I just wrapped up on a shop update where I launched my coloring books, some sticker sheets, and some t-shirts. And I'm fully caught up on orders. I do have a few to pack that came in overnight. Um, but other than that, fully caught up. And I can finally get to cleaning this house. It's in disarray and it's driving me nuts. So, my plan today is to at least tidy. I don't know if I'm going to get to actually cleaning, but I want to at least tidy the basement and the main floor and fold some laundry. And I got to wrap up the vlog edit for the this like for tomorrow's vlog because I didn't have enough footage, so I just kept filming stuff. And so, I have about an hour of editing to do today and making the thumbnail. So, I want to get that up and of course get out the final few orders. So, that's today's plan. And then uh for the rest of the vlog, I don't know exactly what you'll see, but I know I want to work on the froggy artwork. I want to start on that digital sketch and just fully piecing it together. Just my next full color illustration, big illustration. So yeah, like I've talked about this in the last vlog, just like the little desk scene with all the froggies wreaking havoc. That's what I want to work on. There's also just more shop stuff that could be done. like I have more DTF transfers to cut. I have more uh coloring books to sign so I can get an accurate inventory count of A versus B-grade up on the site, stuff like that. So, I'm going to start with wrapping up the vlog edit. gold Sharpies. I'm not going to do a big batch of signing right now. Just enough for the open orders I have. Okay, don't mix those up with the old ones. I think I need three, but I'm going to sign five. A fresh pointy tip. Nice and juicy. And a thin line that won't cover up too much of the text. And next time I make a coloring book, I'll leave a spot to sign it with no text and I will have someone proofread it to make sure there's not a typo. Kyla's order. Oh, I was packing this up before I showed everything. It was Fiona's order. There's coloring book, washi, two sticker sheets, strawberry and Luna moth, and the pen. And I'm out of my shallower boxes, so I'm really stuffing this with a lot of void fill. And here's Madison's order. Some bookmarks, locking clutches, and a pencil pouch. And here's the last one. It's for Emily. We have a coloring book, little ducky print, baby washi, and a few sticker sheets. And there's still one more order, but we can't pack it yet until we have the t-shirt badge that's coming today. All right, now for some tidying. I think this cart is the first thing that's going to go. It's nearly empty anyway. Uh I don't know where I'm going to start storing these boxes. I guess if I cleared off the top of this, which is just a bunch of mess, then that's where they could go. And as for the coloring books, I was thinking down here. This is the bin that had the brown pencil pouches, but they're sold out now, so it could go there. I feel like I just want more product down here cuz it's somewhere visible when I'm doing like order packing streams. Most of the stuff I'm grabbing is not even in view. So, I could store more there. The only thing is that shelf is recessed, so I really got to reach in. But, I just feel like that's a nice spot. I could get quite a tall stack there. Uh, yeah. For now, just the two of them. ### Segment 2 (05:00 - 10:00) [5:00] — [snorts] — Now, let's move as many of these boxes as possible. Then there's this that'll fit. I actually need to order a lot of new boxes cuz I went through a lot of my stash. This one doesn't really have a spot up on the green shelf. So, sometimes I just have it living down next to the garbage can or like at the end of this shelf. It feels like there's so much stuff that needs restocking right now. From packing supplies to some of my staples in my shop, like the Rad Backs. Might need more SK coloring books soon because those are running low. The amount of times I go to say sketchbook instead of coloring book. I just bought more DTF transfers even though I just bought a bunch for the shop update. Restocking the t-shirts. I'm going to be buying more sweatshirts. And that's not even really going towards the next shop update. I still need to buy all the products for the Froggy collection. So, every single dollar I just made off this shop update is going right back in to the shop. Oh, yeah. And I just ordered more stickers. Although, I feel like I need more squeaky seams just as well. Um, and there's some prints I need to restock. Just like the amount of restocks in addition to the new stuff that's going to come out, it's a lot. — [snorts] — I just topped up the sticker sheet piles in here and this is the last of video game. It was one of the designs I didn't order as much of because it has been a sticker sheet in the past, but it was selling quite well. I would say Luna moth. I mean, I haven't even looked at numbers, but I just feel like Luna was the best seller. Looking over my shoulder right now at my remaining stacks. It is the lowest stack out of the ones I ordered more of. These are my remaining stacks here. So, video game was there. Halloween Cats I ordered a smaller amount of cuz we've done it before. And then these two I had a smaller amount of, but Luna I had the I ordered 500. Uh, same with all these designs in the middle here. It was 500 of each. So, of the ones I ordered 500 of, stationary was the least popular and then Luna moth was the most popular. Now, to summon Christian to come take all this cardboard up for me. Okay, I'm going to stop with the basement tidying for a little bit and hit up the main floor just to clear some space because that shirt shipment should be multiple large boxes and uh we need a spot for those. This is the area I'll hit up last, the kitty box. I might move upstairs and just keep it for a couple weeks and then flatten it, put it in the recycling. Um, but they don't hang out on the main floor that much unless we are here. So, I feel like this is a bad spot for it. This is all foam from coloring books. And then all those boxes are new thank you cards. And I would like to leave the boxes up here if possible. We'll see. I might have to still just haul them down and haul the cardboard back up. But we just got rid of all the basement cardboard. But I don't want to bring more down. Then this is our main entryway/d room full of stuff and the dining room table. ### Segment 3 (10:00 - 15:00) [10:00] Although I don't see this being fully cleared out until we do get through the rest of the coloring books cuz there are signing supplies and whatnot. The glassian sleeves and then those boxes, those two stacks over here, those are the rest of the coloring books. But I want to focus on getting all these shipping boxes