I’ve said this before on your Instagram, but I’ve have been watching your channel for about 9-10 years now, and seeing how far you have come with your family and brand has been nothing short of wonderful! You were the reason I got into Monster High dolls back in 2015-2016ish (which was also around the time I started my own YT channel! The dolls I bought after watching your own vids can even be seen in my earlier video backgrounds XD) and I have seen many content creators come and go in that span of time. In short, it’s so wonderful to see you doing well! You have a beautiful family!
OMG I DIDN’T EXPECT TO SEE YOU HERE BUT THAT’S SO CUTE TBH…. I hope she has a better life and I would like that when she comes back, it’s nice and cute :)
Please take your time and come back when you feel ready! Your videos have such rewatchability that what you have uploaded up until this point could keep me satiated forever lol.
So sorry to hear about the studio! But I'm so glad that everything else is going well!! It's so good to hear that your new baby is happy and healthy, and I hope owning your own home is everything you want it to be!! 🩷
I was 12 when i first started watching you! And now im gonna be 20 in a month! Your channel has truly inspired my art and my own doll customs! I can only hope that 2025 will be a wonderful year for you and your family! Thank you for your dedication to this channel, it will forever be a source of inspiration to me! :')
saw u uploaded and actually freaked out i love u so much i missed you, im 22 now but ive watched your videos since i was a little girl and youve always inspired me and my own art. im so happy for you and your lovely family dolly!!!!! 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
@mushroom-beans me too! im 22 and i've been watching her since i was 13! Cora the mermaid is probably my favorite doll of hers for nostalgic reasons :')
Me too! I’m 22 now as well and have been watching her since I was 15 I think. I even have my own toddler. I don’t remember what my first video of her’s was but she got me into customizing dolls for a little while, then back into drawing! She deserves so much and I’m glad she has her own house!
Congratulations! House, baby, return, everything! It will get easier to balance as babies get older and more self sufficient. So glad to have you back. Your sunny attitude and creativity are part of my anti-drepression routine, lol.
Hey, take your time coming back. Having a baby, a toddler, AND moving houses is a lot of time and work. I, and I'm sure many others in the community, will understand if we have to wait a bit longer for a new doll and video. Congrats on the new home and your growing family!
It's good to see you back! Your family picture is adorable!! I'm so glad that despite the lost studio, you bought a WHOLE HOUSE!!! You'll get back into the swing of things, and if you don't, that's ok too!! Remember to not put pressure on yourself coming back. I'll wait years to see your videos!!!
Man, when you said the studio is gone I was actually worried for a second! Please please please take all the time you need, we'll be waiting for you! Also congrats on being a homeowner
@@Dollightful I worried for a second you had a fire, earthquake or tsunami or something. Glad to hear it’s more mundane and positive from a certain perspective.
God i love how you seem to look at life. Moving is stressful, being a mom is stressful (rewarding and beautiful as well, of course, i love children), and losing something you worked for is stressful. I adore the way you look at adversity and hope i can carry that same energy! Also super excited to see what you put forth for 2025! Excited about the Halloween doll!
Like technically she has done a rainbow series of dolls and she has done rainbow but she's never done like a doll for each color of the rainbow it's always been characters who had the whole entire rainbow in their design so I can't wait to see what doll she makes for the rainbow series
Oh my gosh, your sons curls are so cute. Your kids absolutely come first, so dont worry. We know every doll you pop out with be nothing short of a work of art, so focus on you and your happiness first, we'll be here.
I was worried about you guys! There was martial law in December in South Korea. I believe it ended recently. It sounded scary in the news articles I read. Hopefully, it didn't affect you guys negatively at all. Glad to know you guys are back!💖
Welcome back! Congrats on your growing family and the house! I'm sorry to hear about the studio, but don't be embarrassed. Sometimes life just takes turns we don't expect is all. And don't worry, we'll see you when you're good and ready and not a second before. Family comes first!
I have just remembered and been reintroduced to ur channel from the deep crevices of my mind and let me tell u... I DIDNT REILIZE HOW MUCH I MISS YOUR CHANNEL SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!! You were ( and still are) a MASSIVE inspiration for me and u were the one who really inspired me to make art. Thank you ❤❤❤❤
You find the balance I love your contact. You’ve been such a blessing and me and my nieces life. She loves watching how you make the dolls. We had to tell her a couple times to not do it to her own dolls, but we love seeing your creativity and I want you to have that balance of wanting to do this for fun instead of just for work Thank you for all the content you did and I hope you find a good balance this year and happy new year
I am so pleased to hear you and your niece enjoy my channel. Sorry if I tempted her to destroy her dolls, haha. You are quite right-- even though this has become my job, the FUN must come first and foremost! 😀💕🌈
I love cryptids so I’ll be happy with anything. Mothdoll is very likely given its human-like shape BUT wouldn’t nessie be so cute? She could have tire bracelets!
After years of watching your videos I finally financially was cabale of making my first customer doll and lots of my techniques came from you. I’m beyond excited to see more of your creations and techniques so I can make pieces that I can love just as much as you love yours!
Aaah! It made me so happy to see a notification from this channel. I have literally been watching your creative journey since I was about 16, now I´m 24 and married and I get some kind of sisterhood pride in knowing how your family has grown! I can´t wait to see more of your content, but take your time, and prioritize your family! we will love you nonetheless :3
I should say that I grew up so much since I first watched you. I’m glad you get to grow at possibly a faster rate than most of us. We’re proud of you no matter when or how often u post. We’re lichrally ur children to some extent!
