I'm so glad the youtube algorithm didn't hate you after coming back from maternity leave! I am so scared of coming back after baby #2 but oh well, nothing like those precious first few months of trying to chill out as much as possible with our babes. I love the idea of having a whole story behind your characters and building your products around that :)
Honestly I was so scared everyone would forget who I was! Haha bouncing back after a baby is the hardest thing! Well, for me it was haha but I’m sure you’ll do amazing! Just remember to enjoy the time with your new baby…as you already know, time flies 😳😱
@@fizzandflourish it sure does 🤭 and I also found it hard to bounce back into work mode, especially in the creative realm! All the creative juice 🧃 was gone haha
Girl, I'm just excited that you are sharing your journey with us. I am so happy to hear that the shop will be relaunching. The move is bittersweet, but I think it'll work out well and you not being as stressed is what's important. Moves as the worst though. Best of luck with that!
thank you for the lovely comment! You're totally right - i just need to do whats the least stressful and although i LOVE my studio, it just isnt practical right now, so im not seeing it as a step back - just a change of direction! and yes, moving is stresssssful haha but worth it i think!
It's really great seeing you run your business as a new mum. I'm an (old) mum, my youngest is 6 and just goes to show I have no excuse (joking joking) thank you for the motivation and proving it can be done, even with set-backs, however cute and cuddly they are xP Also ace camera work Derek!
Thank you so much for the lovely comment - I'm so happy that these vlogs can be motivating to people! I don't want people to get the impression that I'm doing eeeeverything, because I'm definitely not even doing a 3rd of what I did before Freddie! But I hope things will get easier! Although as you know, babies and children change so frequently that as soon as i think ive got it sussed, something happens to throw me off!!
Hey there, Im quite happy to wait for your vlogs. Having a baby is a big deal. Im so excited for you, sounds like it’s all happening for your next stage of your journey. T x
Hahaha I nearly spat out my coffee at the paper bag 😂 Also had a little fright when that truck came around the corner before remembering you guys drive on the other side of the road hahah! So glad to have you and your humor back! Can’t wait to see the garden studio come together, sounds like the perfect fit for Freddy-life! Cheers from California!
@@fizzandflourish OG Studio Vlog #1 launch day watcher right here! 💪🏻😂 I knew you’d be successful at it from day 1 and here you are proving me right! 😌
Must be pretty stressful having the studio at home !! Still amazing content 🤩 I really love the sticker on the laptop! I’d do the same so the smaller size is what I’d go with too tbh
Congrats on the new home Meg! 😊 you made me laugh so much in this vlog, especially with the paper bag 😅 maybe I should try that sometime, it would probably save lots of time getting ready 😆
hahahaha i mean, with it being 11pm i thought there would be little chance of bumping into anyone...but of course, i did hahaah i really hope the sale of the house goes through now that ive mentioned it haha in scotland nothing is legal until signing missives! fingers crossed it all goes to plan!
I'm really happy to see your new vlog! I've been watching silently before but decided to give you a comment and send you love💕 Really pretty contents and character drawings too!💕
I’m so happy to see you back! I love your vlogs. Congratulations on the house 🥳 Can’t wait to see the new one and the garden studio! So many things going on at the same time, a new baby, selling a house, buying a house, moving studio, shop relaunch etc! Wow 😳 well done you!! See you at the next studio vlog 😀
thank you Jacqueline!! i realllly hope everything goes through smoothly with the sale - i hope im not eating my words!! The garden studio is the dream!
Lovely to see you again Meg, you really are a superwoman🦸♀️ it's sad to know the studio is going, but so exciting to have a new one in your new home! Can't wait to watch the process, that exactly the setup I want for my studio space (one day🤞) Hope everything goes smoothly with your move🥰🧡
hehe thanks sam! I don't feel like superwoman but I'm happy to be doing some stuff again - although my "manageable" to do list is getting much less manageable!! I'm definitely sad about the studio, but it just made sense with my current situation, so I'm seeing it as a positive thing for sure! Fingers crossed its not long until you get your dream space too!!
I’m so happy to see you back! It’s difficult balancing that work/mom life, and I appreciate that you share that journey with us. Congrats on selling your home and I’m so excited about the new studio setup! That sounds like a dream come true, and I loved watching you set up your current studio so I’ll be looking forward to seeing your new one!
Thank you for the kind words Sammy!! I hope the house buying process goes smoothly - and if not, I’ll be searching for that garden studio regardless! Hehe you’re so right, it’s so difficult finding the balance - and as a first time mum I’m still totally learning and figuring everything out! I’m excited to be posting again though and hope I can keep it somewhat regular!!
Ooh love this design, as a Potter I'm definitely going to try and get my hands on the sticker/notepad. Also very jealous of your soon to be garden studio 😊
aw im so glad you like the design! if youd like to get the notebook you will need to join my postie pal before september 30th - but if not ill be putting Nia products in my shop too so when i relaunch you'll be able to grab something then! And about the garden studio...we havent signed yet so im terrified ill be eating my words hahaha
So good to see you again......BTW, I love the Nia notebook I have received :) Also wanted to ask about your other paper trimmer, the Wescott TrimAir? How do you find it? cuts square? crisp? I'm on the hunt for a good one. PS! I love little Freddy
Yay! I'm so glad you werent waiting long for it - I always worry with international shipping!! Ok so about the trimmer - I do like it but it has its problems. I dont think it would put me off buying it again, but it was expensive so bare this in mind when looking at it! When i lift the handle up, the whole thing comes up slightly with it. I think the bottom needs to be heavier for this to stop happening. Its a little annoying but doesnt affect the cut. The blade is very sharp which is great because it cuts crisp but i cant use it with the guard they tell you not to remove! with the guard on you cant see where to line up your work so just be careful if you decide to take it off! also, most importantly, mine doesnt cut 100% square. Which is annoying for the price. But i find that i can line it up easily because its maybe only 1mm out? I dont think ive found one that cuts straight yet (which is crazy) so this is the best ive found so far. Hope that helps!
Welcome back, so good to see you looking so happy. Squishy hugs for Freddie x
Thank you!! It’s so good to be back, I really hope I can post more consistently because I’ve missed vlogging so much!