out of their bubble wrap and then bring them downstairs. And these guys are empty and just need to be flattened. I've got the America's Next Top Model documentary going. — Just as I was bagging up this the bubble wrap, the shirt delivery came. Yay, more boxes. Well, it doesn't look that much better than it did before, but this is more clear. And this area looking like this. Bring down the last of these. Christian brought these down. I'm going to put them under the stairs. He's working on the t-shirt right now. He also helped me bring down these, which are just sitting here for now. I need to clear a spot up here cuz this is where I usually keep all the thank you cards. I've got a small stack of the old ones still. [sighs] But got to make space cuz this was a big shipment. The boxes got me dirty. No. Shirt acquired. I started putting some of the boxes under the stairs, but I realized I would be closing like covering up this bin, making it inaccessible, and I needed to refill the shopping bag bins. So, let's do that before we put all these boxes on top. This one's officially empty, though. I mean, I might have to put some bag back in. So, let's see how many of these I can fit into here. This divider completely collapsed because that side's so empty. I restocked all four. So that thing is stuffed. — had to sit down for a few minutes. That's a lot of physical activity. I got to get back to my daily walks. I haven't been going on them since winter. [snorts] That was my fear is that I would stop once the weather turned, but it hasn't even been that cold of a winter. It's been quite mild, so I have no excuse. I do love the walks. Like, when I was going on them regularly, I was really looking forward to it. It's not something that ever felt like a chore that I had to do. So, like now that I've stopped for a while, restarting does feel like a chore. I just got to start. — ### Segment 4 (15:00 - 20:00) [15:00] — Okay, let's take a Look at the room. Wow. Uhhuh. Wow. Turning around. [snorts] This is mostly cleared off. I need some of this stuff accessible. We got the DTF transfer still out. I do need to vacuum still, but I'll do that whenever I vacuum the main floor. Do it all at once. Stickers are cleared out. Tables cleared off. And in here is this area. So it's looking really good cuz it was looking really bad before Bridgetgerton tonight. — Yeah. Is it just about treat time, Kiki? — Yeah. Another kitty has joined in on the whining. Isn't that right, Midna? Okay, it's now Sunday. I've been replying to emails. I had quite a few come in and uh doing payroll, you know, and replying to YouTube comments and I just had lunch and it's currently 1 12 p. m. Now, since I packed orders a few days ago, 45 more have come in. Clearly the vlog gave it a boost as it tends to do. But I feel like that's a lot considering the shop updates now over two weeks past. So Christian's working on shirts right now. And I probably won't pack those until tomorrow. Um but I do want to do a little bit of prep for that. I want to sign more coloring books, but other than that, I do want today to be very art focused. I want to start the digital sketch of the froggy illustration. And while I'm signing, the Apple Pencil can charge. Can we take a moment to admire the beauty of the hanging plant? It has grown since I first planted it. And it just looks gorgeous. Wow. And now I'm going to water it because I forgot to do so when I was watering the rest of the plants this morning. I'm thinking of putting some little hooks or something up here and running the longest piece of it up and over. I don't know. Especially cuz this first dangly is getting long. And we've got a new dangly here that can stay cuz like I like that piece being down here. So now that one has grown out, I can maybe I don't know. All right. I have these two stacks still sitting out from when Christian set them up for me, but I need more than that for my current batch of orders. So, we'll have to open up another box of coloring books, but we might as well get through these stacks first. [snorts] An update on the cardboard house. This is where it's been sitting upstairs in like the loft area. It's kind of right in this intersection, but it fits well there. And uh Midna's been loving it. Yeah, you're in there a lot, aren't you? One time she even bullied Kiki out of it so she could be in there alone. Oh, nice arm. And even though it's against the wall, it's a little offset so that the back door the back door is open so they can still get through. I was about to start sleeving the coloring books and then I thought, wait, let's not cuz I talked earlier about how um I was only sleeing them initially to help me with that initial rush of orders. But since we're past the initial rush, I can just leave them unsleeved and then put them in their sleeves at the time I pack their orders. And that'll be kind of nice cuz if there's another paper good I want to slide in with it, like a bookmark, then I can do that. And I have the barcodes on the back which were not scannable through the glassine. All right, the stack is ready for tomorrow. Okay, canvas dimensions. I need it to be the same aspect ratio as the paper I'm going to use because although the sketch is digital, the artwork is going to be done traditionally with marker and pencil. So, there's this smaller size mixed media paper I have, which is what I did shady shamrocks on, but then I used bigger paper for gazebo cats and forest cuddles. Although Forest Cuddles wasn't the full paper size. There's a white border there. And then Gazebo Cats did go all the way to the border just to give myself a little extra bleed on it. So Shady Shamarks is kind of half the size of that one if you factor in just the ### Segment 5 (20:00 - 25:00) [20:00] area I colored in. Uh but yeah, we're going to go with the big paper. The trifecta. Now the big paper is this one. Okay. 11x4. So, I'll make the digital canvas the same size. It doesn't really have to be. It could be smaller as long as it maintains the 11x4 ratio, but I'll just do 11x4. Keep it easy. 300 dpi. Maximum layer is 34. That's plenty. Now, I also need my sketches. So, I'm going to recreate this general composition. And there's going to be a lot of playing around with what kind of items go where, which froggies go where. That's why I need to do this digitally. And yes, my nails are grown out and getting nasty. I want to redye my hair before I redo my nails. So, I need to get on that. Maybe even redye my hair tonight. If not tonight, tomorrow morning. So, I made a perspective grid in Procreate and I'm not sure how good it is. I tried to match the perspective of this roughly. So, I guess just start tracing out the main shapes of the table and see if this works. I'm trying to figure