I’ve been really enjoying watching you paint the candle painting! I’m not sick of it at all, while you’re very entertaining doing day to day things, I do also like seeing your art process as you’re also an art RUclipsr!
I think the drips might look off because they're rather evenly-sized and evenly-spaced, and they don't overlap horizontally. On the "shaft", it could help to blend some of the adjacent drips together and/or add some in between to make it look more organic/random.
i was going to comment the same thing, it would look more naturalistic, if you will, if the wax drips were not quite as uniform in size and especially quite as evenly spaced
For the sketchbook painting, if you scan it once right-side up (top of painting facing the front of the scanner) and then turn it upside-down (top of painting facing the back of scanner/bottom of page), then line them up in photoshop rotating the upside-down one to now be right-side-up and set that layer to 50%, it knocks out a ton of the scanned texture. Also, have you ever considered using a fulfillment center for some of your merch? The only one I know of is White Squirrel Co, and they're US based, but that might be something to look into while still letting you work from home, if it ever comes to it.
TLDR: Buy a battery booster!! Canadian tire usually puts them on sale this time of year and also Black Friday might be a good time to buy. I’m in Winnipeg (aka Winterpeg) and my previous car, a used Saturn, had no block heater. When buying it we had no idea and wasn’t told about it either. It was just assumed that it had one because it had remote start and umm it’s freaking cold here most of the year! So when winter came around I went to plug it in and couldn’t find a cord. Fortunately I didn’t have too many problems and it was always when I was at home. I made sure that my current car had one, but in the last 5 years I’ve had just as many or more problems despite plugging it in. Hopefully it was a crap battery and the new one is better quality. But the absolute best purchase we’ve made is a battery booster pack!! I can jumpstart my car in minute and be on my way, no booster cables or second car needed! I have even pulled over to boost other people and amazed them when I pull it out instead of cables. I try to remember to take it with me when it’s stupid cold and always keep it charged up but I don’t leave it in the car so it gets left at home a lot. It’s a goal to bring it along more often so I can help others and not worry about getting stranded myself.
I am jealous of the size of your new tree...I am sure it will be stunning when you get it up and decorated! Just a heads up that Home Depot rents ladders so you can always try there if you just wanted one for when you decorate and undecorate the tree.
Maybe you could put up a storage unit outside in the yard if you are allowed to in your area? Just for additional stock? Just a thought. Or you could rent a storage unit and write it off for your taxes as a business expense? Again just a thought.
I know you've always incorporated it a little bit into your art, but I'm really loving the extra attention to adding the very colorful outlines and bits to your drawings -- LOVE color and it makes it feels so ethereal
A thing about the stickers I wanna say: I see them in pretty much every order you package in the vids, and I have to tell you that I hope there will be more holo stickers in the future. I know they didn't turn out like you wanted them and that you had to sell them for cheap, but MAN! They are SO pretty! Before I open my sketchbook and after I close it, I just wiggle the book in the light a bit and I get mesmerized by the rainbow colours every! Single! Time! Holo stickers were an amazing idea I swear!
I'll try to find a different manufacturer to see if I can get a holo that is less cloudy. They seemed to be very popular! They were also cheaper, but still!
25:38 oh my this reminds me of the old snow village one piece that my grandma had that made music just like this, it was one of the joys that me and my cousins would had during the holidays. we were upset when we found out that she sold it because she assumed we were not interested in that snow village item anymore. she had to get a new one 4 years ago
I enjoy watching the painting process timelapses. Those are some of my favorite parts. You could even do shorts of those. I think that maybe what feels off with the painting is the wax drops have become more of the focus. The lines do lead up to the top of the candle, but with the duckies not painted yet the drops, since there are so many, are the focus. That might change when you paint the duckies, though, or you can tone some on the sides down. The top row of drops are great, so maybe the lower ones could be toned down to more of the shadowed colors of the candle? I’d work on the duckies a little to see first. Definitely keep painting timelapses in, is my vote.
27:42 you mentioned having some juicy videos in your sub inbox, and I think you perfectly described how I feel about your vlogs and videos from my favorite creators😆 they must be saved for nice, relaxing, uninterrupted me time
Yay another thing to look forward to on Fridays! I get so excited when I see you post your vlog. Is there an ETA on when the luna moth will be released. I just want one so bad and love when you wear it!
