Christy!! Spam away twin!! lol 😂 Corporate is so overrated and I cannot wait until the day I am out of it for good. For now my daily mantras are “it’s just excel”, “it’s just a job”, “this is just to fund your actual passions, it doesn’t matter”. I liked how laid back this video is and I will be doing more!

It’s so easy to get overwhelmed as soon as you find something you love. I’m going to list all that I have on Etsy and use them at markets and just phase things out that I don’t like. I’m excited about all my products ahead! Really focusing on crafting which is what I love!

It's crazy how the brain works. I truly cannot say them out loud lol 🙃

You are too kind!! 🥰🥹 Thanks for the love! 🫶🏾💕

Love meeting a fellow cyster! I got diagnosed when I was 13 but it's only been the last few years that I really realized how much it affects. You're so right!! One day at a time! We've got this! Let me know when you start your small business, I'd love to follow along on your journey and show my support! Thank you for watching!! 💟💖

Aww I’m so glad you enjoyed it 🥰 We are not alone! Nobody prepared me for the mental aspect of motherhood and pregnancy and it’s been a journey for sure. I’m happy to finally feel like I’m finding myself and loving this small business world. It's such an awesome thing to find a passion that brings you joy again, I'm rooting for you! Can’t wait to see what you create with your art!! 🫶🏾

It was a lot lol, but I'm really glad it happened. It helped me remove the fears right away and now I'm nothing but excited about improving my setup and doing more! It was so fun! YOU SHOULD DO ONE! I can't wait to watch when you do your first market and it's a home run. *Manifesting for you* and yeah It's been freezing lately and today was the first day it felt really good but it rained all day. Florida...lol

Same!! I was spending so much time trying to do what everyone else is doing or what's trending and realized at the end of the year that I don't care lol. I just want to do what I like and find my people that way. I have so many ideas for packaging and new/improved products this year and I just need to filter my brain a bit and get started! lol <3 Also, Lavender is the best color!

When he opened his gift he said that I was "trying to make him an absent father" lol. He's the type of person who never gets himself anything and he deserves some self care and nice things. He's been very happy playing every night after we get our son to bed lol I used to think that I had no space but the more I've moved things around, I realized how big this room actually is. I'm very grateful for the space even when I have to get creative to make it even more spacious. I can't wait to see what you do with your room! Draw your layout and ideas first, it's super helpful so you don't get too overwhelmed when moving everything around :) I'm the most beginner crocheter ever lol. Maybe one day I'll do a super beginner video to see what I can make when I actually sit and do it haha <3

Thank you so much!! 🫶🏾✨

Omg yay!! Thank you and thanks for watching!🫶🏾 I know they are so addicting to watch lol 😂

Hey!! Thanks for watching!! I hope you had a great holiday and end of year! 🫶🏾

You’re so sweet! I appreciate the support! 💕

lol 😂 it’s a constant sound in this house

Yes!!! It’s so helpful when you start to get in your head. Keeps me from overthinking. Thank you!! I’m loving watching us both on this journey! 💟🫶🏾✨

I love that area! 💕 Yes we do!! I don’t have any more markets for this year. My next market is at succulents empire on January 11th with collective corner ✨😊 I’m taking this month to make more products and figure out my set up. I love that for the stickers I’ll have to look into that!

Oh no! Lol 😂 The chair situation definitely was the cherry on top of the day lol 😅

Thank you so much! 💟 I can’t wait to do more!

Thank you so much! 🫶🏾💟 I can’t wait to see what the next market brings!

@@illustratingchristy always works out that my son and I get into deep play when I’m in a creative mood lol 😂. omg I get it! I reflect a lot on where I am and where I wanted to be by now (I’ll be 33 at the end of December), but my therapist reminds me to take a step back and just enjoy. I have an amazing family and support system, the best kid, and I not only have a job but one that allows me to also provide and pursue my passions. We’ve got this! I don’t like to say lucky because we worked hard to get what we have, it wasn’t luck lol. But we’re doing amazing things and will continue to do them!! Love you girl! 💟✨🫶🏾

@AshNicholeCo 💜💜💜🙌🏾

Thank you so much! 🫶🏾 It was a whirlwind but I can’t wait to do more!

Thank you! 🫶🏾💟 I have to flip the paper. I wish it printed on both sides though! That would save me a lot of time lol 😂

@ lol I was wondering because to me it’s a little bit confusing when you have to do the mirror thing 🫠

It’s so confusing! I’m still figuring out the best way to make them match up. I’ll figure it out eventually! 😁

Yes, is so confusing 🫤 Btw, I just followed your steps & when I cut the bookmarks already laminated they fall apart lol. What you think could be? The laminator or laminated sheets or?

It could be a lot of different things: the lamination paper, the laminator, the paper itself, etc. the hardest part of crafting is troubleshooting. You may have to make a few test prints and switch up each material until you find what works for you!