out what to name this. And I'm looking up synonyms for words like artsy, strongest synonyms, pretentious. I don't know about that one, but self-conscious. Yes. I'm just trying to think of a fun play on words with the froggies. I want the name to include something about it being an arts and crafts desk. Like it could just be craft desk froggies. It could also be something related to the word mischievous like fish froggies. I don't know. But I still want some mention of the setting. Artsy amphibians. Troublesome toads. Devious desk toads. Droggies. Drugies. Like froggies. Drugies. I bet he's sniffing that glue. Croaking crafty chaos. I mean, just crafty chaos is kind of fun. Doesn't have to mention the frogs. Temp name. Temp name, which might become the permanent name. I think the guidelines I created are pretty good. Uh, I want to add in the window. Now, the thing is over here, I can hardly see the lines. They're more opaque over here. So, I might turn on the drawing assisted drawing. So, I think if I turn that on, my lines will stick to the grid. Okay. Yeah, that did work. Okay, it was going well until I got to the window sill. I think the perspective is going to be wrong for that. I need to move the horizon line cuz where it is now, we're not going to see the top of the shelf. Like, I did decide that the shelf is going to be a window sill kind of like this, but I want to be able to see the top of it. And with our current horizon line, that's not gonna work. After much trial and error, I think I have a layout I like. It's just scary. Like, I want to get this right. This is the foundation of the illustration. I offset this corner line cuz I'm wondering if the desk should look like it's away from the wall a little bit, like not exactly flush against the wall. And it'd be cute to have a froggy kind of hanging on. You can see his little hands and head peeking up. Cuz in my original, I toyed with the idea of seeing one hanging off the front edge here, but with this current perspective grid, we don't really see the edge. Like I could add it in, but it's I don't know. It makes the desk feel small. I want it to continue off the edge. So, although I had some ideas of frog poses to draw, I didn't know all of them, and I wasn't sure exactly where everything would go in the illustration. So, I was like, you know what? Let's just get started. I can move things if needed. But, you know, there was actually minimal moving. Uh, I decided to start with some books. I figured that's a good foreground element. Just three different books at different angles and a book end on one end. And I wanted some kind of structure here because the glue frogs, the glue bottle needs to be on the window sill and it needs to drip down onto a frog down below. But, I didn't want it to be too far down. So, there had to be some kind of box or something that the frog is sitting on. Plus, it just makes sense to have little art supply cubbies on the desk. So, that's what I drew there. And there are some stickers on the side of it that you might recognize. And we need a cup of pens. Every desk needs that. And so, I decided to go with a mug for that one, just for a little bit more of an interesting shape since it's got a handle and then I can put whatever design on it. And this ended up being more of an art desk than a craft desk. So, it didn't match what I originally pictured cuz as I was going, I was like, you know what? We don't need a ton of art supplies in this or a craft ### Segment 6 (25:00 - 30:00) [25:00] supplies, sorry. It just works like this. So, I can do a different illustration in the future that's more crafty. This ended up not really being crafty chaos. There are some crafty elements, but mostly just illustration and painting supplies. Um, and then for this paper, because we have to have the frog to facing some art here, I just used that grid to do the paper in the proper perspective. And then I drew the face just straight on and then warped it to fit the paper. That was the easiest way to do it. And then there's this little froggy who's tracking Prince from a tube of paint. Now, I'm kind of torn about this because I did picture the frog walking like a cat or dog would, not hopping. But I have had a couple comments on the artwork of people saying like it'd make more sense if the prints were hopping prints. And so now I'm a little more torn about it. Like do these little stump-legged frogs still hop? Cuz also the footprints are just little circles cuz they just have nub feet. So it doesn't feel frog like in terms of the shape of the prints. So maybe I should do groups of four like it's hopping. I don't know. I'm going to make a couple tweaks to this still. And if you have any thoughts about it, do let me know because I haven't traced this onto my final paper yet. It still exists in digital form only. So I can go and change things. And there are a couple other things I am thinking about changing that I'll talk you through when we get there. So yeah, this is the glue bottle frog. This is probably my favorite idea in addition to the mustache drawing one. Well, and the footprint one. Oh, you know what? I can't pick favorites. I just can't. And I was really unsure about how to draw the glue dripping on the frog because in my original sketch it was just his face poking out of a big pile of glue, but then I ended up wanting it to be mostly on his back cuz I feel like that's how it would make more sense for it to drip down. I don't know. And then this is the ribbon frog. So really similar to that ribbon frog illustration I did in my sketchbook that I colored in. Uh, and it's sitting on the ribbon spool and the ribbon is still attached to the spool. Kind of like the frog grabbed one end and fashioned a bow. Maybe another frog helped. I don't know. And then I had requests for frog butts and I heard you. Okay. So, there actually two frog butts in this illustration. Um, so I drew that one that's kind of loafing from a rear view. And I ended up putting that near the mug of pencils. And then I wanted a frog in water. And I was torn about this because I love the idea of a frog just sitting there squat and it's at the bottom of a cup. Like it sank to the bottom of the cup. That's so funny to me. But also, if you picture a frog in a body of water, their faces are poking out. And so I felt like that made a bit more sense, but also gave me an opportunity to draw a frog at a different like in a different pose instead of just, oh, another squatting frog. It's like, oh, he's actually dangling there and his body looks a little goofy. Um, so I ended up going with that. I still love the other cup frog. Um, but he's on his own hidden layer now. [snorts] Uh, and then for the window plant, I decided to arch one of the branches of it, stems, what