Oh, hello dark hang on Let's turn on some lights It's early in the morning and it's still dark outside Although the Sun is trying to come up Yeah, so I don't think I've logged it all yesterday. I think I forgot I Was setting up for a day of filming of Which I did do a little bit of filming but not as much as I probably should have done I Ended up doing some purging and hello dark again. Hang on. There we go. I ended up doing some purging And then chatting with friends all day while I was doing said purging. So Yeah, I Didn't get quite as much done as I should have That's all right. I have time But this morning it's pretty early. I Don't know now what time it is, but I don't I Think it's around 7 7 30. I need to Do my daily postings and then I need to hit hit the grocery stores early Or fairly early I have An Etsy order to drop off to be mailed and then I have something else to ban to mail some happy mail And I want to get all that done this morning because this afternoon. I've got to go pick my dad up at the airport. So And in between I'm hoping I can get a tutorial filmed or at least part of a tutorial so we'll see and I Think that's it right now there. Yeah, I think that's it right now My focus is trying to get February film this morning, which is why I thought it was February today Because that's on my mind. I want to get February filmed This week and try to get one more of those videos filmed today So I can start the editing process and get everything uploaded before the weekend and then February is scheduled and ready to go As far as commitments are concerned I have a few other random things I want to film here and here and there but I want to get the commitments out of the way first so Yep, that's a thing All right, I'll be back try to finish second down my third cup of coffee I got the my creative year page filmed yay So I only have explorations of me for February and then that's all for my commitments That are filmed and in the cans so to speak I just have to edit them So I can spend the next couple of days editing them and then I can work on fun stuff like I've got to make another Sketchbook holder out of an old coffee box. I've done that before Here on the channel. It might have been part of the vlog. I don't remember But I'll be sharing it in the vlog. It's literally a k-cup coffee box I'm turning off the studio lights because oh that one's on a plug strip Anyway, it's out of a k-cup coffee box Just covered with paper I'll share it. I Do know I've shown it here on this on the channel. I don't know So you don't have everything I think so. I don't know if it was in the vlog or if it was a separate video I'll try to find it. I don't know if one of you all knows put it in the comments and I'll link something Anyway, so I did get one video filmed. I got all the grocery shopping done everything's put away I got breakfast in me. I said I'm working on my coffee So now I need to stop because it's almost noon. I gotta go pick up my dad at the airport Or he's gonna be calling me from You know the departure gate saying hey, I'm here and I'm gonna be like 40 minutes away That won't work so I need to wrap it up and Go get him. I'll get the mail on my way out I'm gonna be harvesting magazines later. So I may film some of that for you all I also am going to make a little bag with the stuff for sketching in my black sketchbook It's kind of clogging up my daily drawing bag and I don't work in it every day I do work in it a lot, but it really just needs to have its own bag so that when I want to work on that I just you all the materials I use for that are in a bag Because those markers I really don't use anywhere else so anyway Mark I should say markers and pens So anyway, I'm gonna go Put my shoes on and get ready. I feel a little scattered today Could it be too much caffeine? Maybe Anything's possible. All right That's it for the moment. I'll be back. Hey guys. All right, so I got a couple things to share today I did get my dad from the airport. All right, and he's already Been and gone home to my mom's and his house and That was an interesting road trip To the airport there was a usual amount of traffic because somebody was on the freeway going literally five miles an hour But anyway Well, I was out this morning I Got this cosmetic case That's the brand name right there Says mascara maniac On the front and it says Oh Zipper pull and I really got this because my normal daily sketchbook is getting really full with you know watercolour supplies for this project and Supplies for working in the black journals and that's just too much for me The watercolour supplies are bundled by themselves But the black sketchbook journals because don't need to be in my daily sketch bag because I don't work on it every day I do work on it three or four times a week, but I don't work on it every day But I do necessary. I do want it in something. I can just grab and either have upstairs or down so I got this cosmetic case and In one side, I'm assuming this is probably for makeup brushes But I have my white and black pens. Sometimes I want black to correct a boo boo I Got this at Fred Meyer by the way for those of you who have one of those stores near you Fred Meyer is part of Kroger's food chain This zipper pocket has all the gel pens that I usually use in my black journal This one has all the marker pens. I usually use in the black journal It came like this and then over here. I have the black journal I'm working in Anna spare and a couple of sheets of black card stock I can sort of test pens on There is another pocket back here right now I don't have anything in it, but I could put these sheets of black paper in it and that's gonna work out really great for me I think and again I can have this upstairs if I'm on a chat with some of my art friends or I can have it down here But it doesn't need to leave in my downstairs daily sketch bag because that was just too much for me I couldn't get it closed. It was just getting ridiculous