So glad you and babylightful 2 had a safe delivery and congrats on the new house! We love your content but don't drain yourself! We've been here a while, most off us and we don't mind you taking time to be with your family! Supper excited for all the dolls to come and especially excited for the cryptid doll!
The studio is a blessing in disguise, probably. If you've bought a home and have enough room for a studio there, that means you'll spend less money on overhead in the long run! Most excellent indeed. Personally, I hope to see you do more dolls with historical Korean aesthetics in the future! There aren't many doll customizers who have prominent Korean influences. (and I'm a sucker for historical fashion, what can I say.) Looking forward to the rainbow dolls!
RIP to all the avocados no longer possible, but congrats on the millennial dream of home ownership! So happy you'll have your own space the way you want it literally close to home, and that the kids are doing well and everyone's happy! Look forward to your 2025 videos!
I know how stressful (but exciting) setting up a new house can be, and I'm also glad that you'll be sharing new dolls with us soon! I love re-watching your videos while I crochet, it really got me back into crafting after I hurt my wrist last year and had to take a break.
I’m so glad your baby’s happy and healthy, and that both your maternity leave and move went well! I’m very excited for the rainbow series, as well as the holiday dolls! I can tell you’re excited too! Welcome back, and be sure to take your time!🩷🧡💛💚🩵💜
Omg I have been watching your channel for years I’m so happy for you with being a mom of two and a new homeowner! Wishing you a great year/life, take all the time you need!🤗🤗🤗
Maybe with the rainbow dolls each one could have a different expression/personality and each one could explore a different type of fashion (or be from different climates). You could have a complementary accent color for the eyes like you did for the pink doll, and maybe also do black and white?
NOTHING is more important than the health and happiness of you and your family!!! ❤ Don't ever feel like you need to put work first - you have so many incredible videos and series that we can watch over and over again and never get bored. We will be here when you're ready, and it makes my heart so happy to hear you and your babies are doing well!! Make that new home yours 💞
it's so crazy to look back on the videos you found her on, just for them to be 5+ years old. It's certainly been some delightful years with you, welcome back!
Omg!! I was wondering what you've been up to!! That's so amazing to hear!! Like you said, just gotta roll with the punches, I'm so excited for this year's dolls! You always have such brilliant design ideas! And the interactivity on Instagram is so fun! Welcome back Dollightful!!! ♡♡♡ here's to a brand new year!
Welcome back! I've been rewatching your videos over over a month now! I'm sorry you had to give up the studio, but you got to do what's best for you and your growing family. Congratulations on buying your first house! It'll be exciting to see what you come up with in your new home! Glad to see that the 'Lightful family is doing well, too!
I've been a long time subscriber since childhood (now 20) and I just want to say i'm so glad to see you back! I have missed your videos and bright colorful content SO MUCH!! I look forward to your new doll videos and they even give me inspo on my own artwork. Such a lovely and beautiful family, your leave was understandable and well worth the wait
I discovered your videos when I was about nine years old and I’ll be turning eighteen this year. It’s been a joy to watch your channel grow, and I want you to know that your really are wonderful! You take your time in returning, your videos have great rewatch-ability! We’re excited to have you back! 🩵
Congratulations on the new baby!! So glad you and baby are happy and healthy, and congratulations on the house move!! Yours is one of the few channels I always actively wait for notifications of new videos, so definitely looking forward to the new series of dolls this year!! Great to have you back, but please do always take time for your family first!! ^-^
katherine, it’s genuinely so wonderful to see you again! i’m glad famlightful is doing great! can’t wait to see your creative and beautiful work again 💞
If I'm being honest, your channel is one of those that I watch whenever a video is recommended to me. I recently have been relying on the notifications tab on youtube because a lot of the channel I've been subscribed to just haven't been recommended to me. That's how I was able to catch this video and makes sense why I haven't seen a video of yours in so long! That being said, I'm glad you're back! Your content is a much needed de-stressor to a lot of the other high energy and chaotic content I usually watch. I love just being able to sit back and relax to a video. Congrats on the new house and baby! That must be super exciting!
Congratulations on Babylightful 2! I’ve been watching your content for a long time now, and it’s always such a comfort for me. I actually tried customizing a doll recently because I was so inspired by your work! Thank you for what you do!!
Welcome back!! Honestly, to hear you doing well has brought me so much joy and comfort. I've been subscribed to you since I was little girl and watched you, I'm going to be 18 in a few months, and you've been such a big inspiration for me and my art journey. It's even made me dabble in a little doll customization, and I even made a monster high oc purely so I can create her as a doll :) I've rewatched your vids hundreds of times and they have never gotten old. I adore your humor and watching your creative ups and downs, and overall, it's just very inspiring. I'm just really happy to hear that you're doing well and found a place where you truly feel comfortable. Pls take it easy and hope that you and your family have an amazing year
I am glad that you and your family have a place to call yours now. May the Childightfuls have the whimsy that their parents have and plenty of opportunities to cultivate it. I hope the highly requested cryptid gets some inspiration from how the flubs that you had saying it. CAN'T wait for the rainbow series to be uploaded. May the blue one have a bit of a mysticism flare to it.