of it, whatever, over the window cuz I needed to cover more of the window and fill that space. And I was like, "Oh, we can just arch this. That'd be kind of nice. " I also thought of window clings potentially, but I don't know if that would just look confusing. Um, and then I added like a little eraser in there. I didn't show me drawing every little item in this, but yeah, a flower pot in the corner just to fill up that space and add a bit of plant life to this desk. Uh, and there's a little frog hanging off the side of the plant. That's what I decided to go with. Uh, one of my original ideas was if there was a very leafy plant, there could be a frog sitting in the potentially with a leaf partially obscuring its face. But I mean I could add that to the window plant. I'll think about it. And then I wanted another container kind of like the mug but holding paint brushes. And so I Googled cute pen holders and this strawberry thing was like one of the first things that popped up. So a strawberry pen holder and I thought that was fitting cuz we have the strawberry sticker on the side of the little drawers. And I added a little washi roll in there. a sticker on the top of the desk. There are paint splotches. Um, and then we got to pause here. This is the end of it actually, but I have more to say. On the back wall, there's a picture of a cat. And then there is a little holder holding some rolls of washi tape. And then we have that frog whose tongue is sticking out, grabbing a spider. And there's just paint splotches around him too to fill the space. But I'm unsure about the spider because his little legs are kind of creeping me out. And I don't know if ### Segment 7 (30:00 - 35:00) [30:00] I want creepy spider legs in this. So, I could switch it to something else like a ladybug. The original idea was that he's eating a button. Like, there's a spilt jar of buttons on the desk. Although, that's kind of giving squeaky seamstress because I did a spilt button jar in that. But also, since this is more of an art desk now and not a craft desk, I feel like the buttons don't make sense. And then another idea that came to me is he could be sitting on a sticker sheet and he's licking one of the stickers and it's peeling up the sticker. So, I kind of want to try that. I don't know if it's really going to translate well and I don't know if a sticker sheet is too much detail for that area, but I'm going to give it a go and just see if that could look good and it kind of ties into that heart sticker that's on the desk. So, who knows? And a couple other things you didn't see me draw. We got like a sketchbook. We have a pencil sharpener and a tube of lip balm because I always have one sitting on my desk. So, that's why I put that there. So, this is the illustration so far. And I'm probably going to make a few tweaks. Oh, and that pencil that's laying down on the desk overlapping the mustache drawing. I feel like we need a bit more perspective on that. Like make the pointy end a bit wider because you could see quite a bit of exaggerated perspective on the piece of paper yet the pencil kind of just [snorts] there. So, might change that. Um yeah, let me know your thoughts. Oh, and we have the dang the dangly frog. You didn't see me draw him, but underneath the potted plant there's a froggy hanging. So that's ultimately where I put a hanging frog because I imagined there being him hanging off a ledge somewhere in the illustration and that's where I ended up putting him. So let me know your thoughts and especially about the froggy footprints and I can make tweaks. So yeah. What's this? A little cuddle beep. This is my drawing arm. I need it. Okay, I'll give you pets for a little bit. It is now Monday and today is going to be primarily an order packing day. I've actually already gotten started on it. Um, yeah, just cuz so many orders came in. I actually have 49 open orders now. So, that's enough to keep me busy most of the day and I'm hoping to have them all out by the 400 p. m. mail pickup. There's one sweat or t-shirt blank rather that we're waiting on a long sleeve tea. Um because we got some of the t-shirt restocks in already and the rest of it was supposed to be here Friday, but the shipment was delayed. Um so I mean I should check the tracking again now. Uh I'm assuming it'll come today because as of Friday it was here in the city. So it's likely coming today. We need one of those shirts for an order to get out today. And [snorts] Christian's busy working again on all the stuff cuz he didn't get through it all yesterday cuz there was just so much. So hopefully he can get through everything by the mail pickup. And if not, stuff can go out like tomorrow or something. So yeah, little Kiki's being a sucky baby. Just purring away. Oh yes. Oh, and I want to put in a little video I took this morning of midnight in her cardboard house cuz she's been loving it. Cuz last night I gave her treats in a little ramkin cuz she doesn't always come down for treats at treat time. Um, so I bring them up to her and she was in her cat box at the time I brought the treats out and she came out of the house to get the treats. And so the container was sitting outside her cardboard house. And when I went up today to go do my hair, she was in there and just her little jar thingy next to her. It looked like she's a little homeless kitty and she's got her little donation jar out. So I had to give her some money. Oh, and while we're inserting cat videos, I need to show you one that I forgot to put in a vlog forever ago. When I was printing off those card game score sheet notepads, at one point I was printing and there was a printing progress screen that had this little line zipping across the screen and Kiki was going nuts attacking that thing. — It got a little too intense and I had to minimize the window. I'm going to get a bite to eat and then keep packing. I should have been editing this morning, but there's just too many orders to get out before 4:00. So, we're prioritizing that. Oh, and I didn't end up dying my hair. I said I would last night or this morning. I haven't because I realized I didn't have the dye. I thought I did. I thought I had the Wella dye cuz I didn't use the full purple tube last time, but I only bought one pink tube and I used all of it. The other tube I have is actually a dark blonde color. So, I ordered it and it's coming today. Um, but yeah, my only other option for dye I ### Segment 8 (35:00 - 40:00) [35:00] have on hand would be that Joyco stuff. I have one more bottle of it and honestly, that's my favorite of the magentas I've tried so far. It's just the one that stains my entire body. So, I kind of want to get an attachment that turns your bathtub faucet into a hose and then maybe do that in