I think holding off until the new year is a good idea, since hopefully the strike will be over and you won't take as big of a loss in shipping (and more designs yay!)
Hey Baylee, with the art journaling I know people typically want to go in order of their memories and such but I’ve found that it’s easiest (if you’re behind on pages you want to do) to just go ahead and do the most recent memory because it’s the freshest in your mind. Or at the very least make notes about this trip, things you wanna remember, pics you want in the spread etc. Just coming from someone who art journals and forgets stuff lol 😬
Hope you had a wonderful vacation. Just my opinion, but I wouldn't even think of releasing the witch hat sweaters until the Canada Post strike is over and they have a week or so to clear out their backlog of stranded mail and packages. There is no need for you to cut your profit margins s so much. I'm sure people who order would be happy to wait. Also that Mint color with the pink hat and the bright pink sweater is gorgeous with that pattern. Have you possibly thought of just doing a floral pattern on the sweaters or even just on the sleeves ,not on a zip up, just a different color way to use up your threads? I bet the Luna moth thread colors would make up a beautiful floral sleeve.
So glad you're back! I almost had.a heart attack when I didn't see you posting the whole week. I'm following you on Bluesky, but apparently I didn't set up the notifications properly. I did not get any notifications. I just thought to look, after 5 painful days worrying, and found that you posted that you wouldn't be uploading a video. Heavy sigh of relief. LOL. So glad you had a nice time and took the well-deserved break. I love your Christmas decor. Your living room looks like a Christmas postcard. I stink at decorating. I've long come to the conclusion that I do not have any female skills. I don't wear makeup, not a fan of shoes, can't "style" my hair, (don't really want to though), do not like shopping, & can't decorate worth a dang. See, proof. LOL. I think I'd wait til next year to put out the sweatshirts. By then the strike should be over. Can't wait for your next video!
Sorry about making you worry! I don't like to disclose travel before or while I'm away if I can avoid it. I posted the announcements as UA-cam posts as well, but not many people see those either. 😅
Would of been cute to have a paw print on the eraser. But did you miss an outline on the white heart (not sure what it is but it's next to the ruler), the bottom of it?
Loving the pink sweaters they are so cute! I also really love the mint ones! I would really want to get one of those, but they often sell out fast so ill see if im able to grab one at the next shop update :) Im really glad you made that mailing list, i dont se community posts or insta posts so tge mail gives me a chanve to react before its too late 😂
Give the Eraser a paw print...it's a Pawser! Just saying lolzzz Also, *Kiki knows* ...she about that influencer life now, given her merch did go viral, can't blame her!!! Kitties are being the cuutteesstttt 😻🙀😽😻🙀
Baylee Jae you may want to check a product for your car it is called a "Dip Stick Oil Heater" you place it in the hole where your oil dip stick would normally fit, and plug it in as you might a block heater. Here in the states they range from $50.00 U.S.D up to a couple of hundred. They keep you oil from thickening with the frigid temps and able to supple your engine with proper lubrication and provides overall warmth to you car motor. Some require removal and replacing the manufactures dip stick to operate the vehicle, so be aware and read any instructions if you purchase a model for your automobile.
Book one had me hooked at first, and now it's a bit of a slog. Get chased by enemy, run away. Get chased by enemy, run away. On and on. 😆 I've also seen the show, so it doesn't feel new. Once I'm caught up to the show, I'm sure I'll read faster. Or once I'm closer to the end of the book. The middle is a little repetitive so far. It's taking me way too long to get through the first book, but I did cave and get it on Kindle which is helping. I like to read in bed at night.
i was sitting here thinking "man those luna moth pins do look great, i wish i had one" while sitting like 45 cm away from my bag which has one of said luna moths pinned to it
Hey Baylee! Since you ship to Europe, just checking if you already knew about the new product safety regulations (gpsr) that go into effect December 13th. I'm from the EU and we're still trying to wrap our heads around our new obligations, and I know people from outside the EU also need an EU-based legal representative from now on. Since you were already thinking of closing your shop, maybe it'd be good to at least shut off shipping to Europe until we know what's up a little better. Let me know if you want more info. I mod for a fairly big European artist alley discord, we've been gathering up information as best we can, I'd love to help.
@BayleeJae yeah... I feel you :( the law is aimed at larger businesses and dropshippers, but small businesses are getting caught in the middle. We don't think they'll be very strict about it, at least at the start, so I don't wanna cause unnecessary panic, but it's all so vague right now. Blegh.
This Canada Post strike is so annoying A. Canada post doesnt have excess money to give them giant raises B. How can they expect to stay m-f when the entire business has gone 7 days a week Its just so annoying that allllll unions are just striking now I feel bad for the canada post workers who are still working but their work is impacted by the strike. I hope they dont get laid off due to lack of work
@hajerabegum3435 different union. There are three different unions in Canada Post. Only the mail carriers are on strike. The store workers or distribution center workers are not
I think close the shop until the strikes are over. Another Canadian business owner selling hoodies has done the same for now. Its a shame but temporary. But ong the cute kiki and midna booties 😻
I just turned off international shipping as of yesterday (except UK). Fully shutting down my main source of income that Christian & I both rely on would be silly. The majority of my orders are not international anyway.
I don’t see a strike resolution until the new year. CP is being petty, laying off who they can. This could be a big turning point CP. They want to reform their business strategy
Update, it’s now confirmed by the men in white coats, I officially am a Baylee Jae UA-cam vlog stalker, 😂😂😂😂😂 I have sat waiting for a live, also your usual post vlog days, staring at a blank screen ! Hahaha, I’m such a sad arse!….so happy you’ve had a great trip, although the car situation must have been a nightmare…..I’m off to New York next week, hubby wants to see the Christmas tree at the Rockefeller Centre… that means I’ll have a few vlogs of yours to watch when I get back, that will surely fill my boots and give me something to definitely look forward to.. So, just know, you are so missed when you (so deservingly) take a break… loves you and Christian, not forgetting the beebeeies ❤❤❤❤❤
