 Sunday December 29th, I think. I don't know what time it is. It's late. I don't know. I have no idea. The kids are home so it's after 6.30. I don't think it's 8 o'clock yet but somewhere in there. I haven't vlogged all day because I've just been busy doing stuff. I got a stencil order in for the Etsy shop. Yeah, late last night and so I've been packaging that all day, getting my new little suitcase, conditioned and making a belly band for it and wrapping a few more Christmas gifts. We got some chocolates in from my husband's family and Polly's family. We also got this, some kind of natural herbal digestive thing made in Germany. I don't know what that is but thank you. Anyway, that's been a fun day. We just quiet day at home. We didn't go anywhere or do much but just stay home. I'll insert some pictures here of my new little suitcase and the band that I made for it. It's a new little luggage tag. If you didn't see last week's vlog, it's just like my smaller little brown leather suitcase, only just a little bit bigger. So I found it at a vintage shop. So I found the first one at a vintage shop too. So if you want a suitcase like my little art case, again I'll put a picture here of the two of them. You need to look at the vintage shops. That's where I keep finding them. All right, that's it for the moment. I'll be back tomorrow. Bye. Good morning. It is, what day is it? Monday morning. I think it's about 11 o'clock. I got the vlog edited. I just filmed a small short video about the new travel art case that I found. There'll be links below the video for the video where I made the belly band, the video where I made the luggage tag for it, and all of that stuff. We're gonna be going out house hunting with my daughter. I need to make some sketchbooks. New Year's Eve is tomorrow. I'm going to keep continuing with daily drawing and sketching next year. In some respects using up little notebooks that I have in the closet, but I really prefer my homemade notebooks. If y'all have been watching for a while, then you know that. And I will link a video on how I make them down below. I'm out right now, so I need to make some. First, I need to cut some cardstock. I use file folders. Excuse me. Hold on. I've got to hold it with my head. All right. I use file folders, and so I'm going to cut a bunch of folders to size, and I'm gonna run them through my printer while we're out house hunting. And that way they'll be ready to go when I get back. And I can make some notebooks. I know holding it with my head is weird. I'm aware. Okay, we got project pan going art supply style. If you want more note to know more about that, there's a video coming soon here on the channel. I think I'm kind of cleaned up. I think I got all the paint off my hands. I got my sketchbooks made for the new year, which was a problem. I needed to get some of those made and I got those done. I have a dead 64 gig SD card, so it's corrupted, but I've got to spare. And yeah, I think it might be time to go downstairs. I'll say too that I started what I think is going to be a fun new paperclip. I had a bunch of strips, little strips of paper left over from making the sketchbooks. And I always have paperclip stuff out. It lives out on the table. And so I took a piece of wood around one and painted it yellow, used some glue to glue a bunch of the strips down. So when it dries, I'm going to leave it overnight. I'll trim off all the little straight ends, and then we'll work on making a paperclip out of it. But I think the texture on it's going to be really cool. I don't know what the message is, it's going to say yet, but it's going to be pretty cool, I think. All right, that's it. So it's after eight o'clock, just barely, still Monday. I did a quick acrylic pour. And there we go. I did a quick acrylic pour, made a big giant mess, barely got it cleaned up. Oh, thank you, dear. And we decided to go for a walk because why not? Bob is off work, so he doesn't have to get up early. So let's go. I would say good morning, but it's afternoon 227 p.m., December 31st, New Year's Eve. So this morning I went out and ran some errands with my daughter. And while I was out, I got a cordless frother, like it's a mixer thing. Let's see. Looks like this. If you are seeing this clip, you've seen the clip of me using that. I was mixing all those random tubes of paint I want to let go for Project Pan that I want to let go of. And I mixed like all the turquoise and blues together, all the purples and dark blues together, all of the reds, oranges and that sort of thing together, all the greening colors together and that sort of thing. So we have four jars of paint. And then the last two jars are 50-50 of flow trowel and pouring medium. So I'm going to, so I got rid of all the little tiny containers on the table. And they're in the Project Pan box. And then I'm going to, over the next few days or weeks, use up the four jars of paint at minimum. And hopefully the two jars of flow trowel and pouring medium doing some acrylic pours. And this one here is drying up very nicely. Yeah, you can see where it's still at, but it's all good. So the small tubes and things, so they're all in here in this box. So at the end of the month, we'll go through and see what all is in here that was able to use. There was a few products that I opened that were just completely dry out. And so they went right in here. So, well, that's what happens, right? That's why we're doing this. I did decide too for the moment that we are going to make some of this pouring paint and paper cups rather than trying to rinse out a reusable cup just to make my life a little simpler. So that's going to be a thing. And when I do use a reusable cup, I think I'm going to just set it aside next to the canvas to dry. And when it's completely dry, the