Oooo, your new side tables are SO nice! 😍 Staples always have the nicest notebooks, I got my last travel journal there. It's debossed with monstera leaves, it's so pretty! I can't wait to see your new tree! 😊
That painting is coming out pretty good! And I'm not sick of watching you paint, I'm actually kind of tired of the packaging part 😅 but that's ok I'm sure a lot of people do enjoy it
tip about storage, why not get a "storage unit " to put all the warehouse needs, so you can work from home as you want, but have the stock stored in the unit ? somewhere nearby so going back & forth wont be a problem, just a thought.
The parade of paws just unlocked the childhood memory of my mum's Christmas themed crosstitch cats that i would insist on putting up as decorations every year they have a similar cuteness
Yay! I'm so excited for your TikTok videos. The editing on TikTok is not so bad once you get used to it. I feel like I haven't watched your videos in forever, I feel like I forgot about RUclips but I do miss the RUclips format but if only the algorithm didn't suck
A battery blanket from Amazon would work in place of block heater. I couldn’t install one in my car either and with Alberta winters it’s great alternative. Easy to install and plugs in just like block heater.
Battery blankets work wonders! Also make sure you are running your car long enough, if you do only short trips it can contribute to batteries draining or freezing up. My partner and I had this issue with our car which was brand new (we also live in Canada) Plugging in block heaters isnt as big of a deal unless its like consistently under -40 C
A big yes for letting it run long enough! I have to drive to school and back 3 times a day but the trip is only 3 minutes max one way (I’m disabled so walking isn’t a option) so sometimes I have to just drive around or leave it running so it doesn’t die again. I can always boost it but it’s probably still hard on the battery and should let it run. I bought a premium battery this year so I hope that I don’t have as many problems.
I'd be so paranoid of theft 😆 But yes, that would be a good solution. We do want a shed for yard stuff like the mower, so I'm not sure we would have room for both.
No, we don't have anything like that right now. I ended up moving the wine glasses to the lower cabinet, and that made room for the new glasses. I also took out the 5 or so old glasses, which I will donate.
Literally working on getting things together for an Xmas craft sale where we sell embroidered tea towels as you're talking about wanting to do them lol.
They don't put in block heaters?! 🤨 I lived in Alaska for many years and every garage and dealership put in block heaters (and many new vehicles just came with them).
I think the candle would look better if you take away some of the drips and replace them with lumps if you know what I mean? 😭 over the painting is coming along and I think it looks wonderful!!!❤
Don't worry y oldest towels are over 60 uears. They were the old ones from my grandmother. And the others when I was in school 40 years ago... 😂. This year I finally got myself a whole new set... and made my old once for my dog... (still grab them though 😂😂😂) My glas, I know, they are in the storage... in the box. I use them only a few time a year. And still use my cokeglasses that where free at mc Donald's and my very old once... over 30 years... 😂😂😂 so yes... don't worry...
Maybe the drips look not right because they're too evenly spaced? Usually when my candles drip, it'll be more to one side? So maybe on the left side where the top ridge of the candle is, the wax wouldn't be pouring as much and the left side of the candle would be more flat and smooth? Idk, I hope I'm making sense. >_> I love the glowing effect you've achieved though, the painting looks so good!
Time for a new car! Something to help your business too, meaning transporting products when necessary. It's a good excuse for a new bigger vehicle...weather appropriate and business shipping and pickups 😂😅
Maybe the drips look off because they're not casting any shadows yet, but at least on the screen, they still look adequately drippy even if you stopped there
With the sweater that has holes, it would look super cute to take some patterned fabric and patch the holes with hand stitching. I’m not saying you should do that 😂 cause I know you don’t have the time but whoever buys it could take the time to do it.