this basement bathroom. Sacrifice this tub cuz I also had to scrub down the shower for forever last time and it was staining the grout between the tiles and stuff. So, you know, this could be the sacrificial tub, but I'd have to somehow like lay down and hose off my hair. I don't know how it's going to work. And I would have to do it not just for the initial rinse out, but also for like the next two or three showers, I would have to do the same thing. So, I don't know. I haven't fully committed to the Joyco, but it's the most tempting cuz I need something that will actually lift my hair. I can't just put like Arctic Fox over my natural hair color. I'd have to bleach it first. So, I'm specifically going for hair dyes like semi-permanmanent to permanent hair dyes that actually lift a little bit. And this Wella that I want to reuse is very red. So that's why it's not my favorite. Joyco has the best color. It seemingly had the best longevity and it was easy to apply because it's just like one squeezy bottle. But then the pain in the butt part comes from rinsing it and not staining your body and your entire bathroom. — It got like caught. It came out right here. — The sweater's losing its string out of the box. The delivery arrived. These five boxes here. Wow. And that's the previous delivery. Wow. It's all dirty. You know, I have a spare. Wait, do we have a spare string or did we turn them all into cat toys? [sighs and gasps] — Cuz I've Wait, I have three sweaters. So, I should have had three strings, like three zips. — I won. And I know it got turned into the cat toy that's upstairs right now. So, — okay, then we might have a spare string cuz I take them out of my zips. This is what I mean by cat toy. — And see, stringless, stringless. But where's the strings? I usually put them up here if I have any, but I don't. Got a green string. Well, then I guess that sweater might just have to be a B-grade. So, we do have a couple zips that are already B-grades. So, we could steal the string from one of those and put it in the other one. Okay, let's pack some borders together. I locked Christian in his embroidery room. Meaning I just closed the door because he's embroidering and heat pressing. He leaves the door open because it gets really hot in there. But uh it's really noisy, so I'm closing it just while I'm filming. This order here is for Bailey, spelled the same way as me. We have Luna cream paper sketchbook, Forest Cuddles pencil pouch, and a coloring book. I feel like this influx of orders happened for a couple reasons. Number one, maybe because I mentioned the coloring books were selling so well, people are trying to get their order in before this first batch sells out. Um, but I think the bigger reason is probably because the tariff pricing went down. And not only did it go down, it's expected to go back up a little bit soon. So, it's kind of at its lowest point since before when there were no tariffs at all. Cuz the vast majority of these orders I got in are going to the USA. And yes, most of my orders do typically go to the USA, but it's even more. It's like nearly every single one is going to the US. So, I think that's why. For Naomi, we need a long sleeve froggy. This one right here. Pencil pouch. I got to refill this bin. And a Critters and Characters coloring book. Kathy is getting the strawberry sketchbook. White paper. It's my only white paper sketchbook I have in stock at the moment for plain white. Of course, there's dotted white if you're into the bullet journal dot grid. And we need a coloring book. It just looks so ### Segment 9 (40:00 - 45:00) [40:00] much cuter outside of the glass scene, like for packaging and filming purposes. Sorry, Kathy, I'm fondling your sketchbook. Let's do one more for now so I can give Christian some fresh air. A Luna moth washi. This is for Christina, by the way. Dainty flower washi and dainty flower notepad. I just remembered something. Someone had left an order note asking for one of these stickers and I was going to put it in the order and I forgot. And this is something that would have been sent out like a week ago at least. If that was you, I'm so sorry. — All right, break time to sign more sketchbooks or Can I not say sketchbooks for once in my life? I need to sign coloring books. I even signed some extras yesterday or whenever that was. Yeah, yesterday. But there were more orders that came in overnight and there have been more coming in while I've been packing. So, let's go. I need six more. And update, it's 3:30. I'm mostly caught up on orders. I'm as caught up as I can be. I'm just waiting on two pocket TE's from Christian. Then I can pack those two orders up. I'm going to order some boxes right now cuz I'm completely out of two box sizes and getting low on some other ones. And I need more of that 5x7 glassine. So, going to put that order in now. Okay, here are all the orders. In the end, there were 56. That's just from the weekend and today. That is nuts. Thank you so much. I was not expecting this big of an influx. I'm trying to edit, but I just can't get into it. I think it's just too late in the day. It's a morning activity. Okay. Oh, hi, Kiki. Yeah, she wants her treats. Soon, Kiki. Soon. Oh, no. It's a T-Rex. Watch out. You look like a little kangaroo or something. — Yes, you'll get your treats soon when supper's ready. Okay. It's Tuesday morning. It's hair dye time. We'll see if this is the last time I use the Wella dye or not, just cuz it is so red. That's why we're mixing purple. And I'm going to mix more purple than last time. And I could mix blue. I'm just scared that blue is going to overcorrect cuz violet is blue and magenta. And so I'm hoping the blues tone things out and then what's left? Magenta. ### Segment 10 (45:00 - 50:00) [45:00] And you [snorts] know what? I'm going to use all the purple that's left. So I used this much of the tube last time, which I'm realizing now is probably less than a third. That's probably more like a quarter cuz that was the flat end of the tube. So if I use all of this, is my hair going to turn out really dark? Maybe. But also, last time I was running out of dye. I was struggling to fully saturate my hair. So, if I can use the whole tube, I'll have more dye to go around cuz I used this exact looking dye in a dark blonde in the past cuz back then I was trying to match my natural hair color a little bit just to cover up my grays, but I've since abandoned that. Um, but that blonde one is a 2:1 ratio of volume or developer to dye. So you end up with more liquid because you're putting in more developer. This stuff's only a one ratio. Although I'm probably going to cheat it still and just do a little bit more than one to one because then again I have more volume. So I've got my scale. I've got my