almost forgor to watch this. i remember when you mentioned the strike and said it wasnt gonna last long, i was thinking "man, she really underestimates the ability of corporation representatives to just hope their workers will give up striking and make zero changes"
I'm one of the unfortunate people whose package got stuck in Canada before the strike. I'm not so much worried about the delay, but more worried that it will get lost in the giant pile of mail that must be waiting at Canada Post...
I want one so badly now. But for situations like the airport, if it was in my trunk, wouldn't it also be dead from the cold? It's something I would have to take indoors if I'm traveling.
I started by selling leftover convention stock on Storenvy, which was just a few orders here & there. Then I made my first enamel pins, which I consider the true starting point of my shop & I switched over to Shopify. I used the profits from that to order more product, and it grew from there.
I feel your pain! 3 years ago my cat ate needles off our artificial tree and had to have surgery to remove the blockage they caused and then was also super sick from the fire retardant they put on it. It was a scary and expensive experience. I did finally find a tree she doesn’t try to eat made by GE.
Sooo my graphics card is "not able to run win11" and i find that fuxking shitty and odd when i got a fairly new, mid priced, graphics card, when prices where crazy, and win11 had JUST begun rolling out.. Im not sure why but win11 requires REALLY new or REALLY good graphics cards to work!? Like unless you bought your computer with win11 on it or like right before it was released its *most likely* not able to upgrade at all.. I find that to be the wierdest and wildest requirement from windows ever.. I have never in my life, not been able to upgrade, and i jumped from win7 to win 10 on a computer that was like 7 years old no hardwear changes.. My current graphics card is 2 years old for gods sake! Anywho, you are not alone in getting ready to upgrade to then be told "nah not happening".. Do better windows 🙄
That's really weird. My graphics card is 7 years old and it says I will be able to upgrade. It's silly that Windows 11 requires so much, considering they are ending support for Windows 10.
@@BayleeJae Its honestly wild.. Its insane that they are already stopping the support when, as you say, not everyone is eligible for the windows11 upgrade.. We are looking into getting new graphics cards, but after learning about the new feature win11 is going to implement we are not so sure anymore.. I'm lucky to have a IT guy as my partner because i would be lost i the woods without him navigating this mess 🥲 (The new feature is "Copilot" and its fricking scary.. Its not implemented on every computer, but its a gateway, and a scary one..)
I think putting up the witch hat sweatshirts now is a good idea to jump on the Wicked band wagon!
In another corner of the multiverse, Beigey Jae is the connoisseur of all things beige and the people love it lmao
definitively release them now! they are so wicked-coded and people will love them ! maybe even as late xmas presents:)
Kiki just laying there while Midna makes cow biscuits.
I think holding off until the new year is a good idea, since hopefully the strike will be over and you won't take as big of a loss in shipping (and more designs yay!)
It's been 84 years! 🤣 Glad you had a nice vacation! 🙃
My therapy session is here!!! ❤
The stationary art is coming out so cute! I can't wait to see how all those products come together. I adore the colorful version.
So happy you posted! I'm home sick and have nothing to watch!
I hope you feel better soon!
Maybe the winter bunny pillow covers are under your current pillow covers.
yeah, I thought they were still on the pillows when she got the terra cotta colored one
I was about to post the same comment 😊
It is really fun to see the process of your work.
Welcome back!! So excited to watch the vlog ☺️
Just close the shop, you are gonna get a hit anyway, but with the shop closed you can focus your time on the new collection
I'll never get over how crazy cool your whole christmas set up is!! 🥰
My favorite color is brown, especially with a fall palette. Thank you so much for all the gorgeous designs this year!
Thank goodness you’re back 🤸🏼♀️🤸🏼♀️🤸🏼♀️
Ooh Baylee! Welcome back, you were missed. ❤❤❤
The witch hat sweaters are adorable.
Finally you are back, missed you so much ❤❤
ugh I need to sleep but I can't sleep if I see you post lol
The witch hat crop looks super cute!
It is super nice to have your smile and laugh back… I was going through Bailee Jae withdrawals! 💖🌸💖
So happy to hear you had great time in Mexico!! ❤❤❤ Loving the Christmas decor
I thought you put a cover over the winter bun pillows. I may be remembering incorrectly.
I remember this, too! 😊
Happy you had a fun time with friends and a lovely Vacation dear 💖💖
Hi Baylee! Glad you're back.❤
Looking forward to when my package arrives (I don’t mind waiting longer than normal for it)
the style of the stationery illustrations reminds me of the fuzzy hygge colouring books!
These would be amazing if you did a bundle we could order before teacher appreciation week to give them.
Hey Baylee, with the art journaling I know people typically want to go in order of their memories and such but I’ve found that it’s easiest (if you’re behind on pages you want to do) to just go ahead and do the most recent memory because it’s the freshest in your mind. Or at the very least make notes about this trip, things you wanna remember, pics you want in the spread etc. Just coming from someone who art journals and forgets stuff lol 😬
That's true. Maybe I can leave some pages blank for the other spreads and skip ahead to Mexico.
the blanket for snow is so smart
Relaunch Thick Dino design for the miscellaneous threads
The pink witch hat looks way cuter than i thought it would look.
Baylee Jae are you planning on buying the Copic Acrea Paint Pens?????
Welcome back ❤
Waiting until March for the sweatshirts and doing a Spring theme drop sounds really good. And would be less stressful on you.
I wouldn't wait that long. The next collection drops in March, so I'd like to sell these beforehand to clear up space.
Love your videos. Thank you for being you. You are my idol
Your shop is looking great! So cool to think just a few people out there get to own each of these collections
Look into an oil pan heater for your car! Most vw's have those rather than a block heater. I have a Tiguan and that it was I have!
Hope you had a wonderful vacation. Just my opinion, but I wouldn't even think of releasing the witch hat sweaters until the Canada Post strike is over and they have a week or so to clear out their backlog of stranded mail and packages.