paint should peel right out. So I think I'm going to do that rather than trying to continually wash things because yeah, that's just driving me crazy. That's it for the moment. The husband has a question. Where is he? There he is. Hey, Fred. I need to get some popsicle sticks and I need packing tape. For God's sake, somebody remind me to put that on the list. Anyway, packing tape. All right, that's it for the moment. We'll be back. Hey guys, it is Tuesday evening 5.48 p.m. and we are getting ready to spend Christmas Eve. New Year's Eve. I'm sorry, New Year's Eve out to dinner. At least the first part of it. Then we're going to come home and wow, dark, hold on. There we go. We're going to come home. We'll crack some champagne. I don't know if we'll stay up until midnight. I don't know. Maybe. I don't know. No guarantees. Anyway, we'll play some games. Play some games. Probably watch some TV. God knows what we'll get up to. Anyway, I'll bring you with us where we can and I'll be back. Wow. Hard stop. Seven, six, five, four, three, two, one. Happy New Year. Happy New Year, people. Happy New Year. Hey guys, happy January 1st to you. It is well after lunch. To be honest, I don't have any idea what time it will tell me if it'll wake up. 3.49 p.m. You know, we've been puttering around all day. So we were up kind of late last night. If you're watching this footage, you've seen footage my daughter shot for me of me using up some of my old paint and doing an acrylic pour. All three cups had the same colors in them. One came out very red. One and the other two came out very brown with hints of red. I think they're all very pretty. They're not what you would call bright. And I think if you arrange them in the right way with maybe the red one in the middle and make an interesting triptych. So we'll see how they are when they dry. The project pan paint that we mixed up trying to get rid of paint. Again, if you saw this, you probably saw at least a short clip of that. There'll be more footage about that later in the month. It was kind of lumpy. Some of it was dry, but the battery operated frothing, whisk thing. This thing. Let's see. Then I bought it at Target for like three bucks. It really does work to get most of the lumps out. And the paint pour just fine. I don't really see any big giant lumps that are going to bother me. So I think that worked really well. I think in this case, I might be saving the cups. I don't know. We're going to see how they look when they're dry. I might want to take them apart and use them on a paper clip or something. They look interesting. And there's of course lots of paint in the tray. But anyways, I kind of got paint everywhere, but I got it cleaned up. Anyway, things are torched. Things are drying now. I did some computer work I needed to do for January 1. I need to do a bunch of video editing and some filming, but I think I'm going to do some of that like tomorrow. Maybe at least editing part. Maybe Friday. I need to do some voiceovers, which sucks, but there you have it. So anyway, we're just puttering today. Nothing, you know, earth shattering. I read a couple books this morning. Yeah, so how about you? I hope you're having an enjoying, relaxing New Year's Day. Anyway, that's it for the moment. I'll be back. I would say good morning, but I think it's afternoon. I don't know what time, but it's Thursday, January 2nd. We have been just puttering around the house. We went out to Home Depot real quick for a few things and picked up some sales stuff. I got some free flooring samples to do some paint experiments with and some other things I will share later. Right now, we are going to take a break and go out for a walk. I do have end of the year bookkeeping to do. I need to film one more video minimum for January, and there was something else on the list that I can't think of right now. I did write a Dalmo, but I'm going to go walking first. I'll be back. Okay, I don't know what time it is, but it's after five o'clock. Let's see. It's still Thursday, by the way, 5.46 p.m. I'm in the house alone. That's the first time that's happened in a few weeks now that the kids are living here. But anyway, I wanted to show you what I got at the hardware store that I thought was interesting and free. So there is a pay house paint company, and they have this 2020 color trends little booklet that I found interesting. And of course, it's talking about home interior design color trends, but yeah, there's some interesting imagery and I like the color stories in it. So I picked one up. They also have rainbow, they have these in rainbow color, they have one that's just greens, blues, purples, yellows, orange, reds, and all of them again have interesting color stories in them for the year for 2020. So I picked some of those up. And also Home Depot has these are flooring samples, they're free Pergo flooring samples free. So these can be lightly sanded to get some of that shine off of there coated in some gesso and then painted on or collaged on or whatever you want to do do acrylic pouring on them. So I picked up a few of those don't get greedy, but I picked up a few. One of each color that they had. So those are going to my closet and my stash of stuff to play with. Sure about. I think I like them. There's some interesting like cells and things happening here and here. We'll have to see how much more they change as they're drying because they do continue to change as they're drying. And sorry about the glare, but they're all completely wet. That one is interesting. And then these are the three little ones. These are the three other ones that I did that I do think that if I was going to hang them up as a triptych as a set, I would hang them that way with a reddish more red one in the middle. And all the parts that are very green