I’m doing this with a pair of jeans! I’m not a fan of ripped denim but they fit perfectly and the rips were originally really small… they have gotten much bigger and are basically big holes. One of them is starting to show some undies 😅 I can’t wear them to work anymore and they are totally inappropriate for winter! I just have to decide which fabric to use and actually do it lol
There's no dips in the rim of the candle to justify all of those drips. I mean it's non realistic... But that might be what doesn't look right to your eyeball. ❤😊
So random and very pointless for me to say but I'm at the end of your video where you talk about your Luna moth stream (I watched that live while I was painting lol) and I JUST started live streaming on RUclips and someone came in and was like "OH ONLY 11 PEOPLE WATCHING WITH 2K SUBS!? WHY IS NO ONE HERE?" I'm like "😢" I just relived the moment right now. 🤣
i was the 650 like!! haha sorry that was dumb.....heehee loved the vlog BTW! CAN I PLEASE PLEASE come see this massive tree!!!! i am so JELLY!!!!! and u have my village! my king kong kitty would LOVE that!!! and may i suggest that when I come visit and have a few drinks I get a plastic cup?? hahahahahaha, i love my note too with the stylus!
I feel like you need to start just refunding big ticket items that need to be replaced. If the hoodie costs X and you pay it twice plus shipping twice, is it worth it? I guess if you’re still making a tiny profit it’s fine, but I think time wise it’s not worth it.
I would break even on the sweaters, but lose money on shipping, so you're probably right. But ultimately I want people to have a good customer service experience. I anticipate having a certain amount of lost orders each shop update.
Pro tip: Decorate the top part of the tree on the ground and then attach it to the bottom half. It’s easier than trying to decorate it from a ladder.
That's what I was kinda thinking too. Depends how big the top piece is. 😆
Um it’s not Christmas if you aren’t struggling precariously on a ladder

I’ve been really enjoying watching you paint the candle painting! I’m not sick of it at all, while you’re very entertaining doing day to day things, I do also like seeing your art process as you’re also an art RUclipsr!
for the saran wrap ball, you could get bigger items and then put a clue in the ball and send them on a scavenger hunt for their gift
Omg that is GENIUS! They could even be in plain sight, wrapped, and marked with a number that matches what they pull from the ball.
What would be super cute is if you embroider your tulip bunnie on a tea towel!
I used to watch you all the time as a kid. I’m overjoyed to see that not only is your channel still up, but you’re still posting!
Thanks for stopping by! 😊
Could you please do a 12 month calendar , with your 12 best selling design or favorite
I think the drips might look off because they're rather evenly-sized and evenly-spaced, and they don't overlap horizontally. On the "shaft", it could help to blend some of the adjacent drips together and/or add some in between to make it look more organic/random.
i was going to comment the same thing, it would look more naturalistic, if you will, if the wax drips were not quite as uniform in size and especially quite as evenly spaced
no matter the day of the week your video is always a treat :D
For the sketchbook painting, if you scan it once right-side up (top of painting facing the front of the scanner) and then turn it upside-down (top of painting facing the back of scanner/bottom of page), then line them up in photoshop rotating the upside-down one to now be right-side-up and set that layer to 50%, it knocks out a ton of the scanned texture.
Also, have you ever considered using a fulfillment center for some of your merch? The only one I know of is White Squirrel Co, and they're US based, but that might be something to look into while still letting you work from home, if it ever comes to it.

Oooo, I didn't even know those existed! I also like people's suggestion of a battery blanket.
I am jealous of the size of your new tree...I am sure it will be stunning when you get it up and decorated! Just a heads up that Home Depot rents ladders so you can always try there if you just wanted one for when you decorate and undecorate the tree.
Ohhhh ladder rental? That is really good to know!
I've heard from different people on Tiktok that they were also shorted a glass from other sets, too! Costco is slacking!
Maybe you could put up a storage unit outside in the yard if you are allowed to in your area? Just for additional stock? Just a thought. Or you could rent a storage unit and write it off for your taxes as a business expense? Again just a thought.
I would totally buy the damaged one and hand embroider a couple patches on myself
I know you've always incorporated it a little bit into your art, but I'm really loving the extra attention to adding the very colorful outlines and bits to your drawings -- LOVE color and it makes it feels so ethereal
Thanks! 😁

I love the darker colour for your brand name on the shirt… any vlog, anytime, always welcome ! ❤
Love the painting timelapses😊
That gauche bunny art would look so cute as a notebook with silver edge paper like that notebook you got! Loving Friday vlogs already
Yay another thing to look forward to on Fridays! I get so excited when I see you post your vlog. Is there an ETA on when the luna moth will be released. I just want one so bad and love when you wear it!