It’s the worst lol 😂

My queue of videos to watch never seems to go down. I’m still like 3 weeks behind lol 😂 Thank you!!! He’s my favorite little guy 🥰 and you hide your sailors mouth very well, I would have never guessed lol. My whole job is customer facing even though I’m 100% remote and it’s exhausting, but I’m slowly getting better at not letting it drain me everyday so I can do things for me. I can’t wait to get caught up on your videos hopefully this week!! 🤞🏾 love seeing you thrive girl!! 🫶🏾💟

@AshNicholeCo same girl same LMAO I have 90+ videos in my playlist so I must be 3+ weeks behind haha and I'm that type that watches the whole damn thing too lol. Love you too!!! If you ever need anything, let me know 💜💜💜

lol I’ve had to double check too many times so now I just know better 😂 it’s amazing sticker paper though!

Thank you for watching and thank you for the advice!! 🫶🏾💟✨ I’m taking it all in!! I’m currently working on setting up an email list and trying to be more consistent with my social media as well.

@@AshNicholeCo no worries and yes I would always make email more of a priority as that converts better than social media :)

Thank you so much! 🥹🫶🏾 💟 I agree! It’s so easy to get lost in the jumble of comparison but we’ve got this!! Keep pushing and keep creating! ✨

Yay!! Welcome!! 🫶🏾💟✨ Good question: I guess my biggest piece of advice is to do things, create, and make content the way that you like to see things done, created, and based on content you like to consume. If you’re trying to be like someone else but you aren’t fully into it, it shows. So be yourself! You’ll build and find the best community that way! And try to be consistent! I’m still working on this lol, but it really does help! Also, I used my phone first with no issues, except storage space lol. But I currently have the DJI Osmo Pocket 3. I wanted something easy with great quality because I’m not a camera person and I don’t understand lenses and things. I love it! Highly recommend! It makes shooting short form and long form content so easy.

@@AshNicholeCo Thank you so much!

anytime!! Tag your channel if it’s different from this one when you start posting! I’d love to follow your journey!

Thank you so much!! 🥹🫶🏾💟✨

@@LauraBosleyIllustration Thank you!! 🫶🏾💕

@@atomikjaye Thank you!! 🥹🫶🏾😭💕 I’ve been following you for a while now and I love your work too!! You are talented!! 💟 it’s so hard to not compare and in your shoes of being more seasoned as a small business I can see how hard that would be to see things from both ends. Push through!! Your work is worth it! Let me know how your online market goes!! You’re going to do great!! ✨

@@AshNicholeCo 😭😭Thanks so much for saying that! I truly appreciate it! Seasoned is an over statement, I still have no clue what I am doing haha, but I will be pushing through! We got this!!! ^.^

Thank you!! It’s my favorite spot in my home 🏠 💕 I’m working on making my whole house colorful and cozy 😊

I’m nervous and excited!! ✨ I hope I make and bring enough product! 😅 🤞🏾

I’ll have to try that next time!

You are so welcome! 💟 They’re beautiful I love having them on display! And I’m glad you’re doing well too, mental health is so important and it’s easy to get and feel “stuck”. I have to remind myself to not compare almost daily lol. We got this!! 🫶🏾✨

I actually just set up my shop on Etsy and got started! You don’t have to get an LLC to start at all and I wanted to make sure I wanted to do this first. I’m now in the process of getting everything set up to make my business official!

It gave me anxiety too! 😂😅 definitely needed some help but it’s so much better now! Still have more I can get rid of. I’m slowly decluttering everything in my house 😆 thanks for watching!! 🫶🏾💟

Thank you so much!! 😭🫶🏾 It means the world that you’re rooting for me and I can’t wait to share everything I have planned!! 💟

lol 😂

I have been planning on making one! I’ll make sure I do it soon! I don’t have one specific brand or type it mostly depends on where I can find colors that I like. I’m still experimenting with what’s my favorite but size 2 (sport) or 3 (worsted) weights have been the best for me with my fabric. I think everything except for my yarn is linked in the description but be on the look out for a dedicated video! I’m coming back very soon after my mental health break! 💟

Ooh! I need to know what book??

Pretty much any scifi but the most recent was Annie Bot. I little disturbing but so good

@@NectarHandmade love that! I’ll have to look that up. I’m down for any genre as long as the writing pulls me in 📖📚

Me too! Feeling great about it all so far! Can't wait for you all to see everything!

Thank you!! 🥹💟 Glad you enjoyed the video!! ✨

Thank you!! 😭💟😄 I don’t yet, but as soon as I qualify I plan on opening one! In my punch needle video though, I have everything I use linked in the description!

I love that! Crocheting is becoming such a comfort for me too 😊 I totally understand that holiday overstimulation, it’s great that you have a way to keep yourself grounded! 💟