mixing bowl which is tainted from henna. But you know it still works. And if the bathroom looks dirty at all, don't blame me. Okay? Blame Christian. He's the one who cleans this bathroom. Oh, I should have put my gloves on already cuz I think it just touched my skin. Yeah. Whoopsies. [snorts] This sweater is not technically one of my hair dye sweaters, but it is one of my oil painting sweaters. So, like it's meant to get dirty. I had a burgundy version of it, which I was using for hair dye for a while, but I forgot about that and I ended up donating it. So, I've got a go-to t-shirt. That's my hair dye t-shirt, but I get cold, so I started wearing this one sweater, but I didn't use it much and forgot that was the hair dye sweater. Okay, now we're doing all the remaining purple. I'm scared of this. Oh, by the way, it will not look purple out of the tube. This is what it looks like. So, I can't even tell what the mixed color is going to be. Like, it's just going to look red, a slightly lighter red once I mix it together. We're not going to see the true color until it develops. This is why the Joyco is kind of nice. It's just a tube. It's ready to go. Just slather it on your hair. No mixing required. No developer. No mixing of two colors, worms, intestines. So, it looks like we have 91 g of product. So, I'm going to add 91 g of developer and then chop it up a little bit. I have volume 20 developer making my potions. Okay, we're at 97. 5. Let's hit a honey and we don't need that anymore. Okay, I'm still sniffly. Please, please. Okay, I got to try to operate my camera without smearing dial all over it. It's a white camera. It's looking a lot more uniform now. Now, usually I go after my roots first and then I do everywhere else, but I feel like sometimes I miss just this crown area. It doesn't get as saturated as I would like. So, I'm going to paint the surface of my hair around the crown and then do the roots. Trusty black towel. Let's lay that down. Okay. I use the rat tail to part it. And I kind of work my way down one side of my head, then the other, and then try to fill in the back. So yeah, I'll repeat that on the other side of my head and then do the back. And then the little dangly bits hanging out that have no dye. All the ends I then just kind of scoop hair dye up with my hands and just run it through like this. But I need to shut the camera off before my hands get too covered. This one's okay. Usually I pile my hair on top of my head, but I forgot to do that. And I've already taken my gloves off and cleaned up. So I'm just going to leave it hanging like this. I might just have more dye on my neck. I guess I didn't clean up my neck yet, though. I should wipe some of that off. Now, this has a 30 to 40 minute development time, so I might just make myself a coffee, sit at the island, maybe work on my cryptics a little bit more. I was working on them last night. I'm almost through the book. I just have one mini crossword left, and ### Segment 11 (50:00 - 55:00) [50:00] then the mega crossword, and then it's over. But I did download the app that goes with the book, although it only gives me one cryptic per day. Um, and I can subscribe to get access to the weekly crossword, but it's $9 a month. And I'm like, no, I'm not. And then I downloaded this other cryptic crossword app that uh is free cuz I thought I would print off the cryptic crosswords from the Guardian newspaper, but I was looking at some of the clues and I just like the whoever writes those clues, I don't think I fully understand their methods. I still got to try because they do a daily one like a full cross word every single day and so that'd be nice. I can complete it on my phone or I could like print it off and do it on paper. But yeah, we'll see. We'll see where my cryptic journey goes. I also got to do my daily Pokemon pack openings. — Let's see if this is for Bailey. — Nope. — Well, unless you want it. — Yeah, he kind of stopped playing. So now I'm making him open packs again just in case there's something I want. My cute pink catnip list gone cuz that was Deluxe EX, which I completed. I now have Fantastical Parade written on this envelope along with the Paulan Fates, which I'm actually so close to completing. I just need a few things. And I write down which account has which card. If there's just a blank empty circle, it means none of my accounts have it. Yeah, pretty serious business over here. This one's very laggy. Eh, we got a shiny in there. Yes. Oh my god, I have suiced Raichu already. I need a T. Yes, yes. Oh yeah. Oh, I need X here. Okay, these two accounts were just chasing full art trainers, so M the variety here though. A full art, an EX, a dud, and full art trainy. Yeah, I had to post that in our Pokémon group chat. The boys are home. Wonder picked. Cross it off the list. Now to the cryptic app. This is today's clue. Blue beard selecting squares for patch. I feel like it's telling us to select squares from this word cuz there's no way blue beard is the definition. But which letters are considered squares? I've tried evens. I've tried every four letters. I'm just looking at threeletter words I could get out of here. I feel like bed. A bed could be a patch. Like a flower patch. Flower bed. Should I punch that in as my answer? Okay, if I write it in all caps, L E are square letters. Only three of them are square, which is perfect cuz we need three. But is Lee the answer? I input bed and it was it. I just don't understand how we get bed from squares. And I did take one hint cuz I wanted to know if I was correct in with the selecting squares thing. Selecting squares from Blue Beard. And I was correct. Waited arm a minute. There's an explanation video. Explain to me. Going to be honest. I was kind of just looking for threeletter words using the letters in Blue Beard and found bed by pure luck. Me too. — To think about squares in terms of square numbers. Our early square numbers are 1, four, and nine. — Square numbers. — The first, fourth, and ninth letters. — Oh my god, it's apparently square numbers. So like 1 squared is 1. Two squared is four. So the fourth letter 3 squared would be nine. So the ninth letter. Wow. That definition of square did come to my mind, but I didn't think there was a way to apply it to the letters, but now I know. And in my cryptic book, I have this left and this left. Okay, this has been sitting in my hair for over an hour. I really need to rinse. But you can see it looks a lot more purple now. And makeup is done. My hair is starting to dry a little bit. It is very purple, but that's kind of what we need right off the bat because the purple will fade and then the reds and oranges will stay behind. So, you know, this is good. And my ends will always be a little funky cuz I have henna