Likely late this month.
@@BayleeJae yay!! Thank you!
Behind the shelves on the packing station put the sticky led lights on the back. Then it will be lit nicely!!
Is vacuum sealing the jumpers an option? To help with space in storage and delivery?
Congratulations Judah and Katie 🎉🎉🎉
What if you vacuum sealed the sweatshirts it would increase how many would fit in the storage bins and also smaller packaging needed possibly??
A 12 FOOT CHRISTMAS TREE??? THAT IS HUGE 😮😮
Oooo, your new side tables are SO nice! 😍 Staples always have the nicest notebooks, I got my last travel journal there. It's debossed with monstera leaves, it's so pretty! I can't wait to see your new tree! 😊

You should make cotton a print! I know it’s a little old, but it’s definitely one of my favorite illustration you’ve done! 🖤
Oh I would love it if you did tea towels! Especially with the Why Babe Why!
Omg yes! You making those kind of notebook/journals would be so cute!
I like the idea of doing silent restock of the sweatshirts!
tip about storage,
why not get a "storage unit " to put all the warehouse needs, so you can work from home as you want, but have the stock stored in the unit ?
somewhere nearby so going back & forth wont be a problem, just a thought.
The parade of paws just unlocked the childhood memory of my mum's Christmas themed crosstitch cats that i would insist on putting up as decorations every year they have a similar cuteness
Awww, I love that!
battery blanket maybe? they have worked for me in the past. or perhaps a trickle charger (which I have not tried)
Yay! I'm so excited for your TikTok videos. The editing on TikTok is not so bad once you get used to it. I feel like I haven't watched your videos in forever, I feel like I forgot about RUclips but I do miss the RUclips format but if only the algorithm didn't suck

@BayleeJae could try getting a shed for you back yard to store blanks or boxes in
I'd be so paranoid of theft 😆 But yes, that would be a good solution. We do want a shed for yard stuff like the mower, so I'm not sure we would have room for both.
Will watch you whenever you post. Love the surprise Friday posting🎄🎄
omg i would defo buy ur entire stock of tea towels if u make them
Look at that website!! It looks so niiiiice!!!
Yay! I love Friday vlogs!
I'm willing to buy that ruined Strawberry shirt! It would be so fun for me to patch it up 😍😁I would add some kitties to the shoulders!
Maybe use extra vines to fill in behind the parade of paws a korox-sp
Oh my gosh you got the sugarbunnyshop wooden standees! I wanted them but they were out of my budget. I got the witchy tea cat tee though!
idek how true it is but i’ve heard there’s like a blanket for your battery that you can plug in ?
I'll definitely buy Luna moth washi 😍🦋
I'm never not happy when you upload! Confused about the day, yes. But always excite!! 😂
Can't wait for the drop on the new sweaters.
I love your purple / pink outfit. I would totally wear this. Where did you get your pants?
do you have room in your dining room for a hutch for all your "non-everyday servingware" like wine glases, champagne glasses, etc?
No, we don't have anything like that right now. I ended up moving the wine glasses to the lower cabinet, and that made room for the new glasses. I also took out the 5 or so old glasses, which I will donate.
ooh okay. smart thinking.@@BayleeJae
Agree 💯 on the bath sheets!
That notebook from staples is the CUTEST THING IVE EVER SEEN
TikTok videos should also be posted here on RUclips in shorts
I'll likely post the better ones. Not all though.
Aw shucks... what a nice way for you to celebrate my birthday today by uploading on Friday hehe ;)
Happy birthday!
I love your videos. Have a awesome day 💗
Literally working on getting things together for an Xmas craft sale where we sell embroidered tea towels as you're talking about wanting to do them lol.
They don't put in block heaters?! 🤨
I lived in Alaska for many years and every garage and dealership put in block heaters (and many new vehicles just came with them).
