Yassss I love an ADHD queen! Also the contents of those blue bins on the top shelf are prime examples of having no object permanence and i love it haha 🤣 seeing someone like me in the small business world makes my heart sing!
Thanks for discussing ADHD, I finally talked to my GP and she sent me the quizzes for ADHD/ADD, Depression, and Anxiety. She just wants to cover it all which isn’t her usual so happy about that! Now I just have to fill them out… been a week and a half already 😬 Your space is so nice! I will definitely have to get one of those standing/sitting desks when I move and have my new studio space!
I'm so happy she seems willing to work with you on that! Hope you're able to get the help or find the answers you're looking for xx Thank you so much! They desks are really so helpful. Even tiny adjustments to the height for different tasks makes a big difference. Definitely helps prevent a lot of neck pain when it comes to working on tiny, detailed things because you can bring it right up to your face lol
Don't be creeped out by the ring light gift That's super thoughtful. This is the 2nd video you've spoken about it. It must have made an impact. You could definitely use it in social media and RU-vid life, so honestly it's possibly a great and usable gift 🎁
I meant that we've never mentioned my channel to them before and we were left wondering if they secretly knew about it or watched it because of gifting a ring light. But I'm pretty sure they just think it's what everyone wants nowadays because of social media.
I love and appreciate your honesty… and that you also laugh at yourself 😂 I, too, jump hobbies. I think it’s usually because I end up doubting my skills 🤷🏻♀️ What a great idea on organizing your drawers. I think that would really help me. Thanks for sharing. Can’t wait to see your new space 😅
Hahaha, thank you! Just trying to be real because I'm sure a lot of people can relate. I'm sure doubting my skills could be a part of it too! I never thought of it that way. That way of organizing helps so much! Makes it easier to clean too because when everything needed for one specific task is in the same spot, you just dump it all back in there when you're done lol. Glad you enjoyed and hopefully it won't take me 10 months to do my next one!
Great video and office hope your business keeps doing well and am sure your weekly planner is from the allice thorpe youtube channel which also about a small business
I love your studio. Anywhere you move, your studio will strive because even though your condition, you want to strive and have a positive attitude. I also think I have either ADD or ADHD. Im going to get myself checked soon because everything you have shared and said, I do as well. Its been a struggle. Your vlogs motivate me much! Even though my shop is closed for the moment lol. I plan on opening in January. Blessings to you guys in your new space! Congrats! So excited for you guys!! Can't wait fir your future vlogs!
Aw, thank you so much, Brenda! Definitely don't fear reaching out to someone if you're struggling and think you need some help. I'm so glad you can find some inspiration and motivation from my vlogs. Not going to lie, sometimes I even rewatch my own older vlogs to inspire myself for future ones hahaha. Excited to start vlogging in the new space. Thank you for following along and commenting :)
Hahaha. Someone actually commented the thinking someone was in their house before which is why I mentioned it here 😂. Oh my gosh, why have I not heard of those? Genius.
Thanks for sharing and sharing your mental health journey. I wasn’t diagnosed with ADHD until my adult years and it’s been a journey. Especially women being diagnosed since our symptoms are much more different than men. Your comment about impulse control hit home. 😂 Would love if you did a video on that little engraver you got from a person who owns a glowforge. It’s hard to get a “hobbyist” one to try out and see if you like it without dropping the $$$s. Also! Have you considered selling your “oopsies” stash (the ones that aren’t up to your standards?) at a discount, so you can minimize waste (and break even?). I always have that intention, but also lag because it’s one more thing to do. But something to consider. ☺️ thanks for sharing your journey.