from about shoulder length down. I have orange henna in my hair. So, there will always be some of that showing through, especially as it fades. Wearing a black shirt just in case color leeches while it's drying. The lighting in here is also very pure white, the lights above me, compared to like a standard yellow bulb over there. So, it's going to look more bluish in this lighting. So, the purplier it looks in this room, the better. Midna's in her house. We're going to have to keep it forever. And my fingernails are assorted shades ### Segment 12 (55:00 - 60:00) [55:00] of pink. And now I'm going to make up a grocery list and go get those groceries. I haven't meal prepped any specific meals. It's kind of a bunch of random stuff. Although, I do want to do bagel BLTs when Christian's parents are here. So, we got bagels, lettuce, tomato. We'll have the eggs, cream cheese spread in case you just want that instead of making a sandwich out of the bagel, that kind of stuff. Oh, and the bacon. I got to show you my little hairs. Can you see it? That's where one of my lumps was. And they didn't shave my head. Um, but you know when they're cutting with a scalpel, they accidentally cut some hairs. And so that's where one of those was. I have some short hairs on this side too somewhere. But it's not as bad as this side. And when my hair is short, it's wavy. So this little piece growing out is like [snorts] sticking straight out of my head. But the texture is seemingly back to normal cuz the hair that was growing out of that cyst in particular was like zigzags and it made this little bird nest of hair and I would always touch it cuz it was so rough. And I think it's growing in normally now. I have arrived. And on the car ride over, I got really hungry. I realized I haven't eaten yet. This is a really dangerous time to get groceries. I'm gonna buy everything. The produce section is so busy. I'm scared to vlog. I got most of my fruit and veggies. Need potato, which I forgot to put on the list. But yeah, this is way too much. But that's $11. This one's seven for half the amount of potato. But you know what? I don't need that huge one. Medium freezer bags. I wrote small, but I meant medium. Mini eggs are on sale. Just what I always wanted for Easter. A hamburger chocolate. They're out of the ketchup krispie minis other than the smaller bags. But limit one. Rude. It's cuz it's a price match. But it says combined varieties. Does that mean I can't get these? Cuz I also wanted to get some of the white cheddar. Also, why are the big ones called crispy minis when these are the minis? Like the big ones used to not be called that. You're not mini. You're full size. I don't know if combined varieties means flavors or the different types. So, I'm just going to get one. Uh-oh. They don't have Christian's chocolate chip cookies. There's only oatmeal for the no name. There are dad's chocolate chips. So, those are not on sale. What else we got? Chips of Hoy are on sale. We'll get that. He's not that picky about the brand. So, I love the no-name popcorn twists. $2 a bag. Well, two for $4, but that deal is like always on. Cart just got real heavy. We're going Buzzmati instead of Jasmine. Orozo's on sale. I'm going to get like four of these boxes. Peanut butter. Took us forever to get through the big one. So, I'm just going to go with a medium one. Also on sale. Most of the stuff I'm grabbing today is on sale. Nuts. Getting real full here. egg. Wait, do they have any bigger ones? Oh, they have 30. I'll just get two dozens. The baked in store bagels. Yes. Two for $7. M. I don't see cheese. Is this blueberry or is this raisin mix? Oh, what? Cinnamon raisin. I feel like cheese would be better for like the sandwiches. I hope this counts for the sale. I'm going to get the mix of cinnamon raisin and blueberry. The looney I used for my shopping cart has been sacrificed. Someone needed a cart but only had quarters, so we traded. I must replenish the stash. Ignore all the trash. My car is filthy. [clears throat] I always have a Looney in my car, one in the side pouch of my purse, and one in my red rolly cart. Although, I don't use the rolly cart so much these days cuz I have to drive to the store in Vancouver. I lived across the street from Supertore, so I just take my rolly cart and go. [sighs and gasps] I am sweaty. The man behind me in line, he saw me furiously packing like bagging the groceries. He's like, "You sure look busy. " By the way, this is what my backup ### Segment 13 (60:00 - 65:00) [1:00:00] camera looks like cuz my screen is all messed up. I also have to use my mirrors only the oldfashioned way. You know, I miss my backup camera so bad. And here's how it usually looks. I'm listening to Lay Miz cuz we're seeing it in two days with Christian's parents, but I'm not familiar with most of the songs, so I should have been listening sooner. I'm not even through the whole album for a first listen through. So far, it's a lot of very much old school musical vibes where they're like, I don't know. I don't know if it'll be one of my favorites, but, you know, I'm listening into it cuz I like knowing the songs ahead of time, especially since I can't always make out what they're saying live. I like to know them in advance, but I think it might be a little too late. And there are like 33 songs or something on this album. But I'll try to get in at least two listens before I go in for the show. Okay, I know you guys like the grocery hauls. I'll do like a quick pan over everything. Um, this is bigger than our usual grocery run. Okay, just for the record, we had to restock a bunch of stuff and I'm going to be meal prepping a bunch of veggies and things. So, let's just do quick view. Some stuff's like hiding behind cuz I just couldn't fit it all in here. Mhm. You saw a lot of this during the shopping segment. Okay. And now, if you're wondering, Bailey, what the hell is this? Didn't you buy enough pop? This was the freebie item. Cuz usually they have a thing where if you spend over $300, you get a freebie item. And there was a choice between Diet Coke and regular Coke. And you got two of these flats. And apparently they had paper towel before. That's probably what I would have chosen if they still had it. But I'm happy with this. We're just stocked up on pop for so long. So what do you think this all cost? My eggs are going to fall out. $376. 