    Things you don't know about this video: Ikea order hasn't arrived yet, but hopefully we should have furniture soon! This week has been much more calmer than last week, less madness, way less phone calls. It's crazy how good I am with phone calls now. I used to hate calling people on the phone, but now since I have to do it so much I sort of got used to it. Shop update: my stuff, all the shop stock, is finally on a ship (!) and this week I had to say goodbye of the Hastings office :( I know it's for the best, I'm happy to be closer to my shop again! Plans for this weekend: SLEEP, pancakes, I really wanna visit the Color Factory soon!

    I have been secretly wondering about your colored pencils! I recently got into them myself, and I'm in the same boat. I got a set but realized quickly I didn't really use all of the colors and felt guilty. I'm wanting to branch out and try different tip hardnesses (? the plural of hardness is that making sense?) for maximum texture exploration, so this was incredibly helpful!
    Also at time stamp 7:18 that yellow dresss!!! Is so cute, that entire drawing just made me smile so big and now I want to draw!

      @@floreacakes you're right - Caran d'Ache is even French, so that makes it even more difficult to pronounce the right way :-) In Switzerland we have 4 languages that are officially part of the country: Swiss German, French, Italian and Romansh. So Caran d'Ache is a Swiss brand from the french speaking part of Switzerland :-) Actually the reason for our cross on the flag is exactly this: the 4 languages we combine in one country.

      I'm French and curious so I looked it up. The brand's name is a nod to a French-Russian caricaturist who chose that pseudonym after the Russian word for pencil !
      "Caran d'Ache was the pseudonym of the 19th century French satirist and political cartoonist Emmanuel Poiré (6 November 1858 - 25 February 1909). "Caran d'Ache" comes from the Russian word karandash (карандаш), meaning pencil."
      And the Russian word itself comes from "graphite" in Turkish.

It amazes me the amount of work we do, and all the progress on our plans that we minimize by living day by day, like living under the shadow of one tree and not being aware of the whole forest, if that makes any sense 😅 anyway, I feel very happy for all your success and all that you accomplished, and I hope we continue keeping you company for many time