So I've pulled everything out of there and now I'm gonna clean that out and get that all nice and neat And I have I have another like little bag like this upstairs already one is for Paper cutting one is for just pencil work and it has all my drawing pencils in it And another one is just color a coloring book kit. I Like having them divided like this because again I can have this upstairs or down if I decide I want to work in my coloring book maybe downstairs in front of the TV I can grab that bag It's got everything in it that I need and I and I can just you know work away Or if I'm going on vacation and I said, hey, you know what? I want to bring my black sketchbook with me I can just grab this and go so that works great for me I also got and I open this upside down on purpose so that my address wasn't on here But I got my shipment from Vista print of new business cards I don't know what they look like because this is literally the first time opening it So I don't know Random piece of green plastic. I don't know what's been an air bubble So let's see if we can pull one out of here. I Picked a couple of different pieces of artwork. I wanted for the front There we go This is one of the faces I did last year That's a glossy cardstock with rounded corners And on the back is my name My PO box and my other information Love that So that's one More of the same. I did get two different ones. So let's see if we can figure out which box the other one is in This one. I think it's this one. Yes. This is one of the doodles on a said black sketchbook Cool that so very miracle So New business cards, whoo All right, that's it for today I'm gonna go clean out my daily sketch bag because I just said I needed to do that now that I got all the black Black sketching stuff out of it. All right, I'll be figuring out really quick how to mute the girls because I'm chatting with the girls on zoom Anyway, I was taking these old jars. This one was from Grand Trail mix and this one was from rice And covering them and putting a label on them so I can reuse them in the pantry closet Little contact paper a black sticker and some white paint pen works great So haven't done much today. I didn't get my last video filmed and I'm getting the crazy eye from leslie over there She's waving Anyway, I've been chatting with them. I did get one my one video filmed But I haven't got much else done. So that's all right All right, all you guys It's late On wednesday. It's still wednesday. Did I even say before that it was wednesday? I don't even know Anyway, it's wednesday january 30th. I think it's the 30th Yeah, pretty sure. Anyway, I almost said july just, you know Just took out the garbage and Was just downstairs doing some stuff down there Basically sitting on the couch to be honest I'm trying to decide what I'm going to do for dinner. I do think tomorrow in between video editing I'm going to work on my artist trading coins now I've had the blanks Cut out You ready since july Since before we moved I intended on working on these during the move and then that just didn't happen But I I don't know what I was thinking. That's a lot of coins Anyway, I found my two and a half inch circle punch and I created some Backgrounds today With my artwork that could be cut to fit the coins And then I also created a back for the coin a couple of different styles That you can glue on the back that have All the pertinent information I have that one and then This one There are six of each on the same sheet And then there are 12 different little pieces of artwork. I have the owl that you saw. There's One of my son prints Some random backgrounds From old paintings Old paintings Old paintings. You get the idea There's the copy of the one painting I use for my my logo That's the goddess stencil And I also have The blue face from my business card And some flowers So there's quite a few there's 12 different. They're all different 12 different ones And so I'll get that listing created and I'll put the link in the description below but And I also had some random paper from doing test prints and creating other listings What I call What I put them in the packages now that I call the mistake mistakes They're filled with misprints And things like that. So this was one of those Printed pieces I printed just to take a picture for etsy and to help a friend And so then I just Punched it and it was printed on plain copy paper by the way And this is an e-cake success circle punch the two half inch one The idea of artist trading coins. I think was the idea of crafty Hodges here on youtube I'll try to link her channel in the description below But it's interesting idea. So I'm going to have my hand at it And tomorrow in between video editing for february So that's going to be fun. That is gone. And I also finished Making another one of these storage boxes. I think I talked about already out of a cake hub coffee pod box To store all of my daily drawing journals for 2019 in And that's gonna live right there So I'm pretty happy about that. I'm doing a little bit more purging And I have some things that I didn't donate that friends said wake and I have that So I've got a couple boxes started over there. Whoop. Where are we right there? So working on that too and um Yeah, I still have all of my pores They're all here. I haven't they all need clear coats. So And I have bandits paw print Our sweet bandit who passed away Um over the holidays So I need to do something with that too. It's just sitting up here But not today Today I punched out my circles and I emptied out the trash and I'm going to go downstairs and get ready for dinner It's Not six o'clock yet, but I know it's getting late and yeah, that's it for right now. I will be back sometime tomorrow See you then. Hey guys. Sorry that clicking noise is a teapot I just made a cup of tea. It's the water and it's you know rocking back and forth. So it's knocking the teapot on the On the stove, uh, anyway, it is thursday January 31st.

