadie and I'm glad you definitely included that too.
opera james unlocked!!!!
James voice is phenomenal!😱💕
The bonnets are so damn cute 😭✨
this whole video felt like a warm hug!!
literally just realized that even though I have been a patron for over 2 years... I am not subscribed?? loll wattt! Loved this vid though, so lovely. And I hard relate to the social media portion. I've had to make conscious choices NOT to share new hobbies on social media because I've noticed that when people expect me to share on that topic it kind of kills my love for it. And I'll end up doing the thing to share rather than because i want to... Obviously a little different as none of those things are my job, but I feel what you said
I've been in an art slump for a couple of months, but watching your vlogs always gives me some inspiration. Thank you so much
James’ singing was amazing!! Thank you for this cozy vlog. My city is experiencing -50C weather this weekend so having this video has made the day much better! 💚
Totally understand the "it feels gross" I got myself around that feeling and back into posting by scheduling the posts for a random time the next day instead of posting them live. Then I forget about it
Wow what a voice, he can sing well. Amazing!!! Awesome video beautiful memories. 💛💛💛💛
okay.... JAMES!!! that voice is crazy and i know he was just trying to be a silly bro but, yo. so good. lol!!!
Love your freehand projects Leigh!! Very creative and honestly it’s sometimes nice to work on a project with a smaller hook!! 😊 projects that you spend a little more time on - is a vibe!!!
james singing touched my soul lol 😆 had to rewind!!
Best wishes for your business and you moving forward 🤞🏾🤍
Loved the festive vibe of the video. Rancho was a killer!
I loved the recap of your year! Your videos are always so fun, thank you for making them

Im feeling generous , but cant ever give back enough . Happy new year , may you embrace change ✨️
Your practice is so inspiring to me! I love the gentle exploration and work/life balance you seem to prioritize so well
Omg James singing 🥰 give a ❤️ if you think james can sing the music of your vlogs!, also love toadie and the snoopy lights im dying, happy new year leigh and thanks for the lovely videos ❤
This vlog was so wholesome and real. I really enjoyed it.
Love this video!!! It feels so sweet, thank you for sharing all of these special moments with us!
1 minute in and the vibes are already so good I love ur vids
I always look forward to your vlogs. Thanks for posting! ❤
Your videos have such a vibe! Your Christmas looked nice and relaxed, that's my goal for next year!
I made several Leigh inspired bonnets, and now I keep telling people 'I'm in my medieval era', so I'm really glad you mentioned looking like a knight 🗡🏰✨
Dang! Was James in a choir as a kid? He got pipes! And honestly, I’ve really enjoyed the crochet stuff you’d been into, I got no idea how to do that kinda stuff (I can sew? And that’s the mood I’m instead of drawing rn) so I get that lol we’ll draw when the mood strikes or it’s job related but let me just do my silly little hobby to feel better 💕🙌🏻 happy new year too!
hahahaha he was a choir kid
I went to ur vid and subconsciously needed my water! Ur magic is working!!
I love your videos, Leigh. I hit the like button in under 8 seconds because I just know I’m getting a quality short film from you from the outset. Also, can I add, the farm visit was 100% worth it for those Snoopy lights alone!!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Forgot to say, your mum’s adorable excitement for all the Christmas decorating 🥰🥰🥰 The door wreaths were perfection and bows were all the rage this Christmas ✨
Painter here! Most people actually make their own stretchers now! It’s SO much more cost effective. And you can build them to be sturdier and whatever size you want.
Love you Leigh! And love your vlogs! You have officially mastered the art for making the most perfect vlogs!
I get so excited when I see you've posted a new video. Thank you for sharing such good vibes, it really makes my day. 💖💖💖
Happy new year Leigh!!
Vince guaraldi trio is a favorite of mine, especially during the r holidays ☺️
Oh and the lights in the wood seemed like such a magical place…wish we had that here!
I also took a big social media break because it felt icky about it, like you said. I was always opening, closing, immediately reopening . And for me, I don't have a business through it so what was I posting and sharing so much for? lol I recently made a new profile just focused on art and I noticed that the break I took totally broke that habit of wanting to check things all the time. I hope you can slowly break that "itch" to check constantly too! It feels way more peaceful and intentional now.
mmmmm i like this review of a social media break. maybe that is in the cards for me!
Thank you Leigh for another amazingly pretty and interesting vlog, and happy new year ! Can't wait to see what you will create in 2024. Sending you lots of love
The vibrato on James’ voice! 🤯
looks like I was about the BILLIONTH person to be amazed by how cussin sick James' vibrato is.
James got skills!!
Also loveee your lifestyle-type videos, you do them very well!
Why did James EAT and leave no crumbs with that opera solo im crying
you're just so inspiring...and so creative
this is such a nice vlog. I love seeing your friends in the videos :)
Amazing video! Also I'm still shook by James' vocals!
Blick have stretching supplies 😊 (also no need to glue or staple them - they will hold together just with a mallet and canvas roll stapled on top!)
That boy can sing!!! James, I'm shocked! In a good way.
Beautiful video as always ❤ and now James is the star of the show! 😱🤩
I just started playing magic the gathering and have been adoring it :))) so happy to see you post and having fun with friends! I also went through quite a bit of a crochet kick and it’s so much fun
every painter i know stretches their own canvases!!! what the heck art stores are you going to!!! don't be discouraged!!!
I was already considering starting crochet this year as a new hobby and your Bonnets have convinced me. Throughly enjoyed this vlog ❤
I am, in fact, feeling generous
Oh my god, the CHRISTMAS RANCH. I totally forgot that place existed, it's been probably 10 years since I've been. It's incredibly chaotic and unhinged there lol
Also, James just casually dropping that he has a fully mature and round and controlled set of pipes...
Hehe the new wave
You're all so photogenic
JAMES! Wow! Loved the Christmas Ranch, I love going to crazy places like that! And your painting is beautiful!
Leigh, it's you! Happy New Year! YES to all. LOVED this video. Comforty, snuggly, warm, wiggly. So sweet! Thank you for sharing what you share. All the doggos! !!! All the best to you and yours! Cheers! and wait, What? James can sinnnnnnnnnnnnng! Wow! YOU knew, Leigh!
So wholesome✨
Woo! Love this cozy video!!! I still stretch my own canvases when I can. It's super cheap and easy if you have access to a router. My folks have one, so when I visit I try to make stuff. Otherwise I'll stretch canvas over a pre-made panel! It is more expensive but I love the look and feel :)
Love long videos from you!
james slayed. also lovely lovely video
The very relatable "I started crocheting and i felt the smallest amount of resistance so now im just throwing my yarn on the floor" at 6:09
me every time