Yay!!! Thank you for the update. I have been watching your channel for years and I hope to be watching it for many more!! So please always take all the time you need ❤ Thank you once again for all that you do ❤ Congratulations on the new baby 🎉 Glad to see you all looking good happy and healthy ❤
So the studio didn't work out... that's OK. You now have a HOUSE! And such a beautiful family!! Things will level out, and your routine will settle into a more natural rhythm. Take your time. We will be here. ❤
Very unfortunate to hear about the studio but I’m still so so happy to see you returning!! You’ve been one of my biggest inspirations with doll customs and probably one of the first I started watching on a consistent basis before I was even old enough to safely make dolls on my own lol! Anytime I’d get sick or just bored I’d put on your playlist of all your dolls at the time and just let it play in the background for some calming entertainment, so I just want to say how grateful I am to still be here seeing you post and even see your family grow, and I hope you know that whether you post monthly or just a few times a year seeing a new video absolutely makes my day and I immediately run to my friends like OMG NEW DOLLIGHTFUL JUST DROPPED!!! I’m sure RUclips and parenthood is its own fun little juggle but here’s to more dolls and creative freedom this year!!
Welcome back, and congratulations on the house and healthy baby! We've missed you, but we're happy that you're taking care of yourself! That takes priority! My mum and I watch your videos together, we're always discussing our favourite parts and stuff! It's become such a tradition, I can't get away with watching them with my friends first, haha!
Oh my gosh, welcome back! Im so excited to see the new line of dolls and I love the Rainbow Doll/Candy idea! You could totally make your dolls look like candy or something along those lines!
As much as I love the current channel banner, I'd definitely love to see you draw a new one in a 'sketch with me' style video. You've made so many cool characters that would be great to see!
So good to have you back! Losing the studio is sad, but I hope having a workspace in your own home at least makes finding that work-life balance easier in some way and that you can find that balance soon! Not just because I'm very eager to see new videos from you 😄
It's great to have an update!! I'm very excited about the Rainbow series!! And of course the Halloween and Christmas dolls! It's been a joy to follow you on your journey of balancing your RUclips life and being a mother!
I’m so glad you posted this video. I follow you on Instagram and saw that you had your second baby, which was amazing and absolutely gorgeous. As mom myself who has both a soap, company and a sewing business plus working full-time and taking care of my home my family doing grocery shopping cooking cleaning, etc. I know exactly where you coming from. For the longest time I had dreamed for a studio and when that finally came to fruition right before 2020 it was wonderful and as you know during the quarantine, I ended up not being able to fulfill my rental agreement. So surprise, surprise I ended up having to give it up. So I know exactly where you’re coming from. I’m just glad that you look amazing and you look happy and your kids are beautiful. I’m so happy that your parents came and stayed for a few months to help you. I look forward to many videos from you.❤❤❤
Gosh, some things are just out of our control, aren't they? I am sorry you also had to give up on your studio. That timing was unfortunate. It sounds like you are one hard working Mama!! 💪I found your story inspiring!!
Welcome back! I've missed your videos a ton. They were always such a great safe place for me to wind down and just enjoy life. But I'm so happy to hear of how your life has changed too! New mommy life, new home life, new work life and new just you life. I believe in you and wish you so much luck and love for this new year. You got this!
@ I didn’t say we all didn’t. I just spoke for myself. And the new people couldn’t have missed her. I get where you’re coming from but it’s unnecessary
Can't wait, girl!! I genuinely can't believe it's been almost a decade since you started. I originally subbed on my private account, allllllll the way back then. Also love how much of a perfect blend your oldest kiddo is of you and your hubby, adorable
I have missed your videos! Your voice is so soothing!! I'm glad you found a new home for your family!! Can't wait for new content. Take it easy though! We all understand life happens, so take breaks when you need them. We love you!
Welcome back Dollightful, & congrats on your second baby! I am glad you got a house, though I am sorry about the studio. Changes can be scary but sometimes it can be an adventure. With your kids in your life, it makes me want to sketch a Family-Lightful. Happy New Year Dollightful.
Gave a lil "Eee!" squeal seeing the absolute cuteness that is your sweet toddler! 🥺 The curls with those eyes! 💕 And that wittle jellybean your dad was holding! The excitement I felt at hearing "Rainbow" series, gives me another thing to really look forward to, ya know? Especially *YELLOW*!! 💛
Good to see you back! Glad you and the family are doing well. Sorry to hear about the studio but I think the sacrifice is well worth it for the actual house, plus when you take breaks from working you can simply go to the next room and be with your family. Having a house and being able to customize your living space can be very cathartic. If you feel comfortable with sharing some of those customizations, that would be so cool!
I just saw people say how long they have been watching you so I went back and checked and I started seeing your work around 8 years ago🤯 you are my favorite doll creator and also one of my favorite artists, please take your time and come back when everything is ready! It will be worth the wait, it always is😊
welcome back!! I started watching your videos when I was much younger and now I'm about to turn eighteen. channels like yours and myfroggystuff have retained my love for art for years and its so cool to look at how life progresses, as this is a transitional period for the both of us in different ways. thank you for inspiring me to pursue art. much love to you and your family!!
hey katherine! i've been watching your videos since i was 12 and now i'm in college!! your channel has truly inspired my art and i can only hope that 2025 will be a wonderful year for you and your family! thank you for your dedication to this channel, it will forever be a source of inspiration to me!!