I thought it would be the default here too, but I guess not!
I looove wathing you paint! I think the drips might be too small, too many and similarly shaped? That might be it 🥰 love wathing you paint
I think the candle would look better if you take away some of the drips and replace them with lumps if you know what I mean? 😭 over the painting is coming along and I think it looks wonderful!!!❤
I'll give that a try!
Those shirts and stuff you bought are so cute! Do you have a link
It's in the description. Yes, her stuff is so cute!!
Don't worry y oldest towels are over 60 uears. They were the old ones from my grandmother. And the others when I was in school 40 years ago... 😂. This year I finally got myself a whole new set... and made my old once for my dog... (still grab them though 😂😂😂)
My glas, I know, they are in the storage... in the box. I use them only a few time a year. And still use my cokeglasses that where free at mc Donald's and my very old once... over 30 years... 😂😂😂 so yes... don't worry...
I hope you get a new car soon, that car has been trouble for yearssss
I’m pretty sure my parents have that exact Christmas village
The music playing while you're packaging orders sounds like it came from The Great British Bakeoff :D
So are you going to embroider "🎵 Be our guest 🎵" on the guest towels?
Maybe the drips look not right because they're too evenly spaced? Usually when my candles drip, it'll be more to one side?
So maybe on the left side where the top ridge of the candle is, the wax wouldn't be pouring as much and the left side of the candle would be more flat and smooth? Idk, I hope I'm making sense. >_>
I love the glowing effect you've achieved though, the painting looks so good!
yay for 12ft tree!
Time for a new car! Something to help your business too, meaning transporting products when necessary. It's a good excuse for a new bigger vehicle...weather appropriate and business shipping and pickups 😂😅
I would like a bigger vehicle someday, but not anytime soon.
The grand duchess tree 😮
A Friday video ?!
Did you make your appointment for snow tires? I remember you mentioning you wanted to do it earlier last year! 😂
I got them changed over right at the start of October.
Did the person who made the Needy Kitten colab with Hot Topic? Because i have the same shirt from there and i would hate for the artwork to be stolen.
Her name is in the Hot Topic listing, so I assume it's official.
@BayleeJae Good I know some place can rip off artists hard work.
Maybe the drips look off because they're not casting any shadows yet, but at least on the screen, they still look adequately drippy even if you stopped there
I’ll patch it!!! So cute
…am I a cat?! I saw that box size and immediately thought “that would be a nice box to curl up in!” I need help…
😆
Hey do you draw for others I need someone to buy me some .braids on a picture that I have can you please.
With the sweater that has holes, it would look super cute to take some patterned fabric and patch the holes with hand stitching. I’m not saying you should do that 😂 cause I know you don’t have the time but whoever buys it could take the time to do it.
Yeah, that would be really cute!
I’m doing this with a pair of jeans! I’m not a fan of ripped denim but they fit perfectly and the rips were originally really small… they have gotten much bigger and are basically big holes. One of them is starting to show some undies 😅 I can’t wear them to work anymore and they are totally inappropriate for winter!
I just have to decide which fabric to use and actually do it lol
Are you going to check your Christmas tree to make sure its all there 😂
I wanted to 😆
@@BayleeJae Do it do it do it Hahaha
i've never been this early :D
me either
There's no dips in the rim of the candle to justify all of those drips.
I mean it's non realistic... But that might be what doesn't look right to your eyeball. ❤😊
So random and very pointless for me to say but I'm at the end of your video where you talk about your Luna moth stream (I watched that live while I was painting lol) and I JUST started live streaming on RUclips and someone came in and was like "OH ONLY 11 PEOPLE WATCHING WITH 2K SUBS!?

❤ You're my juicy video.
Sounds like an excuse to get a new car 😂
I feel like you need to start just refunding big ticket items that need to be replaced. If the hoodie costs X and you pay it twice plus shipping twice, is it worth it? I guess if you’re still making a tiny profit it’s fine, but I think time wise it’s not worth it.
I would break even on the sweaters, but lose money on shipping, so you're probably right. But ultimately I want people to have a good customer service experience. I anticipate having a certain amount of lost orders each shop update.