You're welcome! I'm so glad that others can relate and find comfort in me sharing that side of things. :) Gosh, just knowing I have ADHD now though helps a lot when I get those fleeting thoughts to buy or try something new. I'm sure it's going to help me save a lot of money 😂. I'm definitely going to be trying the little laser in the new space because if it's good, I'm hoping it can help me make other items while the glowforge is doing the more powerful, complex stuff. I have sold my oopsies as "seconds" online in the past, but the thing is that with hand stamping, nothing is really an oopsy unless I stamp the wrong letter or extremely off centered. A lot of the times I just end up taking what I think is an oopsy in the moment to in-person events, and literally no one notices anything wrong with it and they pay full price. I find much more comfort in someone picking it up, looking at it, and then deciding to buy it at those events. It's just me being an extreme perfectionist. It's supposed to look hand stamped for goodness sakes but my brain will not accept that. The fear of negative Etsy Reviews has left me traumatized for life lol
I have a question for you....can you come and organise my craft room? Haha thank you so much for the gorgeous inspiration. And may I say you look fabulous (always did), but theres something in your eyes that looks so relaxed. I'm so pleased for you xx
Did you happen to do a pop up at a beer festival in Winchester VA?? I bought the manifest that sh*t sticker and put it on my mood board! I can’t believe I just stumbled onto your YT channel!
Yes, you do! You can vent it out the window, or they have a filter you can purchase which can last anywhere from a few months to a year. If you're engraving a lot, especially wood or mdf, it clogs the filter faster, so I'd recommend venting it out the window. Now that we own a house, we're going to build a more durable, permanent piece that can be wedged in the window that the hose can attach to.
I was wondering if you have any recommendations on steel stamps to use other the impressart brand wise? There are so many companies big and small as well as options on Amazon and etsy that it's a bit overwhelming
What is the noise level with a Glowforge? I know you used to live in an apartment. I'm heavily considering getting one but I'm currently in an apartment
The sound stays confined within a room pretty well with the door closed! My husband works from home and even when in an adjacent room, the noise level was never loud enough to affect any of his calls or zoom meetings if the door was closed. I can still talk or hear videos without headphones in the same room as it - it's just more peaceful with headphones. When I vent outside and my husband or I happen to go out there while it's running, you can kind of hear the fan whirring, but nothing louder than the hvac units already out there, street noise, or cars driving by 🤷♀️. My last apartment was ground level and one of the managers who I know noticed when walking by a couple times never said anything lol. Hope that helps!
Beautiful workspace! Thank you for sharing! P.S. Fellow professionals will completely understand why you don’t reveal your supply sources; we call it proprietary information, and it is always a smart decision business-wise to keep proprietary information confidential. 👍🏼🙂
I get them only from vistaprint.com now since they finally added a new recycled paper option. They have square business cards and you can choose the option where you can use recycled paper for those if you want them to be more eco-friendly 😊
Hi! How awesome! Oh sure, I can probably do a quick run through in another video. I found a link on their website though with a few tutorials! You can find it here: www.shopcanvas.co/tuts. Hope it helps ☺
@@simplymerrion4823 I love it! Lived in Northern Virginia for almost 20 years and I enjoy it in RVA much more, which is why we ultimately decided on buying a house here 🥰
Definitely normal to eventually lose interest in something and move onto something else either permanently or temporarily! Having multiple interests is fun and good for our brains! 🙂 Switching hobbies *rapidly* is just one example of how particular ADHD symptoms can manifest themselves, so the correlation does not imply causation. The rate at which someone with ADHD can shift focus can happen very quickly, like losing interest before something you ordered online even gets delivered or losing interest after a couple minutes because you got distracted by something else or became paralyzed by the thought of the amount of work or effort required. It can cause those with ADHD to spend significantly more money than a neurotypical person due to a severe lack of impulse control or constant seek of stimulation, and it can also make starting something extremely frightening due to knowledge of past experiences of never following through, causing extreme cases of procrastination or ADHD paralysis. These are just examples and ADHD isn't diagnosed by just one symptom, characteristic, tendency, habit, etc. A lot of neurodivergency is simply things that are seen as "normal" being done more frequently, rapidly, or to an extreme level, usually with a feeling of guilt or failure attached to it because we do things we say we don't want to do or vice versa.
? I was creeped out that we've never told them I have a RU-vid channel and it made us wonder if they watch it and just never mention it to us. Sounds like you misunderstood.