Congratulations on the baby and the house! I had my own first child in 2024 and can totally understand the pull between doing something you enjoy just for you and spending time with your babies! I'm excited to see you come back to your channel and customization with the enthusiasm that you had pre 2024!!
Ahhh im so excited!!!! Welcome back Kathrine! Congrats on the baby and new house!! Omg such big things for you! I've missed seeing your videos and your creative brain in action! Really looking forward to your future projects!! I hope 2025 is a brilliant year for you!!
We'll be waiting for you and the rest of your series! I been bingewatching the Stock box series again since its my favorite of all your projects. Congratulations to your new house and baby!
welcome back! I cant wait for the rainbow dolls!!! if you ever have the time/space/energy id love to see another doll tour video this year like you did at the end of 2018! i think it would be cool to see how far your customizing has come, and i think it'd be cool for the newer fans too!!
It's awesome to hear that your back! I usually toss one of your videos on on my second monitor whenever I'm working for background noise, so its great to hear your getting back into the groove of content creation *insert jazz hands* lol. Take as much time as you need and we'll be eager to see any of the newer dolls you have on store for us :)
Congratulations on the house!! I'm so happy to hear you've been well! I'm so excited to see what you come out with next! Please remember to take however much time you need and not to worry about putting out videos too often if it becomes less manageable. We all support you and don't want you to get too stressed, so don't push yourself too hard if it turns out you can't fully make these commitments! Love your art and your videos!!
I’m so excited to see you back! I’m glad to hear your babies are doing well and that you got to spend some time with your parents and just enjoy being a family without having to stress about videos! But I’m also very excited to see all the new dolls you bring us this year!! Especially the Halloween doll! Your Halloween customs always blow me away!
So nice to see you! Congratulations on the new baby and the new house! Thanks for being vulnerable and sharing how you felt about losing the studio. No need to feel embarrassed. Now you have your own home with a studio inside. You should be super proud of yourself and I can’t wait for the tour! ❤❤❤
I used to watch your channel when I was younger,cool to see it randomly pop up in my recommendations after how many years Hope you have a good day,take as much time as you need,creating is all about having fun
I’m super close to my due date with my baby #2 and am so so excited to be watching your videos this year in a similar chapter! It’ll also be a nice breastfeeding companion, something that I cherished with my last kiddo. Can’t wait to see all of your rainbow dolls (and energy!) back this year. Congratulations on your busyness and your new home ❤
as someone who's been watching since the repainting unicorno days, it's so cool to see how much you've grown as a person!! two babies AND home ownership is so awesome, im really happy for you!! it's a shame about the studio, but i guess that's just life sometimes, very excited for this upcoming year to see your art!!
So happy to hear you're all happy and healthy! Congratulations on the house and your baby! I look forward to seeing what you create this year and remember to take your time. Your creativity is an inspiration to so many!
My daughter and I are so excited you are back. We understand the struggle of the first studio we had a candle studio for a bit. ❤ we love and support you. Be kind to yourself and thank you for sharing your life with us. What a beautiful family!❤
Ahhhh! Omg it’s gonna be a jam packed year! We cannot wait and congratulations on your new baby and house!! ❤❤❤
مرحبا @HeXtian اتابعك من العراق🌴
Love how tiny and warm and supportive this lil doll customization community is
Hextiann!! 😊 I miss your videoss so much, Could you .... Do a collab with her (if you want?)
Omg Hextian I love your videos
@albamarquesfores6290 I think they have multiple times before but that also included other artist as well, I could be wrong though.
I’ve said this before on your Instagram, but I’ve have been watching your channel for about 9-10 years now, and seeing how far you have come with your family and brand has been nothing short of wonderful!

Please take your time and come back when you feel ready! Your videos have such rewatchability that what you have uploaded up until this point could keep me satiated forever lol.
Same
I agree, I can’t count how many times I’ve watched her unicorn custom
this is so true. me if rewatching dollightful videos was a job 💰💰💰💰💸💸💸
Yes
Same! I rewatch them all the time.
1:24 "home ownership, every millennial's dream." Hehe funny
Also sad.
So sorry to hear about the studio! But I'm so glad that everything else is going well!! It's so good to hear that your new baby is happy and healthy, and I hope owning your own home is everything you want it to be!! 🩷

My first vid of hers was the orange and white mermaid! That was 7 years ago😱 I’m turning 25 soon and I’ve been following her since highschool!!
I’m in the same boat! Watching her channel grow has been amazing! I’m so happy for the life she has cultivated!
@mushroom-beans me too! im 22 and i've been watching her since i was 13! Cora the mermaid is probably my favorite doll of hers for nostalgic reasons :')
Wow, so many of us here, I'm 24 now and have been watching her videos since Nebula was the newest doll? Somewhere around there
Me too! I’m 22 now as well and have been watching her since I was 15 I think. I even have my own toddler. I don’t remember what my first video of her’s was but she got me into customizing dolls for a little while, then back into drawing! She deserves so much and I’m glad she has her own house!
Congratulations! House, baby, return, everything! It will get easier to balance as babies get older and more self sufficient. So glad to have you back. Your sunny attitude and creativity are part of my anti-drepression routine, lol.