at the bottom, they're almost completely dry. So when they are dry, I'll be giving them their clear coat along with all the others, this one and the others. And I'm saving some of the poor cups down here. There's some interesting things happening. So we're saving some of those. We'll see what happens. It might, you know, this one here is like this one been mixing and turning very brown and very dark. And they may all like turn to mud and gross, but we'll see. Anyway, I'm going to enjoy having house to myself. I'm going to go make myself some dinner. I guess I should feed the dog. She's here too. So I guess I should go do that. I will also say at the moment I intend on selling all of the acrylic pores I'm currently working on along with the clock I made a while back. If you remember clock. So if you're interested in buying any of them, please email me. And my email is down in the description below. And let's talk. And she's begging for some of my food, which isn't even cooked yet. You've already had your dinner. Yes. Anyway, the pores are still drying upstairs. And I just had the thought that, you know, my object is of what I'm doing is to use up some of the paint that was drying up in the tube anyway. So if those two little ones that got kind of muddy and didn't turn out the way I thought, and even or the big one that's mostly red instead of what I was shooting for, don't dry the way I want them to. I'll just do another pore on top of them, although I think the red and purple one I'm going to leave. The two little ones we'll have to see. We'll have to wait a couple of days and see what happens as they dry. The three with the three long skinny ones. I kind of like those. I like the way they've dried, which surprises me. They're very busy. There's no dead space in them or neutral space, but I like the way they turned out. So I think I'm going to leave those alone and the big black one, but those two other little ones. Yeah, I'm going to have to watch some more videos and try to figure out what I did wrong, although I think I just had too much paint is what I think happened. Anyway, all right, I'll be back. Hey guys, it's 1 16 p.m. on Friday, January 3rd. I spent the morning updating the website, and I posted a couple of ads to the or post to the business page on Facebook. And laughing at my daughter's Roomba. She got a Roomba for Christmas. She's been running it upstairs and that shit's hilarious when it comes in the art room, because I don't think it knows what to do with all the stuff that's on the floor. It gets stuck behind the easel. It gets stuck under my desk. It gets stuck on the drying rack half on half off one of the legs and can't get itself off. Yeah, it's pretty funny. Anyway, my husband's downstairs, puttering in the garage. I need to go to the grocery store because we're out of some stuff and I need to figure out what we're doing for dinner. So that means I need to put pants on other than pajama bottoms. So I'm going to go take care of that and I'll be back. Can you tell Christmas is over? And Lily, there she is. She's trying to beg Mommy to let her eat Christmas ornaments. Mommy says they're not edible though. I don't think Lily believes her. Hey guys, it is Saturday evening. December 4th, I think? I think it's the 4th. As you saw already, we spent the morning putting Christmas away for the year. So that's all said and done and puttering around the house. The kids are doing some laundry. They actually went out to go house hunting. So cross your fingers and went out to dinner and we were here. I did some creating intros and endings for videos for the chronic pain group that I'm working with, with Cindy Utter and Peg Robertson and Karla McCants and got those all done and sent off to everybody who needs them. And we decided to go out to dinner. So that's what we're going to do. So I'm going to bring you with us our last little bit for the week and I think we're going to go try something new, someplace new if they're not too crowded. It is a bit nippy outside. So I've got my halfway gloves on. I've got my plaid coat with the lining because it's a little bit nippy. I don't know what the temperature is but I'm a little cold. So anyway, I still can't do any art up in the art room because acrylic pour stuff is drying everywhere. But I have some watercoloring and daily drawing I want to do downstairs when I get back. So I'll get that done. All right, I'm going to get in the car as soon as it's pulled out and I'll be back. Meet me at some place called Langer's Entertainment Center. Yeah, so. Which has an arcade, a bowling alley. Rock climbing. Rock climbing and food. We'll see. We haven't been there before. Heard about it. I don't know. I'll let you know. Okay, so Langer Entertainment Center. That's what it's called, right? I liked it. So the upstairs is, if you're watching this, you saw some pictures I took up there. So it's, there's a bar upstairs, 21 and older, probably for the parents who are going crazy by all the gaming noise downstairs from their kids. I don't think so. But it's, you know, if we still had little ones, I'd take them there versus Chuck E Cheese. I used to work for the company that invented Chuck E Cheese and it's not my favorite place. But this place was pretty cool. They even had like a rock climbing wall and all stuff like that. So it was pretty cool that arcades. The burger, by the way, in the bar upstairs was delicious. The best one we've had so far. So we really liked that. We're going to go get some steps in now at Target and just try to improve our step count a little bit. We don't really need anything at Target. But you know, anyway, we hope you've all had a great week and had a happy new year. We've had a good week and we will see you next week. Don't forget to like, share and subscribe.
