Introduction

Hey there, it's great to have you here! In this article, I'll be giving you a sneak peek into my life and sharing my plans for the week ahead. From reflecting on the past year to launching my Etsy shop, there's a lot to cover. So, let's jump right into it!

Reflecting on the Past Year

Before we dive into the present, let's take a moment to reflect on the past year. 2021 was quite a rollercoaster ride, filled with ups and downs. However, I'm feeling optimistic about the year ahead. I had a lot of fun sharing my weekly vlogs with you all, and I've decided to continue this trend. While I haven't committed to creating weekly vlogs for the entire year, I'll definitely be sharing my studio vlogs regularly.

Weekly Vlogs

Speaking of weekly vlogs, let's talk about why I find them beneficial for my work. I'm not a huge fan of New Year's resolutions, but I do believe in using the start of a new year as an opportunity for a reset. That's why I've decided to continue with my weekly vlogs. They not only provide a glimpse into my creative process but also help me stay accountable and consistent with my work.

Goals for the Year

Although I'm not big on New Year's resolutions, I do have some goals in mind for the year. While I'll go into more detail about them later, one of my major focuses this week is launching my Etsy shop. I've been wanting to sell prints and stickers for a long time, but last year was so busy that I never got around to it. However, this week is the perfect time to make it happen.

Launching the Etsy Shop

This week, I'll finally be turning my dream of having an Etsy shop into reality. Planning out the week ahead, I'll be organizing my prints and stickers, taking photographs, and finalizing the shop listings. It's a step that I'm excited to take and share with all of you. The shop will offer a range of paintings, prints, and stickers, allowing you to bring a touch of creativity into your life.

Streaming Schedule

In addition to working on my Etsy shop, I will be streaming on Wednesdays at 2 o'clock. This week, I have two sets of cake toppers to sculpt. I'll be dedicating tomorrow to sculpting them and then baking them. Painting and varnishing the toppers will likely take place on Thursday. Once they're ready, I'll be shipping them out on Friday or Saturday.

Designing a New Stream Overlay

Exciting news! The Everone Chronicles is getting back to in-person sessions on the 10th. To mark this occasion, we want to have a new stream overlay. I'll be working on designing it in collaboration with Larry from Happy Action Fun Time. We'll be coordinating our schedules to find the best time to bring this new overlay to life.

Planning the Work Week

As always, planning the work week is crucial for staying organized and productive. Today, I'll be responding to emails and finishing up a video that will be posted on Wednesday. After that, I might spend some time on drawing or painting, depending on how much time I have left. It's important to strike a balance between work and creativity.

Dealing with Emotional Moments

Life is full of unexpected moments, and sometimes they can be emotional. Recently, my uncle's cat passed away, which was a sad event for my family. It's important to acknowledge and allow ourselves to feel sad during such times. While I'm not someone who experiences emotions easily, I recognize the importance of acknowledging and processing them.

Wrapping Up the Week

As the week comes to a close, I'm proud of what I have accomplished. I've launched my Etsy shop, created new stream overlays, and planned out my work week. Looking ahead, I'm excited to dive into new painting projects and continue sharing my creative journey with you through my weekly vlogs. Thank you for joining me, and I'll see you next week!