Hey, take your time coming back. Having a baby, a toddler, AND moving houses is a lot of time and work. I, and I'm sure many others in the community, will understand if we have to wait a bit longer for a new doll and video.
Congrats on the new home and your growing family!
It's good to see you back! Your family picture is adorable!! I'm so glad that despite the lost studio, you bought a WHOLE HOUSE!!! You'll get back into the swing of things, and if you don't, that's ok too!! Remember to not put pressure on yourself coming back. I'll wait years to see your videos!!!
Man, when you said the studio is gone I was actually worried for a second! Please please please take all the time you need, we'll be waiting for you! Also congrats on being a homeowner
Lolol with every move, I find Verna in her box again and I'm like... oh yeah! I have a BJD 😆
Thank you so much for the kind words!!
@@Dollightful I worried for a second you had a fire, earthquake or tsunami or something. Glad to hear it’s more mundane and positive from a certain perspective.
me too, everyone has been losing everything in the LA fires and even though i know she's in Korea i was still terrified for a second
@@mondenkindqueenoh goodness, I should have worded that differently in retrospect. Yes, we gave up the studio for (thankfully) mundane reasons.
God i love how you seem to look at life. Moving is stressful, being a mom is stressful (rewarding and beautiful as well, of course, i love children), and losing something you worked for is stressful. I adore the way you look at adversity and hope i can carry that same energy!
Also super excited to see what you put forth for 2025! Excited about the Halloween doll!
Omg what a happy surprise!! Hi and congratulations on the baby!! 🎉🎉
Oh wow, the "RAINBOW SERIES" sounds AMAZING, I can't wait!
Surprised she hasn’t tbh
I’m excited 😁🌈
I didn’t know that she was having another baby
Like technically she has done a rainbow series of dolls and she has done rainbow but she's never done like a doll for each color of the rainbow it's always been characters who had the whole entire rainbow in their design so I can't wait to see what doll she makes for the rainbow series
@@a.t.trujillo9970 stop, I'm so exited!!
Yay! It’s great to see you and your family growing, happy and thriving. Congratulations on the ✨home ownership✨. 안녕!
Oh my gosh, your sons curls are so cute. Your kids absolutely come first, so dont worry. We know every doll you pop out with be nothing short of a work of art, so focus on you and your happiness first, we'll be here.
I was worried about you guys! There was martial law in December in South Korea. I believe it ended recently. It sounded scary in the news articles I read. Hopefully, it didn't affect you guys negatively at all. Glad to know you guys are back!💖
Welcome back! Congrats on your growing family and the house! I'm sorry to hear about the studio, but don't be embarrassed. Sometimes life just takes turns we don't expect is all. And don't worry, we'll see you when you're good and ready and not a second before. Family comes first!
So glad you see that you’re back! Please take all the time you need easing into things ☺️
I was JUST looking to see if you had something new! What timing.
same! it’s like every time a youtuber takes a break everyone can like, sense when they’re about to come back, like an energy through the air lol
Bro me too
I have just remembered and been reintroduced to ur channel from the deep crevices of my mind and let me tell u... I DIDNT REILIZE HOW MUCH I MISS YOUR CHANNEL SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!! You were ( and still are) a MASSIVE inspiration for me and u were the one who really inspired me to make art. Thank you ❤❤❤❤
Welcome back! Glad babylightful, toddlerlightful, hubbylightful and You are all doing very well! Congratulations on both baby and moving! ❤🎉
Don't forget kittylightfuls!
And new houselightful!
You find the balance I love your contact. You’ve been such a blessing and me and my nieces life. She loves watching how you make the dolls. We had to tell her a couple times to not do it to her own dolls, but we love seeing your creativity and I want you to have that balance of wanting to do this for fun instead of just for work Thank you for all the content you did and I hope you find a good balance this year and happy new year
I am so pleased to hear you and your niece enjoy my channel. Sorry if I tempted her to destroy her dolls, haha. You are quite right-- even though this has become my job, the FUN must come first and foremost! 😀💕🌈
2:38 i cant belive were finally getting a mothman doll /j /silly
as much as I know I'll love any spooky cryptid doll, this is the one I'd love to see! If not this year, maybe a future halloween doll 😊
i want to believe
Literally I was like "mothman Mothman MOTHMAN"
I love cryptids so I’ll be happy with anything. Mothdoll is very likely given its human-like shape BUT wouldn’t nessie be so cute? She could have tire bracelets!
After years of watching your videos I finally financially was cabale of making my first customer doll and lots of my techniques came from you. I’m beyond excited to see more of your creations and techniques so I can make pieces that I can love just as much as you love yours!
Aaah! It made me so happy to see a notification from this channel. I have literally been watching your creative journey since I was about 16, now I´m 24 and married and I get some kind of sisterhood pride in knowing how your family has grown! I can´t wait to see more of your content, but take your time, and prioritize your family! we will love you nonetheless :3
I can't believe my channel has been around for this long! Haha thank you for watching 😀💕
@Dollightful I have loved every video! Thank you for inspiring me all these years!
OMG YOU'RE FINALLY BACK!!! I missed you so much, I've been rewatching your videos so many times, especially the dragon series
Welcome back! 🎉
I should say that I grew up so much since I first watched you. I’m glad you get to grow at possibly a faster rate than most of us. We’re proud of you no matter when or how often u post. We’re lichrally ur children to some extent!