I need to reorganize or clean Um, because at some point when you move those of you who have moved, you know You get tired of sorting and purging before the move and you're just like To hell with it. I'm going to just pack it and bring it with me I'll figure it out when I get there or you have things that you think you're going to use That are going to work in the new space and then you get in the new space and they don't so We're going through some of that and I have a couple more spaces to work on So I'm working on that and um, yeah, I got all the february commitment videos done and Loaded and I'll thought there's only there's five of them. Everything else that you see during the month is um extra I have five commitment videos with collaborations with other people that I post every month Including my creative year Explorations of me and art joy of sharing And so everything else that you see is a bonus But I always get the commitments done first and then I can do what I want and take my time with everything else So yeah, anyway I am going to be taking a painting class with pauline agnew for the month of february four weeks And there are lessons or something to watch I think every day. I haven't taken one of her classes in a long time.

Um I found a pair of my old old sunglasses when I was cleaning yesterday Now they're all foggy hold on okay Not that I need them, but I like these anyway, um I'm headed over to main street stamp and stationary really quick this morning because I decided to After thinking about it and doing more of said cleaning and getting rid of a few more things in the art room um, I decided to um Call them and see if they had You know, do they collect donations for crafters who can't afford supplies or did they know of someplace that did or Could they use some things for their classes at their shop? Something like that because I told them I have you know some binding stuff. I didn't tell them. I have paint I just really quick went through Some paints and things that I'm not using that need to be used up before they go bad and um They said yes, they do so I'm going to take it over there And I am going to um make a donation And we'll see what else they take whatever they don't take what's in the car.

I gave them away because I honestly don't use them And I wanted to figure out how I could do something like that with what I do have And I think I figured it out. So we're going to work on that today too. I'll be back Hi guys, it's Saturday February 2nd Hubby's hanging up the cuckoo clock It's just before three o'clock We've just been puttering today I'm straightening up a few closets up here upstairs that we Just kind of shove crap into and I might have to demonetize this video because I don't know if that music's copyrighted. We'll find out I guess Doesn't matter anyway He's doing that I finished the linen closet, which is behind me And I'm working on the closet in that darker bedroom back there Sort of and I'm in here in the other guest room though one guest room That's actually furnished because the other one's still empty. It has a daybed, but Here we have The costume closet so fun fact my sister a few years ago had a renaissance fair fairy wedding And then after that we were so jazzed about having to get dressed up for the wedding that we just I just kept making costumes and we've been to one or two renaissance fairs and When we lived in san jose the costumes were jammed in a box now they're gonna have their own closet So I'm finally setting it up. Yay All right, I'll be back So they're drying. I love using the deco art clear pouring top coat Not only does it go on easily dry really well, but it looks like you've covered it in resin And it gets nice hard dry without being sticky Works really well. It's one of my favorite things And I've got one two three four more to coat after that because they're over there So once these are dry and then I think I'm gonna get these framed and hang them in The spare bedroom. I think above where the bed's gonna go. So that's gonna be cool So that's it for right now. I think for this week we are gonna go out to dinner after a while and Um Probably just do something easy like get panda express.
