Helen, you "SHOW UP" for yourself every day you work. Some times we don't give ourselves enough credit. You set your mind to do something and YOU get it done every time for us. So take that time to paint, something that makes YOU happy! Thanks for sharing!!
I think the oil painting mentor is a wonderful idea for YOU. You’ve turned art into a job and we’re so grateful, but it’s really important that you do something to remind you that it’s fun too!
I ordered from TCMC for the first time over Black Friday and I’m so ecstatic to continue supporting your shop after watching your TH-cam channel for so long ❤
Oh, no. I hope you feel better soon! Happy birthday to Mama Tater. I hope she had the best day. Good luck with the sales! Love your spread and PWM, as always. I'm so sad that I missed out this washi tape.
Helen, I think that your dedication to TCMC is amazing. However, I still think you should give yourself grace. You have a created a community that understands if you are delayed on giving information to us. We love your work and view you as a kind young lady who has created a wonderful community and brand.
🫶🏼I hope you are staying hydrated and resting as much as possible. I’m so excited because my washi and other items are coming this week‼️ Please take care and make that appointment for the oil painting mentor-do you🫶🏼
I'm sorry you got sick. Even when you feel better, take some time to rest. You're most vulnerable to getting a second cold after you've recovered from your first one. Hugs.
I’m so sorry to hear you got sick. I hope you continue to feel better and recover quickly. I had the time of your sale set on my alarm, it was definitely the highlight of my day. Congratulations on finishing your French course, that’s so awesome. All the best for the upcoming week.
Such a pretty and clean spread! I love the pagan sabbat sheet! Thank you so much for offering that option this year! I hope you feel better ❤️🩹 soon!!! ❤❤
You’re amazing inside and out! I’ve said this to you in the Facebook group and here again you could have bf sale 3 weeks from now we would still buy from you. We value your well being and health. Take care of yourself we love you. Thank you for all your hard work and dedication.
Hi Helen, I’m sorry to hear you weren’t well last week, I hope you are feeling better! As I was hearing you talk about doing an activity outside of work it occurred to me that you might enjoy doing something completely new to you? Maybe? 😅 There’s a couple in Vancouver who teach west coast swing classes and they are lovely and so are the people who participate. It’s just a fun bunch of people and they’re all very welcoming. Their beginners class starts at level 0 for people who never danced before and it’s so much fun! I really miss the classes (I can’t take them at the moment). If you’re interested or curious, they’re called Michael and Amy. Have a lovely week!
I’m sorry that you were not feeling well but hope you start to feel more like yourself soon. Bridgerton Season 1 and Bridgerton Season 2 are quite different. I didn’t like the first season at all but gave Season 2 a chance because of actress Simone Ashley who is lovely. That being said, the series is not for everyone so it’s absolutely understandable if you don’t try again given how busy you are with the shop. The painting opportunity sounds so exciting!

Hi Helen! First of all, thank you so much (SO MUCH) for all the time and energy you invest in this channel!!! I love your videos -- you are an inspiration!!! I do have a question for you (and I'm sorry if you've answered this before, but I can't find it - nor do I remember your answer - in past videos): it's the Hobonichi paper ... before I buy a Cousin, I am researching it. I've read that it is akin to "Bible paper" or "onion skin" and that there is bleed thru or ghosting that can be very distracting. I've watched the pen tests. But I have yet to see you have a problem with this, and you're using fountain pens! I use gel pens and rollerballs. What's the skinny? Would you recommend the Cousin to me? Thanks much!!!! Happy 2024!!!!!
Hi hi!! Awww it's my pleasure! The hobonichi paper is indeed thin, but it is meant to be able to handle ink! So fountain pens work beautifully. There is no bleeding (meaning ink seeps through to the other side), however there is faint ghosting (meaning you will be able to see faint lines from the previous page). This bothers some people, but to me it is not a problem!
I hope you’ll pursue this oil painting mentorship opportunity! I understand why you think you’d need a reason to do it but I believe you also know that you DON’T. Creativity is creativity is creativity and it’s ALL good.
Aw, hope you feel better soon, Helen! Love the way you tore the wide washi tape - I might adopt this idea from you because it’s a fun way to make it “fit” in smaller spaces. You mentioned groceries, and I’m curious - have you had any of your chili recently?
Helen, I have a really dumb question, when you are planning in your weekly section, do you plan with the time ladder or do you just list things you need to do/have done? As always, thanks for sharing and I am going to have to try that with the washi :)
I’ve watched your videos in the wrong order but are you thinking of retrying the outdoor painting thing when the weather is warmer or of trying something else entirely?
I love your videos! I was looking in your shop for kits and I saw Hobinichi weeks and cousin…. I was wondering if you recommend anything specific for Hobinichi techo a6 ? Thanks in advance
I love your stickers and looking forward to making an order but I really really really want some washi tape. It’s always sold out. Is there a best time to get some?
You have inspired me to get into Hobonichi and also try fountain pens. Is the ink you are currently using on this video dries quickly or you have to wait a bit to avoid smudges? Hope you're feeling a lot better now!
Hello! Just a quick note on fountain pens. It's very helpful to get a blotter sheet (j herbin makes them in packs). I have them in all my notebooks. It depends on the ink, the nib size, and the paper. For example, Hobonichi is made from what's known as Tomoe River paper. It is known to take longer to dry and this is specifically because it's made to display fountain ink properties. The slower the ink dries the more you are likely to see all the fantastic properties that the inks bring to the table. Let me tell you it is nothing short of amazing when you get to see it on Tomoe River paper. So you have shading inks, sheening inks, shimmer inks, etc. I honestly don't feel like it takes that long to dry and I use fine to broad nibs in my hobo cousin and a various sundry of inks. I also use a blotter when I need to close my notebook in a hurry. This prevents ink smudging/or going on to the other pages. You will absolutely LOVE fountain pens. The two together - fountain pens and tomoe river paper are such an amazing experience. Note you can see ink dry times on a lot of fountain pen retailers websites. Goulet for example has a tech spec page for all their products, and there's also mountain of ink Kellie's blog that shows inks, various papers, dry times, various nibs etc. You're going to have so much fun!!
@@bruin_tea_et_ecriture Thank you very much for your input! 😊I'm still in the research process for picking the fountain pen that's suitable for beginners (or at least can make my life easier if that's even possible 😅) then wanted to research more about inks. I'll def take look at drying times or research more about it before I make my final decision 😊

Helen, hope you see this comment. Please please please restock the vellums, I love all of it too much.
Hope you're feeling better now! I tested positive for covid on Thursday so I also haven't been feeling well this week, heh...
*sigh* Time to try a hobonichi cousin again! Like someone else said your planning videos are sooo relaxing !!!

Happy Sunday Helen ❤ I love your planning Videos! I've placed a second order for this weekend. Hope my husband didn't realized it.... 😂
Awesome video, as always, Helen. Can you please send me link to where you got your fountain pen from? 🫶💕💜🩵💗💙😘
Helen, I have a really dumb question, when you are planning in your weekly section, do you plan with the time ladder or do you just list things you need to do/have done? As always, thanks for sharing and I am going to have to try that with the washi :)
Not a dumb question! Yes I do follow the timeline!