So glad you and babylightful 2 had a safe delivery and congrats on the new house! We love your content but don't drain yourself! We've been here a while, most off us and we don't mind you taking time to be with your family! Supper excited for all the dolls to come and especially excited for the cryptid doll!
The studio is a blessing in disguise, probably. If you've bought a home and have enough room for a studio there, that means you'll spend less money on overhead in the long run! Most excellent indeed.
Personally, I hope to see you do more dolls with historical Korean aesthetics in the future! There aren't many doll customizers who have prominent Korean influences. (and I'm a sucker for historical fashion, what can I say.) Looking forward to the rainbow dolls!
RIP to all the avocados no longer possible, but congrats on the millennial dream of home ownership! So happy you'll have your own space the way you want it literally close to home, and that the kids are doing well and everyone's happy! Look forward to your 2025 videos!
LOL the "maybe if they spent less money on avocado toast" reference tickled me
I know how stressful (but exciting) setting up a new house can be, and I'm also glad that you'll be sharing new dolls with us soon! I love re-watching your videos while I crochet, it really got me back into crafting after I hurt my wrist last year and had to take a break.
I’m so glad your baby’s happy and healthy, and that both your maternity leave and move went well!
I’m very excited for the rainbow series, as well as the holiday dolls! I can tell you’re excited too!
Welcome back, and be sure to take your time!🩷🧡💛💚🩵💜
Thank you so much!! 😀🌈💕
Omg I have been watching your channel for years I’m so happy for you with being a mom of two and a new homeowner! Wishing you a great year/life, take all the time you need!🤗🤗🤗
Maybe with the rainbow dolls each one could have a different expression/personality and each one could explore a different type of fashion (or be from different climates). You could have a complementary accent color for the eyes like you did for the pink doll, and maybe also do black and white?
NOTHING is more important than the health and happiness of you and your family!!! ❤ Don't ever feel like you need to put work first - you have so many incredible videos and series that we can watch over and over again and never get bored. We will be here when you're ready, and it makes my heart so happy to hear you and your babies are doing well!! Make that new home yours 💞
hiii lovely to hear from you! much love to you and your family 💞
it's so crazy to look back on the videos you found her on, just for them to be 5+ years old. It's certainly been some delightful years with you, welcome back!
I started watching 6-7 years ago i'm pretty sure!! I remember Amanita's vid coming out, which is crazy!
@Cometsarecool I saw Aurora (first dragon) video first, and i was hooked on doll customizing.
Omg!! I was wondering what you've been up to!! That's so amazing to hear!! Like you said, just gotta roll with the punches, I'm so excited for this year's dolls! You always have such brilliant design ideas! And the interactivity on Instagram is so fun! Welcome back Dollightful!!! ♡♡♡ here's to a brand new year!
Welcome back! I've been rewatching your videos over over a month now! I'm sorry you had to give up the studio, but you got to do what's best for you and your growing family. Congratulations on buying your first house! It'll be exciting to see what you come up with in your new home! Glad to see that the 'Lightful family is doing well, too!
I've been a long time subscriber since childhood (now 20) and I just want to say i'm so glad to see you back! I have missed your videos and bright colorful content SO MUCH!! I look forward to your new doll videos and they even give me inspo on my own artwork. Such a lovely and beautiful family, your leave was understandable and well worth the wait
honestly take all the time you need! I'm so excited for the rainbow series but ESPICALLY the cryptid!! I hope its Moth man!!!
I discovered your videos when I was about nine years old and I’ll be turning eighteen this year. It’s been a joy to watch your channel grow, and I want you to know that your really are wonderful! You take your time in returning, your videos have great rewatch-ability! We’re excited to have you back! 🩵
Welcome back! ❤
Congratulations on the new baby!! So glad you and baby are happy and healthy, and congratulations on the house move!! Yours is one of the few channels I always actively wait for notifications of new videos, so definitely looking forward to the new series of dolls this year!! Great to have you back, but please do always take time for your family first!! ^-^
katherine, it’s genuinely so wonderful to see you again! i’m glad famlightful is doing great! can’t wait to see your creative and beautiful work again 💞
If I'm being honest, your channel is one of those that I watch whenever a video is recommended to me. I recently have been relying on the notifications tab on youtube because a lot of the channel I've been subscribed to just haven't been recommended to me. That's how I was able to catch this video and makes sense why I haven't seen a video of yours in so long!
That being said, I'm glad you're back! Your content is a much needed de-stressor to a lot of the other high energy and chaotic content I usually watch. I love just being able to sit back and relax to a video. Congrats on the new house and baby! That must be super exciting!
Yay!! Welcome back! Looking forward to all of your new creations and congrats on the house!! 🥳
Congratulations on Babylightful 2! I’ve been watching your content for a long time now, and it’s always such a comfort for me. I actually tried customizing a doll recently because I was so inspired by your work! Thank you for what you do!!
return of the queen! welcome back katherine, i hope you're doing well!!