I agree. The strike is an important factor to consider.
A floral design is definitely a possibility!
I know you did a heart on the eraser, and that is cute. But, I wanted to suggest a cat paw print. ❤
I was tempted to add paw prints, but I don't want the design to be too similar to Mail Cat.
Baylee Jae, your kittys are cute pretty!!
I love the pink ones
yay a birthday vlog
Waaa some news outlets are saying the CP strike could go on until at least February :(
So glad you're back! I almost had.a heart attack when I didn't see you posting the whole week. I'm following you on Bluesky, but apparently I didn't set up the notifications properly.

I left it open so I can tile it. It's a lace washi.

Loving the pink sweaters they are so cute!
I also really love the mint ones!

Bookkeeping time = Midna kneading bread time!
Woohoo my Baylee fix.
I wanna see Wicked but also don't wanna wait a year after the first half to see the second.
Give the Eraser a paw print...it's a Pawser! Just saying lolzzz

Love seeing what people eat! I don't know why 😂
the single loose sausage had me giggle
you should put the S thing we all drew in elementary school on the eraser because that’s what was on my erasers 😅😂
You could layer a larger tree skirt underneath!
27:07 bebe biscuits!

Midna making biscuits ❤
Loving the sweaters!! So pretty colours! Also, let us know what you think about wheel of time! :D

The company I work for in NJ has stopped all orders to Canada till the end of the strike. We ship a lot to Canada. Its crazy.

35:02 I accidentally turned on the Spanish audio track and even though I am a native Spanish speaker it still freaked me out 😅😅
Huh just now noticed this audio track thing. How accurate is it?
17:46 UFO sightings
almost forgor to watch this. i remember when you mentioned the strike and said it wasnt gonna last long, i was thinking "man, she really underestimates the ability of corporation representatives to just hope their workers will give up striking and make zero changes"
I’m shocked the government hasn’t stepped in with the Canada Post situation, but I’ve heard rumours of re-structuring whatever that means. 😕
Yay! \o/ 😆😆😆😆😊
I'm one of the unfortunate people whose package got stuck in Canada before the strike. I'm not so much worried about the delay, but more worried that it will get lost in the giant pile of mail that must be waiting at Canada Post...
They haven't been accepting any new packages during the strike, so it shouldn't be too bad.
First!!!
GET ONE OF THOSE HAND HELD BOOSTERS FOR YO CAR
I want one so badly now. But for situations like the airport, if it was in my trunk, wouldn't it also be dead from the cold? It's something I would have to take indoors if I'm traveling.
Baylee Jae, how did you start your own business?

I used to watch you
Does that mean you won’t have a Easter release either? No Christmas design this year and now no cute Easter design coming up:/
I've never done Easter, as it's a bit too niche. I do have pastel and bunny stuff in general which is a bit Eastery.
I'd love to bring out our tree, but my cat would eat it. He on watch for already eating string.
I feel your pain! 3 years ago my cat ate needles off our artificial tree and had to have surgery to remove the blockage they caused and then was also super sick from the fire retardant they put on it.