55 Canadian dollars. Let me do some conversions. Okay, that's $390 Australian dollars cuz our dollars are very close right now. That's $275, $273. Those are basically the same. 206 British pound. A pound is worth almost 2 Canadian. So, those of you who get nosy about grocery stuff, there you go. Now, I will say this is ice milk, not ice cream. Superstore [clears throat] stopped selling the big tubs of ice cream. The only place I see it nowadays is Costco. Everywhere else has moved to ice milk. It's still good, but ice cream, man. M. And they were out of pizza pops. So, no name pizza pops. Oh, and the red pepper jelly was on sale. So, I was like, let's get stuff for meat, cheese, and crackers. We have the cheese already cuz I bought a big Costco block of it and froze it. I got to refill my tubs. We were completely out of orzo, completely out of jasmine or basmati. We're doing basmati this time. And then this is like plain long grain. I don't know what to call it cuz this is also long grain white rice I guess. But is basmati not also white? I don't know. Whatever. You get it. You know what? I'm going to have some of these off-brand pizza pops right now cuz it's past 3:00 and I have not eaten. These are really good. By the way, with regular pizza pops, we typically get cheese flavor, but there wasn't cheese in the noame. It's either pepperoni or deluxe. So, I went deluxe. It's really good. Out into 300 g baggies. And look, it's 1,800 g. It's perfectly divisible by 300. I'm going to leave about this much in the bag. Hopefully, we can eat that before it goes bad. And the rest are for my veggie meal prepping. And I'll just freeze a bunch as well. And I'm not going to be peeling those. Who has time to peel potatoes? Plus, I like potato skin. I'll just cut off some of the gnarly bits. But other than that, I'm just chopping it up. So, the easiest way to do this is just buy a bunch of frozen veggies, throw them in bags. That's what I did last time, but I feel like it's not filling enough. I need potato. And some of them I'm going to put rice in as well. And I'm adding black beans. Just something to add some bulk to keep me more full. But it takes more work cuz I have to pre-cook this. Plus, I bought the bulk carrots, which I'm going to pre-cook as well. The broccoli, I don't know if I need to or not. Like, is frozen broccoli pre-cooked? I'll have to Google it. But anything that is frozen, I'm not going to pre-cooked. It's just going straight into the freezer bag. I looked it up and I do have to cook my broccoli and my potatoes. So, this is going to be a bit of a process, but future me will appreciate it a lot. Also, hair reveal officially, I guess. I just brushed it out. Oo. Actually quite like this cuz my thought was if this goes well, I stick with the Wella cuz the Joy Coaster is so messy. So, I'll monitor the situation, see how it fades. But I ### Segment 14 (65:00 - 69:00) [1:05:00] feel like this ratio of pink to purple was pretty good. So, I cooked them till they're about half done. Then, I go in ice water. Then, I'm going to lay them out on a towel to dry a bit, then freeze them single layer on trays and then put them in baggies later. Yeah, mushy. Why is it so much work? Rice is done. Carrots are going. And the broccoli can be steamed after the carrots. So, this is just for the ones that I'm freezing potato alone. The ones going in my veggie packs were baked and hopefully they freeze okay. I didn't put any oil or anything on them, so they did dry out. I hope that helps the freezing process. Carrots are done. Broccoli's going. I'm running out of time. I'm not going to make supper. I was going to do a stir fry. I even cut up like extra carrots and stuff for it, but just do it tomorrow. I'm doing two different veggie combos that it's not the same every day. Not that I'm going to eat this every day, but like three or four days a week with egg on top. I cook an egg fresh and put it on top. It's my favorite lunch and it's quick cuz I just dump out my veggie bag into a bowl, microwave it for 5 minutes and then everything's cooked. But that's if it's thawed. Like I'll always have one bag out in the fridge to thaw for at least a full day before that. Should have done more carrot. I definitely need more broccoli. So it's cooking. And I'll add some onions. It was just a small onion, so it's not much cuz ideally every single bag would get onion. We got four different combinations. Okay, but there's like the two recipes. Then there's potato versus rice. I just don't know if there's enough in each one, but man, like that doesn't look like enough. I could add more rice. I do have more rice. And there's broccoli being added to that one. Um could add more corn cuz I do have more corn. I've got more edamame. Maybe I'll put that in even though edamame was for the other ones. I also realized I didn't get peas. That would have been nice as well. Yeah, only half of them have onions. Although I should probably just get those diced frozen onions. Those would work. So there's the beans ones over here. Green bean, black bean, edamame. And then the carrot and broccoli ones over here. Couple of them are not in bags cuz those will be for the next couple days. And I still have to deal with these guys. There they are. I have not seasoned anything. I haven't seasoned anything. I think I'll just do that when I heat it up cuz then I can kind of customize it for the day however I want. Add any sauces potentially or just a bit of butter and salt. And these bags can be reused for future batches. Okay, I got the par-boiled potatoes on trays. They'll go in the freezer. I've got my game stream tonight. So after the stream's over, I can divvy these up into bags cuz it they only need to freeze for a few hours. So let's do that. I picked my smallest trays. So hopefully these fit in there. — [snorts] — I mean, if I fully empty one side, I could just stack them all there. Oh no. I'm going to have to eat this ice cream. That freezer needs a dick clean. Okay, this ice cream bowl is just going to have to go right on top. My hair looks so dark down here. Bake off. Um, I cleaned up the kitchen. I didn't get around to cutting the cantaloupe. I didn't have time. So, we'll do that tomorrow. Also, tomorrow's going to be a cleaning day. Vacuum up mop bathrooms. One in preparation for Christian's parents coming, but also it just desperately needs to be done regardless. So, I had a bagel for supper and then I um poured myself some of these popcorn twist things. Although, now that I'm down here, I'm not even hungry for those, but I can pick away at them throughout the stream. I think I'm just going to play some Pokemon Violet cuz I'm working my way through the DLC. And yeah, that's the plan for my evening. I'm going to end the vlog here. So, thank you so much for watching and I'll see you guys in the next one. No, I definitely made one of each in that batch and I was like, "Oh, no. That means I probably put the froggy in someone else's order. It just took me forever to find it. " Luckily, I can look up orders by skew. So, I look up that skew and I can see who ordered that shirt. And so I wrote the name down on a sticky note.