Welcome back!! Honestly, to hear you doing well has brought me so much joy and comfort. I've been subscribed to you since I was little girl and watched you, I'm going to be 18 in a few months, and you've been such a big inspiration for me and my art journey. It's even made me dabble in a little doll customization, and I even made a monster high oc purely so I can create her as a doll :) I've rewatched your vids hundreds of times and they have never gotten old. I adore your humor and watching your creative ups and downs, and overall, it's just very inspiring. I'm just really happy to hear that you're doing well and found a place where you truly feel comfortable. Pls take it easy and hope that you and your family have an amazing year
I am glad that you and your family have a place to call yours now. May the Childightfuls have the whimsy that their parents have and plenty of opportunities to cultivate it.
I hope the highly requested cryptid gets some inspiration from how the flubs that you had saying it. CAN'T wait for the rainbow series to be uploaded. May the blue one have a bit of a mysticism flare to it.
Yay!!! Thank you for the update. I have been watching your channel for years and I hope to be watching it for many more!! So please always take all the time you need ❤
Thank you once again for all that you do ❤ Congratulations on the new baby 🎉
Glad to see you all looking good happy and healthy ❤
So the studio didn't work out... that's OK. You now have a HOUSE! And such a beautiful family!!
Things will level out, and your routine will settle into a more natural rhythm.
Take your time.
We will be here.
❤
Very unfortunate to hear about the studio but I’m still so so happy to see you returning!! You’ve been one of my biggest inspirations with doll customs and probably one of the first I started watching on a consistent basis before I was even old enough to safely make dolls on my own lol! Anytime I’d get sick or just bored I’d put on your playlist of all your dolls at the time and just let it play in the background for some calming entertainment, so I just want to say how grateful I am to still be here seeing you post and even see your family grow, and I hope you know that whether you post monthly or just a few times a year seeing a new video absolutely makes my day and I immediately run to my friends like OMG NEW DOLLIGHTFUL JUST DROPPED!!! I’m sure RUclips and parenthood is its own fun little juggle but here’s to more dolls and creative freedom this year!!
Take your time beautiful Mamalightful. We'll all be here whenever you decide to come around with whatever you have in store for us.
Welcome back, and congratulations on the house and healthy baby!
We've missed you, but we're happy that you're taking care of yourself! That takes priority!
My mum and I watch your videos together, we're always discussing our favourite parts and stuff! It's become such a tradition, I can't get away with watching them with my friends first, haha!
I'm so happy to see you coming back. I've loved your content for a few years now. Congratulations on baby #2!!
We missed you!!! Congratulations on a new healthy baby! What a generous family! And I love your mom’s style. Looking forward to a creative 2025
Oh my gosh, welcome back! Im so excited to see the new line of dolls and I love the Rainbow Doll/Candy idea! You could totally make your dolls look like candy or something along those lines!
As much as I love the current channel banner, I'd definitely love to see you draw a new one in a 'sketch with me' style video. You've made so many cool characters that would be great to see!
So good to have you back! Losing the studio is sad, but I hope having a workspace in your own home at least makes finding that work-life balance easier in some way and that you can find that balance soon! Not just because I'm very eager to see new videos from you 😄
It's great to have an update!! I'm very excited about the Rainbow series!! And of course the Halloween and Christmas dolls! It's been a joy to follow you on your journey of balancing your RUclips life and being a mother!
I’m so glad you posted this video. I follow you on Instagram and saw that you had your second baby, which was amazing and absolutely gorgeous. As mom myself who has both a soap, company and a sewing business plus working full-time and taking care of my home my family doing grocery shopping cooking cleaning, etc. I know exactly where you coming from. For the longest time I had dreamed for a studio and when that finally came to fruition right before 2020 it was wonderful and as you know during the quarantine, I ended up not being able to fulfill my rental agreement. So surprise, surprise I ended up having to give it up. So I know exactly where you’re coming from. I’m just glad that you look amazing and you look happy and your kids are beautiful. I’m so happy that your parents came and stayed for a few months to help you. I look forward to many videos from you.❤❤❤
Gosh, some things are just out of our control, aren't they? I am sorry you also had to give up on your studio. That timing was unfortunate. It sounds like you are one hard working Mama!! 💪I found your story inspiring!!
Welcome back! I've missed your videos a ton. They were always such a great safe place for me to wind down and just enjoy life.
But I'm so happy to hear of how your life has changed too! New mommy life, new home life, new work life and new just you life. I believe in you and wish you so much luck and love for this new year. You got this!
Welcome back! I’ve missed you. I hope all is great!
*we
@ I’m speaking for me
@withdrawn_illustrator356 sorry 😞 but we did all miss her
@ I didn’t say we all didn’t. I just spoke for myself. And the new people couldn’t have missed her. I get where you’re coming from but it’s unnecessary
@withdrawn_illustrator356 fair enough
Can't wait, girl!! I genuinely can't believe it's been almost a decade since you started. I originally subbed on my private account, allllllll the way back then. Also love how much of a perfect blend your oldest kiddo is of you and your hubby, adorable
I have missed your videos! Your voice is so soothing!! I'm glad you found a new home for your family!! Can't wait for new content. Take it easy though! We all understand life happens, so take breaks when you need them. We love you!
My girls and I missed you so much! Thank you for sharing pictures of your beautiful family. So sweet! ❤
Welcome back Dollightful, & congrats on your second baby! I am glad you got a house, though I am sorry about the studio. Changes can be scary but sometimes it can be an adventure.
With your kids in your life, it makes me want to sketch a Family-Lightful. Happy New Year Dollightful.
Gave a lil "Eee!" squeal seeing the absolute cuteness that is your sweet toddler! 🥺 The curls with those eyes! 💕 And that wittle jellybean your dad was holding! The excitement I felt at hearing "Rainbow" series, gives me another thing to really look forward to, ya know? Especially *YELLOW*!! 💛
welcome back angel!! so happy to see you again. glad you took some time to take care of yourself ❤🎉
Good to see you back! Glad you and the family are doing well. Sorry to hear about the studio but I think the sacrifice is well worth it for the actual house, plus when you take breaks from working you can simply go to the next room and be with your family. Having a house and being able to customize your living space can be very cathartic. If you feel comfortable with sharing some of those customizations, that would be so cool!
Welcome back! Looking forward to the new projects for sure!
I just saw people say how long they have been watching you so I went back and checked and I started seeing your work around 8 years ago🤯 you are my favorite doll creator and also one of my favorite artists, please take your time and come back when everything is ready! It will be worth the wait, it always is😊
Yaaaay rainbow series! That’s going to be so exciting! And both holiday dolls this year! You are spoiling us ❤
welcome back!!
I started watching your videos when I was much younger and now I'm about to turn eighteen. channels like yours and myfroggystuff have retained my love for art for years and its so cool to look at how life progresses, as this is a transitional period for the both of us in different ways. thank you for inspiring me to pursue art.
much love to you and your family!!
This year is gonna be a good year now that you're back! Remember, if you're tired, don't feel guilty taking breaks!
hey katherine! i've been watching your videos since i was 12 and now i'm in college!! your channel has truly inspired my art and i can only hope that 2025 will be a wonderful year for you and your family! thank you for your dedication to this channel, it will forever be a source of inspiration to me!!
Yay! Happy to see an update! Congrats on the house! I hope you are able to take the time you need getting back into the swing of things ❤
Congratulations on the baby and the house! I had my own first child in 2024 and can totally understand the pull between doing something you enjoy just for you and spending time with your babies!
I'm excited to see you come back to your channel and customization with the enthusiasm that you had pre 2024!!
Welcome back!! Happy New Year. It sounds like you had a crazy 2024!
Ahhh im so excited!!!! Welcome back Kathrine! Congrats on the baby and new house!! Omg such big things for you!
I've missed seeing your videos and your creative brain in action! Really looking forward to your future projects!! I hope 2025 is a brilliant year for you!!
welcome back! love your content and love your work! glad life is moving forward for you!!
We'll be waiting for you and the rest of your series! I been bingewatching the Stock box series again since its my favorite of all your projects. Congratulations to your new house and baby!
Welcome back!!!! ❤
I'm so glad you're back! I've watched every video of yours and you've really inspired me!! Take your time to settle in your new home!
WELCOME BACK!!!!
welcome back! I cant wait for the rainbow dolls!!! if you ever have the time/space/energy id love to see another doll tour video this year like you did at the end of 2018! i think it would be cool to see how far your customizing has come, and i think it'd be cool for the newer fans too!!
YESSSS!!!
It's awesome to hear that your back! I usually toss one of your videos on on my second monitor whenever I'm working for background noise, so its great to hear your getting back into the groove of content creation *insert jazz hands* lol. Take as much time as you need and we'll be eager to see any of the newer dolls you have on store for us :)
Congratulations on the house!! I'm so happy to hear you've been well!
I'm so excited to see what you come out with next! Please remember to take however much time you need and not to worry about putting out videos too often if it becomes less manageable. We all support you and don't want you to get too stressed, so don't push yourself too hard if it turns out you can't fully make these commitments! Love your art and your videos!!
I’m so excited to see you back! I’m glad to hear your babies are doing well and that you got to spend some time with your parents and just enjoy being a family without having to stress about videos! But I’m also very excited to see all the new dolls you bring us this year!! Especially the Halloween doll! Your Halloween customs always blow me away!
Glad to have you back! Haven't watched in a while, but I've checked every so often to see updates. Congrats on the house and Babylightful 2!
So nice to see you! Congratulations on the new baby and the new house!
Thanks for being vulnerable and sharing how you felt about losing the studio. No need to feel embarrassed. Now you have your own home with a studio inside. You should be super proud of yourself and I can’t wait for the tour! ❤❤❤
I used to watch your channel when I was younger,cool to see it randomly pop up in my recommendations after how many years
Hope you have a good day,take as much time as you need,creating is all about having fun
I’m super close to my due date with my baby #2 and am so so excited to be watching your videos this year in a similar chapter! It’ll also be a nice breastfeeding companion, something that I cherished with my last kiddo. Can’t wait to see all of your rainbow dolls (and energy!) back this year. Congratulations on your busyness and your new home ❤
as someone who's been watching since the repainting unicorno days, it's so cool to see how much you've grown as a person!! two babies AND home ownership is so awesome, im really happy for you!! it's a shame about the studio, but i guess that's just life sometimes, very excited for this upcoming year to see your art!!
So happy to hear you're all happy and healthy! Congratulations on the house and your baby! I look forward to seeing what you create this year and remember to take your time. Your creativity is an inspiration to so many!
My daughter and I are so excited you are back. We understand the struggle of the first studio we had a candle studio for a bit. ❤ we love and support you. Be kind to yourself and thank you for sharing your life with us. What a beautiful family!❤
